Atlanta Weekend Part I

As I mentioned early, we went to ATL for once last weekend before school starts. On Friday, Jackson and I went with Dalton and his dad to the Buckarama. That should be enough said, but I had NO CLUE what I was getting in to!

I go almost every year with Dalton to the National Wild Turkey Federation Convention and am amazed at alll the people. The Buckarama makes the NWTF look like Royalty....no joke.

First off, you cannot walk down the aisle for all of the redneck couples. Picture this.... "Earl" has his on his best camo shirt (never mind there is NOTHING in season to hunt in the whole state of GA that would require camo) with the sleeves cut out. He is also sporting jeans so tight that you can actually SEE the twins....not only were the jeans tight, but TIGHT ROLLED. Hello 1987! He has his lovely hat on backwards, because that means you are super cool and he was sporting a lovely piece of art on his arm that I believe was supposed to be Jesus??? Not really sure. The reason the aisle was blocked was due to the fact that "Earl" had his hand in "Star's" back pocket....and you guessed it...her hand was in his back pocket...how she managed to wedge it in...notta clue! "Star" was looking fab in her matching camo tank, showing off her lovely BROWNING tattoo!!!! I am NOT making this up! A woman with a Browning tattoo...you know that deer head??? Her shorts were so short ~ NOTHING was left up to the imagination!

I had LOTS of time to "people watch" because JDD went to sleep and I just sat on a bench and pretended to read while wondering what rock these people cam out from under!?! I hate to be judgemental, but good golly! You would think that one could look around and take note to him/herself, "Hey Self....you do not look like the average person." I mean what do they say at when they go get a haircut? "Remember that hideous cut people wore back in 1982? Ya' know...that one with the rat tail? Well, I am bringing it back!" I am not saying I am a fashion icon, but I DO know what is NOT in style! :)

Secondly, this place was like a BAD, BAD, infomercial (I hope that is how you spell that! ha). All these men jumping out as anyone walks by begging you to buy a $1 ticket to win a hunt, try their beef jerky, climb their deer stand, etc. I felt violated! I even walked down one aisle and got a whiff of something RANK. When I turned around to see what it might be, it was a good ole' boy who was trying to sell his "doe pee" and had given a test squirt for everyone to enjoy. Thanks!

My other favorite thing I saw was a toliet seat that holds up to 300 pounds. The seat hooks into any hitch ~ camper, 4 wheeler, truck, etc. so you can go ~ I really did like that product! :)

Anyway ~ I guess I can say that I got VERY educated in society on Friday..it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round!
