the secondary dream

So I know that yesterday I expressed a new life dream of happening upon enough crazy redneck stuff to make a blog series based on it. And that is still my dream (I don’t give up on dreams after 24 hours. It takes a lot longer than that to deter me from something I want; see also “unable to get pregnant for 3.6 years”). But overnight, (perhaps in an ACTUAL dream? Who knows!) I have come up with a secondary dream based on the first. Complicated, I know. Hang with me, though. (It rhymed! I am on a ROLL today!)

WHAT IF one day, whilst perusing Pinterest (as I am known to do for oh…100 hours a day), I happened upon a pin of my very own Here’s Your Sign pictures? Only instead of having a caption like “hahahaha,” which would be the appropriate response to those pictures, the captions were something like “great way to upcycle old toilets!” or “must do this next time we move the trampoline!” I’m sorry, but I would probably have to die of happiness and uncontrollable laughter. Because don’t you ever see stuff like that on Pinterest? People have repinned something totally ridiculous but with a totally straight-faced, “I actually think this is a great idea!!” caption? And you’re like…for real? You really think that’s a good idea? I guess that’s the premise behind Pinterest, You are Drunk and so perfectly illustrated by this pin, which Natasha brought to my attention a few weeks ago (thoughtfully thinking of Matt and his phobia):

Just because you can make snacks that look like bandaids doesn’t mean you should.

Just because you can put flowers in an old toilet doesn’t mean you should. Same idea, see?

Anyway.  So. The new dream: See my crazy redneck pictures pinned as an Actual Good Idea. First person to spot one (or do it yourself, if you have no Pinterest ego to maintain) and send me the link wins an amazing prize (to be determined) (“amazing” is a very subjective word, also).
