Howdy! Horrors from SA-town Texas

So I've made a point of coming to this group every day for a dose of laughter, and today I finally get to share a little insanity myself. My mother and I went to the nearby Goodwill in an attempt to find some reasonably priced clothes (Unlike my friends I can NEVER find ANYTHING) and after giving up I started snapping photos on my phone. I only got a few before my mum started getting paranoid though, so just three for now:

 

These two were sitting on shelves opposite each other. Hey bro, you done prayin' yet? I'm starving!

Interrupt me again and I'll kill you, sis. (He looks a lot more sinister in person)


And I have no idea what this is supposed to be for. It just said "Happy". No "Easter" or "Birthday" or anything.



We have some really good antique shops around here, and my "vacation" is next week so I may post again soon. Much luv!

P.S. This is my first time trying to do a cut. If it didn't work please forgive?

Just change the apostrophe to "
Is the Happy thing a whiteboard where you can write the 2nd part to the sentence?

Well I changed it but it's still being silly...hmmm

The Happy Rabbit was just that kinda-porcelain kinda-clay suff, and there wasn't any way of slipping paper or photos into it...I can't really explain it.

you need the close tags at the end :)
< /lj-cut > without the spaces. But it doesn't matter, it's not a long post.

That is strange... I was thinking if it were a white board, one could have fun coming up with words!

lol still not working. Guess I'll try again on my next post. :D

Yeah, I thought maybe it was missing a piece or something, since it was all hollowed out...

We had these, a few years ago, where I work. there were blocks with letters on them that fit in the sign. If I remember right they said "easter" and "birthday" and something else with "decorative" blocks to fill in the blanks.
hideous.

As the Christian angel in his Easter bonnet looked across the aisle at his Buddhist angel brother, he wondered how Buddhists get to BE angels, and where could he get that shade of lipstick?

I looked at the page source, and...

I think the cut didn't work because you put formatting on the first tag. It automatically bolds itself. So get rid of the font background colour tag and the strong tag (and the close tags for both) and I bet it'll work!

As for the pics themselves... the rabbit is the weirdest one, though I wouldn't touch either angel with a ten-foot pole!

Maybe he was supposed to have the "Easter" in the other fist?

I think I finally got it working properly. The thing apparently didn't give me the "insert cut text here" area the first 20 times, and since I dind't know what I was looking for...but now I do! lol

I never thought there would be angel statues that scared me more than the weeping angels from "Blink."

Congratulations. You win...something. My absolute terror, I guess.

Hmmm....I'm really glad I didn't move those cherubs. They were set up to be looking at each other so they were frozen. Probably the only thing that kept them from killing us all. O.O

Better hope nobody buys just one, or moves them from each other's eyeline...

God help us all if a curious shopper moves one of them.

Unless he's kneeling in front of the bloodied corpses of several small children, I really don't see how that is possible.
