Unlike one local photographer extraordinaire my photos don’t speak for themselves. So I have to do it for them.
I never understood why people dress up like this when they are not on the ranch. I suspect that people who actually work on the ranch don’t walk around looking like this but at least they have an excuse. Another group of people who are allowed to dress like this are country performers. I think they look stupid but they are getting paid for wearing these outfits so I don’t have a problem there. As much as this guy thinks he is Garth Brooks, he is just some schmuck walking around Costco in Lenexa. I am sure the hat is there to protect him from unexpected sandstorm but he could have safely left it in his car truck. WTF?
Exhibit “B” is a license plate “Married For Life”. I guess the older lady who was sporting this gem was reasonably sure about her marital status in the future. But otherwise wouldn’t it suck going through break-up and divorce and then having to be humiliated again at the DMV when exchanging your license plate for something more reasonable like “SINGLE4EVR” or “NEVRAGAIN”. WTF?
Finally the City of Kansas City,MO found an easy way to embiggen the city treasury without dealing with its pesky citizens. These trees planted in front of the City Hall will contribute cash to the coffers without needing to be policed, using up social services and complaining about the mayor. I am not sure why the tree on the left is a better contributor than the tree on the right but maybe it will do better when it grows up.WTF?
And lastly, another visual aid from the Olathe School District. Why is the change always “spare” and who are these “people who need it”? One local saver proved that by not “being kind and donating you spare change” you can amass a small treasure which you can spend on alcohol and hookers, or, less creatively, on car repair. While personal savings rate in the country is negative why not teach kids to save every penny and donate when they know what they have in hand, rather than treating their money as scrap metal. WTF?

“SINGLE4EVR”
No, no. That would never work. There is a seven character limit on vanity license plates.

Same for KS 7 letter max!
I didn’t blow it on alcohol and hookers it was cocaine and hookers. Which of course was a joke. I hope you understand that.
This is a good idea you should make this a weekly feature.

D, I thought you spent it on car repair. I stand corrected about the license plate. When I will be KS governor, I will change the limit to 12 letters. Make our inmates work a little harder.

I did. Car repairs, blow, and hookers. You can’t expect high class hookers to do it a car that won’t run do you?

That cowbow hat is… well, I don’t even know what to say about that. Maybe he drove up from the country to Costco shop?

It could be worse, cowpoke could be wearing one of those full length duster coats. all cowboy clothes, except boots should be outlawed within the city limits.

MM- I don’t care for boots either but I don’t have to look at them,so they are OK with me.

Meesha, South of Johnson County is a lot of small towns and farms. Some people dress differently there… I know because I went to high school down that way.
Drive down 169 highway South of 151st Street and you’ll see. Plus, you’ll find two strip clubs across the highway from each other.

1. What’s your problem? That cowboy rules!
2. Maybe the plate stands for “Marred for life.”
