Shoeshine Boy (wardrobe may vary)
Black Friday is over, you did not find the gift of your dreams for that special someone. Perhaps you feel you are running out of time. Perhaps you have a crooked toe (Lin) or a bumb shoulder (me) and the shopping days are leaking through your broken few days like sand through a seive.
No worries. Leroy is here to help.
I hear he shines a good shoe.

I DARE you to put that in your yard!
ReplyDeleteBut don't let her fool you, dear readers -- while in her drug induced haze and recuperation, she has her own personal manservant fairy to respond to her beck and call. While I have been scarred by her aforementioned mental image of him in his undies, if he would wear fairy wings while delivering her diet cokes, that would be the perfect touch.
Can you even mix diet coke with hydrocodone? Better watch out....
Is there anything ebay does not have??! And, yes, you've been missed!
ReplyDeleteOh my god. I can't believe they have those online....for sale. Imagine what surprises you neighbors would leave for you should you plant one of those in your front yard. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteWe vacation in the hills of Kentucky and on our way to town, there is a statue like this, 'cept he's fishing.....in the lawn. Em can't believe it when she sees him and says so....every single time we pass him. We call him Little Black Sambo...after the book....not out of disrespect. Can't imagine him here in Chicago!
eventer, I feel one of these lovely ornaments would be O-so-much better in your front yard. Sorry about the mental image, just replace with any male of your choice.
ReplyDeleteHolleyGarden, ebay is the collector of wonder and awful things. Hey, everyone wants to share their vision and makes a little money. (and aw, thank you so much)
Lin, the fishing boy is fairly common here in North Carolina. I have seen a few watermelon boys but this is a first... even for me.
Ah, there's nothing quite like a bit of antiquated racism to spruce up the ole yard, eh? If anyone in Chicago had the cojones to display one of these in their yard, their house would probably be nothing but cinders by 3AM.
ReplyDeleteBeer Boys, it would take a bit of cojones in my neighborhood but get out on the backroads.... yeah I could see it.
ReplyDeleteBahahahhaha, looks like you're fetching your own Diet Cokes now, lifeshighway! Unless you can get the pool boy to don those wings.
ReplyDeleteblack friday. ahhhaaaaaaha.
ReplyDeleteThose are just beyond words! They are cute yet so funny. I can't imagine having those though. Nice post!
ReplyDeleteMissing new blog posts!!! Will you re-start in spring??
