Yesterday, in between bouts of sobbing and melodramatic whatta wurld-ing, I took M to her six month check up at the dentist.
Some days you don’t think your life could get any more awesome and then, SHAZAM!, it just does.
Anyway, while sitting in the dentist’s office waiting room trying to studiously block out the agonized shrieking emanating from the exam rooms nearby, I noticed this sitting on a table:
That there’s a magazine called Garden & Gun, people. Apparently it’s some kind of Southern Living-type dealy-o, but the publication’s title struck me as filled with all sorts of hilarious creative-tweaking possibilities. Garden & Gun: Because you like to nurture living things AND slaughter them (Which isn’t even all that funny — I’m having a hard time with the funny these days, my apologies — but you get the idea.)
So simply for the sake of pure unadulterated levity, I ask you: what would be some other great tag-lines or issue subtitles for Garden & Gun? Or howsabout some article titles? What would be some content — columns, features, how-tos, whatever — you’d like to see in our imaginary version of Garden & Gun?
C’mon, play along! Humor me!
ETA: STOP THE PRESSES! There will be a PRIZE for funniest Garden & Gun submission! And it’ll be something good! TBA, but GOOD! Also, I’m easily amused these days, so it doesn’t take much to be considered "funniest" in my eyes, believe me. So it’s worth a shot, right? DO IT DO IT DO IT!
ETA DEUX: Okay, I have now secured spectacularly massive giveawayage. Are you ready? Can you handle this? ARE YOU SURE?
Funniest Garden & Gun submission wins the following:
1 Nintendo DS Lite (now in fabulous metallic silver)
1 copy of Brain Age 2 for the DS
1 copy of My Weight Loss Coach for the DS
1 copy of Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir for the DSPLUS! The nice folks at Dove are contributing a gift bag filled with Dove products and two tickets to the film The Women. Woohoo!
I’ll keep comments open for one week — until next Wednesday, October 1st — and then post a winner.
BRING ON THE FUNNEH, PEOPLE!
