I don't know what's up with Hick's fascination with masks. This is the third or fourth one I've seen, and just this evening, when I said, "Why the mask?" he replied, "Oh, you haven't seen all of them I've got over in the BARn."
That's also two ducks (H: "Because I like ducks") and a beer glass shaped like a football. I argued on the beer glass.
"How do you KNOW it's a beer glass? I thought it was a vase. I don't see the football."
"Because it says BEER on the glass, and it's shaped like a football."
Hick is recycling the world's trash four pieces at a time, it seems. Bringing it home to display in his sheds in Shackytown, some already existing, and some just a glimmer in Hick's near-future-retired eye.
Small duck, $1.00. Large duck, $1.00. Beer glass, $1.00. Mask, $1.00.
Nightmare potential? Priceless.
Aren't you tempted to check out the treasures "you haven't seen" while he's away at work?
ReplyDeleteHe'll never know...
Oh, I don't know...let me think...that answer would probably be...NO!
DeleteIt's sort of shaped like a football...except for the pointy end thing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and that would be a NOT-HEAVEN of a lot of beer!
DeleteHick is a funny guy...Most men I've known do not like to go shopping at all, and especially any kind of "junking!" So, now that you're retired, are you writing up a storm??
ReplyDeleteHick's a funny guy all right. A funny guy without much of a sense of humor. My writing, sadly, is not at the storm stage. More like a 30% chance of light drizzle.
DeleteMust be an American football, ours are round. That is a seriously creepy mask, thank god Hick has a shed to keep it in!
ReplyDeleteYour beer is thicker, too. The mask might get its own shed once Hick retires. I will make sure that shed door is always locked from the outside.
DeleteI would love to go through Hick's treasures sometime!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to give clandestine (do-it-yourself) tours and pocket the admission fee.
DeleteOne of these days Hick is going to have the last laugh by coming home with a priceless treasure.
ReplyDeleteIF you don't run into him at the Goodwill Store and steal it right out from under him after talking down the price...
DeleteImagine how you'd have felt if he had wakened you from a nap while he was wearing that mask! But actually I like it and I'm a would-be mask collector, too, so I can't blame Hick.
ReplyDeleteGenius did that four or five years ago! I was asleep in my basement recliner, only the TV for light, and he came stomping down the stairs with one of Hick's masks over his face.
DeleteMaybe Hick can find a good used defibrillator.
Well, at least he organizes his junk and builds housing for them .....
ReplyDeleteIf he runs out of room for more sheds in Shackytown, I'll tell him he can store his treasures in your car!
