Kansas, as bigoted as you think

Some highlights from my trip to visit my brother and sister in Kansas:

1. Dancing a jig to "Bohemian Rhapsody (not Rap City as I used to think in my younger days, also known as yesterday)" because everyone head bangs

2. Cheap vintage clothing leads to an obsession with terry cloth shirts

3. The best vintage find since my casino sweater, a 40s era silk shirt with the name "Shirley" written all over it for $5. When I saw it I said "Well Shirley, looks like your coming home with me."

4. Another new obession, this time with the with the video game "Mappy." There is a reason why you have never heard of it.

5. Rusty's pleading to switch boxes for trivial pursuit, because we were "getting all the easy questions." He ended up winning anyway. Jerk.

6. Comedy of errors, less comedic, more errored, results in loss of CDs.

7. Not a highlight, but just a message to Red: I left a pair of shoes at your house, can you send them to me?

8. Another fantastic thrift store find...drumroll please... a teddy bear holding a heart shaped frame containing the picture of a long haired mulleted and huge Village People mustached man. I like to imagine his wife or girlfriend angrily donating the bear to the Salvation Army.
