Wilson, the WeedMan? on Wordy Wednesday

Today's post probably won't work without a bit of back-story so today must be Wordy, not Wordless.

Several years back, we were in Myrtle Beach for St. Paddy's Day and went to watch the parade held every year. One of the floats had a man throwing green drink koozies and on them was written The Weed Man. Well, I was a child of the 70's, so this set me to giggling. Back in the day, if someone mentioned the "weed man", it might have had to do with "grass" but you weren't looking for lawn services. Ahem. So I of course found it very funny that this lawn services company had chosen a double-entendre for their name.

Fast forward to today, and this company has spread to my area and these little yellow signs started popping up in people's front yards......



Ever on the lookout for Wordless Wednesday themes, you just know I couldn't pass this one up! And if you enlarge that photo, you will see that Wilson is seated in a big patch of weeds! My yard needs the services of The Weed Man!

  4. If I had a weed that handsome, I wouldn't spray it with anything but liver treats. :)

    And now I hear John Belushi singing in my head, "I'm the weed man, da da da da da..."
