Countdown: Six Days (80s to the Max)



Landed in Indiana yesterday and now need to do the last-minute planning. Hobby Lobby was closed on Sunday because their staff needs to spend time with their family and worship, according to the sign in the window. Next option, the heathens at Party Supplies Plus.

Our eyes wandered away from the wedding section and over to the costumes...


A $12 hairstyle for me...



A new look for Luke. Because unlike the Jheri curl, "The Wet Look" is for people of all races.



It's a pimp-on-a-stick. Why settle for an ordinary cane when you can have this "Pimp Stick", featuring an actual statue on the end of a plastic wand. One thing, your pimp looks like George Clinton. Funkadelic!



Be an Old School Rapper. You know old school rap, right? Founded by the Verizon Guy. It's too bad he gave up the chain and cardboard hat, but at least he kept the glasses.



This Jack Bauer costume seems normal at first, but if you zoom in on the image you start wondering which episode features him with bullet wounds to the FACE.


I don't know how any of this will be handy in the wedding, but according to the comedians at my bridal shower roast, it is likely that all of these will get used on the honeymoon. 80s to the MaXX!

Is the guy in that first picture Charles Barkley?

Jack Bauer costume (paranoid neoconservative ideology not included)

Love the Verizon Guy Rapper Kit.

And since Michael is not really that black anymore they had to change it from Jheri Curl to 'Wet Look'.

Still, if you had that on I'd have to keep you away from my good couch, or put plastic on it. I survived the 80's and getting splashed in the eye by 'Soul Glow' type products, they do indeed burn.....

So close! Clearly they are heathens, partying isn't just their hobby like the good Christians at the lobby.

Good luck and when in doubt, say you love Hoosier basketball and the Brickyard!
