I Love Vagina

Yes, I’ll say it – I love vagina. I love vagina as much as the next guy. But I’m not going to put a bumper sticker on my car telling people how much I love munching carpet.

So, as I understand it, I Love Vagina is some kind of clothing company that’s trying to make a fast buck through an anti-establishment, post-punk, muffin-lovin’ marketing campaign.

DollyWood

Nothing says Family Values like an over-the-hill broad addicted to plastic surgery and boob jobs – Dolly Parton. Dolly was Britney Spears before Britney was Britney.

But, you can get your hoe down in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. I can’t imagine ANYONE wanting to go DollyWood, yet throngs pack this place every summer.

Cooter’s Place in Gatlinburg

Gatlinburg, TN is a redneck wonderland. The rest of the world evolved and Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Tennessee area has slide back into the dark ages. This place has that unique balance of Evangelical Christianity and hard core binge drinking bars.

In a nod to that 1970’s TV classic Dukes of Hazard (not the crappy Jessica Simpson re-make), Gatlinburg’s main street features Cooter’s Place.

Get Your Bear On

In Cherokee, North Carolina, we encountered this sign or black bear country. Get your bear on!!! Now, most people I know will protect themselves and their property.

What might be more useful is if the bear on the sign looked a little more menacing. This looks like a teddy bear.

Niagara Falls

From sheer cliffs at the Cliffs of Mohr to the unstable cliffs in La Jolla, California and from the attack apes of Gibraltar to amazing tidal waves in France, I’m a big fan of warning signs.

This sign at Niagara Falls in Canada is one of those classic ones that will join the others – danger! Don’t jump the fence because there is a big damn fast moving river and a long drop. The fence is pretty low, so there’s not much to stop somebody from jumping the fence and going over in a barrel. Then again, what idiot would want to do that anyway.
