christmas holy grail or pimp cup?

so chris and i had a fun night of shopping. the theme tonight was trucks and pimp cups. at michael's we took these 2 photos. holy grail or pimp cup?





after this we went target. this kind of reminds me of the scene in full metal jacket when matthew modine discusses human nature, or the duality of man.



could that truck be any bigger? this lady was laughing at us for taking a picture and she was like, i just want to write in the dust- overcompensating for my shortness!!! just for scale- chris is 6 feet tall- his head was just barely above the top of the truck bed.


so then we were shopping in target and lo and behold- another pimp cup!



what was funny about this is that we were whispering to each about the pimp cup and then these girls came up behind us were like, girl, that is a pimp cup!! we couldn't help it, we just busted out laughing. we told them that's what we just said and then we had a whole discussion about pimp cups.

so, two words i have never thought to put together and tonight i can't tell you how many times we said pimp cup.

i don't have a picture of the last truck because i got kind of shy. we went to fill our truck up with gas and this little beater truck pulled up next to us. this wasn't just any beater truck. it didn't have a bed- it had wood slats nailed on to make the bed. but on these slats were longhorns with a rose in its mouth. then on the front of the truck was a metal old school looking bevo welded on to the bumper. chris said something to the guy and he told us the whole story. he was taking art classes at ut the year we won the football national championship. his truck had been hit and the bed was all messed up. he really loves this truck so he talked to his art teacher about using it for a project. so, he put rose bowl longhorns on it. he said he got an "a". they guy was really funny and nice.

so this just goes to show, when you go holiday shopping, skip the weekend traffic, go a few hours after work, take a camera and a good sense of humor and the trip will be fun!
