Rugs as Gifts
OK, it's true, I'm tired and I'm sick.
I just had a Parent Night for NHS, and it took a lot out of me, though it went extremely well. Parents of high-achieving students can be a pain in the ass, if you know what I mean.
On the way home, we passed the corner rug merchant. Really, it's a vacant lot. During June it's a fireworks stand, during July it's a Hatch Roasted Chilis market, and so far this month it has been a rug merchant. Many of the rugs on this page are among the wares on display.
For the past three days there has been a sign near the sidewalk which reads FINAL DAY!!!!
I don't think it's true.
Every day when I go to work, his rug structures are still standing; every evening when I come home, there are rugs displayed on them.
So why, I wonder, is there the sign? Does the merchant believe the public won't remember seeing it yesterday? Is the merchant trying to drum up business because late August isn't a big rug gift giving season? What *IS* the best rug giving season?
"Happy 25th Anniversary, dear! This rug really expresses my love and devotion for you."
"Happy Birthday, Junior! Here's a rug to play on."
"GET WELL SOON!!!! Cuck Fancer, and enjoy the rug!"
"Mi Amore, this rug is a symbol of our passion. Happy Valentine's day."
"Merry Christmas! Rugs all around!"
"Congratulations on being named the Valedictorian of your class! Here's a commemorative rug!"
The occasions are simply mind boggling....
I'm feeling a bit Denis Leary-ish. I am so sick, I am wishing for little N, little Y, big fucking Q in the original green death flavor -- you know, the stuff that puts you into a coma until you're better.
