Melissa sent me this earlier today with the following note: “We could create something like that!”
Ahhhh…Sweet Melissa, no we could not. No. In fact, I couldn’t give you a bigger NO on this one, dearest.
Seriously. If George Clooney showed up allllll nekkid at my skeezy apartment wearing ONLY THIS FUGLY AS FUCK “THING”, I’d have to kick the living shit out him for having such horrid taste. See, my three readers, that speaks volumes because in my sass-n-bitchified opinion, the Cloonster is about as hot as a man can possibly be.
Look–here’s some proof of the above statement–
Enough of the handsome man diversion and back to WHY we don’t do crap. Where was I? Oh, right…here..yeah…right THERE…yeah..that’s it..ooohh…yessss… a little to the left … yeah, you hit it…
Yeah..you WISH.
You know why? Because we can’t, don’t and won’t create crap. I’m not into making crap like this because it goes against every fiber of my McCrabass being. I know, I know…considering some of the stuff I’ve created on this here blog, creating this type of crap would probably be a step up for me. Ha! Y’all are the apex of clever, my monosyllabic critics. Gag me with $500 worth of crap.
Of course, someone or someTHING needs to be blamed for this circle of wire, rope, prayers and crap: Insecure broads with too much cash and little to no taste, and the crafting industry and places the promote crafty-crap like Pinterest and Etsy.
Crafters of the world, I have a message for you: Cut it out. Yes, Stop making crafts.
Why?
Because you SUCK at it. You SUCK OUT LOUD at it. No one wants to see it, feel it, love it, ooh & aaah over it, or buy it. They’re just being nice to you because, once upon a time, you were some sort of high-falutin’ exec with an expense account who heard via some oracle like Oprah that it’s ok to follow your dreams.
So you quit your day job, went to Bali for “inspiration”, bought some stencils, a glue gun, oddly colored feathers, and some vintage cashmere sweaters and decided to repurpose your life. Then, your life went down the shitter quick because even your family of hamfatters couldn’t fake liking your craptacular creations anymore, demanded that you get over it and for the love of PETE, get your fucking job back! But nooo…you didn’t listen because you’re following your dreams! Now because of your dreams, your husband is schtupping his assistant AND for good measure, her husband too. Oh and your kids, god love ’em, have followed in your footsteps in a way ,and are cooking meth in the trunks of their cars for lunch money and to pay for things like Girl Scouts.
In other words, Anthropologie is a twat for selling this.
I think this is probably the funniest thing you’ve ever written, Jules. This line in particular is just so incredibly fantastic:
“So you quit your day job, went to Bali for “inspiration”, bought some stencils, a glue gun, oddly colored feathers, and some vintage cashmere sweaters and decided to repurpose your life.”
Laugh out loud funny! Oddly colored feathers!!!
Thanks Adam!
You should never put George Clooney in a blog post if you want me to read it all the way to the end! (Unless there is another Clooney there for me to look forward to…) hehe
I read once that all you have to do is put photos out there and even if the person doesn’t like it, over time it grows on them like well mold….
And yet, there are jackasses who are probably buying it.

At first I thought it was barbed wire with a silver charm attached. Now THAT’S something I might buy.
Awesomely said, and I know it’s not really cool to say “awesome” anymore. Or “cool” for that matter. I hate crafty. No one wants it. No one wants to buy it. And no one ever wants to receive it as a Christmas, Valentines, or birthday gift. (Mother’s Day can slide on this one.) As for kids “crafting” crystal meth in the car for lunch money? That’s hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.
that would be so wrong if George wore this..But I would just rip it off with my teeth and smack G around a little to straighten him out.. then get busy 🙂
Hamfatters? and craptacular– love LOVE this
Next, I suppose you’ll suggest that Dumbo’s magic feather was the spiritual mentor of Robert Mapplethorpe’s up-the-fundament whip handle.
Rawr!
LOL funny as usual. if i had an extra $500 i would pay a bill
Same here. Or buy some hi-quality porn.
“[H]amfatters” — good one Jules. I would never plunk down $500 much less $50 for this type of junk jewelry, but if someone I was into was wearing it, I’d probably compliment it hugely if I thought it might get me laid. Sorry to hear that if George was wearing one while naked and hard for you that it would be a deal breaker that would kill your lady-boner for him.
Knowing Geo, he’ll make it up to me somehow. He’s good that way. It’s how we make it work.
