Can't Stand Ya!

Maybe it was just a pre-2000's thing, but I always felt high school teachers came up with teasing names for some of their students.

I know I had one.

Mr. Angel who not only was my freshman football coach but he was also my gym teacher created the name Big Hoss relating me to a horse because of the way I "galloped" because of my height and size. So anytime he met me in the hallway or when I got into gym class I was always greeted with a "Big Hoss" whether I liked it or not.

I can't say if I did or didn't. I guess I must have meant something to him if I got a name I looked at it.

I assume with today's culture you can't create such names anymore.

When Nine Pockets blog, who creates some amazing customs, offered up a free custom to a reader, I chose to get a surprise Seinfeld one because why not.

When the card arrived last week the first thought that came to my mind was the Seinfeld episode The Library where George's gym teacher called/teased him "Can't Stand Ya!" using a play on words from his last name.

 

Even though this card image is from the episode The Understudy where George runs home and plows over Bette Midler. But the sports image is what made me think of that memory.

 

Back of the card. Go visit his blog and go buy yourself a custom!

Thanks again to Nine Pockets for another great mail day.

Did any of you have a high school gym teacher tease name? Let me know in comments even if it's embarrassing.

Have a great Friday!

Drumroll Please

Snow sums up how yesterday went. The weather reports told us possibly 1-3 inches total and didn't even have us in the "watch" section of the state for bigger amounts.

 

Well roughly 6-8 inches later, the roads were slick, schools were closed, and my wife hitched a ride to work.

It was a fun one cleaning off the cars, sidewalk and deck with the heavy wet white stuff.
 

Once again, the only great thing about snow other than having a white Christmas, is the scenery.

Drumroll please......

*takes a sip to soothe the throat*

With the weather being like this, it just furthers my holiday spirit for this time of year. If the snow comes down heavy after Christmas, that's a different feeling. One that can't be typed into words or you may have to hide the children from reading this blog.

With that being said, I recently had a custom card mailed to me for my Chevy Chase collection from @Clarkes1_1Cards.

Drumroll Please!!

 

This one fits perfectly in my Chevy Chase and National Lampoons Christmas Vacation collection. I tried to capture the shine of this card the best I could with my lightbox. But, it's much better looking in person.

I will have to set this up with the rest of my collection and maybe do a post on all of it at some point during my holiday card season.

*takes a sip, covers cough, takes a bite of bagel then another sip before finishing up today's post*

If you liked my custom card, @Clarkes1_1Cards does others as well for sports and non-sports or even ones for yourself. If you are interested, just contact him via Twitter or as you newbies call it, X.

Thanks again @Clarkes1_1Cards for the card!

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday. I am going to take a nap to feel better.
