In my Facebook perusing, I ended up on my profile reading various wall posts. As I read a note from my dear friend Holly about setting up a lunch date I casually glanced to the left and my profile picture caught my eye. Changed a few days prior, the picture shows a friend and me standing on a street corner on an early summer evening. I may or may not be holding a sign that says “You Honk, We Drink!” just as I may or may not be slightly intoxicated (the afore mentioned theoretical sign might have been quite successful).
It really is a fabulous picture that accurately depicts the blissful debauchery of summer in Montana. What is not so fabulous is the fact that I am, obviously, standing in the cliché Hooters pose (please note the legs included for your consideration). Also not so fabulous is the fact that this picture has graced my profile for a number of days without me even realizing that my Hootersposeitis is on such glaring display. Hooters is so engrained into my body that I am oblivious to its devastatingly overbearing reach. It seems that Hooters truly has taken over my life and I will forever and always be a Hooters Girl.
P.S. If you didn’t make my legs look so good I’d be a lot angrier with you, Hooters pose. This must be a side effect of the disease.
Since we're on grammar, the subject of this sentence, "the picture shows a friend and I standing on a street corner" is picture, so it should be "a friend and me". You woldn't have said "the picture shows I standing on a street corner"

Thank you for pointing this out...I had it both ways but liked the sound of the way I put it better. I know it's not grammatically correct but sometimes you just gotta through caution to the wind :)
ReplyDeleteBut since it follows a post about grammar I'm gonna go ahead and change that... ;)
