We get it now!

The USA is notorious for many things, including an intense love for hotdogs, the Fast & Furious film series, and our uncanny talent of "not giving a shit about the World Cup."  It's an insane skill, and a rare one.  For a brief moment earlier this week we failed at this thing we're suppose to be so good at. We failed by winning. Do you know how good it feels to win? It feels this good:    We won we won we won! More importantly... we cared! Keep it up, boys!   (Video stolen from the Wilmington Hammerheads! Photo stolen from GeeGaryGreg! Dignity stolen from Ghana!)

Belle of the Baller!

If you live in Southeastern North Carolina, you know what type of fragrant mess Wilmington just hosted. Everyone else, listen up: We have azaleas. It's a flower. We have tons and tons of azaleas. We have so many azaleas that in 1948 we decided to have an azalea celebration. It's called the Azalea Festival. Unsurprisingly, it's a festival. Of azaleas. And teenage girls dressed up all-fancy-like. And funnel cakes. And alligator meat on a stick. And garden parties. With azaleas. Tons of azaleas.

Careful What You Wish For

We encourage customers to leave "special instructions" with their retail orders.  Not only does it add humor to the morning,  but it gives us a chance to make you feel like the beautiful and unique snowflake your mom always promised you were.  Last week we received this "special instruction" from a mysterious consumer:  "Please draw a penis of some sort with a mustache on the letter.   I would also like an autographed picture of the stachemaster Adam Keen taking a shot of pertplus from a glass harmonica." This was the result.

The Spatula of Destiny

Cramworks. Cramworks, man.  So there's this guy who makes our displays. His name is Carson. Carson Cram. He operates through his company Cramworks and primarily makes theatrical sets. Cramworks is a local gig. Cramworks doesn't have a website. Cramworks is just a guy, like anyone else. Cramworks just demolished any sense of achievement that we once had.
