You Can't Make This Stuff Up...

Alright, fess up!

Who else wallpapered an outhouse today?

*Crickets Chirping*

Thursday afternoon found me perusing the shelves of the discount rack at the local comic book store, The Deep, here in Huntsville.

I love The Deep. It's like being in another country. I know nothing about comic books but I have minions that are boys so I am quickly learning.

Hey! I watch The Guild. Isn't that enough? I'm even learning to play Risk. 

I still don't understand it, though, it's something about capturing Australia. 

It was crowded. There were thirty five people in the store and it's not a big store. 

It broke down like this:

Thirty two dudes and three chicks.

32 dudes and 3 chicks.

So...the odds are with you ladies.

I was there because I needed to find really cheap comic books. They have a bin in the back where all comics are twenty five cents a pop. 

What was I doing with these cheap comic books?

Well...

I mean...

We've got an outhouse at my Grandmother's farm in the country. 

The powers that be decided the campers no longer needed to use indoor plumbing for their most basic needs when they are close to the old house that's on the farm. 

Oh, don't feel bad for them. There are a million of them and the old house is constantly full of sleeping babies and the like. The kids really don't need to trounce in an out of there a hundred times a day. 

So we, and I use the term 'we' here loosely, decided the inside of the outhouse needed to be wallpapered.

So, I know every other day you find yourself saying:

"If only I knew how to wallpaper an outhouse!"

Well, no more excuses, now you can know.

First: Wipe off the ninety five years worth of dust...

Second: Tear comic book pages apart.

My boys called foul on this. They hated the idea of ruining perfectly good comic books.

Thing the third: Dip comic book pages in a watery glue solution.

Fifth: Slap those suckers on the wall.

This year the theme at camp is Swamp People.

The verse we chose from the Bible is Psalm 133:1.

Not totally sure how the two work together but I was psyched to find this page of the Swamp Thing.

I wasn't a big fan of these wasps. I was too lazy engrossed in my project to get the wasp spray so we just king of lived and let live.

It was a fun project.

I think the kids are going to like it.

"It rocks."
