Hoodoos are tall thin spires of rock that protrude from the bottom of arid basins and badlands. They are composed of soft sedimentary rock and are topped by a piece of harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects the column from the elements. They are mainly located in the desert in dry, hot areas.
From Wikipedia
Saturday night wifey and I are watching TV with my mom. The show cuts to a panoramic shot of a desert...
Supreme Leader: Liam and I watched a show about deserts this week, those things are called "hooters."
Me: Ya, we have them around where I grew... what did you say?
This weekend was a gold mine. GOLD. MINE.

Nah- she's just checking to see if you were listening! I am thinking of changing my name to Supreme Leader, or at least requiring my husband and kids to start addressing me as such!
ReplyDeleteWhat DID people do with that stuff before there were blogs?
ReplyDeletewhen the Goat was but a wee Lass, she refered to our Adirondack Chairs as, wait for it.......
ReplyDeleteErotic Chairs.
SIgh, when my husband was a wee Hispanic immigrant in the American schools in 6th grade, he referred to organisms as orgasms. To this day, he still can't say organism without a tear in his eye. Crappy school system..
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Liam's reaction to that was, you know, given who his father is.
ReplyDeleteFourth!
ReplyDeleteHey, we have those things here. They're beautiful and majestic. The wings are the best! (We're talking about Hooters still aren't we?)
A little tangent. I've been to the Hooters and I have to say, I just felt sorry for the girls. They had to wear those awful control top pantyhose coupled with the high wasted jogging shorts. That's not a good look for anyone.
Wait? I was sixth? WTF.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Bryce. Nice um, hootoors.
ReplyDeleteShe was baiting you to see if you would rise above or jump in the gutter, Which did you choose?
ReplyDeletehaha Yes, that's a hilarious tongue slip. I've never heard of the term HOODOOS before. Very cool. LOVE the hoodoos...they are so incredible looking! Nature's art.
ReplyDeleteTrue story: I actually saw The Hooters LIVE. It was twenty-two years ago at a college dance (that went wildly out of control), but it was one of the best nights of my life.
ReplyDeletei think supreme leader is a lot smarter than you think...she knows what she's saying. i think the word 'hooters' always makes a man's ears perk up lol
ReplyDeleteHooters, hoodoos, anyone could have made that mistake! Thank you for making the mistake so all of us could read about it Supreme Leader.
ReplyDeleteWell, they do kind of have a nipple looking thing at the top.
ReplyDeleteBut on the other hand, that's the kind of mistake that I would torment my husband with for years.
Use it for all it's worth.
Supreme Leader let out a 'harumph' when she read this today. I reminded her that 99% of you are on her side regardless of what I write.
ReplyDeleteI love your wife. She's such a trip. We all need to move to Utah and all get married to one another (your suggestion first, remember). Hey jenboglass, can you arrange this?
ReplyDeleteThem's some big hooters. A great view from your window if you can get it.
ReplyDeleteyour sis used to tell people I
ReplyDeletewas crotcheting...ah I hasten to
inform her it was crocheting.

HOOTERS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just had to come back and thank you for giving me my first laugh out loud moment of the day. Hooters! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Hooters.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a hoodoo, either, though. I'm sheltered.
HOOTERS!! Tee hee!! (Snort!)
ReplyDeleteWe have hoodoos around these parts too. They're not particularly pretty, but they are interesting to look at.
How the hell did I miss this post????? Hooters, damn.
