Home Decorating for Young Couples

On Thursday I tried to put out two of my knick-knacks in our new apartment. The two pieces (which I am pretty sure are a set) were a Ricky Jackson action figure, and a Jack-a-lope bank. (A jackalope is the product of a jackrabbit and an antelope having sex. It looks like a jackrabbit with horns). Here is a picture.

Also, here is a painting of Ricky Jackson

These two additions to our dining room lasted until Saturday, when my wifeypoo took them down, and hid them from me. Now she wont tell me where they are, and I’m pretty sure that’s why the Saints lost yesterday. How can they be expected to win when my personal totem is in a drawer or box or something?

Also I was watching a hunting show on Sunday morning and they killed a bunch of deer, which I assume has something to do with the missing Jackalope. Darn it.

Please help convince my wife that these two items have a significant value in the overall consmos, as well as tying our dining room together. My other option is to take back all her birthday presents.

  1. I think you are right. I also think you are very handsome. Chelsey should let you do whatever you want. Maybe you should come over to Johnny’s house. We can drink some fancy beer, and build a deck or clean out some gutters. If you know what I mean. Your the Coolest!

  2. I have the same problem with my matching Rickey Jackson action figure. Leslie keeps taking him off the mantle. Luckily it is almost time for the Nativity scene to come out. We lost one of the three wise men, so Rickey gets to fill in.

    By the way, Leslie, you asked me what I wanted for Xmas this year. That Rickey Jackson painting will do nicely. Thank you.

  3. Also, I actually used the line “Kent’s wife let’s him put his up.” I felt like I was 10.

  4. that jackolope is hideous. it will never go up in our apt. I am not sorry and you all can hate me but i know there is someone out there who agrees with me and not mr. whiney pants.

  5. I don’t have a problem with rickey being a key part of the nativity scene… we compromised and brent will keep the jackolope at work.

  6. I think I would have to draw the line at the jackolope as well. Ugly I can handle, creepy – not so much.

    And no, we cannot have Rickey Jackson on the wall. End of story.

  7. Why don’t you build a shed to keep all your crap in like Johnny Cash, just don’t hang pictures of June Carter in there. Hail the lady of the house!
