Bad Baby Ent!  Mailboxes Aren’t Food

I just love There I Fixed It and I never thought to look for mailboxes on it.

So thanks to Costas Schuler of  Art Car Central: http://www.artcar.blogspot.com, The Pen Guy:http://www.pen-guy.blogspot.com and Envisionary Design: http://envisionary-design.blogspot.com/ for pointing out some of the funny mailboxes there.

This was my favorite:

There, I Fixed It Mailboxes

Spotted this one in central Florida on the way home from the Buffett concert in Tampa.

I feel like there’s some sort of inside joke I’m missing because I can’t quite figure out what an oven and a dump truck have to do with one another.

This is currently on page 2 of failblog and I think it deserves our vote

Lani Diane Rich's Ugly Mailbox

I’m not sure if it’s the ugliest in America, because I’ve seen my fair share, but Lani Diane Rich wants to toss her hat into the competition.  You didn’t know there was a contest did  you?

For all of us that have wondered, “What were they thinking?” you can read the story behind this one on her blog.  While you’re there stick around and read more of her entries,  she’s a great writer with a wonderful sense of humor.

And, you know… yeah. It’s really, really ugly. But the plow guys will SEE IT. And right now, that’s really all I care about. So… yay me!

I also like that she has two first names. It reminds me of the “Two First Names” SNL skit with Neil Patrick Harris that aired on the 10th. I can’t find a clip of it anywhere but it’s about a celebrity talk show for stars with, you guessed it, two first names. Neil Patrick Harris is the host and the “band” includes Jamie Lynn Spears and David Lee Roth. His guests are Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Clark Duncan, Billy Bob Thornton, Tommy Lee Jones, Julia Louis Dreyfus and Daniel “Dave” Lewis. When Daniel corrects Harris and tell him it’s “Day-Lewis”, Harris tells him to “get the hell out of there with your one first name only.” Good stuff.

Bob, who brought us the Clothesline Mailbox has found another gem to share with us from a recent drive through Overlook Mountain in Woodstock, NY.

Thanks Bob and Happy New Year to you.

Kathy from the Junk Drawer follows up her floral “beauty”:

This one was found in Bethlehem Township, PA. This house was a total dump. They had all manner of garbage in the front yard, arranged in a way I think they thought was “artsy.” There was also a deer head mounted on the front porch (sending that picture as well). I hurried to take these pictures, since I wasn’t sure when or whether the owner would come outside with a rifle and shoo (or shoot) me away.

What I do for Ugly Mailbox.com.

I do appreciate your efforts for my blogging pleasure! This is a great find.

Kathy from the The Junk Drawer describes this one perfectly:

This mailbox was found in Easton, Pennsylvania. The flowers are, of course, artificial. It reminds me of what happens to a bride-to-be at her shower, where her guests make her wear all the gift bows attached to a paper plate on her head.

Barbara S. from My West Sacramento Photo of the Day sent in a picture featured on her blog last week.

These rows of mailboxes are fairly common in rural areas but what struck me about this picture is second redheaded stepchild of a mailbox. Not only is it completely rust covered, but it seems to have a “Hello My Name Is” sticker on it rather than vinyl numbers. It’s as if whoever owns it has said f’ keeping up with the Joneses.
