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.

If you’ve been following along you know that this is the last day in what the USPS has designated as “Mailbox Improvement Week”.  This doesn’t mean you can’t turn that ugly mailbox into a presentable one any time of the year, just keep in mind that duct tape is not the solution.
