Whoever loses takes their mailbox down:

Bah who am I kidding, we all know who it will really be:

I made the decision to buy hosting and switch to WordPress this weekend. There’s many reasons why, but I won’t bore you with details. I hope you’ll like the new site and by the end of the week I should have it looking better. If you have any suggestions for me about the design or content let me know.

My plan for finding great rural mailbox pictures while I was on my road trip didn’t work out. I was disappointed by the lack of amusing or ugly mailboxes. At one point I was wondering if the county I was in had standard issue posts and mailboxes because I kept seeing the same grey metal mailbox on a 4×4 post for miles. Boooooooring.

and Green Bay sucks. By default, this mailbox sucks.

My suggestion would be that you paint the post orange. Then paint the helmet black. Place a white circle, with a grey border in the center. Then place a yellow diamond within that circle at noon, a red diamond at 3 o’clock and a blue diamond at 6 o’clock.

When done it should look something like this.

If I’m being honest, this is actually as tastefully done as one can get when doing a football helmet mailbox. I’ve seen much worse.

Hey like this one:
