This seemed like a good idea at the time
Thought I'd have a little fun with photoshop and create different scenarios that make you wonder if this was a good idea or not.

Scenario #15: Hook em Horns
So last week Texas played Arizona State. This girl at the office went to Texas. I told her Arizona State was going to win so she suggested we bet on it.
The loser has to wear the uniform of the other team and we have to watch the game together.
Well, the game went into double overtime and Texas won. That's when she informed me that I'd be wearing a cheerleaders uniform and not a football jersey.
On Game Day, I showed up at her apartment and she had two Texas Cheerleader Uniforms laid out on the bed. One for me and one for her. The next thing I knew, she was applying makeup to my face and styling my hair.
And the uniform fit perfectly. When I looked in the mirror, i couldn't believe my eyes. That's when she informed me we're going to a bar to watch the game with her boyfriend and his friends.
Here's a pic of the two of us before heading out to the bar. How do I get myself into these things?
What could go wrong, right?

Hook Head Lighthouse, Co.Wexford, Ireland.
Operational for 800 years; one of the oldest continually-operated lighthouses in the world.
Hook Lighthouse is a unique example of an almost intact medieval lighthouse. It dates from the early 13th century and was a major feat at the time of its construction.
Here's my 6-wide hook and ladder with set 6340 Hook & Ladder. Set 6340 is special to me because it ended my LEGO "dark ages" -- I bought it on a whim in a tiny toy store in DC, and putting it together was so much fun that it got me back into LEGO.

A spur of the moment trip to Hook Head, beautiful night, clear skies and mild, would not think it was October.

RAMBLER MARLIN - 263 [ CORGI ]
[...]
" The Marlin was added to the Corgi range in 1966 and remained in production until 1969.
The core range car was always red with a black roof and black detailing. However you will see it in metallic blue and white.
This car was part of a gift set, GS10, where it was given a roof rack with some Kayaks and a version of the Pennyburn Trailer as a camping trailer. Apart from this there are no listed variations."

Rambler Marlin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Rambler Marlin (later AMC Marlin) is a two-door fastback automobile produced in the United States by American Motors Corporation from 1965 to 1967.
A halo car for the company, it was marketed as a personal luxury car.
In 1965, the car was marketed as "Rambler Marlin". For 1966, the car featured "Marlin" identification only and was officially named "AMC Marlin", as was the 1967 model.
Its fastback roof design was previewed on the 1964 Rambler Tarpon show car, based on the compact Rambler American. 1965 and 1966 model year production Marlins were fastback versions of the mid-sized two-door hardtop Rambler Classic, and 1967 brought a major redesign in which the car was given the new, longer AMC Ambassador full-size chassis. This version had a longer hood and numerous improvements including more interior room and new V8 engines."

Had a traditional pair of shoes/slip-ons that I wore almost everyday while in India. And the soles were all worn out and falling off. So, went to the street side cobbler. Here he is using a straight hook awl (“a small pointed tool used for piercing holes, especially in leather.”)
Dancers from the Hook Eagle Morrismen from Hook in Hampshire, performing at the 2017 Wickham Festival. They are a Border morris team, dancing dances fromt he English border with Wales. The meaning of the blackface used by these dancers is obscure with theories suggesting that it may be derived from some association with Moors from north Africa (Moorish leading to Morris), or alternatively as a way to disguise the dancers
