You see some strange things when you get off the beaten path.

I had a job to do at the Town Hall of BFnowhere South Carolina (other wise known as Bowman, SC). This was a block and a half from Town Hall.

Makes you wonder what the guy was thinking when he decided to build it and how the town let him get away with it.

I was just going to say "At least they don't have HOAs."

Just as an FYI, this isn't in some guy's back yard. It's in the middle of a commercial lot in downtown Bowman. From the looks of it, it's been there a while.

Honestly, I thought Florida was the armpit of the south. Maybe it's Florida is the armpit of the country?

The Pelosi thing isn't a sneaked-in political comment..I actually vote Democratic. This is the only image I found that accurately expresses my feelings about HOAs.

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything. It would be running out of my nose, all over the computer, TV, living room floor and the wife and kids.

That was funny.

Oh, and bring it on Nancy.

That may be the armpit of the south, but Louisiana is the armpit of the world. I know, I've been around it 3 times.

Oh, and I'm with toyman on the HOA thing.

I had to pull over and take a pic when I passed it too. Hope you didn't miss the "bombs" or whatever they were next to it. That place is classic. For those that haven't yet made the pilgrimage to Bowman, this is on the main road through town. You can't miss it. :D

Oh, and bring on the tonsil hockey.

Thank God for SC, you mean. We don't have a "UFO Welcome Center" here.
