Sassistas! Our dish on the social soup.

Iceland

Yesterday, after the Big Dig at Matissta's house, she said:  "You have to come upstairs and look at something.  I've never seen anything like it." She opened the curtains on the window at the landing at the top of her stairs and revealed these images.

I have icicles at my house, but not like these.  They are breathtaking, and I love how we weren't thinking about the snow or the impending new storm when we looked at them.

Anyhoo -- I think they deserve a caption, don't you?  Or at last a clever theory of why they have appeared on Matissta's house.  We didn't see them on any other house in her court, and when I walked home, I didn't see them on any other house I passed.

So what's the story?  Why Iceland at Matissta's?

Milo

This is Milo, the guardian of O'Hurley's General Store in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.

Every time the Sassistas! visit the store, Milo is sitting near the front door in this chair.

What's he thinking?

Split Decision

The Sassistas! are either really dumb or really smart.  We're goin' with smart, mainly because the sistas and mista who posted possible captions for Flann's bowling stance were ALL winners.  Following are the award winners:

• BEST "BOWLING FOR JESUS" TIE-IN:  PEACEsista for -- While Bowling for Jesus, no one told her that she didn't have to genuflect before throwing the ball.
• BEST PLAY ON WORDS:  On-A-Journey-Sista for -- Flann froze in fear as she approached the foul line. The audience was silenced. You could hear a pin drop.
• BEST USE OF NARRATIVE:  half-a-sista for -- The sacrificial virgin approached as close to the bowling god as she could. She squatted to offer the holy bowling ball to him before she ran down the lane and into his yawning mouth.
• BEST FASHION STATEMENT: frida for -- This season, the new flat shoes allow a woman to be herself.
• WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS AWARD:  Chrysosista for -- Clearly, the Caber-tossing team was having a hard time understanding the finer points of bowling....
• MOST X-CEPTIONAL CAPTION: Jerseysista for -- Bowling for Jesus: Where x-tians really score.
• MOST OUTRAGEOUS CAPTIONS -- babysis
• MOST SEXUALLY OUTRAGEOUS CAPTION -- Carolyn

Because the Sassistas! cannot choose among the wonderful captions submitted by our beloved sistas and mista, we are awarding $25 gift certificates to each of you, with the exception of Jerseysista . . . if we can find a whisk you don't already have, it's on its way!

Today, we plan to email you each a $25 Amazon gift certificate.  Please do us ONE more teensy-weensy favor.  So we can keep our numbers up, please post your acceptance speech here.  If you don't get it right the first time, do it again.  Or pretend you're some famous person (or several famous people) accepting this prestigious Sassistas! PICTURE CAPTION award. Or let us know what you plan to purchase with your gift certificate . . . and why.

Thanks and love to all.  May the Bowling God give you much time to spare (at Sassistas!).

A couple of days ago, babysis sassgested that
this image of Flannista's modified bowling swing
would serve as wonderful inspiration for a Picture Caption contest!
