Win Your Own Durtbagz!

I've got a warped sense of humor. But they say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

So there's no shame in shouting it from the rooftops. Or carrying it over my shoulder in bag form. Which is why Durtbagz fits me to a T. The bags (and more recently t-shirts) sport your standard street sign redrawn to crack you up along with a pile of signs created purely out of thin air . . . to crack you up. Creator Erin jokes Durtbagz are one part beer plus two parts time on our hands.

That she'd plaster a giant yellow diamond on a comfortable and genorously-sized bag is part of the hilarity. Slung over the shoulder, Durtbagz are right out there on your body, with a sign saying laugh and the world laughs at me, er, with me. They're a much-needed laugh where you can stow your stuff.

My pick was the pyramid of stick figure cheerleaders, with one falling from grace. Stolen by my friend Jennifer (yes, they're that cool, and yes, I'm just that good a friend!), I had to go back to the site to shop for more. I found one more appropriate for motherhood: Baby is Bored (a take-off on "Baby On Board" in case you didn't catch it). And a Mullet Crossing bag I know would make me a marked woman in this here part of the country (but hey, you have to die laughing, right?).

Think you can do Durtbagz one better? Good, because we've got one bag up for grabs, and Inside Out readers can play a role in the next sign to appear on a bag near you. We've all seen the "Men Working" signs. What would a "Men Working" sign on a Durtbag look like? Leave it in comments, and you'll be entered to win your bag!

For extra entries, grab my badge and/or blog about this contest, then leave the link in comments. The contest will run until next Wednesday, October 22 and is open to U.S. and Canada residents only. Be sure to check back to see who won or subscribe to be the first to know!

Around my house, a 'men working' sign would be a man sitting on the couch drinking a soda/beer can!!
Thanks!

'MEN WORKING' say what you want to say, they won't hear you anyway!

Candice said...

This kind of reminds me of the ever-hilarious street signs that say, "SLOW CHILDREN AT PLAY"
Haha!

How about "Men Working", 2 stick men on a ladder painting the letters, with only 1/2 of the "n" and no "g".

Playing video games, golfing, trying to assemble a child's toy with things obviously going horribly wrong, happily mowing and obliviously chopping up all his wife's flowers, 'coaching' his favorite football team on TV.

(okay, now I'm starting to feel mean -- I really do love my husband!)

I imagine the bag with a dad on the couch, remote in hand, while a few kids run circle around the roon, tumble over the couch, etc. BTW... love the YMCA bag!!!

Jennifer said...

It's construction workers that are actually ogling the women that are walking by.

Great blog, Jeanne! My "Men Working" sign is in my backyard -- stolen from a Mexican hotel: "Cuidado! Hombres Trabahando!" You could put a bottle of Dos Equis beer on it....
or the guy leaning on the cactus with the sombrero.

Keep up the great work!

Disclaimer

I realized I had to add one of these because people let their minds run away with them sometimes. Wait, where was I?

The reviews I put up on this site are NOT paid for by any company. They come from my little ol' head. Some of the products I found myself - on the 'net, at the store, or from other moms. Some were sent my way by publicists. Usually they didn't fit the mold of another project I was working on, but I thought they were so cool I couldn't help sharing!

As for what happens to the products I didn't care for - you'll never know! Because I won't write about them on here. So if you see it, I liked it. 'Nuff said!
