Nope, not too much text with this post either. Mostly I’ll let the crate labels for these well known blog brands speak for themselves…
1.The fabulous (and peripatetic) Minnesota Observer. She is the genuine article. Accept no substitutes!
2. Actually I call him “Disco Stoo“, but that’ll have to wait for another day and another crate label.
3. The divine Ollie Ox blogs at A Bluestem Prairie, so of course there’s more than a touch of Prairie School in the artwork.
4. Drawn from life, Spot of The Cucking Stool is pictured alongside an actual cucking stool.
5. From Mercury Rising it’s Phoenix Woman, one very hot number…
6. T. Hussein, purveyor of fine 100% organic Mississippi delta hedgeballs.
7. And last but not least, MDE finally gets a label that correctly identifies the product Michael Brodkorb is selling.

There are a few more in the works that might get posted here, depending on how this first batch goes over. Assuming there’s no hue and cry, angry mobs with pitchforks, or drive-by eggings of Tildebunkport, watch for crate labels for The Power Liberal, Across the Great Divide, Shot In the Dark, and others TBN later.

Oh, please do! I actually come from peach crate country and once built a coffee table out of pear crates. I would be honored.

So beautiful! Will T. Hussein’s plate of Osage oranges to keep the pests away? I thought that’s what the marvelous potty mouth was for.

Not only do I have big balls, but apparently I have a spare tucked away somewhere. (Who am I to argue with a battle axe?)

Charlie: I have 3 lug boxes (those smaller crates that usually hold grapes or peaches) which all have the identical label: Mountain Lion Colorado Peaches — a picture of a mountain lion carefully holding a peach in his open mouth. Really silly imagery, but it does its job: you WILL remember Mountain Lion Peaches brand!
I wish I could find an electronic version of it, but so far no luck. That one probably wouldn’t work anyway, but I’ll still try to use a Colorado brand for the ATGD label.

Re: Charlie’s crate, you sure you don’t have anything of a mountain goat on a bicycle?

“Discordian Stooge” must have damned near drawn itself. Perfection!

PW: Speaking of a label drawing itself, just wait til you see the Disco Stoo version.
