Crisp and Fresh

K.C.
Battle Creek, Michigan

Dear Decorators, Design Stars of Tomorrow and current Reality Stars et al.:

Recently we have noticed a trend that is creating a chasm in our current working relationship.  We have worked together for over 80 years with no major arguments, but as one of us has recently achieved super star status (thanks to being mentioned often) we feel a rift is is on the horizon.

Case in point:

A POP of color for fun.
I'll POP for that.
Makes a room really POP.

Really?  That's the first and only word that comes to mind?

We request a change to correct this oversight and stem any possibility of the disbanding of our trio.  At this time, we are prepared to provide two good reasons for a change in wording...beyond the obvious one of Pop being overtly prosaic.

1.  We are the Grape Nuts of decorating...guaranteed to move your business with minimal strain and maximum results.


2.  We're beginning to feel neglected, ignored and under appreciated...much like a couple of redheaded step-kids.

We respectfully submit our work request for your consideration.  Until that end, we quietly await your approval with our promise to start talking...just as soon as the milk of your kindness pours over us.

Sincerely,

Snap and Crackle

OH my gosh, you should have seen me 'snap' to attention when I saw Battle Creek at the top of your post... I thought you were coming to MI. to see me! I've been working in the yard today so now I'm feeling like I might have popped something but when I sit down I only hear a crackle from my joints! Happy Sunday to you! t.xoxo

My joints are always krackling too.
Let's see...A snap of color can really make a room krackle...maybe not. Oh snap, that bolt of lightening really krackled my split ends.
Nah. I guess pop will just have to stay king.
LYttH, Pam

Girl! I don't know what to say! I am beginning to think you are really in a metal institution and your Doctor has you create these stories for some kind of therapy! I'm guessing you get to leave the hospital 2 times a year and that's when you come to Zapp Hall! Let me know for sure (IF) I have really figured out what is going on!
