They Don’t Call Him Governor Goodhair For Nothin’, You Know

Sometimes Ebay is the most entertaining place on the planet.

Want a six foot tall Rick Perry head?  Only $4,500.  Would I kid you?

According to Ebay (and I’m putting all this here because they will eventually take it down.) —

Rick Perry has a hole in his head.  Lots of them, in fact.   For sale is a 6′ terra cotta flower planter in an extraordinary likeness of Rick’s head.  The outline of his hair is surprisingly accurate, with holes throughout to grow lush grass, flowing ivy or flowering plants.  Prayer plants might be appropriate.

The bust was initially used by Dairy Waste Management (www.cowwow.com), a company which manufactures COW WOW, a liquid fertilizer made from dairy cow manure without the manure odor.  Last year they commissioned busts of Perry and Bill White, former mayor of Houston and Perry’s opponent in the 2010 gubernatorial election.  The “hair” of each candidate was ivy nourished by Cow Wow, and voters were asked to vote for their favorite hair (www.votecowwow.com).  Nobody had to split hairs in that race – Bill White won by a landslide.  Ivy can certainly level a playing scalp.

At last year’s ACL Music Festival in Austin, Rick’s larger-than-life head entertained thousands of concert-goers who kissed his cheeks, picked his nose, inspected his ears and tickled his ivy.

The shrewd buyer of this iconic planter can plop it in the front yard, proud to show a growing support for the presidential candidate.  Or head ‘em up, move ‘em out and circle the Capitol with Rick and his colorful locks in the back of a pickup.

Hmmm, Rick stated at a Tea Party debate that he would be offended if somebody thought he could be bought for $5,000.  He obviously hasn’t evaluated his worth as a gigantic planter.  You can secure this bad boy for only $4,500.

This one-of-a-kind marvel can be picked up in Blanco, Texas.  Bill White’s head is also for sale, if anybody is interested.

Plants are not included.  A gallon of Cow Wow is.

There ya got it.  Right there is Rick Perry:   manure without the manure odor.  Pretty much says it all.

Thanks to Debbie for the heads-up.
