After spending a hot afternoon on the back concrete slab of my house yesterday, I have decided to purchase an inflatable pool. Now, I know that your first impression of an inflatable pool is probably some backwoods hic family lounging in pea green water that has more bacteria content than actual water. I have usually held the view that if you can’t afford an in ground pool, you shouldn’t get a pool at all. Those big above ground pools are just so tacky and ugly. There is nothing that can bring down your property value and curb appeal than a nice mosquito breeding above ground pool in the backyard. (sorry to offend those readers who have an above ground pool, I know there are some nice ones, but about 99.99 percent of them are ugly and unkempt) is that a word? who knows, I’m too lazy to look it up. But, I am proposing a much smaller pool, the kind that be bought for about $30 at your local Wal-Mart. There’s nothing like lounging in a pool that is barely big enough for you to fit in and is designed for use by urine producing kiddies. I realize that the experience may not quite measure up to chillin in Tampa, Destin, Pensacola, or Tallahassee, but I think with a little Mountain Dew at the side, I can manage to achieve a modest level of chillitivity. And if I buy that pool, hotties like the one in the picture will flock to the house just to have the opportunity to partake in my pool experience. Who says money can’t buy you love? Definitely not Wal-Mart.
