A Piece of WBKR History Found at Goodwill [Photo]

Okay.  "History" is a strong word.  But I was at Goodwill Wednesday evening shopping for an outfit for Zombie Zumba.  I was raiding the racks trying to find the perfect t-shirt to bloody up and to look "dead" in.  That's when I found a little piece of WBKR fashion at a drastically discounted price.

Here's what I went to Goodwill to get . . .

That's right!  Check it out.  That's what Benefield is gonna roll up into Zombie Zumba in.  Mark it, by the way!  Friday, September 26th at The Hines Center in Philpot.  And, yes.  I will be wearing a t-shirt that says "Seasons Beatings."  LOL!

But here's what I found at Goodwill that made me absolutely howl!

Now, excuse me!!  I want to know, right now, the name of the person who dumped their WBKR "Ugly Christmas Sweater" t-shirt off at the Goodwill.  What happened?  Did you wear this shopping on Black Friday and NOT win one of our Gaylord Opryland Resort trips?  Gosh, talk about sour grapes!  Did you dislike this shirt so much that you hurled it  into the donation dumpster behind Goodwill Industries, where its price was slashed like a camp kid at Crystal Lake on Friday the 13th?

Oh, wait!  That's even worse.  We gave these shirts out for FREE!  And now to own it, someone's going to have to pay $1.50 for it!

And, Goodwill.  I personally wish you no ill will (because you know I love you and a good bargain), but couldn't you have the decency to showcase this lovely Terry's Tees holiday creation in the "boutique" section?  Did you have to throw it on the rack of $1.50 wear?  Really?  I mean, seriously?? I know you guys listen to us at work.  Why didn't you put the shirt on one of the headless mannequins in the window? This is a show piece, People!  This is straight off Project Runway.  Don't you have a mannequin that looks like Heidi Klum and speaks German?

Oh, well.  What can one do?  I did give the staff grief.  I did shame them for their lack of respect and their rather pedestrian merchandising skills.  Then I paid for my Zombie Zumba gear: workout pants, a Muppet t-shirt, hideous suede vest and Mickey Mouse tie.  All for the low price of $6.00!  And I went home, comforted by the fact that a WBKR fan will eventually stroll into Goodwill and buy that shirt.  And they're gonna love it.  Yes.  They'll pay $1.50 for it and leave convinced they found a bargain.   That's right.  They'll have found their favorite radio station priced to move on a clearance rack.

(Insert sigh sound effect) My heart is full.
