Folsom, California is one of those suburbs that seem to be made up of white, SUV-driving, stay-at-home, soccer moms. Rumor has it the city council tried to change the town’s name to Stepford. And when the editors at Stuff White People Like look for material, they infiltrate Folsom and take notes.
Now, Folsom isn’t racist or anything. They think everyone should have a black friend or two.
While cruising the outlet mall in Folsom today, shopping for shoes, I came across this:
It was the only pair in the store.

We close today with a few search terms recently used by wierdos to get to Nanny Goats In Panties:
where to buy contraband fireworks on the web no questions asked
i have goats in my pants
panties obama
i know a weeny man
weenie man music
can goats poop out cans
Oh, and just one more thing, as Columbo would say: Thank You to William over at Dead Rooster for adding NGIP to his blog roll.
[…] Margaret at Nanny Goats in Panties illustrates for her readership the general hazards of putting labels on anything, anytime, anywhere. […]
Haha…somewhere, someone at Naturalizer is being fired. Or having to take “sensitivity” classes before naming any more shoes. Loved it!
The author of the book “Stuff White People Like” was on KGO radio this morning in San Francisco…
The headlines alone… well worth the price of admission.
As a resident of Folsom I am highly offended….some of my best friends are black….ish.
Gosh..you suck.
🙂 Totally kidding. This is hilarious!
Am I allowed to laugh? That’s HI-larious.
wow…I’m still working on… can a goat poop out cans!? What a disturbing visual….ouch
I found a box of my stuff from when I was a kid. A Crayola crayon that I would have called “Dark Brown” was actually called “Negro”.
i’m seriously trying to figure out how someone came up with that name and was so clueless.
ROFL! I was going to ask if that black friend’s name was Token ala South Park, but I guess they’ve already used that one.
How does someone decide on a color name like that?
Way too funny.
Are you black?
If you are MOVE !!!!!
Who knew Naturalizer would be racist. Maybe Keds, but Naturalizer? *shock*
You’re welcome! I had to add Nanny Goats to the blogroll–it’s just too funny!
When I was a kid, my school bought milk from “Friendly Dairy.” The milk cartons they gave us were far too small to use full words like homogenized, so they abbreviated it and, on the side, in bold letters were the words, “Friendly Homo.”
Which, as you can imagine with a bunch of seventh-graders, was a riot.
OK, so who is going to own up to “i have goats in my pants”?
“panties obama” was how i got to your site…sorry about that. hahahaha
oh yes, I know Folsom quite well…
“can goats poop out cans?” WHAT???
Well, we know these shoes would be the first thing killed in a movie.
All of my shoes are black, so I guess I’m a progressive.
…and very, very dull…
You have nothing to be afraid off, unless you decide not to be funny anymore. This is between me and the Big Headed Jerk.
Pancakes make the world a better place, but waffles make it a Utopia.
Did you buy them?
Thanks for letting me know, Margaret – it really is quite a ‘feel at home’ landscape.
Ha, awesome. I was the token white guy in my last neighborHOOD.
Bee: Ha ha! Sorry for calling you a wierdo.
Jasper Mocks: Oh no! You’ve found me. I’m in deep doodoo now! *runs and hides behind a sapling*
::blushing::
“i know a weeny man”
That was me.
When we were in Australia for our honeymoon, we saw a sign in a window that said, “White Ladies Funeral Home.”
I am still scratching my head, wondering if that means what it seems to mean….
I have a picture somewhere on my computer, I should blog about it one day.
At least it wasn’t White Inter-loafer.
You thinking the humiliation game is fun? Would you want to be the victim of a personal attack?
I am very real, as is my anger.
But, I can laugh at your post.
brilliant!
this is a riot!!!
smiles, bee
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
omg – that’s too funny. And I love columbo!
