"Baby we were..."

Thanks to generations of well planned and meticulous animal husbandry, these little guys were literally Born to Run. A whole stable of Kentucky thoroughbreds gallop in unison across your side parts like a team of synchronized swimmers. Printed on a heather grey cotton/polyester/rayon tri-blend V-neck tee and available in unisex sizes XXS through XL.

Where's Kentu... oh, there it is.

We've got a new shirt that turns you into a walking, talking elementary school geography class. The only lesson this particular class ever teaches is about where Kentucky is on a map of the continental United States. It's an easy A, really.

It's printed on a soft 50/50 cotton polyester American Apparel tee and is available in unisex sizes (XS through 2XL). Get yours in the store -or- shop online!

Welcome to Ridley's House

Maybe it's too late to be a pre-pubescent child from the 1950s, but it's never too late to play games like one. Especially when Ridley's House of Novelties keeps churning out so many retro games and toys. WHY Louisville carries a whole line of kitchy novelties from Ridley's:

• Box of 5 Classic Jokes (includes joy buzzer, trick gum, whoopee cushion, and more!)


• Box of 5 Magic Tricks (includes Secret Taper Cards, Miracle Dice, Multiplying Balls, and more!)


• Compendium of Games (dominoes, jacks, pick-up sticks, yo-yo, and marbles)


• Flying Aeroplane Kit (rubber-band powered and ready to soar)


• Ping Pong Set (everything you need to get a game going: balls, paddles, net, and carrying case)


• Whoopee Cushion (self-inflating and particularly juvenile)


• Yo-Yo (included instructions teach tricks like the Eiffel Tower and Flying Trapeze)

Mugs o' Love from Rock Scissor Paper

Top o' the mornin', Louisville. The folks at Rock Paper Scissor just put some perk in your dreary winter wake-up call thanks to some some love-covered mugs. You wouldn't want a "World's Greatest Golfer" mug to be the vessel for your Valentine's breakfast-in-bed coffee come February 14, would you? Even if she is the world's greatest golfer? Why not give her a proverbial hug-'n'-kiss with the XO Mug? Look at how happy that "O" is! So happy to bring her coffee to her. Equally as happy are the little guys on that Happy Hearts Mug. They never suffer from the Winter Blues. Especially when you fill them with some freshly brewed coffee and pair them with some heart-shaped fried eggs. These mugs are a surefire way to get Valentine's Day started off on the right foot--and we all know that's the only way for Valentine's Day to end on the right foot. Right? Catch our drift?

Other mugs in the new Rock Paper Scissor line include the Bicycle Mug, Owls Mug, and Top Dog Mug. All Rock Scissor Paper mugs are $11.99 and measure 3 3/4" tall by 3" in diameter. Mug comes boxed and is dishwasher and microwave safe. Available now at WHY Louisville and on the WHY Louisville Web Store.
