I used to like The Pioneer Woman. I read her blog a lot and finally I realized that it's actually kind of lame. In fact, I discovered a blog called thepioneerwomansux or something like that. There are actually several blogs out there that exist solely to make fun of The Pioneer Woman. She is a really rich lady who pretends to be all country and cool at the same time. I don't know why, but that rubs me the wrong way, so now I don't read PW anymore.
Then I got to thinking about it (I can't sleep and I've watched all of my DVR shows)....anyway, I started thinking about how my life is kind of a really low-budget/rednecky version of the Pioneer Woman.
PW: Marlboro Man (wears chaps, cowboy hat & goatee)
Me: Superfrydad (wears jean shorts, baseball hat & goatee)
PW: Lives on a ranch in OK
Me: Live on 3 acres in WV
PW: Has lots of cattle and horses
Me: Have 5 cows, a bull and 3 goats
PW: Former ballerina
Me: Former marching band color guard member (also known as "flags")
PW: Published cookbook author
Me: Unpublished box macaroni and cheese maker
PW: Complains about her weight all the time/probably is a size 6 or 8 after 4 kids
Me: Complain about my weight all the time/was an 8 before I bore children, now I am not.
PW: Wears expensive clothing and thinks a shirt for $70 is a good buy
Me: Wear inexpensive clothing and think that a shirt for $70 better have $50 in the pocket
Maybe I should rename Ketchup With The Frys. I could call it thepoorandfatpioneerwoman or something catchy like that. I'll think about it.

I need a tagline
KWTF (Ketchup with the Frys) is a simple blog, with no frills. But lately I've been thinking maybe I need a tagline. I just can't think of a good one right now.
Here's what I've got so far:
Ketchup with the Frys
ketchup/catch up with the Fry family....get it?
Ketchup with the Frys
not a food blog, but it does make me want to go to McDonald's
Ketchup with the Frys
because saying Musturd with the Frys makes you say the word turd
That's about it. I can't really think of anything else.
The turd one makes me laugh, but having a poop reference in your tagline is probably not one of the best ways to garner readership.
If you have a suggestion, leave it in the comments.
If it's not a very good suggestion, keep it to yourself.
Well, go ahead and post it because it makes me happy to get a comment every now and then.
If you don't have a suggestion, why are you reading this blog? Clearly, the readers here at KWTF are clever, witty and creative. If you are none of these, I suggest you find another blog to read. Like Pioneer Woman. Every other post there is a picture of her bassett hound. No brain required.

pioneer woman
I like the Pioneer Woman. I really do.
Her blog is one that I read often and I like to think that she is a genuinely funny and nice person.
But as with all things, I can always find something to pick at, even if it's something I like.
So here goes:
PW has too many pics of her dog's crotch on there. It's just uncomfortable after a while.
The ratio of animal pics (dog/cattle/horse/cat) vs. people pics is skewed. In my world, animals should not garner as much or more attention as people.
The Marlboro Man thing is kind of cute & funny until you realize she actually wrote a book about the way they met, etc. etc....which kind of makes me think PW sold out a long time ago.
She's too "city" to call herself Pioneer Woman. Anyone who can say that an eyeliner that costs $50 is awesome has clearly not assimilated into ranch life.
She constantly says she's fat, has alien hands, and makes fun of her past fashion choices. Clearly, she's not fat, her hands are fine and who hasn't made a bad fashion choice in the past? This gets on my nerves. You should have to have a permit to say you're fat because it's one of my biggest pet peeves when people who are not fat say they are fat....but I digress.
Anyway, since I only have 13 followers, none of which will be offended by my Pdub bashing, I felt I could let this out. If someone from the PW camp comes lurking around KFryville and finds something they don't like, well, that's just AWESOME because it means my tiny little blog got a hit from PW!
I mean, if someone doesn't like what I say, then they can go read the Pioneer Woman. Clearly she's doing something right. Even if it's mostly just creepy pictures of basset hounds and recipes for things that contain a lot of butter.

pseudo-ketchup
So, if you (and by you, I mean my family) want to Ketchup with the Frys, here's what's happening in our neck of the woods: (said in my Al Roker voice)
Not much.
And really. If you are my family, I hope you know what's going on without having to look at my blog. If you are my family and you are here to "ketchup", you are probably what I would call a mus"turd" family member because obviously you don't care enough about us to call or visit. Just kidding, that sounded totally mean and like it was directed to someone specific. It's not, I just wanted to make the mus"turd" joke.
I really did intend this to be a cute little family blog with nice pictures of us and cute little stories about superfrykid, and frydaddy and me (frymomma). However, I just don't feel like that at the moment.
PS-Why do bloggers feel the need to give their family members pseudo-names? Like Marlboro Man. It does kind of work for PDub and all, but for regular dorkoblogs like this one, is that really necessary? I'm not sure. Safety and privacy are of course top priority, but I have to say, if I was reading this and heard myself refer to me as frymomma, I might roll my eyes a little. In fact, I am kind of gagging now.
