Austin, in his own defense:
In my defense, it was a Christmas-themed NASCAR blow up, very cute with snowmen pit crew members, AND I got it 55 percent off because it was the last one they had and it was Christmas Eve when I did my shopping.
My wonderful girlfriend Haley also got a bottle of perfume for Christmas, not to mention diamond earrings for the anniversary back in Oct.
And Merritt, when you talk about me on the blog, I prefer to be called “Ace Preston Hollow Reporter Austin Kilgore.” We need that consistency on the blog to make it easier for all my adoring fans to stay in the know on all things Kilgore.
And he wanted to make sure everyone had this visual:
Home Depot actually had a commercial where the husband, trying to find a present for his wife, was running a number of presents (skill saw, drill, etc) by one of the female sales associates. All of them were shot down by the sales associate and he eventually settled on a gift card. ijs
Good point, James. I think had Austin run his decision by a sales associate he would not be in this current situation.
Does Austin’s girlfriend live at the corner of Auburndale and Binkley? Because I was thinking of slashing the Nascar inflatable in front of that house. It’s killing our property values over on Shenandoah where, you know, all the houses are so tastefully decorated. Hardly an animatronic reindeer in sight.
