The typical tourist butt, this butt is obviously from St. Louis or Chicago because of the cool shoulder bag hanging above it.

This is a tourist butt after my own heart. I like my tops a bit longer and so does she.
As you can see, there are Halloween decorations on the other side of her for sale. I hate seeing these at the summer festival. I do not want to think about Halloween in July!

The guy in the plaid spent some gas and covered some miles to get to our town's quaint Tom Sawyer celebration. When he pulled these wrinkled plaid shorts from his suitcase this morning, he said, "Screw it, so they'll just be wrinkled."

This is guy is ready for any emergency.

This woman was wearing a tiara with long stringlets, as you can see against her pants. When in Rome...

Wonder what she's got in that thing? Her kid? A small German Shepherd?

This should win some kind of weird award: A huge "Baby Bump" and a Tourist
Butt all combined in one picture.

That's it until next year, folks. Come to Hannibal's big 4th of July party and your butt could grace this page next year!

lynn - It's just something that has to be said. When you see the opportunities that abound...
Kate - I was wondering the same thing :) Believe me, if there'd been any, I'd have recorded them for posterity.
Phyllis - Come up next year and you can be pic #1.
Lance - Yes, all sorts of nefarious things go on at Tom Sawyer Days.

Laughing at your post and the comments.
lynn - I promise a six months warning. Last year I included my own butt just to be fair, but I didn't want to have to flag this for "graphic violence."
Doc - One thing they don't say about Twain but was true: He got the hell out of Hannibal as soon as he possibly could and came back only rarely after being begged.
Dreamy Chad - I've been "into butts" since I gave up cross-stitching.
sharon - I just think they are under appreciated, unless you happen to be JLo.
Stephanie - With friends I have a sort of loose "off limits" agreement. It wouldn't stand up in court, though.
Bobbi - You like the guy with the bottle, admit it.
Monica - I thought the woman with the baby bump pretty brave to get out in that crowd. That would be worse than trying to plow through all those people with a stroller. We were in the middle of this huge throng to watch the Tom and Becky crowning and some guy ran his hand all the way down my daughter's long red hair. She was totally creeped out.
(I couldn't afford to replace your camera after it broke trying to capture my butt...)
Strange things can be seen
Least of all, butts that are lean.
I was RIGHT THERE! I could have had my butt plastered all over Gather!
SNAP! to my misfortune.

Fun article, Vicky. I remember you doing this last year, but can't remember the pictures. You should include a link (if it's there and I missed it, ignore me - I looked twice).
I LOVED this Vicky. Thanks for the laughs...it should be required viewing for all members!
I featured your article in today's Community DateBook™
You should add a link to last year's edition!
Congrats on being featured in the Community Datebook, -- that is cool!
Hilarious, Vicky! And I also wish you'd put in a link to the first one... for us who missed it when it was posted!
I'm also reminded of the local news; anytime there's something about dieting or weight, they show footage of people's butts walking down the street or anything from the waist down. As long as you're not connecting them with faces, I think you're safe. ;)
Thanks for the chuckle.
