Whoah! I wonder where this was marketed. I was under the (clearly mistaken) impression that homecoming mums were a Texas thing. I've never seen them anywhere else, though.

Heh, I moved to TX from IN, and the first thing I thought of when I saw the mums was TX homecoming season.

Interestingly enough, I moved from TX to IN. :) No mums here. Made me a little sad. According to wikipedia, it is, in fact, a Texas/Southwestern thing. A very gaudy Texas/Southwestern thing.

I didn't know corsages were supposed to be the size of your freakin' head.

That was a mum? I thought it was a dust mop.

Apparently, Stan was so eager to see Janice wearing the Worlds Biggest Homecoming Mum that he ran outside dressed in his flannel bath robe and a cravat.
