Flat Spatley Hits Ann Arbor

It was early morning and Flat Spatley with his close friend, Nyancat Scarf, was eager to be off to begin his adventure.  Spathead Dana was to meet spathead Jamie in Ann Arbor for a day of fun. 

   With the strangely appropriate starbucks cup keeping him nice and warm, Flat Spatley trolled the spatheads posts while he waited for Jamie.

Jamie arrived, and Dana and Jamie entertained Nyancat and Flat Spatley with mesmerizing chit-chat.  As we know, all the spats are eloquent as well as attractive.  It's like every word the spoke was breathed from the sweet lips of an angel ;)

 They took really random pictures that captured only parts of their faces....

... until they convinced some random dude to take a picture for them.

The girls took a tour of Eastern Michigan University, where Dana attends school and Flat Spatley was immediately taken with the campus' water tower.  Giant phallus anyone?

The phallus gave Flat Spatley a whole new outlook on life.  He donned a furry viking helmet...

... And decided to give himself a little bit of bling!

Crazy-cute cow couldn't believe it!  Dana, Jamie, Nyancat, and Flat Spatley were off to Ann Arbor, where they dined on fantabulous cheddar-ale soup, grabbed a couple drinks at a local coffee shop, and did some window-shopping in Ann Arbor's eclectic stores.

OHHHHH SPARKLY DOMO!!!  The perfect gift for Lorena!!!

Flat Spatley made it to the other side of town, past the "occupy Ann Arbor" protestors. HELLO TENT DWELLERS!!!!

Flat Spatley found some of his cousins.... a giant karate-chop spatula.....

... a handy dandy FINGER SPATULA.....

And the GUITAR SPATULA OF DOOM!!!!

After a quick make-out session with (OH SHIT I FORGOT WHAT HIS NAME WAS - the destroyer of souls) it was back to the meeting spot.  The two girl parted company, but that will not be the end of their story, for NEXT MONTH, Dana is going to meet Jamie in Lansing.  So... Until then... :)

History of the traveling Spat

So, about three years ago there was a group of ladies who all met on a Superpoke Pets (SPP) chat forum. We were brought together by the amazing Clare, and though our ranks grew over the years, there has always been a core of diehard Spats who have become the best friends you could every hope to have.

The Spatheads have come together and supported each other through rocky relationships, health problems, kids, school and so many other things. They have moved from SPP, to a private forum, to a FB group, and back again. But all along the way, they have been crazy and the most loyal friends you could have.

The first thing you need to know about the Spatheads is that they take nothing serious, including themselves. After all, how serious can you take yourself when your name comes from the Spatula City commercial in the movie UHF, featuring Weird Al Yankovic? When we get together in person, we are loud and obnoxious, and we get funny looks from people. But not a one of us would trade these friendships for the world!

Two of the Spats met for coffee one day, and the gift of a second hand spatula from Goodwill was brought to the meeting. The idea of a spatula that could travel around from Spat to Spat was devised, and there was a poll and much disagreement on the name. It was then decided that the Spatman/woman that was being create would be named by each Spat that it visited. It would also be clothed by said Spat, like a paper doll.

This, is the story of our little flat spat friend, and the adventures that it has with the Spats across the land...
