This patch is a good example of why The Hall of Shame should not be limited to bad autographs. On eBay now...

"Houston, the Turkey has landed!"

Or is that a pigeon...?

And it appears the olive branch has been replaced by two coat hangers. "We came in dry cleaning for all mankind".

What I don't understand is did someone personally embroider this? Where could this have come from?

Haha! Made me laugh out loud when I saw that. By the way, those aren't coat hangers, those are craters!

Thanks Rob! I wondered how the rear hanger was attached to the tail.

So now it's "we came to re-start the volcanoes on the moon". For all mankind, of course!

Craters huh. I thought they were swim goggles. "We came to swim on the moon"

Anyone can see that those are not hangers or craters. They are Rose Colored Glasses.

So bad that it is good so I bid a $1 on it. Do not snipe me!

Darn it. I put a $1.50 snipe on. It looks so ridiculous, I want it.

She's a beauty all right, looks like a rare Tiger Brothers proto patch.
