Where's the ROFLMAO smilie when I need it? This is just crying out to be a sig somewhere: "Nobody respects the elderly these days. Everybody's a smart ass white boy or a man in a dress. It's just not right."

However, having said that, it must have been quite creepy for you.

Actually, it wasn't that bad. He was putting off more of a "depressed" vibe than a creepy vibe. And definitely a drunk vibe.

"Everybody's a smart ass white boy or a man in a dress."

Well, we know Bush is the smart ass white boy. I guess that makes Cheney the man in a dress.

Interesting that stopping at your shop - a sex toys shop - was one of the first things he did after getting out of prison. Getting drunk came first. Realizing he was sexually attracted to what he thought was a woman probably confused the hell out of him, so he needed reassurance that he's a "real" man.

I got one word for you and the Gift Buying Man: aplomb. Full-on aplomb.

Gift-buying Man was pretty cool, wasn't he?

that was one of those naturally-occuring t-shirt slogans, right there. And I'm glad that Aplomb Husband was there, so you weren't the only one to hear it

So did you give Gift-Buying Man a discount in gratitude?

Gosh, that's just what I was thinking. Everybody's just a white boy or a man in a dress these days. God save us all.

I just discovered this blog and so far love it. This is a great piece of dialogue you've captured here. Reminds me of something out of Chuck Pahlaniuk.
