Random Friday

First a conversation with mom…

While we were watching Jeopardy, a commercial came on for the Missouri Lottery.  The spokesman was saying that they have scratch off games from $1 to $20 dollars.  And he says that the twenty dollar game winner can win $200,000 a year for life! (He doesn’t mention that the state immediately puts out a hit on any winner.)

Mom: “If I ever spend $20 on a scratch off game, just go head and make reservations for me at Shady Pines Rest Home.”

Me: “I’m not worried. You won’t even play dollar slot machines in Vegas.  It’s nickels and quarters only for you!”

Okay, so now I’ve seen it all.  I was in Walmart, cause I love going to Walmart, and there was this chick walking in just ahead of me wearing a very tight white tank top (wife beater) and cut-offs.  I noticed her because she had a really awesome body.

Anyway, I walked in and went over to get my razors and some sinus/allergy stuff and then headed across the building to the grocery side.   As I was walking along, I noticed miss white tank top chick in the women’s clothing section.  And what was she doing?

She was trying on shirts. Over her white tank top. In front of a mirror right in front of everybody.  And, the shirts she liked she would put back on the hanger and hang on the wall.  The ones she didn’t like? She just tossed them onto a pile on the floor. 

I mean, I guess I give her credit.  She was dressed and didn’t take her tank top off to try on those shirts in front of everybody.  Although that would been pretty damn awesome. 

So, I guess I’ll add that to my list.  I’ve never seen anyone trying on clothes in a store without going into the dressing/fitting rooms.  Maybe this is a new trend just like the bikini tops and cut-offs trend this summer that I enjoyed so much?  We can only hope so.

If you watch Food Network for longer than about seventeen second you have probably seen the promos for latest Next Food Network Star Aarti Sequeria’s new show “Aarti’s Party.”

I noticed that at first they were spelling “Party” as “Paarti” and then “Paarty” and then finally just said to hell with it and decided to spell “party” correctly.  Even though I normally really hate it when anyone changes the spelling of a word to make it cute or whatever, in this case I was a little disappointed that they changed it back to the correct spelling.  Mainly because I now doubt there’s any chance that in her first episode she’s going to be deep-frying some potatoes and start singing  “It’s my party and I’ll fry if I want to, fry if I want to…”
