Last night I watched Game 5 of the Yankees-Red Sox series in my office with my homeboy Dan. Go SOX!!! Awesome, nail-biting game. The game was tied 4-4 at the bottom of the ten zillionth inning when Ortiz knocked one into the center field, and Johnny "Mullet" Damon ran from 2nd to home plate, ending the game. Suhweet.
I checked Eddie Bauer's online catalog for winter -- and the jacket I need to replace isn't on there! Argh. I was in Bellevue Square on Saturday for some errands and I did find a very, very similar item at a store I don't normally go to: Express For Men. I don't normally visit Express because, um, how do I say this -- the store is gay. Ok, not International Male kinda gay, but hints of fu-fu gay.
Let's see if I can break down how I associate stores with their male shoppers. What are men really saying based on their store preference?
Express for Men: I'm gay.
Guess: I'm gay.
Armani Xchange: I'm gay.
The Gap: I'm a conformist.
Old Navy: I'm a conformist on a budget.
Banana Republic: I'm a conformist yuppie who thinks it's perfectly fine to pay $60 for a $20 shirt.
J. Crew: I'm a conformist yuppie.
Abercrombie & Fitch: I'm white.
Eddie Bauer: I clear brush and shoot ducks for fun.
L.L.Bean: I clear brush and shoot ducks for fun, and I have an East Coast accent.
Edit: Forgot to mention Monday's highlight, which was watching clips of Jon Stewart calling Tucker Carlson a dick to his face on CNN's Crossfire, then watching Monday night's The Daily Show to hear Jon make fun about the incident. I first saw the Crossfire bit on an ifilm.com link shared by Mark. anselan pointed me to this as well: http://www.contemporaryinsanity.org/video/
