Eh. I'm sure i'll find it for free somewhere sometime. and if not. I planned to join the club eventually anyway.

Why does Ethan even need company for his hunt, from two people he sees almost every day already no less? Most days I prefer to go looking on my own w/o my gf, since it can be so much faster. Usually she only tags along if there's something she herself wants from Target et al.

There's always something to be said for having friends going along with you. When I was in the sci-fi club at Texas A&M, we'd hang out in the basement of the student center, and from time to time, we'd have to go up to the second floor to pick up some paperwork or something similarly boring and simple. Invariably whoever went to do this would take two people with them, just because.

Also, hey, you can always use a couple of wingmen. If you and another toy hunter are going for the same last toy on the shelf, a girl with superspeed and another armed with a toy vacuum cleaner can make for excellent backup.

The messed up thing is, the non-Super Target I go to is set up like that. Past womens clothing is kids, then mens.

[dvandom]

They all are set up like that, or a mirror-flop thereof. Target has more standardization of floorplans than most.

[reiryuu_noshiko]

Huh. I never really realized it...I don't go to Target very much, as there is only that one and a Super Target that's within reasonable driving distance...and I guess I just never thought about it.

[shortpacked]

The floorplans in all the revised/newer Targets have the electronics/toys in the back/far corner, though walking straight in from the door still gets you into womens.

So does Ethan's shirt say "Guy Friend" or "Gay Friend"? The tiny font really makes me want to know.

[tehsongsong]

I'm 99% sure it's gay friend.

:3 I'd actually wear a shirt like that.

[tehsongsong]

Funny thing is; in my group of friends the guy would need a shirt that said "straight friend".

...poor bastard actually complains about the number of lesbians he knows.

(Otherwise, I'd also totally wear that shirt. XD)

[tehsongsong]

Thats because lesbians are just going to be doing lesbionic things like home repair and car mantinence :p

Hanging out with my friends wouldn't require me to wear a shirt like that (girly-voiced guys singing show-tunes, we're not really subtle), I just think it would be fun XD

So lemme get this straight (dur hur):

Ethan is wearing a purple t-shirt saying "gay friend", and he's going to browse women's fashion and shoes with his two lady friends.

Predictions:

In a week, he'll secretly start reading fashion blogs.

In a month, he'll start calling Amber and Robin "dahling" and make suggestions to Galasso about changing the Shortpacked! uniform.

In a year, he'll quit Shortpacked! and start working for [insert name of fashionably fashionable fashion store].

...

DON'T DO IT, ETHAN! The world needs more geek gay men!

I'd have to agree, it would be odd. Unless you're talking a Mean Girls senario. Then he has to do it, so the cool kids like him!
