'Its getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes'! This song performed by our own bandaid wearing bleck man - Nelly - could never be more true.Its a really hot day. And how does one avoid the blood, sweat, and tears of an above 30 Brisbane Day? Well besides having a slip'n'slide in the backyard, the idea is to head for a building that has air conditioning. Lucky for me I had to take Granny out to Toombul shops so I haven't broken out in a sweat.
Now Toombul is an exciting place despite what most people will tell you. I went in the same 5 shops at least half dozen separate times while waiting for Granny to finish up her lunch with other family members.
It was on one of my frequent wonderings around the one hallway of Toombul that I got asked to jump inside what I thought was a funny looking tent. Upon closer inspection it was a large, vertical tent like changing room with huge pictures of Australia's Pat Rafter in a Chesty Bonds singlet on the front, back, and sides.
The Blonde sales girl was encouraging me to drop my own strides, jump in this "Pat Tent", and try some of Pats own dacks. Pats Dacks came in only Lime & Tangarine so I passed up the opportunity to give them a whirl.
After releasing myself from Pats Dacks, and the sassy sales girl I decided to visit The Dome. The trip was well worth it for the bargains galore at K-mart.
However, every good shopping adventure has a down side. For some its an item that is far to expensive. For me it was running into Gobbles & her three sisters not just once, but twice!
This is the part where I would love to say that Gobbles had split ends, daggy jeans, and was pudgy as buggery but unfortuntely the young lassy is damn fine.
We eyed eachother off like a couple of cowboys in the old west. I was waiting for her to turn and say 'Draw Pilgrim' -just before I shot her between her beady little eyes. But a deathstare from me saying, "Just try it huckleberry" obviously deterred Gobbles from saying a single word. She bowed her head, turned on her heels, and made a quick exit.
Spurred on by my victory over all that is evil, and wrong in this world I purchased myself a cheap DVD then headed off myself.
Yours,
John Cutter
PS - Be warned! If you ever come up against an ex who tries to strut her stuff, suckerpunch that bitch and send her packing!!
