and just as i start to think about how backwards everything else could be at menards... things just keep getting worse...

today for instance; i saw a cross dresser. yes, a tranny. in real life. no, id never seen a real one. but i did today. and honestly, it was just as funny as you could imagine. its a 50 to 60 year old man, probably 50 pounds overweight, wearing a purple mid-drift tshirt, exposing the hairy old man gut... touched up with a shoulder length bright copper colored women's wig, black high heels, and perfect circles of red make up on each cheek. above his/her eyebrow's were baby-blue eyeshadow. and since it was a man, the obligatory 5 o'clock shadow poking through.

i about died with laughter. i know i shouldnt have. i know its not funny. i know its close minded. but geez. what a get-up. i mean, i understand when a faucet breaks, you need parts... but take the wig and heels off. a good old boy, "Kuntry" hardware store, that proudly sponsors nascar in their banjo laden jingles: might NOT be the most approving place to try out your new wardrobe. i also was looking around, while trying to get the lingering smirk off my face, and i didnt see anyone else with him, or watching... so no, we cant fall back on the "my buddies are making me do this" excuse... he obviously didnt loose any bets. hes just lost his sense of identity. but picked up this faaaaabulous new lisp and nail polish, delish!

secondly, the creepy molester family was back. i dunno how many of you ive told about it... but... its a girl, about 16 years old, and a step dad, about 35... appearantly, the step dad took a "shine" to the new step daughter of the woman he married.... appearantly he also shined up other things... enough that when the mother found out, she asked for a divorce and split. leaving plenty more daddy/daughter time... ahem. if you understand what i mean. anyhow, thats the alleged back story. what we see in the store... are these two getting pretty close. some inappropriate area's being touched... and the general appearance of "creep" the girl showed up in shorts so short, that part of her but is hanging down out of them. and creepy daddy seemed all about making her walk around and slapping the bare skin at random times.... very creepy. very much a menards shopper.
