[Cheiron]

A little transcript to wish you all a safe and happy christmas shopping out there...and to let you know: if you happen to be male, and you have to face christmas, remember, you are not alone.

We come into chat when I am questioning why on earth they want to open shops at 5 am:

Cheiron: well ... uh... let's assume that
the amount of people that wants to
go shopomaniac is constant... on
that day...why open earlier?
George : it is not just that day
George : they entend normal store
hours thru out that period
George : an extra hour on each end
George : so a normal 10-9 goes to
8-11
George : ti draw the shopomanicas
into the store che
Cheiron: humm
George : remember u say "sale" to a
woman
Cheiron: beyond my understanding
George : and what happens
George : and they drag their
traumatized husband along
Cheiron: gosh
Cheiron: poor guys
George : hehehe
Cheiron: at 5 am???
George : yup seen a lot of them
sitting in a corner sucking their
thumbs
George : yup 5 am
Cheiron: even if I was married to uh...
Michelle Pheifer... no way she would
drag me out of bed at 5 am to go
shopping
George :
Quack...Quack..Quack...Yak yak
yak...snort snort !
Cheiron: not even at gunpoint... I
would just go: just shoot me then
George : in todays times..now the
store has to compete with online
shopping
George : so they all have their own
sites
George : by dec 22 or so...the guys
are mere shadwos of themselves
George : wandering around aimlessly
Cheiron: I know all about it...
remember I told about the 7 hour
shopping tour with ex??? ... it nearly
killed me
George : Hehehehe - hahahaha - I
am crying here....giggles
Cheiron: I mean it... I was in a really
bad shape by end of it
George : i got smart after a while
Cheiron: I just had to go lay down on
bed...panting
George : i just give the money to the
wifey
George : and then retire to a bar
nearby
Cheiron: trust me I tried
Cheiron: but I had been so damned
idiotic to promise to go with her
Cheiron: I didn't know I was to
experience something worse than
hell
George : hahaha
Cheiron: after 5 hours we entered
store number 43... me sagging along,
delerious of boredom... the girl in
shop asked my ex: um can I get your
boyfriend something?.. coffee or
water?... he looks a bit ashen
George : unhuh
George : seen that a lot
Cheiron: .... I had nightmares for a
week
George : i had to witness that
phenomena for about 17 seasons
Cheiron: jeez
Cheiron: they don't even treat animals
as bad
George : nope
Cheiron: during the shopping tour, I
seriously contemplated calling
Amnesty International... you know...
you get desperate
George : in fact some of the guys i
could have sworn...had gone
animalistic and started gnawwing on
them selves
Cheiron: OMG
Cheiron: yes a well known
phenomenon... it is due to our
brain... a new pain can blot out
another pain
George : yup
George : i sent them to the animal
section for chew bones
Cheiron: atta boy
George : course i was sneaky too....i
would use certain terminology to
wake them up a bit
George : tools
George : sports on tv
George : men stuff

(end of transcript)

So please all you wonderful ladies out there: please be nice to your men, we try our best

If the darn stores would just provide wifi and a decent surface on the cart to put the laptop as I followed Gehoo through the endless miles of aisles, it'd all be good

[mimee]

This post may be an older one...I had a good laugh but I have to stick in my 2 cents from a woman's perspective.

Yanno you guys should appreciate the fact that some women actually want their man around while they are shopping because its important to them, you should feel honoured that she actually wants your opinion???

But no........... men have to whinge and whine instead...oh well...such is life.

There i said what I wanted to say..

LMAO

[Cheiron]

we don't whine... we just silently start to gnaw off our own arm in desperation.

Got a good laugh out of this posting LOL.

I think I have to agree with Flexie though

Us men should appreciate the fact that women actually want us around even when they shop. Good point Flexie

I dont mind tagging along shopping with a pretty lady, once all is said and done we can sit down, have a drink and unwind. Sounds to me like a good ending to a shopping day.
