One of the great pleasures in life is discount shopping-one of the many truths the universe has revealed to me that that retail is for suckers. Today I was perusing the local Ross, looking for gloves, pillows, knee socks, and a cookie sheet. So of course my cart was loaded up with dishes, candles, towels and lots of other junk I didn't need when I saw it; Hummer Body Wash. Two thoughts came to mind:
1. there's no way that even the most creative person riffing on the absurdity of contemporary American culture would be able to think this one up and
2. Oh, jeez, the blog is back up and running tonight!!
Most of you could probably guess how I feel about Hummers and the people who drive them, but if there is any doubt in your mind about what I think, here it is. I think they're (both the vehicle and its operator) stupid. The fact that a person thinks they need to drive a civilian version of a COMBAT vehicle is just completely mental. And I can hear you out there right now; "Well, what about a Jeep, Miss Smarty Pants?" Well, kiddos, different war, different rules. You look cool in a Jeep, you look like a tool in a Hummer, especially the yellow ones. Also, a Jeep doesn't take a month's rent to gas up. One of my (un)lucky friends will find the scent of hot rubber and desperation in his stocking this year in place of the lump of coal. Maybe I will just save it for the Old Town White Elephant gift giveaway. I think it would be a hit. Anyway, great to be back, ranting away.

Hmmmm, Hummer in a bottle??? Must have been created by a man. Does it come in different flavors?
er, its body wash. I think that it only comes in the one scent, God willing.
