Because there’s nothing funnier than watching the disappointment wash over your loved one’s face as they’re reminded that they’re still poor.



Training Bra Weirdness

No, as a man of almost 30, I didn’t feel weird buying a training bra at a dollar store.

I would have felt weird if I’d bought 10 of them. 1 = normal(ish).

Once I made a point of informing the clerk (and repeating for her manager) that I was buying the training bra for the typo in the the text on it, and assuring them that I was in no way required to register with local authorities when I changed addresses, we all had quite a laugh.

I mean seriously…Who prints “Myn Dog Walks All Over Me” on a training bra?  That’s just weird.



Weird Statue Wednesday: Mardi Gras masks

dramamasksFat Tuesday comes but once a year, but hanging these weird-ass masks in your bathroom will terrify you year-round, every time you turn on the light for a midnight pee.

Plus, you can’t tell this from the picture, but they’re each about the size of a fat man’s hand, which makes them even creepier for some reason. Like they’re made for shrunken heads. NOW try to pee, with a shrunken-head-mini-death-mask staring fixedly at your junk. Can’t do it, can you?

To all accountants/poker players shopping at the dollar store, I have two things to say to you:

1) Check out this crappy visor!

2) If you were a better accountant/poker player, maybe you wouldn’t need to shop at the dollar store. Maybe you could have nice things instead.

Dollar Store 014

All the fake ballers out there use this sh*t to “bling out” their cell phone or their gear. That’s how you can tell they got no ends. But I’m for real. I bling out my BLING. Y’hear?

Dollar Store 023

I guess I never gave this one much thought, but if you’re going to have a $400 wedding cake (not that you’re going to spend $400 on a cake and then buy the topper at the dollar store, but I digress), you want the topper to represent you. But don’t you think it’s a teensy bit racist to only sell black cake toppers at the dollar store? What if I’m white trash, and I want to buy my wedding cake topper at the dollar store? I’m S.O.L.!

By the way, this is what a white trash wedding cake topper looks like:

Let me start by saying that there’s nothing wrong with doilies. Every woman over 150 years old should have at least one. But what kind of messed up Chinese-to-English dictionary spits out “Lace placemat Fruit” when you type in “doily”?



Boy burns down dollar store, causes potentially thousands of dollars of damage

The headline was inspired by Fark.com, but since it happened in Tennessee, the “thousands” might be overstating it a bit.

But I digress.

The kid was mad at his mom, so he starts a fire? I’m no child psychologist, but I think the “lighting-fires-when-angry” behavior is something they’re going to want to nip in the bud. Not to sound like Grandpa EmDub, but when I was a kid, we used run to our room, slam the door and cry into a pillow when we were mad at our parents. We also had to walk 12 miles uphill in the snow each way to school, so…yeah.

When you’re in the market for a faded-yellow soap pump featuring barnyard animals, you might think you’d have to drive all the way to the Cartier store or the Tiffany & Co. boutique. Well I hope you’re sitting down for this: You don’t have to! This finely-glazed specimen will only set you back a dollar at your neighborhood dollar store.

FIGHT CLUB SCREENPLAY, FIRST DRAFT

INT. The Dollar Store – DAY

Jack and Tyler, in trench coats, looking like death-warmed-over, wait as a BUYER fills out forms.

There are cans of “Cholesterol” hair conditioning cream on the counter.  Jack looks like he’s half-expecting to get arrested. His hand is BANDAGED.

JACK (V.O.)
Tyler sold the hair conditioning cream to department stores at twenty bucks a can. God knows what they charged.  How ironic. We were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them.
