It should be illegal...

[MOOP_Czar]

Some things are soo much fun I am suprised they aren't illegal.

Of course this might be.

I had my gear with me in the vehicle today as I was looking for a few things to add to it.

After I had purchased a few items, I came across one of those seasonal Halloween stores.

Pause.

Look into back of car.

Look at store.

Look at back of car.

Smile.

5 minutes later...

"Um.. Can I help you?" clerk says to odd person wandering around in store.

"Excuse me?"

"Um.. Can I halp you find something?"

"Does it look like I am looking for something?"

"Yes?"

"Right you are!" Claps gloved hand together. "Please, could you show me where your replacement filters are?"

"Oh yea.. our replacement filters?"

"Yes, yes. Mine are getting a bit clogged."

Eyeballing strange person - "Sir... we don't have replacement filters..."

"Nonsense! I acqured some here last year! May I please speak to your manager?"

Clerk wanders, looking very confused/concerned, towards a curtain to get a mananger.

As soon as clerk hits curtain, strange man leaves store.

10 minutes later, strange man enters store no longer looking strange and watches girl looking through the store with a fairly Alice in Wonderland look on her face.

Man goes back to car and fondles his new bullhorn...

I hope you didn't shoplift the bullhorn because that IS illegal.
If that version isnt right, your story totally flew past my head

No... no shoplifting involved.

Look at my avatar.

The bullhorn was purchased with my new air filtration and vision enhancements.

What you see is how I walked into the store.

Shoplifting "IS" illegal. No should about it....

*sigh*

[Ugly Dougly]

You're weird, sir.

[MOOP_Czar]

You're weird, sir.

Thank you.

Sorta like telling the Pope he is Catholic.

I've gotten asked "what I'm dressed up for" when I'm just walking down the street to get a burrito. In SF. And I don't dress outlandishly (ask Fishy- my clothes are pretty damn... not weird). The facial hair alone confuses people- some of them have no concept of living outside the box.

More power to you in confusing the masses, MOOPsocks!

What you see is how I walked into the store.

You used very elusive words like "odd" and "strange" to describe your look

I am elusive..

Like a snipe.

Or a snake.

Or a possum.

PS - Eric - I bought these socks.

[theCryptofishist]

[MOOP_Czar]

[theCryptofishist]

Throcks cubed. I like it...

When I was 18, I lived in SF. I used to get dressed up in my best almost costumes and ride the cable cars. Got my picture taken by the tourists, some of them even would hand me money. I wasn't asking, I guess I was just cute and vulnerable looking. But I wore what pleased me, a lot of long skirts and Victorian touches. Proto-goth without the scary.

I miss the 70s.
