I need to go to hellmart tonight. But I already have my...

[Maddy McCall]

Tinkerbell pajamas on. Should I just throw on my slippers and go to hellmart like this?

I need an ink cartridge badly. That means I'll have to walk all the way across the store in my PJs.

Do you think anyone will notice? Should I put my hair in foam rollers, just for appropriate accent?

:D

[Left Is Write]

1. Yes, go in your jammies...

and I triple-dog-dare you to add the curlers! ;)


edited to add, my daughter calls Tinkerbell "Tinklebell" and I just got a little giggle out of that.

[mwooldri]

4. Wallyworld don't care too much what their customers look like.

Just as long as you're not showing stuff you're not normally supposed to show they might gawp a bit but who cares?

[Maddy McCall]

8. gawp.

Love that word. I'll have to add that one to my vocab. :D

Welcome to DU, mwooldri! :toast:

[Maddy McCall]

5. LOL. Your daughter and my son would get along splendidly.

He calls our new weimaraner puppy "Tinklebell," and justly so. :hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Sure. You'll still be better dressed than most of the people there.

And will likely comport yourself more professionally as well.

[Maddy McCall]

6. I'll dig in my nose...

just for good effect, or perhaps pull my panties out of my ass, right in front of everyone at the checkout.

Yeah, I should fit right in. :hi:

[merh]

3. Be sure you drive up with your cigarette hanging from your lips.

:smoke:

And yes, the foam rollers would be a nice accent. :rofl:

:hi: :hug:

[Maddy McCall]

7. Sexay!

Maybe I can find a new boyfriend in the automotive department, eh?

I can get my hoses checked, while I'm there. :D

:pals: :loveya:

[merh]

11. Heh, I got my hoses checked this evening.

You might get lucky in the automotive department, one never knows. ;-)

Is it cold up your way? We are supposed to have a light freeze tonight. Damn if it wasn't 80 plus yesterday. :shrug:

:pals: :hug:

[Maddy McCall]

15. Is it cold? Pffffttt!

It's cold cold cold! I haven't turned the heater on yet, but I've been outside making sure my outside animals have shelter. The ducks are running around like it's the end of the world.

It's really cold...it's supposed to freeze here, too. :brrrr:

[merh]

18. Then you must be sure that you wear the camouflage

hunting jacket when you go to hellmart. Stay warm and make that fashion statement. :hi:

I'm not sure how the tin can femansion will do, I'll just have to see. Every day a new adventure around here.

:hug: :loveya:

[Maddy McCall]

21. Seriously, be VERY careful with your heater.

Didn't you tell me that it's electric? If so, not as much of a worry. But if it's propane or gas, be VERY careful and get a carbon monoxide alarm tomorrow.

[merh]

25. The carbon monoxide alarm came with the place.

As a matter of fact, it sounded last night, when the power went out during the thunderstorms and winds we had.

I'm using the electric heater. I haven't been able to get the propane heater to work without making all of my alarms go off.

I'll be very careful and you do the same at hellmart! :smoke:

thanks :hug: :loveya:

[Maddy McCall]

28. I'm just going to go to the office supply store tomorrow.

It's too damned cold to get out tonight. :brr:

:D

[merh]

35. Good idea - stay inside and warm.

:hi: :pals: :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

9. I'd go for the feather trimmed mules instead of slippers.

Tink would like the look better.

[Maddy McCall]

10. Cool! And I have my Mardi Gras feather boa I can throw on...

it's cold here in Mississippi... must be 45 out there!

[In_The_Wind]

14. It's 43° and raining here. Darned I'd join you runnin' amuck ...

but my feathers would get all mussed up.

[Maddy McCall]

16. I've got a couple of windbreakers we can wear...

We can tuck our boas in, and wear galoshes over our feather mules.

:D

[In_The_Wind]

23. The windbreakers will work very well. I just waterproofed my boots.

Do you think I should wear these instead?

[Maddy McCall]

26. These will be more appropriate:

Except in white patent leather. :D

[In_The_Wind]

29. Frinnnnnges! Oh Boy I sure do love fringes! And white ones are to die for!

:woohoo: let me at 'em ...

[Maddy McCall]

30. LOL

I think the balloon flip flops, with green nail polish to match the John Deere purse, will actually work better.

:D

[In_The_Wind]

33. ...

:spray:

[Maddy McCall]

20. Have you seen the flip-flops with...

balloons tied around the upper part of them? Those would be water proof! We could wear those, instead.

Or I have several pairs of cowboy boots...really colorful ones. You must join me--you can wear my boots! :D

[In_The_Wind]

24. ooo ooo Flip Flops ... I'm getting all excited!

[Maddy McCall]

27. Check 'em out!

With this John Deere purse:

[In_The_Wind]

32. oh gaud

a john deere bag ...

I'm gonna wet myself in excitement.

Stop it!

I'm gettin' the vapors.

[Maddy McCall]

34. Then put a Depends on before you see this.

Handcuff aluminum foil purse:



Guaranteed to get any purloined items (like a Sheena Easton CD) through the burgular alarm at the exit of Hellmart. And you can put the guy in electronics in bondage, so he can't sound the alarm. :D

[In_The_Wind]

37. Houston - we have a problem. We're fresh outta Depends. I just ...

took my laptop into the bathroom to be on the safe side.



:evilgrin: now about that guy I just put in bondage ...

Sheena Easton ... hmmm

[Maddy McCall]

38. LOL...

YOu are crackin' me up tonight. :D

[In_The_Wind]

39. I'm so happy I could near bout burst! Watch it! It's contagious!

[Maddy McCall]

40. I really needed to laugh tonight.

Thanks for it. :D

[In_The_Wind]

41. You can count on me Maddy.

I'm happy to have helped elevate your mood

[Elidor]

12. Hellmart. Ain't that the truth

I go there once a year, and even that is too much.

[Maddy McCall]

17. My kid calls it FartMart.

He farts every single time we go there. :D

[Peter Frank]

13. Definitely wear the rollers...

...they don't work when you're properly dressed.

[Maddy McCall]

19. Now THAT is ALL woman.

All she needs is a six pack of Dixie Beer.

[Wapsie B]

22. Must be nice living in a region where it's warm enough

to even think about going to WallyWorld in pj and slippers. Here you'd need winter gear just to get to the car.

[Maddy McCall]

31. That would drive me so crazy....

I would never ever leave home, except to go to work.

I complain when it gets down to 32 here, and that's not very frequently. I have tremendous respect for you guys who have to live in subfreezing weather all season long.

:imnotworthy:

:D

[Wapsie B]

36. Trust me. I'm not staying in this climate forever.

Yesterday was crappy, but now things are cleared off and it's ok getting around. I don't mind the cold as long as the winds stay down. But I would loooooooooooooooove to be in a part of the country where you have warmer weather, year 'round. I can see why people want to live in the South. :)

[Maddy McCall]

42. Truly, there are only a couple of bad things about the south:

Mosquitos and religious zealots (most of whom vote republican).

Other than that, I love the South.

:hi:

[Wapsie B]

48. Well, we've got the skeeters here too.

Yeah I thought the religious zealots were a strictly southern thing. After church my dad would turn on the Old Time Gospel Hour and listen to Jerry. I heard him in his drawl and thought what a relief that I didn't live where he was. Then I went to college and had my eyes opened with all the conservative fundies running around, organizing into groups like Campus Crusade for Christ and others.

Every time I've been in the south I've fallen in love with it.

:hi:

[NMMNG]

43. Foam rollers and bunny slippers

You want the *total* look, after all.

[Maddy McCall]

45. Do you think I need a chaw of Levi Garrett, too?

Just to complete the whole image. LOL. :hi:

[NMMNG]

46. Ooooh, perfect!

That would be the icing on the cake!

[Broken_Hero]

44. sure why not...:)

I have seen people dressed worse...

[Maddy McCall]

47. On my son's first day of kindergarten....

way back in 1995, one mother showed up in a housecoat over her PJs, and slippers, and a roller. Her kid was excited to be at his first day of school, and she slapped him in the back of the head and told him, "Shut up, MFer!"

Come to think of it, she's my role model. Maybe I need to take MMjr with me, and I can beat him in his head and tell him to go get the malt liquor for me! And we can go at, like, 3AM--that way, I can be a fashion icon AND a cool mom!

:hi:
