batskeetsAnd no, neither of them is me, wiseass. ;pppp
But first, a sidebar: How the Secret Service protects Bush from free speech. I about vomited reading this.
Anyway! Yesterday at Target, I bore witness to the following. Imagine these lines being spoken in vapid sorostitute voices:
Girl 1: Oh my god, should I get this scale?
Girl 2: Yeah, we'll probably get use out of it...
Girl 1: Well, but it's $50.
Girl 2: You don't need a $50 scale.
Girl 1: Well, we'll put it in the cart and decide on our walk, okay?
I was in the same aisle looking at shoe racks, at the time, and I quietly took a quick gander at said scale. Other than the fact that it shows your weight on an LCD window, it seemed like a pretty normal scale to me. Certainly not something I'd want to pay $50 for.
Mere moments later, a couple friends of theirs show up.
Girl 1: You guys, talk me out of buying a $50 scale!
Friend 1: Um, you don't need a $50 scale.
Girl 1: But it's so CUTE! Look at it!
Seriously, guys. If the scale does something extra, like, say, calculuating your body fat percentage, I might understand. But for the love of god, YOU DO NOT SPEND $50 ON A SCALE BECAUSE IT'S "CUTE" UGH DIE PLZ.
Well, okay, maybe you do if your rich and snooty Daddy buys you everything you want. But *I* sure as hell don't.

I had a similar experience while mom and dad were scale shopping and these giggly girls picked up the cutesy 50 dollar scale. I think dad made a comment along the lines of "For $50, it should actually make me lose weight"

Date: 2004-01-08 04:53 pm (UTC)I wonder if a $50 scale is more accurate than my cheap-ass $9.99 scale that I have to tare every other day. Probably not.
