I enjoy buying girls clothes

Kid Rock was arrested last night for getting in a fight at a Waffle House just down the street from me. I live in a pretty gay part of Atlanta, so that must mean that Kid Rock is gay. But that’s his choice :0)

In other Atlanta news, I enjoy buying clothes for girls. But, being a single man, I often find myself purchasing clothes for my friends’ wives and/or girlfriends.

For example, Leslie wanted “nice, going-out” clothes for her recent birthday. So I spent a few afternoon hours at the mall and picked out what I think Leslie would like, but not necessarily items similar to what she already wears. I would consider Leslie’s style elegant-conservative.

I went with a silky, sleeveless, chartreuse blouse that has a sequined strap across the front. The color is more yellow that green and according to the hipster Express girl is the hot color of the season. It’s probably a little more daring and trendy than Leslie normally wears, but, again, I was trying to get her something just barely different than she already has. I also picked her up silky, black, sleeveless top with black flowers at the very top. I thought it was classy and could be worn to cocktail party, coupled with a skirt and sweater.

It did, however, look a lot more like lingerie when I gave it to her in front of a bunch of people than it did in the store. So I was a little uncomfortable.

My questions are:
A) Is it appropriate for me to buying clothes for my friends’ wives/girlfriends?
B) Why do you think I like shopping for girls clothes so much?
C) How many of you, boys or girls, would trust me to buy an outfit that you had to wear to a big occasion?

Thank you for your time.

P.S. Kent … If you feel like posting pictures of the items I gave Leslie maybe that would help people with their answers.

Who Dat

SaintsFinally.

My friend Wes, a Bills fan, said yeah last night, “Yeah, you forget what it feels like to win, don’t you?”

Where was the team that showed up last night in our first four games? Despite making me really nervous in the fourth quarter with all the pass plays, we looked like what everyone expected us to look like.

Update:

This guy:

Hollis Thomas

Is quickly becoming one of my favorite Saints.  He gets fatter and fatter every game.  In a season that has been bereft of man-boobs without Bill Parcells, Hollis Thomas is filling the void.

O. F. Mare

SaintsIn an article in the Sun-Herald about the Saints kicker situation and Mare’s groin injury that is supposedly keeping him from making field goals, Olindo F. Mare said:

“I’m not worried about anybody taking my job as far as when I’m healthy,” Mare said.

Then Mare alluded to Tony Romo’s five interceptions and lost fumble when the Dallas Cowboys played at Buffalo on Monday night.

“You can’t base it on one game or Dallas wouldn’t have a quarterback.”

Yeah, but the difference is, Dallas won.

What’s wrong with the Saints?

SaintsThe only teams that are worse than the Saints are St. Louis and Miami, and that’s just because they haven’t had their bye week already.  Are we emotionally spent after last season?

Is it:

  1. Olindo Low Kick Mare -Sunday’s blocked kick was totally his fault. Peppers knocked it down with his elbow. I can’t really fault him for missing the long field goal, a kick we had no business attempting. Way to go, Chip Lohmiller.
  2. Devry Dropsies Henderson – That catch and run to the one was great, but that last drop/bounce into the hands of the Panthers was ridiculous. At least he looked like he was about to cry after the game.
  3. Jamal Front Door Brown – When he wasn’t getting run over, he was lining up incorrectly and costing us a touchdown.
  4. John the Other Front Door Stinchcomb – See Jamal Brown, without the illegal formation penalty.
  5. Drew Bad Decision Brees – Drew didn’t get sacked on Sunday, but still looked terrible. Is it his fault? Is it the O-line’s fault? Is it the wide receivers fault?
  6. Sean Predictable Payton – What’s with this short pass bullshit? Did you forget how to use Reggie? Where’s the play-action? What’s with all the slants and five-yard out passes? ALL OF WHICH ARE DROPPED, by the way. What’s with the conservative play calling? The long field goal attempts with a kicker who couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn?
  7. Robert Where Am I Meachem – Are you not that good? Can you not learn the playbook? Are you fat? Injured? We need someone to step up in our receiving corps. I don’t care if it’s Meachem, Copper, Moore, or Patten.

On the bright side, Eric Johnson looks pretty good and so does Mike Karney. Reggie’s games are getting better. Mike McKenzie bailed out the secondary. (I never thought I would appreciate McKenzie so much). Hollis Thomas looked good. Will Smith finally got a sack.

What do you think is wrong with the Saints? Do you still believe? I do.
