"Unplugged," and properly so
I
can find reasons to excuse the author of the shopping list,
but there are none to excuse the cretin in the roll-over. I'm
embarrassed
for us as a nation, as I am for having elected this current
government. Twice.
The
"Caveman" guy titled this collection; "You
Might Need To Take A Shower After
Viewing These Pictures: People Of Walmart." Now, I don't
generally
cotton to the Walmart People meme,
primarily because I despise the the left and their union thugs who are
in
the business of attacking Walmart and customers because the company
won't roll over for
them. But, in this case, OMFG. I need a shower.

The attendant at the self-checkout machine at the Navy Commissary saw my shopping list on the scales after I'd put all my bags in the cart to leave.
ReplyDeleteAs she was bringing it to me, she read it and was confused by my habit of abbreviating items. The list went something like this:
baw
kam
sib
gat
itl
tsok
tinap
mais
gisan
big
but
"What is this, some kind of code?" she asked.
At the speed-line register was a Filipina lady I happen to know, so I showed it to her, and she explained it to the other woman:
baw = garlic (bawang)
kam = kamatis (tomato)
sib = sibuyas (onions)
gat = gatas (milk)
itl = itlog (egg)
tsok = tsokolat (chocolate, for cookies)
tinap = tinapay (bread)
mais = mais (corn)
gis = gisantes (peas)
big = bigas (rice)
but = buto (bones, for the dogs)
and so on. I mean, c'mon, EVERYbody knows that, right?
Guess the woman just didn't expect this blue-eyed, fair-skinned ol' Midwest farm boy to think thataway.

The list is for the wedding reception dinner for the vulgar fat girl who has been wading in manure. Never tried cedar cheese.
ReplyDeleteCedar cheese is the new high fiber cheese. Moochelle is pushing it for school kids.

I wonder if she even knows she didn't get the tattoos she asked for?
ReplyDeleteAt first I was prepared to ridicule the list maker but after a little thought, I actually find the list charming. While not the most literate, orderly, concise or healthy shopping list, the guy is still putting a lot thought into what his family needs and likes. I give him a total pass. Write on, friend, write on.
