There is much to mock...

elfsI took Yamaraashi-chan malling today, because she wanted to, and I, having limited computing resources and little else to do, decided that it sounded like fun. We could have some father-daughter time together, and the mall is always good of fun things to mock.
First on the mocker list: FYE, or "For Your Entertainment," a retail store that sells CDs and DVDs. I mock them because their idea of "world music" consists of half a dozen reggae albums, half a dozen celtic albums, and a few compliations of "The Best of Senegal," "The Best of Morocco," "The Best of Italy," as if one 72-minute CD could hold anything meaningful about an entire country's entire history.
Second on the mocker list: A woman wearing a t-shirt that read, "Every Time You Wipe Your Butt, A Tree Dies." I mean, isn't that taking environmentalism a little too far? Unless this is an advertisement for the bidet-- a revolution in toiletry of which I whole-heartedly approve!-- it's just disgusting.
Third on the mocker list: the guy at the car dealership who took one look at me, decided "You aren't really going to buy a car anytime soon," and walked away. More fool him; I've got plenty of money for a down-payment and yes, I am, in fact, in the market for a new car. And the Saturn Outlook he was selling? Looks sweet. Too bad I won't be buying from him anytime soon.
Yamaraashi-chan and I did one big circuit of the mall, had a good time hanging out, talked a lot about "getting things done" (she, like me, has a problem figuring out what to do next with her life, but unlike me, she doesn't have much in the way of ambitions yet). It was a fun afternoon.
