Man, that's crazy. I don't have much money, but even I couldn't go a whole year without buying at least something.

 

[heypapajinx]

what a crock!
they should have excluded EVERYTHING!
no shopping for food, "toiletries", essential undergarmets...
they should have grown their own food.
brushed their teeth with sand.
and worn the same damn underwears all year long like i do!
i just can't take rich people seriously.

Must be really hard on gay ppl not to shop.

hahaaaa!!
yesss.
i'm very frugal when it comes to the undergarments.
i just buy a big package and then wear them til the dang waist band is hanging on by a thread.
but of course i have some special ones for those nights when there's a possibility of human physical interaction.
i'm so bad at shopping, my step mom got me a $50 gift certificate to Victorias Secret and i'm dreading using it because it means i have to go to the mall. grrr mall.

heh... i have my 4 or 5 pair of "nice" under-things for the nights i think i might actually get lucky, too. not that the other ones are in bad shape or anything, but yeah.

and i hate the mall, too. i only go when i want to piss myself off.

yeah.
i'm so frugal i buy bras at the thrift stores and then brag about them already being "broken in".

and yes, the mall is the spawn of all things evil.
have you ever seen the people who work there!?!?!
like mindless zombies!
even the 35 year old ladies selling plastic jewelry are dressed like Jessica Simpson!

i used to work at the mall, like, 6 years ago.

but in all fairness, all i did there was hang out and make fun of all the mall patrons: the 12 year old ****s, the 35 year old jessica's, the speed-walkers, etc...

and you know what's funny? 90% of my boxers have christmas stuff on them... in november, the last time a girl saw my no-no parts, she asked me why i had mickey mouse christmas boxers on... i told her it was a long story.

you should have said "it's a long story. a long, large, semi-stiff story" and then 'ed at her.
haaaahahahahaaa!
if she was cool she would have died laughing.
and then you would have had to call the parimedics and explain what happened.
then you would have been left with the stain on the carpet.
maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

anything that leads to a stain on your carpet seldom is.
