A few thoughts from a day spent at the mall...

Against my will, I was forced to spend the better part of today shopping. The death blow was when I found out the mall was part of the deal. I did manage to survive the carnage, and I am a little more educated because of it.

I present to you these facts:
1. As the temperature drops, so do people's IQ's
2. The busier a store is, the more stupid people act
3. If rules 1&2 are combined, the resulting effect is an IQ of lawn furniture or less
4. Fat people like to walk in 3's, and spread out across the busiest aisle of the store
5. I want retractable arms. My current arms get bored after a few hours of dangling there with nothing to do
6. In a busy retail environment, soccer moms resort back to their basic instinct and will chew your arm off for the last size 7 little girl's santa dress
7. Old Country Buffet is not a good place for your 19 member family to celebrate and do their gift exchange
8. Battering rams should be legal during Christmas time but only in mall parking lots

I think people are just stupid all year, you are probably just around them more when you are at the mall

I put a lot of thought into this. Wouldn't it be cool to just pull them up into your body? Just have hands at the shoulder?

Retractable legs would be cool too. No more looking for a place to sit! Just pull your legs up and have feet right at butt level.

Hmmm... I wonder how that theory holds up during the times when school is out here on ATOT? :p

It holds up quite nicely to my belief that one could become a millionaire if they invent a way to stab people in the face over the internet.

7. seems perfectly reasonable as they have acres of space. Chick-fil-a would be a bad place though.

It's not the Cold, it's the Season. Half the people(including myself) are in our own little worlds trying to figure out what to get a bunch of people of varying ages.

hey at least they are walking! seriously like thats one of the things that disgusted me the most when I moved to Texas, tons of fat chicks...seems like the local stores have fleets of motarized cars just waiting to carry their fat asses around....I can't remember the last time I actually saw a disabled person using one...
