always [entertainment]. always.


i almost bought green nail polish this morning at walmart to paint my toenails, but nash dropped it from the cart onto the floor of checkout number 22. almost instantaneously, and probably because the gooey liquid was splashed into a puddle large enough for me to really take in the green color, i realized that it would have been a bad purchase. the guy in line behind me bent down, dipped his finger in, and began painting a mushroom on the back of a pad of paper he was in line to buy. "i like green," he said with a yellow-toothed grin. liz got an employee to come clean up the spill while i approached the counter. there was a single dude checking out in front of me, red-faced from embarrassment as the cashier scanned the upc symbol of every burrito he was purchasing, probably 40 or so. it was when nash kept saying "i dropped it! uh oh!" as the mushroom man kept on grinning and the cashier kept on scanning that i realized that THIS is why i shop at walmart.
