Manly Enough to Buy Girlie Games

I went down to Best Buy the other day and grabbed the two latest Nancy Drew mystery games off the shelves (marked down too!), then made my way to the cashier.

The guy must have noticed how happy I was because he remarked dryly, “You must really like these games.”

“Um, they’re for my sister. It’s her birthday.”

“Sure.”

“She’s twelve,” I insisted.

“Sure.”

“Well, have a nice day,” I continued cheerily, then muttered under my breath, “…little snotnosed ball of pus.”

Ah well, two new games and I am happy as a clam… err, for my sister that is.

They have Nancy Drew games?! Didn’t know that.

Speaking of which: I had problems being in the supermarket aisle picking up feminine hygiene products the first time my wife sent me out for groceries after work shortly after we got married.

Nowadays I’m a pro.

@MM: They don’t make Hardy Boys games, which is what I really wanted. For my sister that is. :tongue:

@Sicarii: Does that mean you order online now?

I pick up feminine hygiene products with great ease these days as well.
And Linc…it might have been more believable to say they were for your neice.
Oh…and this reminds me of you…little girl.

there are nancy drew mystery games? where, where? totally missing the point here, but i grew up with nancy drew. we’re tight! :lovena:

getting back to the program, i’m really fascinated about how manly men go bonkers at the idea of buying feminine products for us. i mean, it’s not like the people at the check-out counters think you’re buying it for yourselves! seriously, whay could you guys do with a box of tampons… erm, wait, i don’t want to know the answers to that. :nolisten:

that is a blog post in itself waiting to happen. :think:

I’d be happy to buy any women girlie whirlie products like tampons… online of course, in the privacy of my own home, where nobody can see. God bless the Internet.
