Shea and I were it Gordmann's earlier, looking at hoodies and Christmas stuff.  As we meandered around the store, we came across something that....well, that no person should ever have to see, ever.  It was something so awful, so abhorrent....it is a vision that will stay with me for a very, very long time.

Man thongs.  Red and green velvety man man thongs with a red and green elf hat to wear them with.  There were also black and white tuxedo style ones that came with a black tie on a bit of elastic that the guy is supposed to wear around his neck.

I have seen maaaany male strippers over the years, and ALL of them have made me cringe.  I don't care if their 6-pack rivals Ah-nolds when he was in his prime, NO man looks good in a man thong.  It's a crime against humanity for a dude to wear a thong; it shouldn't be allowed.  In fact, I think it should be illegal in most states.

Here's the kicker, though - the racks were almost empty, which means that *shudders* most of them had been sold. Which means that a good number of men in the Fairview Heights area will be sporting red and green man thongs and silly elf hats sometime over the Christmas holiday. *shudders again*

Eew.  That's all I have to say about that.
