I think they require the use of regulation bats in MLB.
As long as they're wood.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm imgaining that Jilli leaves Whole Foods one day with a small child and cart who have accidentaly gotten caught under Jilli's hoopskirt
I'm wearing mostly knee-length petticoats nowadays, so that's not as much of a danger as it used to be. There is one used bookstore, however, that I had to do a cat check at before I left. The store cats thought that trying to escape under my hoopskirts was the funnest thing ever.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I thought it was a Northeastern thing, shoving change and bills and receipt at you and then expecting you to get out of the next guy's way. I don't recall that ever happening down South. I hate it. I hate it almost as much as I hate the people who meander through parking lots as if they were the only people on Earth.

I'm finding it pretty damn entertaining, so I can see where they were coming from.

That's hilarious, if a little disconcerting, I imagine.
I think the exit interview ate the officemate. 2 hours and counting now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
There is one used bookstore, however, that I had to do a cat check at before I left. The store cats thought that trying to escape under my hoopskirts was the funnest thing ever.They'll never think to check under the perkygoth foofiness... It's too cunning a plan to fail again.
::peeks up at Jilli checking her hoopskirt for strays::
Curses!
It may be the migraine meds talking but, yeah, funny.

Do security people ever think you're trying to stash things amid your petticoats?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Only because it was.
When we were at Borderlands Books on Saturday, every time I squatted down to look at a book on the bottom shelf, Ripley the hairless cat would try to crawl under my swoopy black cape. The magically vanishing and reappearing fabric cave just thoroughly entranced her.

Nope. In fact, the only store I ever get hassled by security at is the neighborhood Fred Meyer (which is a NW-regional store kinda like Target). The next time I'm there and I see the security guys trying to follow me, I'm going to stop them and say "Guys, shoplifters want to blend in with the other shoppers, not look completely different. Oh, and you need to work on your being stealthy."

the neighborhood Fred Meyer
The last Fred Meyer in Utah closed its doors a couple of years ago. They pulled one of those bait and switch "Going out of Business" sales where they transfer the stuff people might want to other stores and leave the crap under the hopes people will go "But it's cheap!" and buy it.
