04/29/01 07:08 AM: I have to go buy
I have to go buy a pair of khakis. Can you believe that? I have at least one pair of pants in almost every other color, but I do not own a pair of khakis. Naturally, I am being required to wear them. Anything else and I would have been set. I have pink pants, for crying out loud. But no. . . . I need khakis. I was also given a Hanes t-shirt, size large, that I am to wear. I could fit about three of me in that thing. I generally wear smalls, medium at most. Never large. But this thing, this monstrosity, is no run-of-the-mill large. I think you would need to weigh a bare minimum of 250 pounds to fit into this shirt. I weigh half that. And this was only a large. Let me explain. This is what the cast is supposed to wear for the play that I’m in. I was given a large because I’m “tall but thin.” Most of the people got Xls. Haha! I feel quite sorry for them. Anyway, I refuse to wear that thing. So I went to Wal-Mart to get a decent sized shirt, that being the closest store and me having to walk. I got a small, which is still a little big. But they actually had shirts (the same kind) in sizes up to XXXXL. They were in plastic, so I couldn’t see how big they actually were. I think I would have been frightened. I’d hate to see the person that could actually fit into that. I mean, I know people that actually need Xls, even XXLs. XXXL, that’s pretty big. But XXXXL? Keep in mind that these shirts seem to run about two sizes too big. A medium is what I would consider an XL. So it was basically size XXXXXXL. I don’t really know why I’m talking about this. . . . It sounds like I’m making fun of overweight people. I’m really just making fun of Hane’s concept of a “Large.” I guess you had to be there.
Dear magazines,
I am getting tired of you sending me letters and then automatically signing me up for subscriptions if I do not respond.
