I was in McDonalds yesterday for a Mocha Frappe.  Got to tell you, McDonalds has done very well with their new coffee bar.  Better than average coffee at a good price and a nice selection at that.  Plus those new frappes are crack.  I highly suggest checking it out.



But as soon as I entered I saw a kid, probably about 20 or 21 years old that just made me cringe.  The guy was in line playing a PSP.  Nothing wrong with that, though I do get irritated with those kinds of people who are too involved in their device, be in gaming, cellphone, ipod, etc. that they become oblivious to the rest of the world and forget to move forward with the line.  This guy was decked out in just a little too much gaming clothing and accessories.  He had a baseball cap with a NES controllers all over it, and "Old School" NES t-shirt, and..... wrist bands.  One again had the NES controller on it, while another had a 1-up mushroom on it.



Simply put, he looked like a jackass.  



To make matters worse this guy looked like the classic stereotypical gamer.  Skinny, thick glasses, beard that just wouldn't grow in right.  I just wanted to slap the silly bastard and yell, "all things in moderation you douchebag!"  I suppose he deserves a little credit for getting out of his parents' basement right?



I'm not against people showing who they are, but why go out of your way to look like a walking billboard for the gamer stereotype?  I'm sure a lot of people won't agree with me, but if you're not able to dress yourself in a way that suggests you're in your right state of mind I'd rather you not identify yourself with something that is also a part of who I am.

Alright. You two can keep those carts right where they are... please...

You know what... just keep 'em... No one else would want them anymore... Just keep them... and stay there... forever...

Speaking of which: Here's a Pic that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand!

Don't say I didn't warn you!

Oooooh god.... why did I click on that?

Yeah, it's sort of weird. I mean, I don't mind if the guy was playing a PSP or DS in public but the wrist bands is a bit overboard. The shirts and hat is nerdy though.

But what's most strange to me is the dude's age. If he was a little kid like 12 or 13 then that's no big deal. But 21 years old?

That's pretty sad.

I must say: either the artist went a bit crazy with shadowing, or the Japanese have a certain fetish for overly hairy poop-shoots!

Yay! Poop-shoots!

What was this topic about again?

Does it even matter anymore?

That's the sign of a good blog you  know? When the accompanying thread ignores the topic and veers off into a completely different direction.

And yeah that is an usually dark ass crack.  There's something going on there.  Either too much shadow, too much hair, or this particular artist has a fetish for whatever the opposite of anal bleaching is.

It's weird that people focus on the clothing.  The only thing I'd find objectionable would be playing in line; you're at McDonald's, not waiting hours in line for tickets to an event.  Calling someone a douche for wearing geekwear, well, is kinda douchey itself.  I also don't think he can do much about the need for glasses.

Too much hair?  Could be Vader.....Oh God, why did I even go there?

I don't mind what people wear myself. The only thing that would annoy me about said individual at McDonald's was that he was playing a game in line. Seriously dude it's McDonald's you're not going to be in line THAT long.


Now if you don't mind I'm going back to oogling Leo's pics. Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. Nyaa
