Going to the mall. ARRGGHH!

I'm getting ready to do something I never do, go to the mall.
I hate malls. I wouldn't be doing this if I could figure a way to weasel out of it, but I need some new clothes and some other stuff for this weekend's trip so I have to bite the bullet.

If I don't come back, tell my wife and kids I love them.

Malls are full of teenage girls with low riding pants showing off their tramp stamp and T-bar underwear floss.

Be sure to take your camera and post a field report later. Sometimes you just gotta take one for the team..........

.........and yes I hate malls just as much as you. Once a year I go there if even that frequent.

Don't do it. Go to a stand-alone sporting goods store or something. You might never return from the mall.

You'll see many of us on the "Group W" benches, sighing and drooling. It's not a fun place or a pretty picture.

I've had this fantastic idea for a mall for ages that I tell everyone I meet. Nobody has ever followed through.

Lay out the mall like a wheel with a giant Hooters as the hub.

Men get sports, t!tties, and beer; women can shop all they want. Problem solved.

LOL, I made it back.

I spent most of the time in the pet store playing with the puppies and kittens and in the sears tool department, and the only things I found worth buying were two shirts and a belt.
I had my watch band re-sized too.
No scantily dressed girls, it's 50 degrees out.

I'm done with the mall for another 5 years, who hoo!

It would take some sort of major pressing NEED to get me to a mall at this time of year. If I can't get it on-line or at a local store I will wait.

You too? Give men a good place to hide and we'll happily take our wives shopping. As opposed to avoiding it like crabs with herpes.

Prepare yourself for the worst.
Edit: It could have been worse (since you made it back):
