I am looking for a sweater. A specific one. That I saw elsewhere, but not the right size.
So we went to REI.
Desultory wandering around the store.
Packed with feverish-looking people.
All demanding the outdoors lifestyle.
It made me feel sick and headachy.
Because I don't want a lifestyle.
I want a life.
And besides, REI used to be cheap and cool.
Key operating word here= used.

i had to google REI.
i hate these kinds of venues.
Patagonia, too.
rock-climbing mothafuckas...
let them freeze to death on Everest whilst I watch them on Discovery Channel, drinking hot mulled wine.
IDJITS!
98.999% of those people won't even touch the soil of Asia, much less get within 500 miles of Everest. They wear their REI gear to mow the lawn, visit Starbucks on Sunday morning, and sit in front of the TV watching Discovery Channel. And they talk about that killery kayak trip they almost made in college. But got drunk and spent the trip money on more beer.
Which has gotten very he-man of late.(Discovery Channel, not REI)Kind of like an outdoorsy big brother of Spike TV.
exactly.
