Make sure your mom doesn't put it in the dryer when she does your laundry! You wouldn't want all that quality material to shrink and force you to live at home for another 10 years so you can buy a new one.

I can't. The diamonds on my Ed Hardy T-shirt prevent me from moving my head. It's awesome!

I want Macy's, Nordstroms etc. to follow suit!

Actually, I only wear them once and then give them to homeless people after i've taken the diamonds off. Then I make a necklace out of the diamonds and wear it like a boss.

But if it shrinks he'll be able to show off the muscles in his upper body!
Muscles+Diamonds+Dragons= Getting laid!

I would also love a Macy's here! If you go to macy's in the states go to their customer relations desk and tell them you are from out of state and they give you a discount to cover the sales taxes! At least in Florida they do. I assume everywhere else as well

Wow, that is pretty disrespectful to say the least. My wife loves shopping at Target in the States because she can find surprisingly good deals and the quality and style are actually decent. I guess that means we are poor... or wait, it means we have no sense of style because we actually do have money. But wait, she buys expensive jeans and shops at a lot of the higher end stores as well so I guess that means we are rich and have a sense of style after all.

What if I go to Target to get clothes for my kids? Will there be minature worth's running around making fun of them and their poor parents?

Terrible post, almost so bad that I am not sure if serious?

- Always dirty
- Did I mention the smell?

Zellers some how inherited the Woolco smell, which I have always characterized as vomited popcorn, with a hint of shoe rubber.

Must have to do with all of the geriatric clientele in for the liver and onions special at the Z Cafe.

Man, I think I am going for the record on how many people I can offend in one thread!

I'm going to personally call Bonnie Brooks and INSIST she include the Z-Cafe rights and trademarks as part of this deal. Old people need somewhere to spend their days, amirite?

Sr. Mints · 01-13-2011, 09:49 AM

Yeah, 'bout time.

Some of the newer/recently renovated Wal-marts (Westbrook, Deerfoot Meadows) are so much nicer inside than older stores (Northland, MacLeod Trail).

I have never been in a Zellers that I could call "nice."

Westbrook?! Are you kidding? If I get in and out of that store/mall/area without being stabbed I consider it a win - but it's still dirty and gross and full of very confused people looking for the worst possible way to spend their welfare cheque.

HotHotHeat · 01-13-2011, 09:55 AM

Where will all the immigrant families that can't control their 8 kids shop now?

algernon · 01-13-2011, 09:57 AM

Wow, a lot of angry poor people in this thread!
Who's going to admit to buying their jogging pants there, after an impassioned plea about JP's being acceptable to wear in public?

Well it was a dumb comment. I am not exactly poor, but I still buy a lot of my clothes there. Their house brand of workout wear is a steal. Why would I buy a 50 dollar under armor top endorsed by doosh extrordinaire Mr. Phaneuf, when I can buy their house brand one for 10 bucks made out of the same material. I have yet to have someone point and laugh at me at the gym saying "HAHA Walmart shopper!"

I work across the street from a Walmart and when I have been in a pinch, and spilled coffee or lunch on a shirt, I have pillaged them for a dress shirt or two. One of my favorite dress shirts came out of the "George" (pronounced Zeorjze) collection.

Then only thing at Walmart that is stupid to buy is shoes, regardless of if you are a brand whore or not. Their shoes are lucky to last a month.

You a complete wuss.
There is NO place in Calgary that is inherently dangerous during the day.
I LOL, thinking of you driving past a mall in Calgary because of fear for your safety.
Absolutely not baller.

Same place where the Canadian families that can't control their 8 kid will.

There is a form of autism called Asberger's, which can result in the effected person having difficulty understanding (among other things) sarcasm.

I think you should read up on it and see if your parents can afford to have you tested.
