I don't trust any dude who knows where to buy his own socks and underwear.

That's what Christmas is for.

Fixed it for you.

Socks and underwear aren't clothes, they're accessories.

And I suspect that any grown man who has his mommy pick out his underwear for him has some serious underlying issues.

I have like 20 pairs of the same fruit of the loom underwear. When a few pairs wear out, I go buy more from walmart. $10 for 3 pairs is solid. My mom gives me sentimental gifts now that I dont live at home. Quite frankly, I prefer that. I can buy my own stuff, because I'm a big boy.

If you don't know, I can't explain it to you.

If you want, you can send an appeal to my office to see if we can requisition some Awesome for you, but don't hold your breath, we're too busy getting hot models in bikinis to set off some huge explosions (the litteral kind, we'll get to the metaphorical kind later).

Well we don't have a newsletter per se. You see at the ministry of awesome, we don't have an AV club because that wouldn't be awesome at all.

However, if you'd like to learn more about the goings on at the Ministry of Awesome, please feel free to check out this website:

www.explosionsandboobs.com (if ever there was a website that delivered what it promised, this is it, and that is AWESOME).

Enjoy.

why do you keep saying mommy, my wife does this for me. Being a guy, I wouldn't throw out socks and underwear, but she does, then she replaces them. Works for me.

I love that in 2009 guys take sass for having a sense of style.

Find me one girl that appreciates a guy's taste that shops at Randy River and Old Navy.

Suzles doesn't count. haha.

I definitely know people that drove down from Vancouver a couple years ago to visit Abercrombie in Seattle.

ME too!!!!! I can not STAND the thought of walking into a mall crammed with annoying people that struggle to walk in a straight line or walk at all. I just want to punch people in the face. I frakin HATE shopping of any kind. Even when i bought my car, i went to the Acura dealership, test drove 2 cars, and bought one.
If i need new clothes, i will procrastinate to the point of wanting to shred my current clothes then, i will park to the nearest entrance of Le Chateau and RW, go in, buy stuff and get out. One hour max. More than that, i get stabby.

Wasn't this supposed to be Calgary's version of WEM? Looks pretty lame to me. And what is with the entertainment portion being completed years later than the rest of the mall? Looks like this wasn't planned very well.

That about goes for everything in this city and the surrounding area.

I have to be in a very, very, very specific mood to shop. Even more so with my girlfriend. When I'm in the mood, I don't really mind it provided there are good deals and I get something so I feel like I didn't waste all my time.

Lately, I just got a Xbox so I'm looking to get some games and have been going to EB games, futureshop, walmart, superstore, anywhere with cheap used games. In fact, I went to the mall closest to me with EB games, futureshop 3 times over the last 3 days. On top of that, when the EB games I wanted to go to wouldn't do a multiple trade, I went to another one further down. When I want something, I'll do it... same with clothes. So I'm pretty bad. But this spree only comes once in a blue moon.
In fact, I'm still wearing some T-shirts from High school... tight but wearable.

This 'mega-mall' is a nice addition since I live in the North. It's a little far, but if I'm going to do my shopping it's extremely nice to have it all in one location. Nothing I hate more than going to one mall, jumping into a hot car, drive to another mall and find parking. Anything to lessen my need to go to WEM.

However, I'm dissapointed that Hollister jumped out of this mall. You say ######bag, I say cheap clothes. They have T-shirts and shorts going for like $10-15. They're not the crappy walmart quality, actually pretty good quality. I honestly don't think Hollister is very ######baggy. Abercrombie on the other hand...
Yes, I'm well aware they are pretty much the exact same company, but the prices vary drastically on them. Hollister offers cheap, fashionable clothes whereas Abercrombie is expensive but yet the same.

Don't even get me started on Lacoste. I don't like anything from that store. My sisters got me a couple of shirts and shoes there but I have a hard time wearing it. It's like a phobia for me.

I heard it was supposed to be bigger and better than WEM. Now all that is going in is outlet stores and it isn't that big, no wavepool. What the hell?

And shopping doesn't have to suck. Only shopping for certain items. I love shopping for tv's, games, stereo equipment. Shopping for clothes how ever is stupid.
