One of the slowest days was the day serenaded with eight and a half hours of country radio. In case you were wondering, country radio equals about 4 or 5 songs which are rotated all day. In the words of some country lyric writing genius: "God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy." A nice motto for life don't you think? Thankfully we found the oldies station, never to go back.
I've been working the register a bit. A charming couple from Oklahoma came to the store 3 times in two days. The man and his legit accent made my day. I don't think he ever stopped talking.
My favorite job so far has been dressing stuffed bears. Who wouldn't love playing with soft stuffed animals for your job? I put a chic Sturgis shirt on him (or her, if you prefer) and pierce his/her ear with a price tag. These bears are hip.
I deal with a lot of biker merchandise, obviously. Some of the manly design names of flags, hats, etc include Angry Buffalo, Eagle Attack, and Wolf Rider. If any of you readers wish to send me your artistic interpretation inspired by the preceding design names, feel free! And I will let you know how close you are to the actual ones.
There's an interesting piece of biker clothing called a "Motley Tube." Apparently it has numerous uses including 1.) skullcap, 2.) desert scarf, 3.)pirate headwrap, and 4.) blindfold. So if you ever need to kidnap someone, sail the sea with Jack Sparrow, cross the desert with Hildalgo, or go to a bar mitzvah, a Motley tube has you covered!
But my favorite piece of merchandise is shown below:
They're called "Beverage Babes" and I think they're hideous. I mean haven't you always wanted your can of soda to have breasts?
Me too.
Oh my gosh I was laughing so hard! Well except for the country music part because that is pure torture. Great blogs! Keep them coming. I need a laugh at the expense of the Sturgis Rally. Ha!
