Two Weekend Oddities

A couple of strange things from this weekend, both from Sunday. The first, an interesting quote from our first errand:

I don't think we quite need eighty dollars worth of lube.

The second, while visiting the purveyor of pasteurized, homogenized, watered-down, counter-culture rebellion (a.k.a. local "Hot Topic" store in the mall), I saw a strange thing. While paying for our purchase, I noticed the little 16-year-old checkout boy had what looked like a cock-ring hanging from his employee ID badge.

At first, my brain tried to ignore it. I mean...cock-rings...who cares? Other than worrying whether I have mine, who cares about anyone elses? THEN my mind went into overdrive, trying to figure out what else it could possibly be. It simply could not be a cock-ring. I mean, WHY OH WHY would he need a cock-ring at the ready while working at Hot Topic? Porn store...maybe. A bar...more likely, depending on the bar. But Hot Topic?! What could possibly happen at Hot Topic that would demand instant and ready access to a cock-ring?! The mind boggles.
