(Note: I Google searched “mannequin” and received nothing but really awkward mannequin pictures. So to make up for it, I included a picture of Jack’s Mannequin’s album, Everything in Transit. It’s a very good album.)
Funny story. (scratches upper lip)
I was on my way back from picking up the office mail at the post office yesterday morning when I came across something very peculiar. On Main Street, in between my place of employment and the downtown post office, is Universal Athletic Service, a sports store that has been for quite a while. They usually have a mannequin decked out in Cats gear from head to toe in the front window, perhaps thinking that Cats gear is something desirable. I don’t get it, either.
Anyway, one of the gals who works at UAS was in the front window re-outfitting the mannequin. Sounds harmless, right? Well, it wasn’t. It looked pretty damn weird. When I walked past the window, she was on her knees with the male mannequin facing her, giving Main Street a good view of his backside. At the moment I walked by, she was, like I said, on her knees with the male mannequin facing her with his pants around his knees, making it look–however briefly–like she was servicing the poor mannequin. I looked at her with what I’m sure was a shit-eating grin on my face, made eye contact, and then walked off.
I’m positive she could have read my lips when I said, “Wow, that looks really awkward.” I chuckled about it for the rest of the day.
Anyway, do any of you like movies about gladiators?

Yeah, I love “The Glass Passenger.” It’s a bit darker and more morbid than “Everything in Transit,” but that doesn’t make it any less great.
ummm…what caught my attention was the jack’s mannequin album cover! andrew mcmahon is amazing! have you heard the latest album the glass passenger? servicing mannequins…gladiators…i’m sure glad i read the rest of it aj!
Just goes to show you, chicks dig Cat fans, even if they are made of wood. Heh heh, wood…there’s a joke somewhere in there, also. I’ll let the next guy make it, I’m tired.
Wow. Wish I would have been there with you. Walking hand in hand as we both mouthed the words ““Wow, that looks really awkward.” in unison.
I’m sure. “Do any of you like movies about gladiators?” That dropped me too. You and Levi are freaking funny today. Good work.
