Although I truly try to avoid shopping at any "big box" store in general, & Wal-Mart in particular & much prefer shopping at the dwindling "mom & pop" stores & paying the big buck, my lady insisted on visiting our local Wal-Mart to do some of her Xmas shopping early this morning.  I took the opportunity to accompany her & do some people watching &  while analyzing the Wally shoppers I witnessed the following:
  
 Morbid obesity rampant
 Adorned in cheap ill fitting Chinese clothing
 Gimps & crips galore
 Vacant stares
 Missing chromosomes prevelant
 Buses arriving with helmet wearing window lickers
 Massive use of Social Services "wellie" debit cards
  
 I then transformed myself into the Flashman mantra:
  
 "If you can cast doubts on the skills & ability of others, there's no end to the things you can fail at without being noticed" & immediately felt better about myself.  A catharsis for me that I shall repeat on a weekly basis from now on.
