A hunting we will go…
Last week we went on a wild mission to come up on some goodies at the A.J.Wright yellow ticket sales. The picking were disappointingly slim although I did get a handful of pieces I will be giving away over here.
*I apologize to everyone that I owe a prize to but I am shipping out six(6) boxes of winnings and various snail mail so please sit tight a few more days*
This week’s public transit mission was a lot more direct but almost as long as last week’s WestChester excursion. Since I got my day job paycheck I wanted to give myself a little Polo Ralph Lauren lifestyle retail therapy. I plotted a jump to the Walt Whitman mall in Huntington. That’s Long Island, New York for those of you that might give a fux. Walt Whitman used to be my private Idaho for Polo I.T.’s. I always found pieces in 2X.
The advantage I loved about Walt Whitman was that the mall had three of my favorite department stores all in the same building. Lord & Taylor, Macy*s and Bloomingdale’s all together. I’m bound to get something fresh from one of these outlets. I haven’t fuxed with Walt Whitman in a minute tho’. I wondered if my favorite clerks were on the sales floor. My girl at Bloomingdale’s was still around and she was happy to see me. She complimented me on my Nordic lambswool sweater and matching wool socks.
Bloomingdale’s was tapped out tho’. The only thing I found was Lake Placid ball cap. It had a patch on the crown and some other details. My girl added the 15% off store coupon to the already reduced clearance price for a total of $12 bucks so I copped two(2). One to rock and one to put on ice. I don’t say this to people because it doesn’t matter to me like that but I started the saying of putting gear on ice. I used to sell shit on eBay and some of my I.T.’s still had the tags on them. I told my bidders that I kept my pieces on ice like Walt Disney. I was just saving them for a later day when I would remove them from their cryogenic stasis.
Lord’s didn’t have shit either but Macy*s had these Olympic scarves on sale for $34 so I added this to the archives. The scarf can be a consolation prize sometimes when you are on the hunt. Rugby’s and knits are the gold medal joints, while a polo or a funky ski hat are in the silver medal range. Even tho’ this scarf is a bronze medal it’s like an Apolo Ohno bronze since I already have so many medals in my collection.
Since I was in Suffolk county I knew better than to play around and get stuck waiting on public transportation. My shopping mission was perfectly timed to catch the bus returning to the Amityville LIRR train station. When I got to the station I saw that my next train to Brooklyn wasn’t arriving for another hour. What the fux?! A train was arriving headed in the opposite direction so I hopped on it to keep warm. This was how I won. By going out to Babylon I could catch an express train back to the city.
I arrived in Brooklyn in time to walk the floor of the Marshall’s at Atlantic Terminal. Marshall’s has ‘Lo I.T.’s from time to time. I’ve actually caught some heat up in Marshall’s on the low [ll]. Tonight’s Marshall’s comeup wasn’t clothing tho’, it was kicks. The Air Jordan 2009 has been on sale all around the city for the low low price of $50 but never in my size. Marshall’s ticket was $60 and the OG box price was $190. I like getting kicks from Marshall’s because just like a sneaker store Marshall’s has them in boxes. The Air Jordan 2009 box is shaped so retarded I don’t know how I’m going to stash these in my museum.
All this shopping was my T-Mobile bill. I should have gone to a camera store tho’ and bought the memory stick for my video camera. I think y’all would have enjoyed my documentary of all the douchenozzles in the mall. Maybe I’ll get that joint tomorrow. Unless y’all don’t mind all of this reading?
