Shamrock Acres Cold Hard Cash



Cindy, the kids, and I recently drove to Madison Wisconsin to pick up our new dog "Cash". We bought him from Sally Mcarthy Munson at Shamrock Acres. He is a fine animal.

Emo, What the crap.

So you take a high school kid, stuff him into his sisters super tight pants from the gap, sag the pants about 3 inches below the butt crack, Throw some old red converse cloth shoes, and a black t-shirt and you have yourself an Emo.
Oh yeah the dude can also wear his sisters nylons on his arms if he wants to.
What the crap posesses this new fad? This makes disco fad from the 70's look tough.
I guess the word Emo is short for emotional, which is the type of music they listen too. A type of music that the musician puts his emotion into the music.
I personally think the emotion comes from the tight pants.
Sure I get it, the little dudes are mad at their parents for being mean to them. Yeah thats nothing new, but when I was a kid at least kids rebelled a little tougher, they threw on their Mettallica T-shirt and black pants, grew their hair out and smoked camels.
That was at least tough and rebellious, that made a statement.
Now its, "Dad, I'm mad at you so to show you, I'm going to steal Sallys tight pants and wear them to school. Maybe I'll even steal some of Mom's Panty hose and wear it on my arms.
Come on kids there has to be a better and more comfortable way to make a statement.
Until today,I've often wondered, What if a fat kid wants to be Emo?
Pick up a pair of Mom Pants from the 80's, (You know the type with the elastic waistbands, giant hips with the tight ankles, usually acid washed and hiked up over the belly button). Throw on a pair of those bad boys and sag em like you stole em?
Oh yeah, that'll show dad.
Well today I wondered no more. I stopped by the Wal-mart and while puchasing some childrens tylenol for my little girl, I spotted a rare Emo treasure.
He was probably 15 years old, 5'5", 250 lbs tucked into a pair of pants that he had to have purchased at the baby gap.
He had on Converse shoes and a black shirt with some band name on it.
His face was blue enough from the tight pants that a person could probably confuse him for a giant papa smurf. Only if he had a red hat.
I watched that rare gem for a minute, grabbed my tylenol and walked away.
Kids, I can dig the cuts on the arms, the black shirts and converse shoes, even some of the music isn't half bad, but loose the Arm nylons and the baby gap pants. Go pick yourself up a pair of large Rustler pants from the K-mart, steal a pair of your dads tube socks and wear them on your arms. I promise your arms will be warmer in the cold and your business wont hurt.
Plus, I don't think anybody enjoys seeing your tonsills when they look at your pants.

Just a suggestion.
