A Note From the Weekend

drpaisleyYes, there will be other notes, but this one is extra special.
Saturday, after adventures you all will learn about in the future, Tully and I ran over to Costco to acquire some steaks for dinner, plus a couple of other items we needed. While we were in the line to have the receipt checked, a young girl (teen aged, I would guess 15 tops, but that's not an area where I have any expertise whatsoever) walked by us. Her bright yellow t-shirt caught my eye, and I realized the picture on the front was the classic Lloyd Dobler pose from "Say Anything." Then I realized there were problems.
The first problem was that instead of John Cusak, the person holding the boombox* was Justin Beiber. The second problem was that the boombox was positioned on the shirt so that the speakers just happened(2) to cover the wearer's breasts. Tully and I looked at each other, and I said "So wrong, in so many ways," and he just nodded.
The third problem, that I instantly recognized Justin Bieber from a brief glance at a t-shirt, we won't talk about.
*Almost typed "boobbox."
(2) For values of "just happened" that lean toward the "totally designed for that effect" end of the spectrum
