I was in a little comic/CD store called Newbery Comics a few weeks ago
(anyone in the Boston area should know how great it is). Anyhoo, I was
on one of my 7 CD spend-a-thons that I tend to go on from time to time,
and something so incredibly stupid happened that made me feel like the
biggest jerk ever. I will get to that later, but because of it I present
my GUIDE TO LOOKING LIKE A JERK IN A RECORD STORE.

Here's the deal. I was in the punk comp section, and I was lookin' at
some Fat Wreck Chords comp CDs (Fat Wreck is Fat Mike from NOFX's fame
record label). They have some great bands on them like Less than Jake,
Lagwagon, Mad Caddies, No Use For a Name, and of course NOFX. Each CD
has like 20 songs on it and they're only like $4.

So I brought them up to the register, and the girl behind the counter
was kind of heavy set to say the least. There were also like 3 or 4 people
behind me waiting in line. Well, I was waiting for the total, and I noticed
some of the people behind me were kind of snickering. I looked at the
register and I noticed why.

Every CD had the word fat in it, and as she would scan them they would
appear on the scanner. The titles were as follows: Physical Fatness Fat
music for Fat People, Life in the Fat Lane, Live Fat and Die.

Well the girl didn't look so happy, so I paid her and ran out of there
as fast as I could.

Another similar scenario took place when me and my friend Chris were
in the same store. He likes Eminem for some reason, and he was buying
the new CD (Marshal Mathers LP). So he brought it up to the counter, and
the guy who rang it up gave him the meanest, most dirty look I have ever
seen. Turns out the guy was gay.

Well, there is no morale to these stories, but I thought they were amusing
and I hope you guys do too! OK, that's it for now, and remember, "You
must find the Jade monkey before the next full moon!"
