"Stephen King?Oh yes,he writes Mystery."

[stacy270]

So the other day I finally decided to find the library's new Used Book Store.Typed the adress into the Tom Tom App and spent 20 minutes driving in circles.I even had hubby on the phone trying to help.I finally got so mad I moved on to Goodwill.After Goodwill I decided to recheck the adress of the Used Boom Store.Ummmmm......I was looking on the wrong street! Finally made it to the bookstore.The sign said "Mystery books buy one get one free." So I found the Stephen King books(Cell,Revival,Duma Key,Misery,Different Seasons,Skeleton Crew,The Dark Tower). I grabbed the set of boxed PB's ( just because I though they looked cool).And I grabbed three cozies.Get to the desk and there are too very sweet elderly ladies working.She rings me up and tells me $12.00.(I am loathe to say anything because they are so cute) but I'm thrifty and I politely said,"Oh,But are the mysteries still BoGO?" The lady ringing me up says," Oh that's right!" I say," I wasn't sure about whether the Stephen King books are included but they are all under mystery." The other lady pipes up with an emphatic,"Stephen King? Oh yes! He writes mystery." I thought to myself," Well that's an odd turn of events,most people just label him as horror." So she adjusted my bill to $6.00 and off I went.
So why am I even telling you this? Becuase those two ladies were just so darn cute!

Is anyone else kinda put off in the Volkswagen commercial with the old ladies flirting with the young man who's giving them a test drive in the car? Grandma and I agreed that if the genders were reversed, there would be demonstrations and imprisonments.

...yeah, I find it offensive as well, for exactly that reason....

My grandfather did this, as the story goes. He was very old and kinda losing it.
My mom and dad kept asking him to go to bed because he was tired.

He looked at the mirror above the couch - across from him, pointed and said, "I ain't going nowhere till that son a bitch leaves"

Also, while my memory is here. We had large dolls when I was little. (thanks, mom)

He pointed at one that was propped up in a corner, thinking it was me - and said,"Look at that sweet little thing over there, she has been as good as gold all day!"

Come on now.That is just mild.There is a fast food commercial where a half naked chick is all but um "having intercourse" with a hamburger.Every time I see it I am like WTF? I always look at my husband and say,"If that were a guy in that commercial all h*ll would break loose." About time older ladies started getting their groove back

...it may be mild, but I have grown mind-sick and eye-weary over all the poorly attempted sexual commercialization, ads for male enhancement, women's diapers etc...sorta makes me want to have the douche commercials back.....

The feeling' s mutual. Stephen King is also a sucker for cute old ladies.

Oh, I acknowledge the point. And then there was this one - and yeah, we're not to the point where a guy would be the one, um, surprised with the sandwich.

Thank you, Burger King, for upping society's vulgarity level, because you know, we really needed that.

Back to the creepiness/cuteness of gender age disparity. Remember the "Twilight Moms" poster?

*edit. Even though on tv, not for this board.

I find that series of commercials hilarious. Yes, if roles were reversed, there would be an uproar. That's life.

One could say I found my match when I first read SK because I have always thought this way.
