So I went out with a couple of friends to Minsky’s Pizza in Lee’s Summit last night, which is a suburb of KC. Aside from being thankful that I didn’t have to pay a dime of our $163 bar tab (shout out to Sniggs’ tax return!!), I was also amused to realize that Lee’s Summit really is Hurley Nation. I don’t know why Lee’s Summit dudes seem to cling so closely to Hurley. I really don’t. It’s like a step up from Hollister, really. Speaking of the recent Hollister explosion over the past couple of years, is the recession so bad that no one can afford Abercrombie anymore? I remember when I was in high school, Abercrombie is what all the upper-class kids were decked out in, and Hollister is what we middle-class folk wore to try to keep up with the Joneses.
Lee’s Summit also seems to be the home of really cute girls latched to douche bag’s arms. This really perplexes me, as well. From here on out, I declare that Hurley changes their motto from whatever the fuck it is now to “Hurley: Giving Lee’s Summit Dudes an Excuse To Wear Their Hats Crooked Since (insert year).”
I don’t mean to play fashion police whatsoever. God knows I haven’t bought any new clothes in quite some time, but I just wish these Lee’s Summit dudes in their mid-twenties would get a sense for who they are as a person, and what they really like instead of continuing to try to fit in with the SAME a-holes that they went to high school with for the rest of their lives.
p.s. in related news, I don’t want to see anyone over the age of 21 wearing a seashell necklace ever again.
