so yesterday i was at walgreens, waiting for my perscription to get filled. i started wandering through the aisles cuz i had a couple of other things to pick up (listerine, neutrogena eye cream, and a melty bar cuz i know you care). i found the halloween section so i could price fake eyelashes for halloween. (after seeing lori at disney prom i've just been looking for any ol excuse to get a pair) and i saw all kinds of standard halloween costume fare - pirate costumes, clown wigs, and prison hats. that last one's what the story is about.

think about a hat a person would typically wear when dressing as a prisoner on october 31. done? okay, what's that hat look like?

most of you would say a pillbox type hat (circley shape). with big fat black and white stripes, of course.

and you'd be wrong.

because according to the halloween aisle at walgreens, this year the prisoners are stepping things up a notch and are dressing to the nines. on their heads they will wear those huge lameass felt top hats that all the drunken college kids wear on st. pattys day weekend in savannah. in big fat black and white stripes, of course.

i fully expect to go back there next week to find tye-dyed nun costumes.
