Possessive Aggressive

I couldn't resist taking a picture of this rather unfortunate (but totally predictable) sign at the Modell's Sporting Goods in Chelsea on Sunday. It reminded me of my pal and fellow blogger and radio host Derek Hartley, who just the other day threw a fit about this very thing eliciting my favorite Facebook status to date ...

At least there's an object to be posessed in this case.

I also hate it when people use the wrong "your" & "you're"..."then" & "than"..."their" & "there"...I could go on and on.....

Hi Kenneth
I dont know why your so upset about that banner. The thing is that their obviously trying to sell some mens' shoes anyways. For all intensive purposes what does it matter? It's a mute point. Irregardless, you shouldnt be so mean. I thought you were supposably a good guy. In one foul swoop you lost a reader.

I wonder if they are shoes for that time of the month - menses shoes. Eeew.

Maybe they have a special pocket for a tampon.

Thanks for the nod. "I'm happy and angry," as Ralph Wiggum would say.
