I really, really wanted to take a photo of the greeter at our local WalMart. I didn't want to offend him, I'll try to sneak a photo later sometime. This guy looks just like Mr. Potato Head. Glasses, mustache and all. It's freaky.

Oh yeah, it was a catchy little tune but ..... I think I may have been blinded by the sights!!! My first thoughts were "don't any of these people look in the mirror" (which I have said many times in Walmart and to be fair, other places) and darn if the song didn't say that too. Boy, some people are really creative!

We have some in our WM and they do come out during the day! A few months ago I was in California and saw and older oriental lady in hot pink and feathers from head to toe!

I forwarded one of the emails of the walmart people to someone(I thought was a friend) and was accused of making fun of "mentally ill people". I said I dont think they are mentally ill, but people who like strange looks. Ended up losing a friendship over it. Didnt like being accused of making fun of mentally ill people...a thing I would NEVER do. :(

Most were just overweight and unkempt and I guess they think it proves something to show they are proud of being this way.

Think maybe the photos hit a little close to her target??? I'm not too fond of people making fun of fat people, but when you weigh 200-300 pounds and wear see-through spandex and feathers, I figure you're asking for it.
