Spray Paint, hangers, a mop and Goo Gone

If you need to buy the four above-mentioned items in LA, Walmart is your best bet. Ralphs would have most of it, but they wouldn't have hangers, maybe the spraypaint.

I had no idea where Walmart was, so my wife googled it. Excited, she tells me it's on Crenshaw.

If you're as puzzled as I was as to why she was so stoked that we were going to south Crenshaw, Jami strongly recommends that you give a listen to Dr. Dre's The Chronic.

We knew we were in the right neighborhood when we passed two rim places, and a gold grill joint (we're both being fitted this weekend).

The Walmart was awesome. It had three levels and offered a wide variety of name-brand products such as Goo Gone, for substantially lower prices. I love Walmart*.

I was slightly surprised when we got to the hardware section. The spray paint was in a locked glass cabinet, like liquor or small electronics.

The large black lady that unlocked the cabinet for us was fantastic.

Her: What are you makin?

Jami: We're touching up a mannaquin that we're selling on Ebay.

Her: You go baby!

Jami: ...then we're gonna go tag some bridges.

Her: Ohhhh, that's right! (big laugh)

The other thing I noticed on our trip south...the gas difference. Gas in Hollywood is $2.99-$3.15 depending on where you go. I saw gas for $2.65 on south Crenshaw. I don't have a joke or anything here, that's just some damn cheap gas in these parts.


*This is troll bait. If you fired me an email telling me how terrible Walmart is, you're a raging toolbag. Being really good at inventory control isn't a crime. And if you want to cry about health insurance, do an ounce of fucking research first.

No beer and no TV make Homer something something

No internet for almost three weeks. I'll be posting this weekend. All hell will break loose. Internet cafes in LA are WEIRD.
