I'm not a very ordinary man and I often find myself doing things that others would find strange just to pass the time. One of my favorite things to do is to dress up in nice business attire and pretend to shop. I often pick a foreign alias such as the German accountant, Manfred. I'll ask people questions in a butchered version of English that I assume Germans would use in that particular situation. It's more of a daily respite to keep me from tearing my face off than a hobby. Some would say I'm creepy, but I just say I'm bored.
I just realized that my tab button isn't indenting. HA!
I urge everyone to take part in this wonderful "game." I usually do this with a friend. (Often my buddy, Chip.) To do this, just put on any disguise. I use pleated black dress pants, black leather loafers, a nice leather belt (black), a light lavender (long sleeve) collared and buttoned shirt with tiny white pin stripes, a black tie, large prescription glasses (acquired through unspeakable acts at my former college), a military duster (dark gray. almost black), and sometimes a driver cap. Give it a try, it's pretty fun. Just don't be embarrassed and ditch out of the act in the middle of the store. It's much more embarrassing than the actual disguise. :)
