Overheard

The other day, as I was returning home from school, I took a shortcut through Kings Place Mall. In case you've never been there, it's a very small mall with just a smattering of stores. Anyhow, on my way out, I met a thin, headbanger-looking dude with a mullet. He slumped along, with a greasy ballcap atop his equally greasy hair, and skintight faded blue jeans thinly covering his scrawny physique. Behind him strolled a large, unkempt woman in stirrup pants and a trés 80s studded denim jacket.

The woman looked around at the drug store, the pub, and the travel agency, then said to Mullet Man, "Whoa. This is a cool mall!"

Mullet Man nodded voraciously. "Yeah!" he agreed.

I'm wondering just how small a town someone has to come from and just how sheltered a life someone's lived to be impressed by Kings Place. West Edmonton might cause them to go into nuclear meltdown....
