All I'm Saying there's a joke in here somewhere

Matt and I attended the "Sneak Peek" of the new Cabela's store here in Boise. For those of you who aren't wackadoo outdoors-people, Cabela's is the Mecca of all outdoor gear-heads. They sell boats, fishing rods, guns, clothes, anything you can cover with camoflage fabric (and I'm talking anything from sofas to diaper covers), shoes, tents, sleeping bags, freeze-dried meat and God only knows whatall else.

The big thing about Cabela's stores are their dioramas of stuffed, dead wildlife. They build big fake mountains in the center of the store, and plunk a bunch of taxidermied stuff all over. It's kind of neat, really. Matt and I have been to about three different Cabela's over the years to check them out.

So the big Boise opener is tomorrow, and we got in on the preview. It's...okay. There certainly weren't any bargains available that I could see, but the dead stuff looked neato. Oh, and Freya really enjoyed the giant aquariums full of fish (live, not dead and stuffed). She hollered her little head off while we were looking at the fish--she may have been exhibiting dolphin tendencies. I'm sure the frequencies she uses would have beached a pod or two, had we lived closer to an ocean.

I managed to make it out of there without buying anything. But...I did try on an awesome pair of jeans (yes, they're from Wrangler but they're not cowgirl camel-toe jeans). These things truly fit amazingly well and they made me look super slender. And they're long enough! It's tough having a 33 inch inseam and finding jeans that aren't halfway up my shins every time I sit down. So--awesome jeans. I just found them for $15 less on E-bay, that's all. Sorry, Cabela's. But thanks for the free hors d'oeurves.
