Boycotting

It's Saturday, and you know what that means.......OMA DAY!!!!!!!! Good lord, she came up with a good one while at the produce store.


Looking at beer, wanting to get a 6-pack for my uncle, she sees the brand Alaska...

O: I'm not going to buy anything from Alaska. I don't want that lady to get rich off of my money.
M: Why? What's the big deal??
O: I hate the bitchy bitch.
Refering to Sarah Palin, incase you didn't get that.
Looking at another kind of beer...
O: Where's this one from?
M: Alaska.
Glare from Oma

M: I'm joking....Oregon. Is Alaska your new China?

Oma fake elbows me.

O: I'll get the one from Texas.
M: What's wrong with the one from Oregon? Is it too close to Alaska?

China...Oma doesn't like anything from China, especially after that melamine/toxic pet food issue. She refuses to buy any food items from China, and Mexico a little iffy too. Every once in a while, she'll be picky about actual physical items from China too, that she won't use.

Prime example: her new toothbrush.

Oma bought a new toothbrush a couple of weeks ago. A Butler toothbrush, to be precise. She opted to go with Butler because they had a factory on Foster, not too far from Oma's house in Chicago (just past the Venture (which turned into a KMart) just after the bridge for the 94 bridge, on the northeast side...if you want to know). So Oma felt confident she was buying quality. After Oma brought the toothbrush home, she saw on the packaging, it was not from Chicago, or even the USA...it was made in CHINA!!!! She kept the brush, showed it to me, asked if I remember the factory in Chicago, and was mad that the toothbrush was made in China. She eventually threw out the toothbrush...now she's on a quest to find a toothbrush made in the USA...or Europe, Europe is okay too.

Oma is also Command Central for all things Michael Jackson at the moment. If you have any questions, let me know...I'll get first hand info for you, along with any of Oma's personal conspiracies.

Rock out in the USA.
