Rhonda
Everyone has been posting photos of their new puppy or pussy or gay lover or whatnot -- so I thought I would post a photo of Rhonda. She's my granny cart.
After years of trekking twenty bags of groceries down the street from Fucking Safeway®, I finally succumbed. Of course I found out she's not big enough to haul all of it, but it will have to do for now.
I am perfectly comfortable with my sexuality, so pushing Rhonda down the street is very manly to me. It takes a strong man to admit that, sometimes, he does need a little help. Plus, I can now stop and chat. I can wave and smile at babies. I can pop into JR's with Rhonda and do a little browsing. It's a win, win, win.
This means, since I walk everywhere, I won't be exposed to all the rude drivers in DC -- except when they try to run me over, of course. And usually this happens cuz they're talking or texting on their cell phones while driving - which is illegal in DC, people! Stop it.

Now I wished I had voted for you in BrettCajun's poll!

Wow - you're a lot shorter than I had pictured. But size doesn't matter. And your hair is so ... yellow.

Wow...the irony.
I have been talking about getting one of these for months now. I wonder if I could hook that sucker up to the back of my motorcycle?

In Jersey City, they would call Rhonda a Hoboken Cadillac.

You could always PULL Rhonda... I mean if you have the SLIGHTEST bit of hesitance regarding your manliness. For some reason pulling the cart seems less delicate than pushing. Plus you can pull with just one hand, leaving the other for baby waving.

Welcome to the club! Wish my old-lady cart was that nice... I got mine at Safeway so it just does the bare minimum. The ones at the Container store are Caddies, where did you get yours?

Does your Safeway (our Dominick's) have the little clips on the front of the shopping cart where you can hang her while you're shopping?
DB: You mean I was supposed to put her away while shopping? I just dragged her around the store as my grocery cart -- killing 2 birds with one stone!

It's not that you have one; it's that you gave it a name.

I got one of those...it's blue, I bought it at the hardware store directly across the street from the Soviet Fucking Safeway. Maybe we'll see each other carting around groceries. It is really easier when carrying potatoes and Tide, and a 12-pack of Pepsi.

LOL That made me laugh. I have a similar cart but for lugging my laundry up/down a hill.

You are way too young to be making Beach Boys references.

Well, the cart is fine... the doll on the back of the cart? Eh, not so much.
Help me, Rhonda--- get her out of my CART??

Hee hee, awwwww that's cute TJ. We bought one for my mother-in-law last year for her farmer's market trips. She uses it as a weapon to push everyone out of the way. Although she tries to be polite, she ends up fierecely yelling (w/ her thick Italian accent) "Essscuse me, Esssscuuuse me", jamming it into everyone's ankles.
I think you should pimp it out a little bit. Spray paint it, put one of those little license plates with your name on it, put on some jacked up wheels, add a horn too.
