I’ve Never Been to_____ T-Shirts

So, here I am doing some internet shopping, surfing the www for a cute little top with a lot of flair and personality (and I’m not talking about those stupid new Myspace shirts) when I suddenly make a small discovery of sorts. Not that you care to know, but I’m an impulse buyer and most times I buy things that have a global theme or one that embraces a travel related concept like a bunch of monkeys in a van headed to the beach, a ship sailing the high seas or a giraffe floating up in the sky in a vibrantly colored hot air balloon on a washed out brown colored tee. (I don’t own any of those items.) Anyways here I am visiting one of my favorite sites, Stars and Infinite Darkness when I come across these awesome “I’ve never been to____” tees ($42 USD). There are three from what I can tell and each completes the statement with places like Rhode Island, Paris and Bonfacio. “How cool!” I think.

Seeing how I’ve been a good many places, yet haven’t been to any of the three mentioned I thought these shirts would fit my personality just fine, but before my impulse could click and select my size for purchase I decided to read just a bit more and well found that these “never been” shirts have far more flair than I particularly need. Apparently there is a glow in the dark penis screen printed on the back of each top and perfectly visible when the lights go out. Now why did they think to go and do that? What could have been a great semi-travel related gift just  went out the window for some, but I’m sure many people will buy these nifty tee’s and perhaps no one will notice the glowing phallus on the back.

Just thought to toss it out there for any one looking for a gift for whatever reason these days.

Cabela’s – Wheeling, West Virginia

For the longest R.E.I. was the only outfitter that came to mind when pondering where to go to stock up on outdoor goods, but that has since changed. After breezing through West Virginia for a bite to eat at Cracker Barrel and visit to Cabela’s, I now know of another equally exciting place to gear up on gear. As me and my partners were pulling up into the lot, one of them was schooling us on how world famous Cabela’s was and low and behold there were a few visitors to the area snapping photo after photo. I thought I should snap a few too.

If I had to compare the interior to anything it would be a jungle, a tangled jungle of clothing, fishing equipment, hunting gear and almost anything and everything imaginable for the outdoor enthusiast. Cabela’s is more than just a store. One good walk around the showroom will reveal several small animal displays located throughout the store, but better than anything else is the area called Whitetail country. I’m not a huge fan of hunting, but it was interesting seeing this large display of deer in a realistic re-creation of their natural habitat. The buck doesn’t stop at animal displays though – swing in May 27-28, 2006 for French fries with Cabela’s seasonings.

Cabela’s in Wheeling is located at One Cabela Drive, Triadelphia, WV 26059. For a full listing of stores nationwide click here.
