Given the traffic , will share one more ' nugget ' from those days . Good friend not me had his turn as Santa that day . During break , he took off the beard and hat but kept on the suit . We then walked out into the mall weekday , slowish , but in hindsight really wondering wtf were we dong ? and he nips into Crabtree and Evelyn and in a very noticeable fashion steals several items , simply shoving them into Santa ' s big , red pants . Hey , man , what are you doing ? I asked him . In a tone so bitter I can still barely believe it , he looks at me and says are you kidding ? I ' m bulletproof in this fucking costume . They ' re not going to wrestle Santa to the ground on December 20 th and traumatize all the kiddies . <| sep |> Oh . I mainly game but I bought it anyway . $ 35 ain ' t bad and I can always return it . Thanks for the info though ! !
