Water Heaters and Homo Depot

First, I love Home Depot! I really wish I had bought the "Homo Depot" tee-shirt when I was in Washington DC. Anyway....

I went to the Depot and bought my 65-gallon water heater. I decided to get a tank due to desperation and cost. When you're in a crunch of sorts, it's not a good time to experiment, in my opinion. I spent two hours getting the one picked out and setting up the installation, which cost as much as the heater itself. I really need to learn to do some of this stuff myself. Total cost (brace for impact) = $700!! *faint*

While waiting for the order to come in to the Service Desk, I wandered around, admiring the local bears in orange aprons. My butch genes were activating, wanting so many power tools I saw, and my gay genes were firing, wanting to redecorate certain rooms in my house after browsing the paint and carpet areas.

*Sigh* If I won the lottery tonight, what awesome things I could do...

Hmm...butch genes and gay genes fighting for control of your body? I wish I could have seen that! :)

What is it about Home Depot that attracts so many hot guys?

The biggest limiting factor for the gene battle is money! It's all dreaming without the cash to back it.

And as for what attracts so many hot guys to Home Depot? I'm not sure, but it just seems to be a place of raw masculinity. It gives you that feeling of ruggedness. Or it could be the butch guys in tight jeans wearing that orange apron! ;)

Ah, yes...the money is always a negating factor with my dreams, too.

I think you're right about Home Depot. There's always this rugged masculinity in the air when I go there. Plus, the hot guys usually don't even know they're hot, which just enhances the effect for me.

Honestly, I could sit in their patio section and just watch the guys work. There was a cute cubby type in the lawn care section that was just adorable.

I guess it's the idea that these are real, blue-collar working guys, which is a big turn-on for me.

I'm with you there...I've always had an appreciation for the blue-collar man. They always seem so simple and uncomplicated.

When you said your gay genes were firing, I was sure you'd say something about the Homo Depot bears you wanted to pork!

LOL! Well, those were firing too! ;)
