My wife asked if I wanted to shop today. She indulged my football viewing yesterday so I was about to agree, when she said, “the stores open at 4:00 AM.” WTF!!!??
Needless to say, I’ve been reading blogs since 5:00 AM, and she got up at 7:30.
Common sense prevails!

Not to promote a stereotype but aren’t all the women on the ground blonds? Just sayin’

Another OT:
The 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit(SOC) has deployed to Bengladesh to assist in relief operations.
http://usmc.mil/22ndmeu/HA_Ops/Releases_relief_ops.htm
The 22nd is the theater reserve for Central Command, and is on a six month deployment.
My son, Matt the Marine is on board the Kearsarge.

The missus went to the local Sam’s club at 3:30 to snatch up a Wii for the wee ones. Very orderly process, very congenial crowd. An Indian gentleman was at the head of the line and organized a very tidy queue with Post-It Notes as Sam’s personnel distributed hot chocolate. Everyone honored the line system and everyone, as it turned out, got their Wii/plasma TV/etc. A libertarian dream in terms of rational, spontaneous organization.

I don’t go anywhere today. My husband is working today (DAMN Capitalist OPPRESSORS) and kinda bored.
I don’t even have any left over turkey. I went to my sister’s, while my half-brother and wife and friend came to my house to have dinner with my dad. He took the turkey, and left all the pans, mess, for me to clean.
I’m not happy.
Comment by Dan Collins on 11/23 @ 10:12 am #
I’m sorry, Carin. If you were on Facebook, I’d send you some virtual turkey.

I just like the picture. Athletic women in skimpy outfits PLUS an accident. Sexiness n’ racing all in one. Mmmm.
What?

I got to Circuit City at 5. The line to get in the store extended 5 storefronts down. The line to checkout snaked through the entire store. And of course, the item I specifically came for was no where to be found: “The Office” Season 2.
My wife is just going to have to make due with “House.” I’ll be damned if I got up and dragged my ass out that early for nothing.

Hey JeffG…
Season Two
Merry Christmas.

Good lord! What have we got there, about 2% body fat on average? No decent plot devices among the bunch of them, although the young lady behind #73 looks like she may be packin’ a pompatus.
Comment by TmjUtah on 11/23 @ 1:54 pm #
Out the door at five, left the Goddesses behind getting ready for their own safari.
Lines in front of Best Buy (personal aside: NOT truth in advertising), Circuit City, CompUSA, Toys R’Us. Big5 opened at 5:55, I got there at six fifteen and the manager gave me the discount price on an M91/59 that is just too pretty to let pass. All registers were humming and the line to checkout was about halfway back into the main aisle of the store.
I filled out the paperwork and came back at nine, when the background check folks were finally at work, to settle up and pick up some gifts for my nephews.
A very low stress evolution. The Goddesses and the OTL had a pretty mellow time, too. Lots of smiling faces. The traffic was not the cast iron bitch that we had feared.

My mother-in-law wanted to avoid the “traditional” stores on the day after Thanksgiving, so we went to Stockdale’s — a store that seems like a cross between Sears and Tractor Supply, and so untraditional that Google denies its existence — and Ace Hardware.
My mother-in-law is the coolest.

We went shopping but just Target just to be a part and cause we are good Americans but it was weird – not particularly rambunctious and we went to Latino Target in like North Hollywood cause we thought that would be more festive but that didn’t pan out at all. The store looked way too good – usually it’s trashed and has lots of crazy stuff you get the feeling the other Targets wanted to off-load and it’s kind of funny how nothing is where it’s supposed to be. We found a collection of hanukkah doggie stuff like a stuffed bone that said kosher on it and hanukkah doggie dishes and stuff. Also a you’ve-got-to-be kidding paint-your-own menorah kit but mostly it was not tailored to the tastes of the Jewish consumer – which would be the girl I was shopping with not me. She was doing a hanukkah inventory for no real reason. Other than that it was a Target and the only adventure part I had was at the end when I read the sign that says if you take your cart across the yellow line the wheels will lock and that was kind of fun. Locks right up.
Also I learned how to pronounce damask.

But surely you knew that from Sonnet 130. Also, you never respond to my Facebook provocations.
Comment by B Moe on 11/23 @ 5:30 pm #
…a store that seems like a cross between Sears and Tractor Supply, and so untraditional that Google denies its existence…
Did you try Googling “Valhalla”?
Comment by happyfeet on 11/23 @ 5:31 pm #
Good catch. I kind of should have know that. I’m on the facebook – last night I had to do that thing where I’m the computer help line because no one really understands what I do but they know computers are involved so they think I’m geeks-to-go or whatever. I resent that kind of but I help anyway because it’s just gotten to be so serious for people when their computer doesn’t work. Anyway I was hating on computers for awhile but now I feel stronger.
Hey – the movie one doesn’t work – it says I have already taken that one and it only will let me compare with Liz and JD. (They are my only other friends.) But what I can tell you is that 1408 sucked, even though it started off promisingly. You couldn’t get away from the fact that John Cusack was just hard to look at. Not enough makeup in the world for that guy and our theory was they had to make the character an alcoholic for the movie and make it like John was just looking like that for the role. But you could tell.
Comment by Dan Collins on 11/23 @ 5:36 pm #
Hmmm. Well, I’ll try and send you that movie one again. Flixter, right?
Comment by happyfeet on 11/23 @ 5:38 pm #
Flixter – it’s balking.
Comment by happyfeet on 11/23 @ 5:54 pm #
It worked when I went to your page and tried from there, which was different from the link that got sent.
Comment by McGehee on 11/23 @ 6:02 pm #
B Moe: No, but I should’ve. Stockdale’s.
I didn’t find that by Googling Valhalla. I’m just saying, I should’ve Googled Valhalla.
Comment by Dan Collins on 11/23 @ 6:35 pm #
Is 1408 based on a Nick Hornsby novel?
Comment by happyfeet on 11/23 @ 6:38 pm #
I think it’s a Steven King. Nick Hornsby has a new book out though for teens called Slam or something NPR told me and he read some of it and it made me itch so I had to turn it off.

Thanks for that pic, hero-Dan. It motivated me to venture out any get me one of them six-packs.

Spent thanksgiving home sick with flu. Did get to call family & friends, though.
I’m usually mega-deal-dude, but this years black friday isn’t so hot anyway.
If I’d known it was going to look like that picture, though, I would have made it out.
I ain’t say I like ‘em four spaces over on the skinny side of thin, I’m just sayin’ ain’t nothin’ in that picture didn’t look all kinds o’ tasty.
Then again, maybe that’s the flu talking, ’cause when I see a bunch of athletes falling down, I don’t normally think “a little scented oil is all that scene needs.”
