Random Thoughts - Part Deux [NO POLITICS]

in an ironic twist, i keep getting an ad for "click here to stop seeing ad's". so they're advertising for ad blocker...

i walk into menards, and i can see the check out line stretching from the front of the store to close to the back. and they've got 3 registers open. i turned around and left.

nothing is worth this. people are nuts.

What caused them to suddenly line up?

midwesterners. give them a day off work and imply that there's a deal to be had on stuff, and just watch them line up for it. i generally avoid the place on saturday's during deals like this specifically because it's busy, but with the virus thing, it's worse..

no one seems to do any time valuations on personal time anymore. i used to try explaining to my mom that driving 30 minutes out of her way to get $0.05 cheaper gas is not cost effective. people just look at me screwy when i try explaining how my time is worth something, and 11% off even $100 worth of stuff doesn't cover having to stand around in a line for 45 minutes.





remember circuit city? when they declared bankruptcy their inventory got bought by a third party which re-marked everything discounted off MSRP, which was about 30-40% higher than circuit cities original pricing... they had people wrapped all the way around the perimeter with stuff.

i stood around and watched for a good hour, enjoying myself.

May I point out that you also went. Twice! Sure you didn't stay to stand in line but you still went.
You consider waiting in line for 45 minutes a waste of time but stood and watched people standing in line for an hour? You are confusing me.

In that case the govnmt will be stopping by to get a DNA sample. -

And I've heard some get up real early to beat the queues... "Nothing like a bargain first thing in the morning!"

Depends on whether or not you consider her tattooed part - "dressed" -

Can't you reply 400 meter? That would really throw them because you aren't specifying track or pool.
