Wal Mart

[smurphy]

In my agnostic years, every road led to a dead end because logic and science (which I used to preach to my former priest -- a good friend -- and several others) would always come to the same place. There still has to be something else to start it.

Whether I investigate the universe through science or God, I reach that same conclusion. Probably, South Park is correct and it will be only the Mormons who get to heaven.

Don't agnostics believe in the possibility of God? Therefore, anything is possible. I wouldn't be surprised at any post-life outcome. I just hope there's comedy involved. RIP Mitch Hedberg.

Great story - The Prodigal Dawgball.

A couple of comments. First, Wal-Mart is positioning (read: buying land) themselves to come into our relatively smaller town (7K or so) and it is quite the subject. The stepson comes home every day with a new take (from school, more than one teacher) on what is bad with the company. It's getting on my nerves...the kid is 12. I think that is probably appropriate for a social studies class at an older level, but a personal campaign against them is a bit much for kids, I think. They don't fully grasp all of the details, ramifications, etc., and just get the "Wal-Mart" is bad idea. Of course, the boy would gladly stroll into the local Pamida (discount house) and buy the same toy made in China or pack of cards at 10% higher cost and think nothing of it. It's just a little concerning to me...probably something to take up with the teacher, if I'm such a concerned parent, eh?!?

On the clientele of Wal-Mart/Target...I personally stop at a Super Target about once a week to pick up some groceries and other stuff. I work in a pretty affluent area and I am amazed at the babes that shop in that store. I see no fewer than 20 hot babes in that place every time I stop, and I end up paying probably 10% more (at least) for my groceries because I go there. Older ones, younger ones, moms, daughters (18+, of course...) and even employees for crying out loud.

And I will continue. Something very stimulating about shopping with a bunch of hotties. Worth the cost to me.

We'll take care of things, Al, don't worry about a thing.

Plus, one good thing is your health care should be taken care of by the government when Hillary gets elected.

I totally agree with the Target/hot women take. It's amazing. If a Wal-Mart and Target are right next to each other, all the fatties will be in Wal-Mart saving 2% and all the cute ones will be in Target attracting my patronage.

Honestly though - "18+, of course"...what are you checking their ages? I remember asking this nice looking young lady out when I was 23, thinking she was probably about 19-21. She replied - "Well, I'm 13 so that's probably not a good idea."..I quickly concurred and pretended that moment never happened.

Sure, it's spelled "FOOTBALL WAGERING IS YOUR RETIREMENT PLAN" ....'Saul', for short. Is Eddie going to draft the will? Tell him I want the Scottsdale palace.

I totally agree with the Target/hot women take. It's amazing.

i must be going to the wrong target....or i need to have my eyes checked.....but around here the personell at both stores are not much different....

 

[AR182]

saul.....

i haven't seen a post by eddie in some time...he must be busy in court....but sure i could use him to draft up the will.....

 

[Chadman]

smurphy, I'm not checking their ages, I am just protecting myself and Jack from the NJ forum police regarding me checking out anything less than 18 year olds.

AR182, I am not kidding when I say that at this Target, there are at least 3-4 checkers every single time that I would not spending time with. It's the same at another one in another nearby city, too. Unreal. Must be a management training thing.

I absolutely loathe people who unknowingly jump on the "Wal-mart will be bad for this town" bandwagon. Wal-Mart certainly has its issues, but it has done a great service for this country, in my opinion. That service definitely has a price tag.

Does anyone realize that if Sammy was still kickin' it down in Ar-Kansas, he would be richer than Gates and Paul Allen (#3, Forbes 400 -- Microsoft's lesser known co-founder) together. That's a whole lot of money!

As I said I don't go to Walmart often but do like fact it open 24 hours for most pary--Got a funny (not then) story to share.
I drive to town of Madisonvile once a week--leave bout 5am and get there about 6:30 am. Several years ago was driving up there and WKY parkway had construction on one lane. Got one of those hideous pains in my stomach -the one where you have to stop NOW!. Pulled off in lane under construction open my trunk and got a golf towel to wipe with and bolted for the brush near by. Pitch dark this time of morning--and stepped off in hole they had dug out filled with water up to my neck.Dried off with towel best I could and since I was closer to Madisonville decided to on an stop at Walmart there (only thing open) and buy clothes and take shower at hotel. Walked in to walmart soaked and muddy (plus I shit in my pants when I stepped of in hole). No on one ever said a word--just looked at me very strange as there was trail of water every where I walked.
To add insult to injury--after I stepped in hole and got back in my car I didn't drive but about 200 yards over crest of hill and there was blue porto pot sitting in consrtuction area. Just wasn't my day.

 

[dawgball]

That's an awesome story! I imagine noone really thought you were out of place when you walked into Wal-Mart. They probably thought you were showing up for a shift.

lol- funny story.

I have one of my own in this vein.

I was 15 or 16 and about ten guys from our church group named 'Campus Life' (that's right Dawgball-church group) went on a trip from where I grew up in Indiana to Orlando.

The Church group leader drove us down in an RV (which broke down twice on the way there, but is beside the point).

Four of us actually connect with these 4 chicks from Dalton(will always remember the name of the city), GA at a restaurant. Our 'leader' wasn't around for that dinner and we made arrangements for us guys to go see them at their hotel, which was right next to ours (and the restaurant for that matter).

We go there and the most 'racy' thing that happens is that one of them flashed us her tits. We enjoyed that.

Then things get pared down to two of us 'couples', (me and this little Georgia peach cutie included) and we decide to ditch everyone else and walk back to us guys hotel for (hopefully) some action. The four of us. 2 guys and 2 girls.

It was probably 200 yards to our hotel, but it might as well been 2 miles. Along the way, I have major 'cramps' from the dinner.

There are some woods to the side and I tell the other 3 that I have to take a leak. Keep in mind that we had not been drinking alcohol and it made little sense why this would be so urgent when we were a 3 minute walk to the hotel.

By the time I can get to the woods out of sight, I couldn't hold it. It was impressively disgusting. I went on myself, tried to clean up, but man...it stunk.

I came back to the road where they were waiting and said that I stumbled and fell in a pile of dog crap. I had to have *some* explanation as I was covered in my own stuff and stank like a sewer.

That excuse did not fly, apparently, as the girls did come into our room briefly, and took off after about 5 minutes.

My buddy still has never forgiven me entirely.

Hmm. My Target has the hot women, but so does my Walmart. No kidding!

But the Walmart babes are dumber. I bought an "oversized" driver at Walmart, but the clerk had trouble scanning it using the UPC bar code. So, she tried to enter the info from the tag manually.

"Let's see," she said, "G-O-F-E," entering the letters on the keyboard while she was pronouncing them aloud. The computer just beeped at her, "error, error." She tried it again, using the same spelling. Nothing.

Finally, I said, "Its G-O-L-F. That's how golf is spelled."

"Oh, thank you," she said, smiling.

I got her number.
