This has been maybe 4 or 5 years ago. Jenn had to work the Friday after, and I was at home just enjoying the day off. Eventually I decided I needed a power strip for some reason, and figured I'd just roll to Best Buy to get it, so I could of course go look over other stuff as well.

Now, keep in mind that this is around 3 in the afternoon that Friday. It never even entered my mind that there would be a problem going to Best Buy on that day. I figured the "door buster" sales had been done and gone for at least 8 hours or so by then.

I step into the place and it looks busy, but not overly so. I go seek out the power strip, and go look at some games, when I start to notice something odd. People just standing around on the far side of the store. They're not shopping, they're just standing there. It takes me a while to figure out that these people are standing in line for the register. Only they're not by the registers, they're back by the car audio. If you've ever been in a Best Buy you perhaps have some sense of what this means.

I wander over to look and the register line is at least 150 people deep. They've got them wound around a couple of aisles near the register before the line finally spilled out into the main aisle and tailed back towards the back of the store. And it's not like they just had one register open either; every register is running, and they've got two people actively assigning customers to registers as they're made available. Pretty efficient, and the line is indeed moving at a decent clip.

And yet the size of this line is not getting smaller; if anything it's growing. The sheer number of people in this store wanting to buy whatever just blew my mind. I think I went ahead and suffered the line, because I was sort of afraid at what Wal Mart or Target might look like.

Either way, they fuck like stray cats. You should try to get some of that action. Also, Europeans don't know shit about corn, other than deeming it animal fodder.

You can't handle my complete attention.

Shoot, I doubt I could drink more than 6 in an evening, I've lost my tolerance.

Nov. 23 was my grandmother's birthday. She would have been 90 yesterday.

She's been dead for 23 years, but I still miss her. More, truth be told, than I miss my mom.
