Memes and things...

As [livejournal.com profile] kengr achieved oneness, and moved on to twoness, he bestowed this meme on me...

More and more questions, because it's a warm day and the Giants game is over. )

What you do with our products is *your* business...

Busy day at the store, sold lots of furniture in between the usual smaller items. As usual, most people were great..

But...

There were these two young women in their early twenties (I carded both of them) buying, among other things, wine and beer. As I was ringing their purchases up, the one who had been on her cell phone since they walked in the store picked up a can of Sapporo beer and exclaimed, in a loud voice

"This would make a great dildo!"

Saturday at Cost Plus means kids. There's Toys'R'Us next door. The line was full of everything from little old German immigrants stocking up on imported foods to families buying deck furniture.

When I quickly asked the moron to please keep her voice down, her only reply was a giggled "Opsie!" When I suggested she apologize to the people behind her she shrugged me off.

I can never drink Sapporo again.

mmmm... spicy...

A few days ago at work, we found a bag of chips that someone had sampled and then stuffed back on the shelf. Just out of curiosity, I tried one.

After running to the break room, and chugging one of the water jugs, I commented that these things were damn good, pity we had to take throw them out (standard procedure for food that gets written off.. so we aren't tempted to just write off freebies.) The hippie manager said for me to take them. She is very cool.

Folks, these things a HOT like I've never had. They are called Blair's Death Rain Cajun Kettle Cooked Potato Chips. I eat salsa with a spoon at times, and these were too hot for me to eat at first! Just finished the bag, with the able assistance of a bottle of MacTarnahan's IPA Oak Aged beer, courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] dafydd

So here I sit, pleasantly buzzed, mouth still burning, playing Hold'em on Yahoo. Good way to spend Saturday night.
