A brief announcement.

In one of my favorite movies, Real Genius, there is a short scene that applies today. During a montage of shots showing the two main characters hard at work studying, there is scene in a library. Several students are deep into their work, when one stands up and begins screaming. Wordlessly, just venting his stress. He flees the room still screaming, a broken husk of a man.

With that scene in mind, I present my update on Cost Plus at Christmas time, seasonal employees, our beloved customers, and the Forty Niners:

AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! BLEEEEEEAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!! AARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

You forgot to mention that the other students just silently divvy up their departed colleague's study space and keep going...
Must happen a lot.

I was just about to say that...

"I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, when he said, 'I drank what?'"

Actually, someone sat down and took the guy's spot. Now that's courage -- and my favorite part of the scene.
