Christmas Shopping

What I realized while Christmas Shopping today.
  1. Last year it was easy to spend a ton of money at Radio Shack on XMods.  Now that they only have the Transformer XMods it's not nearly as cool.
  2. When you see something called a Transformodifier in a Maverick Convenience store, don't even look twice, it's a really bad rip off of Transformers. 
  3. Something is a mis in the universe because the Kohl's at Jordan Landing looked like a re-creation of my kids bedrooms but the Wal*Mart near my house was clean.
  4. When the cashier says "Did you find this item ok?", how do you answer that politely when the store is a complete disaster (see #3)?  "Sure, I found it ok but I tripped over the mountain of pants, shirts, ties and underwear on the floor during the expedition to find it".  Seriously this place was a disaster.  The only problem was that I didn't have my camera with me.
  5. There are few aisles more entertaining than the "As Seen on TV" aisle at Wal*Mart.  You know the one I'm talking about.  It's usually located next to one of the checkstands in the middle of the store. It never really appears that anything has been purchased from that aisle, except for maybe one of the 1,937 packages of Stride gum that they have there.  Just for the record, I'm getting my wife the "Spin Duster", one of the $1.00 DVD "Collections" and all 18 flavors of Stride Gum for Christmas...shhhh, don't tell her.  The really should just rename it the "All your Christmas Shopping in 40 feet" aisle.
