Local Best Buy - Not Real Bright

Went to my local Best Buy yesterday evening - about 5:30 pm or so.

I went to purchase the new Chickenfoot DVD.

Looked in the DVD music section - not there.

Went to the New Releases area - not there.

Checked the CD area - found many Chickenfoot CDs - but no new concert DVD.

Finally found someone to help. He tried to sell me the special CD/DVD that came out late last year - I pointed out, wrong name and that was released in 2009.

He checked the computer again - ahh - they have 5 DVDs and 3 Blue Ray DVD's in stock.

He went in back to see if they were STILL THERE - WHAT?

About 5 minutes later he returned, with them in their hands.

He did look ashamed - he said "We are the exclusive provider and we cannot even get them on the shelves."

Nevertheless, I purchased my DVD and left the store.

Maybe tonight I will be able to watch some of the concert.

LESSON

If you cannot find the DVD at Best Buy - ASK - they probably still have them in back.

My weather was nice - unlike yours.

I saw the new Godsmack - in the new section and regular section.

I may get it from iTunes - haven't decided yet.

But geeze Best Buy - get on the ball.

You would think a nice display - end cap would be nice.

Not having a Best Buy is probably a good / and a bad thing.

Dude, Do I Smell White Castle?

by Eric Burkett -

“Hey, what's that smell?”

“What smell? Kumar...”

White Castle, the iconic hamburger chain that inspired stoners everywhere with its title role in the movie “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle” has just released a scented candle. Hamburger-scented, of course.

Mind you, this is the same company that sells burger-scented air fresheners so, in some bizarrely cosmic twist of logic, this makes sense. And even if it doesn’t make sense, at least the proceeds are going to a good cause.

The burger chain has partnered with Nest Fragrances founder Laura Slatkin, designer of fragrances for Vera Wang, Elton John, and Princess Diana, to create a truly distinctive scent.

Described by one industry magazine as “the steam-grilled-on-a-bed-of-onions scent of America's first fast food hamburger” the candles are being offered throughout the month of May for 10 bucks. The proceeds support Autism Speaks which raises funds for autism research and advocacy.

Long time no hear (read) from you.

My neck of the world is still Blackhawk country - many years ago I kinda followed them, then for me, they fell off the map. But they are back and so am I. I guess, I am a bandwagon jumper - but I am fine with that. But not so much of a fan that I purchased anything of the Hawks or their championship.

TALK ABOUT BIG LITTLE WORDS

THIS HAS TO BE THE BIGGEST

Think about it.

UP

Read until the end.....you'll laugh....

This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?

At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?

Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?

We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.

We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car.

At other times this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.

To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.

We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP !

To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary.. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions

If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP .

When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it soaks UP the earth.

When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP.

One could go on & on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now ........my time is UP !

Oh....one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night?

U P !

Did that one crack you UP?

Don't screw UP. Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book..or not...it's UP to you.

Now I'll shut UP

An Israeli doctor says,

"Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks."

A German doctor says,

"That is nothing; we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks."

A Russian doctor says.

"In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks."

An ILLINOIS doctor, says.

"You guys are way behind. We recently took a man with no brains out of ILLINOIS, put him in the White House and within SIX MONTHS, half the COUNTRY is looking for work."

Yes - that UP story was a good one.

WHEN I SAY I'M BROKE - I'M BROKE!

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

'Good morning,' said the young man. 'If I could take a couple minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners... "

"Go away!' said the old lady. ''I'm broke and haven't got any money!'' and she proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open...

''Don't be too hasty!'' he said. ''Not until you have at least seen my demonstration.''

And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet.

''Now, if this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horsemanure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder!''

This will drive you up the wall!!

And please don't ask me how this works because I really don't know.

86,400 TICKS

Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest:

Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private account for your use.

However,this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules.

The first set of rules:

Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.

You may not simply transfer money into some other account.

You may only spend it.

Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day.

The second set of rules:

The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, its over,the game is over!

It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.

What would you personally do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right?

Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right?

Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right?

You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?

ACTUALLY, this GAME is REALITY!

Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just can't seem to see it.

The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!

Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.

What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost.

Yesterday is forever gone.

Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.

SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?

Aren't they worth so much more than the same amount in dollars?

Think about that, and always think of this: Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.

So take care of yourself, be Happy, Love Deeply and enjoy life!

Here's wishing you a wonderfully beautiful day!!!

There is a trick apparently - it goes by color and number. Some of the numbers shown later, where you pick the color where your number resides - has numbers which are irrelevant.

That is what someone tried to explain to me - and I tried to pass on earlier today.

You did a much better explanation.

How to open a wine bottle with a shoe - WTF?

Not sure what is being said - but pretty neat. Not going to try it myself though.

Very cool - too much time on their hands, I think.
