• Walmart

    From Technobarbarian@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 1 12:02:27 2022
    I went to Walmart for a curbside grocery pickup today. I decided
    that while I was there I might as well pick up some Covid test kits
    since Uncle Sam was payin' for them. So I drove over to the drive
    through for the pharmacy. They told me I needed to come inside to get
    them. They said they thought the limit was 4. After they failed to open
    the little door so I could at least send my cards to them I parked my
    car, put on a KN95 and walked inside. I had assumed that the pharmacy
    was on the same side of the building as their drive through. It isn't.
    When I got to the pharmacy they were expecting me and asked what I
    wanted and why again. I had already explained that I was testing
    positive several times. They took my cards and asked me to wait outside. Eventually they gave me 4 boxes with 2 tests in each box. Just something
    to think about the next time you're shopping in a store with a pharmacy.

    I got up at about 6:00 am. I had eggs and sausage for breakfast then
    went out and did a little yard work before it got too hot. Watched a
    little TV and then did some business housekeeping chores. Now, even
    beyond my belief, I'm sitting here reading the above irrelevant trivia
    of CC&P's less than exciting life activities.

    Anyway, I'll update everyone on my breakfast choice for tomorrow and
    what I will be up to for the rest of the day. I know all will be waiting
    with bated breath.

    Hey. Let me be clear. At the end of the day going forward, I literally
    don't give a damn what you had for breakfast - or lunch, for that
    matter. What I want is listing of your CD collection and a summary of
    your Megafacebutt contributions. It might also be interesting if you
    were to stream your journeys through the Walmart aisles.....with
    narration, of course....and at a minimum of 720p. And for Christ's
    sake, please turn on video stabilization. You literally have no idea
    how annoying and discomfiting that herkyjerky shit can be. Makes me
    want to curl up in a safe space and suck on an organic tofu lollipop.

    Thank you. I'm so sadistic that I enjoy boring you, and any other
    poor fool who feels compelled to read this stuff. I just got a notice
    from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife that it's open season
    for Razor Clams up and down the coast. Shore crabbing will improve significantly soon. And I'm stuck at home for awhile longer. So, as
    usual, I'm expecting all sorts of exciting and dynamic posts. While you
    could be reading Shakespeare or maybe old Mad magazines, instead of my
    nonsense about mucking about for ugly food. And worse. Thank you.

    As promised, here's my update for today. I won't mention what I had for breakfast (Bill said he doesn't care). I may update on my lunch choice
    later. I won't be going to Walmart but I will be visiting the men's
    versions, i.e., Harbor Freight, Lowes and Home Depot. I need to pick up
    a few woodworking tools while some of what I need are on sale. After
    that I'll take a nap to rest up for this evenings activities - wining,
    dining and dancing with the wife. I might even take a Covid test.

    Nah, you're gonna eat what you're gonna eat and I'm gonna eat what I'm

    As to the effectiveness of my naps, it depends if

    I don't have a dog, so that answer is literally not very helpful to
    apply to the calculus of my potential retriangulation of nap metrics.

    Without a dog you should be good for at least a couple of hours if your
    wife respects your nap space.

    I got up at about 6:00 am. I had eggs and sausage for breakfast
    then went out and did a little yard work before it got too hot.
    Watched a little TV and then did some business housekeeping

     Â Â Â Â Â  Thank you. I'm so sadistic that I enjoy
    boring you, and any other poor fool who feels compelled to read
    this stuff. I just got a notice from the Oregon Department of Fish >>>>>> and Wildlife that it's open season for Razor Clams up and down the >>>>>> coast. Shore crabbing will improve significantly soon. And I'm
    stuck at home for awhile longer. So, as usual, I'm expecting all
    sorts of exciting and dynamic posts. While you could be reading
    Shakespeare or maybe old Mad magazines, instead of my nonsense
    about mucking about for ugly food. And worse. Thank you.

    TB

    As promised, here's my update for today. I won't mention what I had
    for breakfast (Bill said he doesn't care). I may update on my lunch
    choice later. I won't be going to Walmart but I will be visiting
    the men's versions, i.e., Harbor Freight, Lowes and Home Depot. I
    need to pick up a few woodworking tools while some of what I need
    are on sale. After that I'll take a nap to rest up for this
    evenings activities - wining, dining and dancing with the wife. I
    might even take a Covid test.

    I also said I didn't care about your lunch, but being a napper
    myself, I'd be interested in how you rate the efficaciousness of
    your naps.


    Then dinner, maybe?

    Nah, you're gonna eat what you're gonna eat and I'm gonna eat what I'm
    gonna eat. However comma if sharing it is essential to your
    well-being, go ahead and share it - I can just skip over it.

    As to the effectiveness of my naps, it depends if
    the dog jumps onto my lap.

    I don't have a dog, so that answer is literally not very helpful to
    apply to the calculus of my potential retriangulation of nap metrics.


    Without a dog you should be good for at least a couple of hours if your
    wife respects your nap space.


    "nap space". Good idea. I hadn't thought of that.

    we do, the personnequins will probably be wearing bib overalls. Snazzy

    Everything old is new again! As a tad, I remember wandering
    through department stores, among those smartly dressed mannequins,
    posed in the joy of painted on, frozen smiles... My favorites,
    were in the "Foundations Dept", where mostly headless, armless,
    black torsos, displayed girdles, garter belts, with their pert
    bosoms encased by multiple hooker brassieres... Oh, the thrill of
    it all! I suspect this is Walmart's retro attempt, to return to
    that fashionable past....

    Their Eastman property will probably feature beefy mannequin gals
    ready for farm work, clad in snazzy bib overalls, highlighted by
    embossed sequins, with plunging necklines?

    If they design them to reflect and attract my Walmart's customers,
    they'll be less beef and more fat.

    Is "cracker" a racist term, an ethnicist term or an unexplainable bias
    against saltines?

    Wikipedia - which is apparently the Gold Standard in here for commonly understood definitions - says it's "a racial epithet directed towards
    white people", although they do pay lip service to "ethnic"....and
    even geographic.

    Oh my oh my. Either you self-misinterpreted me, or I was self-unclear.
    I was just allegedly self-implying that calling a mannequin a
    mannequin - or even a womannequin - could make self-identified woke
    persons uncomfortable. And that just reminded me of "manhole covers".
    Have we banned that designation and renamed those yet?
