An enlightening visit to Best Buy

[Motasyco]

I was in a Best Buy store today and thought I'd pick up a copy of Red Dawn. My wife doesn't recall ever seeing it. After browsing the shelves for a few minutes an employee in the video department approached me and asked if she could help me. I explained that I was looking for a copy of Red Dawn. She said she wasn't familiar with it but she would look it up for me. We went to her computer terminal and she typed in "Red Don". I corrected her and spelled out d-a-w-n for her. She found a listing and it showed out of stock. She appologized for not having it and asked what it was about. I replied that it was about a Russian invasion of the United States. She said "Oh, is it a true story"? Of course I responded "yes".

What are our kids learning in school these days?

sounds like a scene from "Jaywalking"

HAHA I just about fell out of my chair when I read that.

Man I think you have to fail a test or something to get a job at Best Buy. I love that place, and the prices are usually really good, but it hurts to talk to some of those people.

By the way, Wal Mart has Red Dawn in a 2 pack with Navy Seals for $5 in the bargain bin.

She must've been a honey with smarts like that!

Edit: When she ask if it was a true story,you should've said "you don't remember when they invaded Georgia last year?"

How to put a rubber on a banana and why it is ok for Bob to marry Joe.

I really want to say something profound but words escape me.

If you want to celebrate the Swayze get a copy of Road House, but it's usually on cable about 98 times a year.

[TripleDigitRide]

Was she hot?

Thanks, that makes my day.

oldogy, what about the offense to bananas?

She was not.

She's seen Roadhouse. Numerous times. Good flick and good suggestion though. This is more about celebrating gunfire than it is about celebrating Swayze. Wolverines!

I always thought Red Don was a movie about a teed off mob boss.HHAAARRR:screwy:

I don't think anyone has mentioned "Next of Kin". Possibly my favorite Swayze movie...you gotta love a bunch of good ole boys coming down from the hills to take on the Cosa Nostra

Hahaha, this reminds me of when I used to wait tables in college. A lady once asked a fellow waiter "What's the soup of the day?" to which he, being an eternal wise-guy, replied "It's the soup du jour." She replied "Oooh, that sounds good - I'll have that!"...

[Guest Caveman]

That is awesome that you posted that. I watched Red Dawn at work today (yes I have a very easy job)

[Guest Jcochran88]

She must of been one of those that thought when Russia invaded Georgia they where in Atlanta!!

If I remember correctly, Next of Kin was about celebrating archery or am I thinking of something else?

Archery, guns, knives. Next of Kin has it all.

I was at a Target store in Austin last week purchasing a TomTom. (Those roads couldn't be any more confusing) As the girl was ringing up my purchase I asked her if it included an AC adapter.

She said that I didn't need it because it takes AC power to run it....because it plugs in to the wall....

Just as my wife opened her mouth to argue I said "Thank you" and walked away. It's just not worth arguing with stupid.

Hey Flo! Maybe you got that from "Dumb and Dumber"

Haha, no, I was in college before Dumb and Dumber came out.

Just messing with ya. Anytime I can work in a "Dumb and Dumber" or a "Dumb and Dumberer" reference, my day is made!

Their prices are ok depending on what you're looking for. Just like most retailers they have a stupidly usurious markup on cables. "Hmmm. $81 for their HDMI cable, or I can go over here and buy a cable that will function every bit as well for $4. Or if you insist on the deluxe version, $10.
