MAde my annual pilgrimage to Wallyworld today

[IronWing]

As they do every year, my parents gave me a Walmart gift card. So I made my annual trip to Walmart (yes, I am one of those people who are simply too good for Walmart). I thought I'd buy more Christmas lights. They were sold out. The week before Christmas and the most advanced merchandiser in the history of the multiverse is out of Christmas lights!!! I am disillusioned.

On a side note I did get to nudge a pair of black clad, purple haired youths back onto the path of righteousness. They were sitting on a bench in the middle of the store (I don't know why that bench is there other than to lead youths into temptation) sucking face and groping each other. As I passed I mentioned to Mrs. Ironwing in a voice that carried that that is how babies happen. The youths sort of froze in their passions. Score one for the meddling busybody geezers.

Making out in Walmart = most classy thing ever

so you are the one who made that snide comment.

i couldn't have felt more ashamed and confused, though I guess not more than that time that cop knocked on the door when we were in the back seat.

A close second to that is being too good for Walmart... unless you have a GC

Sadly, there are many towns in the US where going to walmart is about the only thing to do. That was probably their official date.

I would have donated the gift card to a charity.

Last year they had way too many left over after xmas. I cleaned up on new led lights from walmart last year after Christmas. So they either ordered fewer of them this year, or people are making up for not buying last year.

Once our mall closes at 9, Walmart is all we have.

It is rather fun if you know how to work the system, such as Cart Derbies in the store....

I once went to walmart without any shoes or socks on...lowest point of my life.
