Why I shouldn't be sent to the store unsupervised...(pics)
on: September 15, 2009, 08:16:14 PM
Hi all,
I'm gonna tell you a story.  Some of you already "heard" this in chat last night but I thought this funny and so did they so I'm gonna share. 
So, yesterday, Kim sent me to the store.  I was sent out specifically to pick up bread, milk, dinner, and a tea kettle.  So, off I go to Wally World. 
At Walmart, I picked up the bread, milk and dinner.  Couldn't find a tea kettle, but I did find an LED upgrade for my mini mag, so I got that.  So, still needing a tea kettle, off I go to Target.  In Target, I couldn't find a tea kettle, but I left there with a new SAK (they'd never had a super tinker before and it was only $15 so...).  Now, I still need a tea kettle, so off I trot to Bed Bath and Beyond (a place that I normally wouldn't set foot in especially if Kim  is with me).  By this time, I'm happy with my toys, but frustrated that I can't find a stupid tea kettle.  So I search the kitchen area of the store..twice.  Can't find the stupid tea kettles and finally ask...low and behold they are right in front of me.  Duh!  So, after I spend about 10 minutes trying to figure out what kind of tea kettle I'm supposed to get (Kim really should be more specific when she sends me out for these things), I finally just grab one and make way through some smelly stuff to the check out.  At the check out...what do I find?  At Bed Bath and Beyond of all places??? A Hammer Multi Tool.  I had to get it just to show you all! 
So, the moral of this little tale, is that I shouldn't be sent to the store by myself.  Kim thought it was hysterical when I sheepishly showed her the toys I'd found.  She did like the tea kettle though.  Apparently it is the "right one".  Incidentally, I've never had one before so when she used it last night and it started screaming, it scared the crap out of me...and the dog.  I think we both barked at it. 
So, here's the pics of the "funky hammer" from Bed Bath and Beyond (I can't get over that) :D

This is why the wife won't let me go to Target alone.  She just doesn't get the allure of colored alox cadets...I'm a sucker for those; that and Swisscards.

It's a hefty little tool...the hammer itself is pretty cool.  I don't know that it could stand some really heavy pounding but it could take a bit.  The pliers are what crack me up.  That little handle that unfolds is really flimsy and wobbles quite a bit.  It also bites into your hand.  It's not a real "quality" tool, but it's neat.

You have plenty of checks... you ordered new ones after using them all within these last two months, remember?
