So Saturday afternoon the wife decides she wants to drive about an hour to the second closest Walmart to relace a pair of shoes that the dog ate (the one 5 minutes from us didn't have that style or something). So I decide to go along just for the hell of it, and check out the toy situation. Get to Walmart - nothing. Absolutely nothing. But I did get a Black & Decker cordless weed whacker for $65 and a couple of $1 clearance rifle slings. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
So onto the Zellers just up the street from that Walmart. Walk down the first toy aisle, and low & behold, something I've been looking for since I first heard of it - Darth Tater. For $10. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
So before we head back home I decide to go into the Jumbo Video across from the Zellers. I go in, and their action figure display isn't there, so I look at the previously played games. Look around agai, and realize they moved the figure rack. This was the first time I'd seen Sin City figures in person (had all 6 B&W), so I grabbed Nancy & Marv ($16.65 each - not bad). And I grabbed Darkman and Toxic Avenger from SOTA's Now Playing line for, get this - $7.99 CDN. Couldn't pass them up at that price.
INTERLUDE.......................
So I get back home and check out the 2 comic shops in town. One got in the Sin City figures ($19 each, so I passed) and the Neca Reel Toys figs ($15 each - might have to go back and get Jason). The other shop got in Monsters 4, and I only grabbed Red (I would have gotten Gretel too, but I didn't like the paint apps on the stockings).
So, in conclusion, weed whacker, slings, Darth Tater, Marv, Nancy, Darkman, Toxie, Red.
...I bought some food. Oh, and a carton of cigarettes. The truck, on the other hand, is getting new brake pads, and shoes, and shocks, and possibly more. My truck is a woman...and she apparently got the (wrong) impression that I had extra money...and she thinks we are married. -_- 'nuff said.

...I suppose I have to admit that she has treated me better than most women, however...I mean, she's never just stopped in the middle of the highway, thrown me out of the cab and gone home alone...
...she doesn't bitch when I look at other trucks...
...she doesn't mind when I want to do something really filthy with her...like haul off garbage...
...she doesn't ask me if the her license plate makes her ass look big...
...so all in all... [img]wink.gif[/img]

You can look under the hood any time...
She loves it when you utter the phrase, "Fill 'er up"...
She doesn't mind if other women share the ride...
She's okay with being your personal chauffeur... it's her job... [img]wink.gif[/img]
I bought Darth Tater a couple of week back... It's such a sweet toy [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] Nice haul!
cool score, bud!
that's a good deal on the whacker.
we need a new one, since the church's shed got broken into, and some fuck stole the lawnmower, snowblower, and both whackers.
they got me a new mower, but that's it.
$65, I could probably get them to cough up.
and I have yet to see ANY of those movie figs here...but I don't get out to the toy stores much...what with the beer store being so much closer... [img]wink.gif[/img]
I can actually picture Wolvie trying to go to the toy store, but being sucked into the booze store by a strong vacuum... [img]wink.gif[/img]
that's pretty much what happens.
fr'instance...
I got a $40 tip on Saturday night.
I have $25 left, and nothing to show for it, except this ONE beer I'm having now.
and I gotta pick up another pouch of tabacky today. right by the liquor store.
I had PLANNED to pick up 2 more Sideshow Universal Monsters figs... [img]redface.gif[/img]
