i spend WAY to much time at the local Wally World

[lilredwolph]

well last night was my weekly trip to Wally World, needed cat & dog food, a concert outfit for my son and still had an hour to kill before i had to pick up my son from practice. so off to hardware i went, didn't find anything there that i don't already have except 100' of ¼" sisal rope for under $4, gotta love the scratchiness of sisal, so i grabbed that and went to sporting goods. there i found these little bitty tennis balls w/ smilie faces on them, perfect for a rousing game of fetch. then i strolled thru the fishing supplies, i picked up some sinkers ( ¼oz., 3/8oz., ½oz., & 1 oz.), 3 packs of interlock barrel swivles (how else would i get the sinkers attached to my nipple rings? ) and a package of heavy duty leaders which are 18" long and will reach from my nipple rings to my clit, should make things like standing up straight interesting.

then off to the craft dept. where i found these small wooden paddle shaped things, that i am going to turn into party favors for my local groups next play party

don't you just love Walmart?

 

[MissTaken]

Yep, Walmart has some very cool stuff.

However, scooter and I went to a marine store with all sorts of boat stuff.

Wooweeee, I nearly got wet walking down the aisle with all the rope and hook thingies.

Personaly... I enjoy the home improvement stores like HomeDepot and Lowes... I see SO many things that I could use in fun ways other than intended.... though some require a bit of assembly in the wood shop first

Hmmmmm One of lifes great secrets- try the oldest hardware store you can find... The really old one that still carries everything in the known universe. You will be AMAZED at some of the stuff on their shelves.

Mmmmmm...well we might need to go on a shopping trip for a new brush soon if my thoughts about my brush disappearing today don't disappear. Sure has made me think twice about not acting on unexplained head messages which tell me to take his brush from the bathrooom to bedroom, then ignore. Without warning he decided a hairbrush treatment was a good bedtime reward for good behaviour and as mine was the only one in the room, it was the weapon of choice. Ouch!! That thing is far more severe than his own, drew blood in no time, visited many body parts, then was added to with a nice all over caning. Needless to say I slept well (exhaustion is a wonderful sedative) and am moving rather carefully today, especially when I want to sit.

"Is Wal-Mart Good for America?"

That is the headline on a New York Times story about
the country's largest retailer. The very idea that
third parties should be deciding whether a particular
business is good for the whole country shows
incredible chutzpa.

The people who shop at Wal-Mart can decide whether
that is good for them or not. But the intelligentsia
are worried about something called Wal-Mart's "market
power."

Apparently this giant chain sells 30 percent of all
the disposable diapers in the country and the Times
reporter refers to the prospect of "Wal-Mart amassing
even more market power."

Just what "power" does a sales percentage represent?
Not one of the people who bought their disposable
diapers at Wal-Mart was forced to do so. I can't
remember ever having bought anything from Wal-Mart and
there is not the slightest thing that they can do to
make me.

The misleading use of words constitutes a large part
of what is called anti-trust law. "Market power" is
just one of those misleading terms. In anti-trust
lingo, a company that sells 30 percent of the
disposable diapers is said to "control" 30 percent of
the market for that product. But they control nothing.

Let them jack up their prices and they will find
themselves lucky to sell 3 percent of the disposable
diapers. They will discover that they are just as
disposable as their diapers.

Much is made of the fact that Wal-Mart has 3,000
stores in the United States and is planning to add
1,000 more. At one time, the A & P grocery chain had
15,000 stores but now they have shrunk so drastically
that there are probably millions of people -
especially in the younger generation - who don't even
know that they exist.

An anti-trust lawsuit back in the 1940s claimed that A
& P "controlled" a large share of the market for
groceries. But they controlled nothing. As the society
around them changed in the 1950s, A & P began losing
millions of dollars a year, being forced to close
thousands of stores and become a shadow of its former
self.

Let the people who run Wal-Mart start believing the
talk about how they "control" the market and, a few
years down the road, people will be saying "Wal-Who?"

With Wal-Mart, as with A & P before them, the big
bugaboo is that their low prices put competing stores
out of business. Could anyone ever have doubted that
low-cost stores win customers away from higher-cost
stores?

It is one of the painful signs of the immaturity and
lack of realism among the intelligentsia that many of
them regard this as a "problem" to be "solved."
Trade-offs have been with us ever since the late
unpleasantness in the Garden of Eden.

How could industries have found all the millions of
workers required to create the vast increase in output
that raised American standards of living over the past
hundred years, except by taking them away from the
farms?

Historians have lamented the plight of the hand-loom
weavers after power looms began replacing them in
England. But how could the poor have been able to
afford to buy adequate new clothing unless the price
was brought down to their income level by mass
production machinery?

Do you use your arch departments wood shop for assembly?

<grins>

I can just imagine Woodshop Bob helping me properly design and make paddles and other such spanking/torture insturments. I and our schools's woodshop resident faculty have a good friendship. It involves me whoring for donations for our art auctions, always cleaning up after myself when I work down there, always knowing to ask for help and not destroying his tools, and one yellow elephant.


I hope the comment about the yellow elephant intrigues you.... now how much are you able to restrain yourself from asking about the reference?

[Kajira Callista]

SO you're going to treat me for being a tease?

Hooray!


The story isn't all that interesting.... involves a goofy trip to Goodwill, a giggling set of girls nailing a hideous yellow plastic elephant thing to a locker, and my desk becoming known as the one with the yellow elephant - it s apermanent fixutre near my desk now -

one of the faculty did a movie about "locker art" - Woodshop Bob - and guess what was the opening scene? My yellow elephant....lol

Re: Re: Elephant?

I used to work in a small hardware store - I'd always go home with lots of naughty ideas...

 

[Netzach]

Since we hijacked with the politics of Walmart Haters, I though I might explain my stance:

Walmart has the charming characterisic of paying people total bupkes and not offering benefits for absurd amounts of time, that's my beef.

I'm not telling anyone else where to shop, I just try and support retailers that give their people more than the barest legal minimums and choose to keep prices the lowest because wages are the lowest.

 

[sweet T]

LOL and I thought you were going to tell me.. you finished your christmas shoppinglll
