They Got Me

Well you can chalk up another negative Best Buy experience. Artiums Prime and I made our way over to Best Buy last night after making a few stops on our world beer tour. Our mission was to retrieve a universal remote at all costs. Sometime during the move, the TV and DVD remotes were misplaced. I say misplaced because we haven’t received a ransom note…yet.

So we entered the land flowing with technological goodness. Immediately we were hit with a distraction: a rather good deal on the newly released Simpson’s Season 6 DVD set. Resisting temptation, we pushed deeper into the store. We made our way past the new DVD releases and console games.

As we rounded the corner, I heard a sweet melodious song playing from the computer game section. Yes my friends, it was the Quake 4 pre-order game package. Like a banshee of mythology, it drew me in. I was powerless to resist. Needless to say, it was a trap. I look my eyes off the mission objective and I paid dearly for it. You see, while I was distracted, an old woman flanked me on the right. In a perfectly executed move, she performed a drive by farting.

Yes…I was gassed.

Now I’m not talking about some little squeaker or burble. No, this was a butthole blowout. I almost dropped the game box in my hands. I turned around to get a look to my assailant and she kept walking like nothing happened.

A true professional.

Oh well…at least it’s Friday and I lived to tell about it.
