Jazzmoose Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Well, this is it troops. Volunteers were called for, and I decided to step up and take one for the team. It won't be an easy mission, and I may not make it. Much to PFunk's disappointment, I won't be hanging around here all day today, and who knows; may not be seen again. If I don't make it, I leave all my CDs and LPs to be divided among the group, and expect GARussell to light up a good stogie in my memory. The commander has issued the orders, and it's going to be an all day mission. Shed a tear for me, gents; we're going "shopping".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upright Bill Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Shed a tear for me, gents; we're going "shopping".... Don't do it man! I've been there and all I can say is just don't do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDK Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 If by "shopping," you mean Amoeba, Rasputin's, or Tower, then what's the big deal...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 (edited) I'm going to see this tonight. >Urinetown< I had to do the shopping thing last night. I was 'told' I couldn't go to the show wearing blue jeans and a pull-over shirt. What the feck. Good luck, Jazzmoose. Don't forget to let us know it it went for you today.

GA Russell Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Moose hasn't reported back, so I enjoyed a La Luna rolled in Miami. Yum! Moose, let us know if you've got a budget left for music after this all-day exercise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 I'm a *girl* who hates shopping.... If you can also say that you're happy with leaving the furniture in the same place forever, and with never redecorating, you'll never want for male companionship. EVER! I guarantee it.

Jazzmoose Posted April 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Well, I survived, though just barely! I was too beat to report my existence last night, and now I'm off to work. I knew it was going to be an all day affair, but you just don't remember how bad it is... Ray, I did manage to negotiate a "last stop" at Streetlight Records on the way to dinner, so it wasn't a complete waste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Glad you made it back ok. The one thing I REFUSE to do is go with my wife when she shops for shoes. The times she's tricked me into it have been at least two hours of hell - and that's even getting to sit down and read while she tries on pair after pair. NEVER AGAIN!

JSngry Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 I have an agreement w/LTB - she doesn't take me shopping, and I don't go with her. Sounds simpler than it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couw Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 shouldn't that read TLB? we split up when shopping. I do my record/CD/book/whatever hunting and she goes for shoes. She knows I want to do things much more purposefully than strolling through the streets for hours on end trailing behind big people with big bags blocking the way and not keeping even their way too slow tempo anywhere near constant. I hate that, I am one of those slender fast guys that slips through the masses and heads for where it's at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVER! I guarantee it. I haven't moved my couch in, uh, many years (except for routine vacuuming; I'm not a typical female, but I'm not a slob, although enjoying shopping certainly does not necessarily make one "typical".) Whew... I got through that hopefully PC statement without ONE asterisk. Poor Moose. Here he is pleading for mercy while at the Nordstrom's semi-annual shoe sale....(Well, I will admit to going to that, but notice that it's only twice a year.)

BruceH Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 It's usually a good idea to split up when you go shopping and meet at a pre-arranged place later (like a movie theater.) God knows, there aren't many women I'd want to subject to the protracted trolling for used CD's, books, and DVD's that is my version of "shopping." Actually, I'm pretty lucky: My wife rarely shops for shoes, NEVER for jewelry. God I love that woman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
