Holy crap, it's Tuesday. That kind of snuck up on me. I think I need a day off. Anybody want to host?
...Bueller?
...those crickets I can hear in the background?
No? Okay, fine. But ONE DAY I will be taking a holiday.
You know what to do!
(I assume. But you know what happens when you assume. Ha! I just made an ass out of you!)
(Okay, seriously, you just write a random post. Then you put the fugly purple button on it that I keep saying I'll re-design and you link up. Got it? Good.)
I just got back from seeing Sherlock Holmes with hubby. We were apparently the only people left on the planet that hadn't seen it, because we were the ONLY people in the theatre. Hubby got existential: "If nobody shows up, do they play the movie?"
Mmmm, movie theatre popcorn.
Mmmm, Robert Downey Junior.
Our sitter got here a little early so hubby & I booked it. To kill time we went to the new Wal Mart. I know, we really know how to party.
But it's a SUPER Wal Mart so I've been scared to go. I needed backup. And it looked like there were massive amounts of cars in the parking lot, but it turns out that when you get inside? There are a lot of places for people to hide. It doesn't look crowded when all the occupants of those cars have the space of 12 football fields to spread out in.
Anyway. There are Regular Wal Marts, and Super Wal Marts. I think they need Sub Wal Marts for scaredies like me. Like, JUST the pharmacy section. Way off in a field. Behind some trees, so nobody else knows it's there.
On second thought, I think I'll just become a recluse.
Mmmmm...Robert Downey Junior...
Anybody want to Cliff Notes the Olympics for me? It's terribly un-patriotic of me, but I just don't care.
(Yeah, I just verbed Cliff Notes. And verb.)
Hubby is playing Commodore 64 emulators on the computer behind me. Earlier he remarked, "I can't believe I wasted so much time playing these games when I was a kid." Obviously feels the way to remedy that wasted youth is to play them some more as an adult.
I go for groceries every Monday. Today I didn't think I needed much, but I ended up spending close to $200 anyway. Diapers and meat, those screw me every time. I thought, if I could just get rid of those purchases, I'd save a ton of money on our grocery budget.
Then I thought, Who the fuck are you, woman, and what are you doing in my brain talking about grocery budgets??
More undead Disney characters.
I just realized I actually DO need someone to host next weeks RTT. I have to go away for business. Which sounds really interesting and official, but it's really just a road trip with my boss to a pissant town in the middle of nowhere.
Which sounds like it could be really spicy and intriguing, but no, it's really just a road trip with my boss to a pissant town in the middle of nowhere. In other words, it's very likely that I'll come back with a fork in my eye. Or he will.
So, any volunteers? I'll send you the fork as payment.
I double-dog dare you to click on this link: http://5z8.info/INCREDIBLE-DEAL-CANT-MISS_z3d7k_cockdock.gif
Oh yeah, it's the Brave and the Bold around here.
Random up, guys!
48 people talked back :
randomaraama... Wal mart does sound scary, I've never even been to a little, ickle, bitsy, witsy one!
I live in the middle of nowhere and you should see the people who come out of the woods to go to "the" Wal Mart. In fact, if I had to take you, I'd need that fork.
In my hometown Walmart is the only place to go. Everyone hangs out there. And as soon as the put the Super Walmart in it will be the official hangout for stoners at 2AM.
The shady url site is great. Have fun on your jaunt with the boss. Wal mart, ugh!
Wasting time on emulators is the only way to achieve the perfect life balance after wasting time on the same games as a child. Reaching that equilibrium is so important and Hubby is doing the right thing.
I like the Olympics. I just don't like the announcers.
Work trips are never fun. I don't care where you're going.
Super Walmart is weird. It is that place you never want to go, but you end up there all the time.
Oooh me! Pick me! Ooh! Oooh!
(heehee)
I like the idea of a sub Walmart, maybe with like only 10 aisles and a friendly, local shop owner. Oh wait, that used to be a called a small business owner...
We have a Super Walmart next to a Sam's Club. There are humans everywhere in the parking lot, but hardly no one inside. I think they just like hanging out in parking lots.
We don't have Super Walmart in our part of the country (apparently, real estate is too pricey for Walmart). I wanted to see Sherlock Holmes but sadly I don't get to go to the movies unless it is a kid movie. I did see Percy Jackson.
I had a Commodore 64! Sold it for $25 about 10 years ago :)

I try to go to our Super Wal-mart only during the week. The weekends are just plain scary.
I haven't seen Sherlock Holmes yet, guess I'll be waiting for the DVD.
My parents have the Commodore 64 video game in their basement. I'm pretty sure it still works. I think Jimmy Hoffa might actually be in their basement too.
Hmmmmm, Robert Downey Jr. Yes.
I can totally get down with that. Hmmmm. I saw this with my hubby a couple weeks ago and the theater was empty then, too, fyi. How is this movie a success??
The shady URL site made me laugh so hard! I need to employ that for a tweet and see what happens. Actually, I shall experiment by using it for the tweet I'll announce this post with. Thanks for that!
Great random, as usual. I am keeping mine extra light and fluffy this week after all the agita with my son.
Maybe you can get diapers and meat at a Super Walmart?
I think I just made myself a little sick by writing that.
Copy that about Robert Downey!
I think it's about time he dropped that Jr. shit. He is obviously very manly nowadays.
Sherlock Holmes? Parent of a Toddler here and, uh, I am pretty sure that one is not out on DVD yet.
I'm in on the RTT too. Cheers.
Don't feel bad, I haven't seen the movie yet either. I haven't seen a regular Walmart in FOREVER! I've been a Super Walmart girl for years now :)
I agree with you about WalMarts. Some of them are JUST TOO BIG.
I don't have as much bloggy traffic as you do, but I'd always be happy to host a RTT. :)
I can't offer my services since Mr. Linky doesn't like me and I'd probably offend too many people, but I wish whoever does luck.
Super Walmarts always intimidate me, but if I leave there without being kicked, punched, or humiliated, I consider it a successful shopping trip.
I have not seen the movie either. Glad to know I am not the only one. And all we have is a super walmart. It's huge and obnoxious and always busy cuz there is no where else to go.
They still show movies in theaters? What's that like?
Oh, Robert Downey. I think I need to Netflix Iron Man.
Oh, good! Someone else who doesn't care about the Olympics. I don't feel so alone now.
Movies, what are those? With a toddler and a pregnant wife I don't think I've seen a movie in a theater since Star Wars, not the good ones.
That last link was full of awesome sauce.
For 3 days I thought womens curling had to do with weight lifting.
Queen of Random!
Commodore 64 - I forgot all about those and that was a good thing to forgte. SOmetimes, things from my childhood are sooo embarrassing. I'd like to be from a different generation please....and NOT the one that lives at Super WalMart either!
you must tell your hubs he's one ahead and beyond mine because well mine is still using Commodore 64s and stockpiling parts "just incase"... :)
I can't handle Super Walmart. Or any Walmart. I live in fear of having my picture taken and showing up on peopleofwalmart. And my patients would recognize me.
Our family will take a $4.00 prescription in this economy every day if need be.
Thanks for doing the Random Thought Tuesday. I've been enjoying it and I don't usually enjoy doing the meme thing.
That shady URL site is awesome. My new blog site is http://5z8.info/dogporn_m8q4s_getPersonalData-start. That ought to scare off anonymous and pull in a whole new type of follower.
Great random! I'm from the home of Wal-Mart and there are no longer small stores there, they're all Super Wal-Marts...well, except for the Neighborhood Markets which are Wal-Marts that are just grocery and pharmacy...anyways, Wal-Mart still scares me and always takes too much of my money by making me think I need loads of cheap crap simply because it's cheap.
I like Robert Downey but would rather watch movies at home with wine and popcorn.
Don't do Wal-Mart...of any size.
Happy RTT
I enjoy a theater with no one but me in it. Until I watch the movie and then I Know why its empty.
You know, they have the WalMarts that are just groceries... do they have them in Cananada? (Yes, I meant to spell that incorrectly.)
Love the line about hubby playing video games and wasting time.
Try not to stab yourself in the eye next week. If no one else ponies up, I'll host for you!
The undead Jasmine looks an awful lot like a man. Oh, and my special URL included "meinkampf." Nice.
Super Walmart?? You are so brave! I have done a regular WalMart!! LOL! Have a great RTT!!
I linked up!
Hugs
SueAnn
Business trip? Wow! You sound so official and business-like! I haven't seen Sherlock Holmes yet, but mmmm, Robert Downey Junior.
I was so into the Olympics two years ago, and this year I haven't seen anything. Too much going on. *sigh*
I've been talking about sticking a fork in my eye a lot lately. Get outta my brain, lady.
Also, Robert Downey, Jr. Mmmmmmmmm.
I would rather stick a fork in my eye than go to any WalMart. I HATE WalMart.
You are not the only people that haven't seen that move. Mr. Clean and I rarely, if ever, hit the theater around here. That's mostly because they are jerks and only take cash. No debit AT ALL. So if we want to go we have to plan it all out so we can be sure to get cash somewhere, somehow, before the movie.
VOO-DOO Economics. Okay, I haven't read your post yet, but whenever I hear "Bueller?" my first instinct is to shout out VOO-DOO Economics. Off to read....
You seem equally as entranced by RDJ and I am by The Shaun. Can I just tell you how much I thoroughly enjoyed Iron Man because of the RDJ? I mean watched it over and over and over enjoyed it. Dude was ripped. Sub wal-mart: tee-hee. I just love you.
Wal-Mart of any stripe... a place to go only when feeling utterly masochistic. Brrrrrrr.
Thanks for the Shady URL site... it promises oodles of entertainment.
And thanks for hosting all the random fun!!
Ok, I've got a random idea for you - solicit 1 misc link from each reader & then post a list.
Love the double dare link, by the way
i laughingly mentioned the commodore 64 emulators to MY hubby and he said, hmm that's a great idea...sigh...geeks
I already hosted for you once, woman. Jeez. Lemme know if you need me to pick up the slack again, since I post so much at my own site these days, I might as well post on yours again too. Ha.
I have not seen that movie, so that makes two of us. Well, just one since you saw it without me, jerk.
Oh, I keep meaning to tell you about the fucking fan. The one you shipped? Well, first of all, some part was missing from the manufacturer so we called and had it shipped (no big deal) then it gets here and Jamie drops the FUCKING THING FROM CEILING LEVEL and smashed the entire motor casing so it can't spin. Yeah, really. So we had to buy ANOTHER ONE directly from the manufacturer and if it got here today. If he drops that one, I'm killing my self. I'm not kidding. Bang.
How's things up there? Uhm, the Olympics are.. cold? I usually keep up with the winter ones but I haven't this year. Something to do with some asshole toddlers reeking havoc on my life.
We don't have a walmart super centre here, but if we did I would probably avoid it like I do the regular walmart. great randomness as always!!
You had the whole theater to yourself?? Thats awesome!!
Robert Downey Jr. Sigh. He looks a little weathered, but no less yummy.
Super Wal-mart scares me a lot more than Super Target, I blame bad Feng Shui.
Like me and my husband spend almost every date night at WalMart somehow. Or at least it is part of our date. Why is that? I think it's the flourescent lighting and the end cap sales. I just can't get enough.
Oh and one more thing. I hate the Olympics too. Shhh. Don't tell anyone.
