| Well Walmart 3 am was definately a success. I have to say of course that nothing so far has ever met up to the original Walmart Day. But Walmart 3 am was fabulous in three different languages. I don't know which languages they were, but they were languages, I'm sure of it. Of course, though, the event itself had quite a few pre-events leading up to the big day. And they all happened on the same night.--I should take this opportunity to say that I really don't know if we'll ever type up the story for K-mart Day. It may very well simply be one of those things that never comes. As a matter of fact, I would almost guarantee it. We're procrastinators, and if we don't have to do it, and don't want to, we probably won't. Unless we get extremely bored. But then, it may be impossible to reach that level of boredom. Who knows. No really. Who. Because I dont. So here's what it was. At 10:30 PM on 7/21/2004 I got the messege "Ducky (yeah, you're an idiot.): okaymleaving now!" from Crockett, which told me that she was on her way to pick up Ginger and then come over here. At 10:58 PM they arrived and rang my doorbell and then Crockett started singing and dancing to the "Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight.." song. According to Ginger "oooh yeah....i said i was going to dance around till you saw us...and she starts dancing and sings 'do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight-AH!' haha. the AH! was when she saw you in the door hahaha." Because indeed she did see me in the door. I pulled down a part of the window blind and peeked out at them just in time for Ginger to see me and crack up, then for Crockett to stand back up and look directly at me and crack up as well. I proceeded to turn the porch light off, and then Crockett screamed and laughed and I let them in. How else would it have happened. And I get the feeling that Crockett would be better at typing this, but she went to sleep because she has to get up tomorrow for work. So I'm doing it. Just so it will be done. And so, when I opened the door, Crockett handed me ice cream in a bowl and a spoon to go with it. Of course. And we all came into the computer room and ate our ice cream and laughed at many things and Crockett typed many messeges to herself from my Yahoo so that her Yahoo would recieve them and she would be able to read them when she got home and we enjoyed ourselves that way until we decided to go rent movies. And we did go rent movies. What did we rent? I know we rented Ghost World. Which I want to say is an awesome pick and I loved it. Except for the odd part. But thats okay. I knew it was coming. We were warned. And we got Mars Attacks. And then we found two other movies but I can't remember what they were called so I guess that's a loss of information forever. We turned on the TV(neccessary for movie watching) and, low and behold, what luck! We caught Conan on NBC! Before actually viewing the real movie, Crockett decided that she was very hungry, and therefore we would stop the fastforward of the previews, and go to Taco Bell! Only the greatest restaurant ever. Open late, so you can eat great? Well, I suppose. But only the drive through was open late for us to eat great. They locked the doors. All in all I believe it was worth it. Taco Bell is here for you. 1-800-TACO-BELL. Call it. See what they're here for you for. Then we returned home. We ate our tacos. And we watched our movie. The only one we got to watch was Ghost World. Because that was over a little before two and we decided that Walmart 3 am would have to happen at 2 am. Because Crockett was falling asleep. So up we went and headed to do Walmart 3 am, at 2 am. Of course I took a picture when we got there, of the clock. Whhich said 2:20, but the picture didn't turn out. Damnit. And as we were driving we saw lightening from a storm far far away. Or something. I may as well check the weather to see. And of course, at 2 am, Walmart workers don't really have that many responsabilities. And so the Walmart shopping carts are just scattered all about like hell. And so we took a picture. And the picture itself signifies how many fucking lights Walmart has on all of the time. Haha. To deterr theft and vandalism. That's silly. When we walked up to the doors, though, after taking that picture, we saw that they were both blocked by shopping carts, and that the censors were turned off. And so, being us, we went to the other doors. Past the Walmart workers, who were quite funny, and into Walmart. At 2 am. Of course when we first got in, we walked aimlessly around because really, when confronted with this holiday, how can you know what to do first? So we were walking aimlessly, and we stopped at a certain area. I decided to find Ginger some cool sunglasses that reminded me of George in Blow. I didn't find the exact ones, but I found some that were close. They meerly lacked the decreasing shading. Of course then we found a bucket that happened to have our little friend falling onto some swivelly lines that I imagine were to represent water. They were very poor representations of water, but once again our little friend has not let us down. I noticed that Katie had picked up a scarf after we had exited the hats department. Which was, of course, one of the very first places we went. And I did not mention that. But we did. And so I suprised her and raised the camera. And she proceeded to cuddle up to the gumball machines with her scarf and cammo shirt. We even learned something on Walmart 3 am. Crockett, paired with a scarf, purse, and a lot of gumball machines, costs $18.67. Knowing the fact that Geri and I were deprived children, she began a bounding rush towards the toy department, because the toy department fucking rocks. She found the noodles and she, Crockett, and I had a short battle with them. After finding my weapon of ultimate doom, we got semi-distracted and found the one and only, energizer bunny, and Crockett flipped him off. With all of his fame and fortune and his special little cuetip for his drum, I personally decided that his insane antics, while funny, are all for cash. Which means that he is a media whore. After going through the toys, and walking just a bit, I wondered if they had a bed and bath department. Because you know that those are just way too fun. And someday we'll find a store that actually has what I envision in my mind for a bed and bath department. But then Crockett informed me that Walmart did have a home furnishings. And we found it. We saw suitcases and wondered aloud if Crockett could fit into one. And then she attempted to fit into a storage unit that I believe would have been made for a computer. We had decided ahead of time that if it didn't have shelves, she could have fit into it. But then she decided to try anyway just for kicks. That one I believe is titled "Katie tries to fit into the desk." We had ourselves a time in home furnishings after we found the crazy chair that felt really cool and a lot like the crazy pillow at Spencers, and of course we got smacked with a giant green ball, but then we noticed that something was playing on the tv. Come to find out that it was the Lion King and it was on closed caption at the part where the hyenas were saying "Mufasa." We also found a program that was playing on one of the very large screen tv's that bore an incredible resemblance to Crockett and Ginger in Walmart at 2-something am. We took a picture. And the moved on. Crockett decided that she was going to look for candle wax. Because although Walmart crashes the economy in a million different ways, it provides us with a source of great entertainment, and they have black candle wax, which is intriguing. As she ventured to seek it out, Ginger and I stumbled(okay, not literally) (well, almost literally; but not quite) upon some fake flowers. They did indeed look very very real. But of course, any self-respecting Walmart goer knows that Walmart does not have real flowers there on the fake flower rack. We knew that some people are very silly, and that they would never see the secret inside of the picture of the flowers that we took. Therefore I am sure that it shall remain a mystery to some for ever and ever and ever. After that, we heard Crockett calling out "Abraham, Chewbaka." and we went to find her. She had discovered quite a thing; a duck shaped 3-d cake pan, some little duck cookie cutters, and some duck cake/cup cake toppings. "Straight sugar." Of course on our way out, a really superbly cool woman was talking to us about Millie Pearl who was a comedian and used to be on the Grand Ol Opre. And by the way, I have to tell the fact that I loved that woman we were talking to. She was fucking awesome. Haha. All in all, after the fact, I have noticed now that in the picture I took of Ginger walking in front of me with the cool, jingly, pirate/carribean type hat on, was very cool. And we got, very much by chance, a giant, rubber goldfish that was suspended from the ceiling and full of air with sunglasses on. That in itself was quite great... |
