I didn't make these...

So yeah, like I said... I didn't make this one, but wish I had. Its so very true. And it's about best buy. Just click on it to enlarge it.

Now this next one is most funny to Best Buy Employees, but I'll explain it real quick. Best Buy has names for the different kinds of people. A "Ray" is a guy who's a family man. More than likely has 2.4 children and a wife who holds the check book. He'll be the one who wants to buy the technology, say it's for the kids, but will need approval from his wife. So we're supposed to identify this person and talk to him about it, but make sure we focus on and sell it to the wife. A "Barry" is the high roller. He's got the best of everything and very possibly won't want any service plan. He pays top dollar so expects a product that will last him. Nail that guy with all the expensive accessories. "Buzz" is a 18-25 year old who likes his toys, I think I'm a Buzz.

So yeah, that's that. Did I mention that I worked 6pm - 2am at Best Buy on Sunday? It was our annual inventory night or some crap like that. We had to follow these guys around the store and watch them as they zapped every item, every CD, every computer accessory, every bag of M&Ms in the store. Very exciting. And I had to work the next morning at BUNN... lame.

Tabitha, I've got Smallville if you're still looking for it.

Nell, No problem! 1) I LOVE to find out about new people who actually look at this thing, so I just wanted to say "Hi" 2) I also love to find out that someone made some use of the information I try to cram down my readers throats every so often.

Mom, Hi. Of course I know that you'll always be there for me. I'm just suprised you were so quick to include Scott in that VIP grouping.

Jake, I wanted you to know that I didn't forget you. You were intentionally excluded.

Amy, are you sure the Grade A doesn't stand for Awesome? Cause you are.

Tim, please refer to my comment to Jake reguarding him, his podcast and everything else under his sphere of influence. He may have provided us with valuable Hometown Porn Star information at one time, but RS2.0 is a "What have you done for me lately" institution.

Look at you, salting your own comments. What a cad.

The second cartoon looks a little Voltron, Transformer and the Power Rangers all combine.

Those are some funny comics! I always say this about Best Buy people. No offense, but I avoid em like the plague when I'm there. If I need a frikkin flash drive, they'll sell me the laptop that goes with it or something. I'm always afraid I'll buy somethin I don't need. So, I always have a solid plan of action when I go there. Buy what I want and get the hell outta there! The second comic brought some Saturday mornin cartoon memories back! Nice one!

BY the way, what's with the sexist labelling! I'm sure there are women who buy stuff there and are high-rollers and like their tech stuff too! Can't believe I missed that!!!!

Yes, those women are called "gold-diggers" and they purchase things with their husband's credit card to impress the pool boy so they can make love to someone they find physically attractive. That's why if I get rich, I intend to screen all my help to be fat, ugly, and if at all possible STD infected. Those people need jobs too.

But I agree. I hate sexism.

May I just say that I love Mr. Rob. I happen to frequent Best Buy just to catch a glimpse of this mystical creature of a man. And then I wait...perhaps he will notice me this time....maybe we will make eye contact and finally my existance will bear meaning. I would love to be your "buzz" just so i can hear your angelic voice resounding in my head, so that when i lay in bed at night and think of you i can hear your voice and imagine you are saying how much you love me and want to be with me. but until then i can only dream..........(and stalk you from the camera section).
love,

Woah girls... it's alright, calm yourselves. There's civil ways to settle this, like jello wrestling (that is of course, only if "Konica" is indeed female). Just remember, its not on the outside, but whats on the inside that counts with me.

(Although having a nice set of lenses never hurt... A solid flash here and there is also appreciated.)

(I won't even go into the benifits of an extended battery life.)

Scott said...

That's right. It's what's on the inside. And you'd better have a good set of lenses, especially ones with a great zoom if you're really interested in Rob. And what's with this "solid" flash stuff? I'll take a good flash now and then, but a solid one? That just sounds painful? Possibly from the plastic casing surgery?

Please let us know as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

Solid. As defined by UrbanDictionary: Cool, Awesome, Superior or Excellent. Something that is so great, it would be unimaginable for it to ever be reguarded as anything other than great. A highly stable version of awesome.

Whatever, it sounds right with my internal voice. Its not my fault you're reading it wrong.
