So where are you from? or are you scared to tell us it's your mother's basement? or maybe treehouse?

Just to be fair here, I'm from Hampton Roads VA

I don't know, but I did read this joke yesterday:
A sooner fan walks into his bedroom carrying a sheep under his arm while his wife is on the bed reading and says: "This is the pig I have sex with when you have a headache". His wife then corrects him "Uh, that's not a pig, it's a sheep". The sooner fan responds: "I was talking to the sheep".
So you might be right. Thank god I'm an OSU fan.

My BB had about 50 tins at 7pm yesterday.

Read the ad again... it didn't say 20 per store. It said minimum 20 per store.

PS: the only madness is that the originals weren't anamorphic. BB is not responsible.

Well to confirm my madness (I should have done this first before wasting my time) I did look up the tin set on bestbuy.com and did a search for any available in this area...Not one to be had....Damn, it's a good thing I own 20 gas stations, I don't have to pay for that wasted gas....

Wait a minute....Why don't I start a thread in the Exchange group asking anyone is they have a extra one for sale? I am sure there must be at least one kind hearted person who would sell me one for cost....Think so?

I'd go get you one in exchange for free gas, but we haven't got the internal combustion engine in OK yet

eBay is voluntary--nobody's making you do anything.

I'm just pissed my local BB ran out of the Twikoff Ultimate Edition that had the Val Kilmer and Natalie Portman interviews and screen tests

Should have done what I did... order it online early in the morning for store pickup. They basically put it on hold for you at the customer service desk. Don't blame BB because you can't figure out how to get your hands on a silly tin can.

You're only a geek if you show up the day of release date to pick up a geek movie that comes in a special tin that only geeks drool over.

You are NOT a geek if you drive all over the place for it the next day.

Exactly, problem solved. You just order it with in-store pickup before the store even opens, that way they have it stashed away for you before the greedy mofo's get there and buy them all up. That's what i did this week for the Voltron tin which i thought might be in short supply, which ended up not being the case but at least i knew i had mine waiting for me.

I have a hard time seeing how you conned a woman into not only sleeping with you but also letting you knock her up. You must have adopted.

I'm sure plenty of people would have offered if you hadn't started throwing personal insults at everyone about nonesense like a significant job.
