So today in the pre-work chatter phase, my comrades-in-office were discussing the many joys of Costco, especially in what one might term the Festive Season.. I must admit, while my pals were rhapsodizing over Toys (one has grandchildren) and Wreaths, my mind wistfully pondered the mountains of bulk-priced paper towels and rice that store provides. Therefore I was quite receptive when asked to accompany the Costco-card-carrying comrades Costcoward during the chronoslot of comestibles - okay, giving up on that. Anyways, I went to Costco. I walked through the DVD aisles, past the best movie of the year on just-released DVD (buying it would be a crime against the people who have to think of Christmas presents for me) and the Indiana Jones boxed set for $43. I ignored shiny pens and clothes. I picked through the games and was disappointed to find Prince of Persia slightly more expensive than at Amazon, and finally, I emerged with only two things I hadn’t planned to buy - a pushbroom and a family-size bottle of shampoo. That’s what you call willpower.

What, no uncerwear???
For some reason i always associate Costco with cheap underwear. They have sixpacks for ten bucks of the nice cotton ones. Nothing to write home about but my mom has been buying me underwear there for years, so its always been my primary association with costco. That and chocolate chip muffins. How can you not love jumbo size chocolate chip muffins????
Re: What, no uncerwear???
Dude, I love swashbuckling and corset jokes SO much more than chocolate chip muffins.
But I do love muffins.
I kind of avoid the food parts of Costco, when I am there. I find the amounts intimidating.
Re: What, no uncerwear???
Your mom still buys your underwear? <nelson>Ha ha!</nelson>

Heeheehee… My roomate preprdered Priates. We watched it last night. :) Still as awsome as the first viewing! They have AMAZING special features.
You learn the joys of bulk store food shopping when you live with 6 hungry college students. Bagels and Pastaroni anyone?
Re: What, no uncerwear???
Well, I figure, bein’ as how I went to the mooovie three times and hailed it as the second coming of something or other in my blog, it’s probably the world’s easiest present to think of for me. So buying it before Christmas would be Very Naughty ofme.
See, I’m afraid I would eat the bulk. And bulk up.
Re: What, no uncerwear???
Ah, but you’re forgetting the basics of Christmas strategery! Everyone knows it would be the perfect present for you, therefore everyone will think that everyone else is getting it for you, so they’ll get you something else instead. The thing that everyone knows you want is the thing you’re least likely to get.
Re: What, no uncerwear???
: ) Heh, I’ve done a little of that bulking up myself it seems… that’s what you get for living with people who can cook… :)
Re: What, no uncerwear???
<blush> What’s wrong with that?
