Today after hitting the stores for Thanksgiving stuff and Holiday shopping I took these photos.
I witnessed the funniest damn bit of stupidity while at Target today.
This man was staring into the dollar spot very intently. He looked like his head might explode. I look over and this woman is staring intently at some little plastic thing. She stands there several minutes. Meanwhile I'm grabbing some cheapie Holiday decorations with which to decorate George up all nice and fancy shmancy. *grin* I make such a mockery of these times.
*evil laugh*
Anyhoo so the lady is still standing there by the time I pick out the garland for George. The husband finally in a very exasperated voice asks her what she's looking at. She says in an equally exasperated way with a heavy side of confusion, "I don't know!!". It was very drawn out like a bad Captain Kirk (Shatner) impersonation. Only she was DEAD serious. o.0
The hubby replies, "Well then put it down and move on to the next thing".
*Bwhahahahahaha*
I take it she had been going through each item meticulously as if her life depended on it. He was at the end of his rope.
There were several people who had lost their minds at the Target today. The holidays will eat you up and spit you out if you aren't prepared.
That's why this season if you find yourself having to buy someone a gift, just get them a big can of Bitch Slap**. Trust me, it's easier and you'll feel GREAT! *L*
I'm mostly done with the shopping stuff. Mostly. Now I just have to wrap the crap up and mail it off or whatever.
I'm having a Cape Cod though, so all is right with the world. For now at least. ;^)
**Bitch Slap, now with more STFU!
In the words of Pauly..use a brick..you don't want to hurt your hand.
:o)

Ya know, I always wonder how we make it out of this season without killing people. I really do think this will be the year I tell someone off at the Target.
Did I tell you about the 'older' woman who left her wallet on the counter at Beverly's (craft store) and went outside with the cashier? I just stood there, waiting my turn and thinking how stupid/trusting/naive she was. Turned out she was a local. Shoulda known.

When do we see the fancies that you bought for George?

Ann is absolutely right! Go get a brick and come out slappin'! Don't ever hurt your hand cause of someone else's stupidity...

If I go shopping at this time of the year, I just kinda go with the expectation that everyone's going to be crazy and figure that way I'll fit right in *G*

I won't set foot in Target after September and before February :-)
Your Saturday Sky photos are fantastic!
