We apologize in advance

The World’s Greatest Receptionist and I went to an actual video rental store today. We simply couldn’t wait any longer for Dexter’s final season to arrive from Netflix.

We’d forgotten that an actual rental place still existed, but it totally does!

So WGR and I jumped in Dave and sped a little over a mile to the store. We were greeted with the smell of popcorn.Dexter-plastic-

A DVD rental store with fresh popcorn?

Guess what else they had? Guess. You’re never gonna guess, so I’ll tell you. They had beer on tap.

ON TAP!

That’s exactly what we thought.

We did not partake in the beer, though we wanted to. We do enough nonsense at work at Bank of No Forks without actually drinking on the job. That’s an invisible line we’ve not crossed. Invisible lines are super tricky.

Anyway, we entered that store like the whirlwind we are–alarming the other patrons and befuddling the staff. The gentleman who assisted us handled us better than most. Even when we suggested that the best solution for dealing with stupid people, of which we ALL agreed there are many, was to punch them in the throat. WGR disclosed it was actually a pretty tough thing to accomplish. Have you ever tried to punch someone in the throat? People are cagey about their necks in general.

ANYWAY

We didn’t threaten anyone in the store. In fact, we love those people and we’re 100% certain that they’re thrilled to receive our business. On a continuous basis. Since we travel in a small gang.

Just keep the free popcorn coming and maybe we’ll stop in for a beer in the afternoon.
