the last box set of scrubs in the world!!!
December 29th 2007 15:09
not meaning to dampen people's spirits during the festive season, but i am a little in two minds after the recent pre christmas bullshit that i just experienced. i'm the first to be under the christmas tree on the morning of the 25th, so i am all about the present giving thang, but i also think that people need to chill out a bit when 'going through the motions' of buying gifts for others.
the first time i noticed this was on the morning of the 22nd when i went to a shopping mall with my father-in-law. this is a time of year when we should be rejoicing to be hanging out with friends and family, and even happy to be buying them a little something something to say 'hey i think you are alright' or whatever you might need to say. however all i could see while i was walking around was people with looks of numbness, or disgust, or anger even - not what was beaming off my face that's for sure.
i almost dropped my shit (but managed to refrain and ignore it) when i was challenged to the last copy of scrubs season 1 to 3. i was on the phone to my wife asking whether we should go for scrubs or arrested development when this girl over heard me say 'scrubs' and instantly became the biggest fan of the series that ever was. we both saw that there was only one copy of it left on the shelf and she starting freaking out to her friend while i was still on the phone.
so i started moving toward the counter to get one of the people to open the cabinet for me. i finish on the phone and i could feel her hovering around me like some little yappy dog about to strike when finally she says 'do you want that copy of scrubs?' and i said yes. she then says ' well i want it too,' to which i retort with ' shall we battle it out with paper, scissors, rock?' to which she didn't find it too funny. i start thinking well let's let fate decide the winner.
in the mean time her friend manages to grab one of the service dudes who unlocks the cabinet and thereby ending a terrific sneako interception!!! i obviously wasn't after it as much as she was so i walked away a little frustrated but also knowing that my old friend karma would have something to say about this so i guess i have the last laugh really.
morale of the story: know one likes a band wagon jumper....

the three ghosts? not sure what they are but it sounds like something that i was thinking when she barged past me!!
ash,
i certainly did! but the next day when i was getting drunk and feasting with my family, it didn't really matter any more. however i bet that chick was pissed when her copy of scrubs did jump and not play.. he he.
