I love Wal-Mart... [Apr. 4th, 2009|11:26 am]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
Sometimes. This morning was one of those times.

As some of my faithful readers here are well aware, I live to dig through the $1 DVD bins at Wal-Mart. Well, this morning when I walked past the registers to get cat litter and all for the clean-and-change litter box detail, I noticed that the discount DVD bins had been restocked. Naturally, I had to stop and flip through. There was a lot of typical dreck - mostly animated and oddball movies - but I did find what someone of my frame of mind would call a gem:

*ROCKY JONES* - Space Ranger!!!

Yup. To quote from the case: "The ground-breaking 50's TV space series that started it all!"
"6 classic episodes *** in Astroscope***"

I mean, really: does it get any better than that?

And the baseball season starts up tomorrow. "Calloo-callay! Oh, frabjous day!"

Meanwhile, over at Kroger grocery store, they have a DVD for $9.95 that I must acquire: Godzilla: Final Wars. It's $9.95, but it has every Japanese B-movie monster ever created in it, kind of like a Monstermania wrestling match with planet Earth as the arena. It might be worth the expense.

Wow. And in astroscope no less!!! Do you have good enough equipment to play that?

Oh yeah, life begins anew tomorrow. The morning box scores will begin pumping blood through my body again. Not to exaggerate baseball's importance of anything. Yanks and Twins both have their injury problems though. Twins have made a habit of hanging in there recently no matter what whereas the Yanks have made bad starts a habit. Every year's a new beginning. We shall see.

Our Yanks and Twinkies didn't do so well yesterday, did they? Oh, well. It's a long season. Just afraid it could feel even longer!
