Why do I always feel like I'm on another planet every time I go somewhere in this Pottery Barn forsaken place?
We went into Blockbuster last week to see if maybe they had the Mario Baseball game for Gamecube in stock. We didn't see any so we decided we'd do the normal thing and ask the pimply-faced, mouth full of metal kid at the front desk. The conversation went something like this:
Us: Do you have Mario Baseball?
Pimply-Faced, Mouth Full of Metal Kid At The Front Desk: Huh?
Us: Mario Baseball. Do you have it?
PFMFMKFD: *Gives blank stare*
Us: M-A-R-I-O B-A-S-E-B-A-L-L. For the Gamecube. You know, the new game that came out.
PFMFMKFD: Oh. No.
Us: No? Never? You're never, ever going to have it?
PFMFMKFD: No. *Long pause while he contemplates this in his little tiny head* You mean you wanna rent it?
Us: Um, yeah. That's why we're in a store that rents video games.
PFMFMKFD: Uh, you could buy it at Future Shop.
Us: Yes, yes we could. But we want to rent it. So you're never ever EVER going to get in Mario Baseball. Even though you have all the Mario Partys, Mario Golf, and Paper Mario.
PFMFMKFD: No. *Looks around surreptitiously* But you could try Rogers.
Us: Uh, okay. Thanks.
This insanely inane prattle resulted in us hoofing it to Wal-Mart. And buying the game just so we wouldn't have to partake in any more such witty repartee.

It's okay. I find it kinda hard to learn some things, but that's only because I'm an uncoordinated idiot, so you may have better luck.
No we don't. And it galls my very soul every day.
