    I had a close encounter with a games shop a few months ago.

    I asked what games they sell, the guy said both kinds, Pokemon and heroclix. I said how much for a starter pack, he said fifty dollars and up.

    His idea of appealing to a broad customer base was tolerating the star trek heroclix players, and he wonders why he barely makes the rent on his shop.

    Am I crazy or is this society? Probably both. Good morning.

    Re:

    I went into a game shop myself a few months ago. What was reinforced for me then was that the people running those stores hate everyone who doesn't like things they like, or doesn't know as much about their likes as they'd want. You'd think a person working a store would encourage people to learn more, but no - it's some bizarre elitist fuckery managing those stores, which is why I ended up leaving without a damn thing after asking a question about a D&D book.

    Good morning.

    I finally went through the Purge - and no I don't mean the fun kind when you go out on the streets assaulting the poor. I've finally unfriended all those sorry people I have no remote wish to hear from again on Facebook, and you've got to remember Facebook became popular in my unscrupulous mid-teens where I friended a lot of people who I didn't give a shit about because it was the done thing. I have to say I'm happy to no longer have messages like "Ma man disrespects me, what should I do sistas?" and "Epic night out #bros4life" polluting a space that could be filled with more interesting (and the potentially ordained, amirite?) people.

    Thanks be that I now have to put up with mostly my own family's frequent and innate bleatings. Good night.

    Bitches always be bleating. Gotta unfollow that shiz.

    Good rule of thumb for FB: as soon as a woman announces she's pregnant, un-follow. Will spare you from the ever-increasing flow of baby pictures and over-sharing. Also a good idea to un-follow people who tend to make politically charged posts, lest you be inundated with their party propaganda come election day.

    Someone told me to keep my eyes peeled, now my retinas are bleeding.

    Good evening.

    Hey, how y'all doing? I wish I had a good reason for having been away, but no, I'm just a bad friend.

    Good morning.

    Why can there never be weather I'm actually satisfied with?

    Good morning.

    It was good though, I watched it at the cinema because I just couldn't get enough.

    Good night.

    I was offered a seat to that, in a corporate box, no less. But I already had plans for that date, plus I don't really like going to things. So I guess now I get the warm fuzzies of your resentment and contempt.

    Good morning.

    Well I hope your prior engagement, which for argument's sake I'm going to assume was being the anal gimp for an all-male orgy at a Soho fetish club, was worth it!

    Good afternoon.

    Yes, it was.

    (The above confirmation has been left deliberately ambiguous, to assist Jojoblow with his mental imagery.)

    Good morning.
