Geek Shopping
I was standing in the aisle at CompUSA,
Trying to guess what type of printer cable I was supposed to pick up …
Staring intently at the assorted options,
‘Cause ya know …
That would somehow help. 🙂
When a salesdude who I had felt watching me,
Moved a little closer and said …
“You look like a lady that could use some cable.”
Yeah …
You know it,
My snarky reply made him blush.
Though on the other hand,
He really did seem interested in helping me afterwards.
As far as my reply goes,
I really couldn’t help myself,
It just blurted out on its own,
Since it is the second most common phrase said among The UnUsual Suspects:
“Is that code for something?“
Having worked for Computer City at one time in my life, I’m sure the nit wit didn’t give it a thought. I’m thinking of all the things I could have been saying when I worked there. To the lady in the modem section: “M’am, you need help making a connection?” To the hottie in the portable computer section: “I bet I could help you into a new laptop?” To the lady in the accessories area: “Could I interest you in a hard drive?”…and on and on.
BTW: I scored a 10% on the “Asshole/bitch test,” so, hence my handle, brendabnicer2.

Shaft … Nice !!! LOL
And NO …
I didn’t.
However, when it came to the optometrist … 🙂
I’d like to take this opportunity to public thank Geoffrey for being a total sweetheart and super nice guy !! 🙂
I’ve been wanting a Gmail account badly, but couldn’t seem to get my paws on an invite … well, the other day Geoffrey posted on his site that he had three invites available if any of his regular readers was so interested, so of course …
I asked !!
And ‘lo and behold,
Geoffrey gave one of his to me !!
I’m so excited to check it out !! 🙂
Thank you !!!!!
Geoffrey … when you say “nice shoes”, is “shoes” code for “rack”? ‘Cause if it is, it’s a good line !! lol

Oh Clio! You WILL come drinking with us, if we can manage to get you into the states for more then a weekend. And if yOu go to Dr. Z, make SURE you gret out there a couple of days ahead of time to aclimate yourself, and get in a round of bar hopping in…

Another convert..er..I mean patient…

Is that the secret code, Shaft?
If so, could you please provide the decoded translation?
or is it just…
Wanna fuck?

I’ll have to remember that line. It rates up there with “Nice shoes, wanna fuck?”
I’ve got a pain in my side from laughing at the two of you…………I’m never going to go drinking with y’all – afraid of how much water / coke / virgin cocktails….will come straight back down my nose.

Wait!!!…don’t tell me!…He asked you if your eyes were bothering you and you replied:
“Is that code for something”
No…wait. thats not it…I got it!
He asked “Is that CABLE bothering your eyes?” and you replied “Is that code for something?”
nooooo…wait…
…
He bent over your amply endowed figure and looked int your baby blues’ and said ” you look like a lady that needs some cable”
and you replied “Is that code for something”
no…thats not it…
I got it….I think…yea…
um…hmmm…
*snicker*
The only reason I used to the “is that code” line was because he used the word “cable”.
You think that was bad …
Wait until you read my post about me and the gawd-awfully hot eye doctor I had for my eye exam !! 🙂
Ok…this is going too far. I went shopping yesterday for a new sound system. I started by staring at the racks of tuners, DVD players and amps in the sound room, and you guessed it…the sales guy comes over and asks me…”you neeed any help?”
I didn’t detect any inference from that statement except for the fact that he wanted to HELP me, so I wasn’t able to use the “Is that code for something, but NEXT time, I’ll be armed with it.
It figures: Amy goes geek shopping and manages to make the sales guy blush. SLUT BITCH! You’re just getting in practice for the BET thing, but it WON’T work!
BTW, I did buy a sound system…now I have to figure out how to wire the darn thing together,
peace out.
