I've Got It Real Bad!!!

brigey57 · 12-15-2008, 10:50 PM

On my drive home from work tonight I saw the sign that I see every night. "JR CIGAR" What was I suppose to do. I stopped. I saw. I bought large quantities of CIGARS.

I know I should just drive on past but I heard this faint female voice calling me like the Sirens from Homer's Odyssey.

The next thing I'm getting out of my car and heading in the store. First looking around like I was really going to buy something other than what those little voices were calling me into the walk in humidor to do.

Buy me...buy me...buy me.

Oh I am such a dead man. How many of you have had a similar experience and just succumb to those little voices...buy me...buy me...

Been there done that.......

What burns my a$$ is they dont allow big trucks in there....

they have plenty of parking for campers buses and motor homes. So I quit buying from them mail order too.

But I digress....

I have the same experience when I drive by the Chicken Ranch...

chicken ranch, when I first read this I though, ummm, must be a local KFC or something.... then my memory caught up to me. I dont think they were saying buy me buy me though...something else maybe.

spectrrr · 12-15-2008, 11:57 PM

same thing when I dropped by The Party Source in Cinci (really KY). nice walk in humi there, astounding selection... buy me buy me buy me...

I think "buy me" is fairly accurate.

Technically it is renting or a short term lease

Yep. Every time I go to the party source, my credit card gets a swipe

I have a JRs just up the road a bit from the shop. Luckily for me I am not overly impressed with them so willpower is strong otherwise I would be broke and divorced. Any other B&M is fair game though!

It's tough to retain the "Douche Bag" title, but I try, Ferdinand.

One thing about living in Cali is that we seldom hear that call. Or if we do, its pretty easy to resist. Our B&M's say, "Come buy our $40 OpusX's or our $25 Padron's"

But the internet's siren song sings pretty loud and it is so close, it is almost imposible to resist.
