Black Friday Quest for an ATV Tracker, Regal Cookware, and My Scene Barbie (With Vespa Scooter)

Black Friday, as it is called, one of the busiest shopping days of the year, overloaded Americans with even more stuff to clog their lives with. Wal-Mart won hands down as the retailer shoving the most junk down people’s throats.

A man who calls himself Outraged Richard partook in the materialistic celebration, and the following story is quoted verbatim as he related it to a throng of raving elementary children:

I was standing in line at the behemoth Wal-Mart waiting for a chance to grab several items: a Fisher Price Super 6 Volt Sport Tracker ATV for $99.99, a Regal 34 piece Non-Stick Cookware Set for $28.36, and a My Scene Barbie with Vespa Scooter for $6.46.

As soon as the mega-store opened for business I made a run for the Tracker ATV in thinking the younger and more spry among the degenerate Wal-Mart crowd would be the first to get their clutching little hands on this particular item.

Sprinting in front of the older and fatter customers, I soon found myself neck and neck with a wee lad not 4 feet high who was evidently an accomplished runner. I slyly let him take the lead and as soon as he slowed to round a corner I delivered an enormous back of the neck clothesline, picked him up by the breech of his pants and hurled him down a perpendicular aisle.

Rounding the next bend at full gait with the newly acquired Tracker now under my arm, I could see an obese middle aged lady approaching the Regal Cookware section. At full tilt, and shouting “Nooo… it’s mine!” I launched myself into the air.

With one fist outstretched and the Tracker under my other arm, I punched her sagging gut with such velocity she dropped everything in her possession except a 2 Quart Round Slow Cooker for $4.86 which she had in a death grip. This Slow Cooker was of no concern to me, only the Regal Cookware Set which I quickly swooped up.

I knew here on out it was a simple mop up operation because no 8 year old little girl was going to outsmart me on the My Scene Barbie with Vespa Scooter for $6.46. True to my previous planning, while the little girl was clutching and preoccupied with the Barbie, I flew at her with my newly aquired bulky items outstretched in each hand and mightily clapped them like a pair of cymbals on either side of her head.

I gathered up my winnings and proceeded to the checkout line, reflecting on what a productive day it had been… at least for me.
