Well in stories like this its a pretty big difference. It may seem trivial, but if they went with “accidentally discharged” it doesn’t excite nearly the interest (see: pageviews) as “misfire”; mainly because the word “fire” is present. Not sure if that was their intent, or if it was just being sloppy.
July 25th, 2012 at 9:11 AM
Do the Phil approach Cliff Lee about a trade?
July 25th, 2012 at 9:12 AM
Wrong. He “discharged” his firearm; he didn’t “misfire” it. To misfire is to not fire at all.

July 25th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
Wal-Mart is the worst. I end up there maybe 1-2 times a year and a piece of me dies every time I step into the store. If you must, go right at 8am when it opens as most of the mouthbreathers that go there are uncapable of getting anyplace that early.

I also think they would avoid trading him in the division, but whether that is wise is another question.

July 25th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
I don’t understand, what are you people doing in Wal-Mart that is so terrible? You go in, grab what you need, pay and leave. There’s no minimum amount of conversation you have to have with other people before they let you leave. It’s not like you have to sit and have philosophical discussions with the other customers.

exactly. wal-mart is worth going to for a few things: shampoo, soap, detergent, and otc drugs and whatnot. everything else gets purchased at target/harry peter/local stores. I’ll gladly give them each a few dollars more to be able to avoid wal-mart. and thats not a knock against wal-mart and their business model. i just hate fighting the crowds and sketchy people and then getting to the checkout isles and only 3 of the 28 fucking lanes are open.

Target is a wildly better run store and has much better customer service, is cleaner, more organized, and just generally a more pleasant experience. Also they typically have higher quality products then does Wally World. And yeah, i hate Wal-Mart’s business practices too.
In general though, I’m not a big fan of big box stores and monstrosity shopping developments, but I’m a snobby city slicker.
July 25th, 2012 at 9:33 AM
Besides their employees being mouthbreathers and incompetent, the parking lot being a death trap that will get your car bashed in, from the freak show panhandling and petitioning out front, to the slow-ass cash register lines, to the people letting their kids run wild and letting them use the toy department as their personal daycare, and the fact that customers arguing among themselves looks like a domestic violence situation, and this all being clouded with a smell of burnt popcorn, I love Wal-Mart.

Most of the things you listed are not unique to Wal-Mart, and have a lot more to do with the population where you’re shopping than the actual store.
I can’t believe I’m defending Wal-Mart, but I guess I can only hope to one day be in a situation like all of you where I don’t care how much I pay for things.
July 25th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Totally agree. It’s no different than Target or Meijer.
Not around here. Target is filled with cougars, college students and people of sound mind. Wal-Mart is a petri dish of disfunction. I’d concede there might be some Yeti Wal-Marts out there that are well-run, clean and calm.

Bear’s probably right, it has a lot to do with where you live. My Walmart in Maine was fine, we didnt even get a Target up there till I was in college. When I moved down to PA, the Walmarts here are disaster areas. Dirty stores, gross people, slow lines. Definitely a Target girl now.
July 25th, 2012 at 9:41 AM
Spencer, you’re being far too reasonable.
July 25th, 2012 at 9:41 AM
Considering my Dad and Uncle were kicked out of a Toys R Us back around 1990 for getting into a Nerf gun war in the middle of the store, I see nothing wrong with this.
July 25th, 2012 at 9:41 AM
The worst thing about Wal-Mart is that you can get just about anything you could possibly need at a very good price. I hate that.

Target is also a haven for hot suburban mommy types and that’s a huge plus.
July 25th, 2012 at 9:44 AM
Remember hen Wal Mart ran the buy American ad campaign back in the 80′s, then stock Taiwanese/Chinese junk at the end of the aisle and priced it below the Made in America stuff? That was fun.
July 25th, 2012 at 9:44 AM
Yes, Target is totally a millionaire’s haven

I am actually a former Target employee. Agree with the former, not familiar with the latter being true.

Found it.
“My wife woke me up 4:00 in the morning. She said, “I want you to go downstairs and cook breakfast for the children.” And I looked at the clock and I said, “Dear, it’s 6:00 in the morning.” She said, “Exactly. Go down and cook for the children. They have to go to school.” I said, “Yes, but to eat at 6:00, isn’t that bad for your stomach? I mean, they just ate twelve hours ago.” My wife said, “Bill, get out of that bed and go downstairs and cook breakfast for your children!!” I said, “Well, I don’t know what they want to eat.” She said, “It’s down there! Now you get out of the bed!” And I said, “But where are the pans? Do we have pans to cook with?” She said, “Bill, I’m not talking to you anymore! You ask another stupid question, so help me God, I’ll get the shotgun out of the closet and blow your face off!!” I said, “Well, there’s no need to become violent about this. You seem to be having trouble intellectualizing on where the cooking apparel is.” So I fell back to sleep again. The next thing I knew, there was a bucket of ice water being shaken over my head, and this woman, that I’ve been married to for some 17 years, was standing over me like this. [makes angry face at audience] “Now, you get up and cook some breakfast or you’re gonna wear this bucket of ice water!!!” So I said, “You’re serious, aren’t you?” So I got up. Needless to say, I was angry. And I went downstairs without putting on my robe. Standing there in my pajamas, and I’m talking to myself. I said, “Get these, go down and cook breakfast, but it’s six o’clock in the morning,” [angrily cooking breakfast] and I slam the pans down. Blam! On the stove. I slam them down and go to the refrigerator and look around and I get to the damn bacon and the sausage, cooking breakfast, six o’blam in the morning, and I grab the- you have to be careful with eggs. “God! I have to cook breakfast! Boom!!” I turn around. The first one down was the four-year-old. The child looked lovely. Cute little face, clean. Hair in little braids, little things, you know. “Good morn’, Daddy.” And I said, “What do you want for breakfast!?” The four-year-old has the ability to see through and find the wrong thing. The child saw through my body what was behind me. She saw the chocolate cake. She said, “Can I have the chocolate cake?” And I said, “Chocolate cake, where?” She said, “Chocolate cake behind you.” And I looked… and there was chocolate cake! The child wanted chocolate cake for breakfast! How ridiculous! And I said… and someone in my brain looked under chocolate cake and saw the ingredients: eggs! Eggs are in chocolate cake! And milk! Oh goody! And wheat! That’s nutrition! “What do you want?” “Can I have some chocolate cake?” “Chocolate cake coming up.” [imitates slicing sound] Sliced it for her and served it. “Now, you need something to drink with the chocolate cake, something breakfast… grapefruit juice!” [Woman in audience] No-o-o! [Cosby] This is not your child! So I give the child a glass of grapefruit juice and chocolate cake — nutrition. Eggs, milk, and wheat in the chocolate cake. And… I didn’t have to cook. And the other four came downstairs. And when they came downstairs… Those of you who have children, you’ve seen them come downstairs for school. [imitating sluggish children] And they got to the kitchen. [imitating sluggish children] They saw the four-year-old eating chocolate cake. And they said, “Dad! Where did she get the chocolate cake?” And they went to the child and said, “How did you get chocolate cake?” She said, “Dad give me chocolate cake!” And they looked at me and said, “Father… could we have chocolate cake?” And their father said, “Chocolate cake coming up!!” Four slices — [imitates slicing sound] — and grapefruit juice! And five children sat at breakfast and the morning music was playing [imitating bass guitar] and they were eating chocolate cake and singing songs to me: “Dad is great! Give us the chocolate cake!” And we had a ball until… she came down like this. [makes angry face at audience] And when she saw what the children were eating… [when his wife sees that he has given the kids chocolate cake for breakfast] I’ve always heard about people having a conniption, but I’ve never seen one. You don’t want to see ‘em! My wife’s face… split! The skin and hair split and came off of her face so that there was nothing except the skull! And orange light came out of her hair and it lit all around! And fire shot from her eye sockets and began to burn my stomach! And she said, “Where did they get chocolate cake from?!?” And I said, “They asked for it!!” And the children, who had been singing praises to me, lied on me, and said, “Uh-uhh!! We asked for eggs and milk, and Dad made us eat this!!!” And my wife sent me to my room, which is where I wanted to go in the first place. So you see? We are dumb, but we are not so dumb. It takes great thinking and work to keep from working. “

Amazon Prime pays for itself with one big purchase every year. Everything after that is gravy.
example: Purchased a new TV on Amazon. Beat any deal around by 200 bucks on the particular model, and shipping was free. If i had to pay that freight cost anywhere else, it would’ve been 75-115 bucks. Now throw in the fact that if I had to drive to Best Buy (45 miles away in a tahoe = $30 gas alone) and hassle with that, i would’ve wasted a perfectly good saturday.

Went back to DC this past spring with my wife (fukc you cherry blossoms). Went to a couple old hang-outs and remember pulling tail left and right. Got mad at my wife (internally)…

this all comes down to your practice philosophy…personally, i think hitting into nets can lead to ingraining bad habits unless you’re really disciplined with your mechanics. i know you wanna hit a real ball, but you’d get more progress by working on your swing without a ball in front of a mirror.
something like that would be great if you had the room for 50 or so yards, but if it’s smaller, id probably spend that money on a putting green in the backyard instead.

I often visit People of Wal Mart for a laugh. The other day, it featured a picture of a WM employee cleaning up an aisle where someone had taken a dump.

That’s unpossible because Cincinnati is part of the South.

Well, it did technically side with the Union during the Civil War, though there was internal squabbling regarding that point. Of course, Kentuckians routinely forget this.
Hell, Kentucky along with New Jersey and Delaware were the only states to vote for McClellan in the 1864 election. And whereas NJ and DE were very close, Kentucky went against Lincoln about 70-30.

I think Spencer hit the nail on the head. You’d be well served observing your swing throughout the motion and making corrections as necessary. However, if your intention is to actually hit the ball, then the further away the net is from your clubhead the better. You can see ball flight easier. Would also agree on the putting green. So many strokes are given away on the green that people fail to realize.

It’s comments like this that make me think DDMCD is CRM’s idea of a fun time in the comments thread.

The Commonwealth ended up siding with the North in the Civil War. I guess that makes ‘em traitors against the traitors.
