A sad sad story to tell

[Crazy Harry]

Sit around the campfire kids as I tell you a story about a guy. Now this guy was a about six feet tall, glasses, a bit heavyset, and his head hands and feet were a little larger than most peoples. Now one day, due to the usual schedual bouncing you get during finals week, this guy had a good number of hours between his afternoon and evning classes. He decided to hop on the bus and head to the mall to see if those Muppet figures were out yet. When he got there and walked into EB, low and behold, there they were. All four of them (the Piggy exclusive wasn't there, but that's beside the point) were sitting right in front of him. He picked one up to make sure this was accually happening. Sure enough, they were there. They were real. He was broke. That's right. He didn't have any money on him at all. Luckily, the mall where he keeps his account was in the same mall. So he quickly put the figure down and walked (never run in a puplic building) over to the bank only to witness his greatest fear. The bank was closed. You heard me. The figures were there and just begging to be taken home, the guy had no money and the bank was closed. The poor schlub wanted to just collapse right there on the floor into a featel position and cry for his mommy. Insted, he just slowly walked to the bus stop to go back to school. This is a true story. Now go away. I'm drunk.

college students

Chris,

Usually I am against perpetuating the stereotype of "drunk college students", but in this case it's the only acceptable ending to the story!

So, from one college student to another, drink up my friend and good luck getting the figures!!

Jim, the sober college student who will be very drunk this weekend if he can't find his Muppet figures! Well, maybe not drunk, just disappointed

A HAPPY ENDING!!!

Today I left for the mall again and made sure to get there real early. A little too early as none of the stores were open yet. But as soon as they were open, I went in to make sure the figures were still there. They were (still no long haired Piggy, but I was willing to make due). I got my money from the bank, bought them and went home a happy boy. They are now on my bookshelf and I love them. I have to go now and stare at my prize for a while. Bye bye

And instead of getting drunk out of sadness, you can get drunk to celebrate!! It's all good!!

I should have probably pointed out that I was never accually drunk. I just couldn't think of a good way to finish the story so I came up with a quick gag ending.

Just experienced a sad tale of myself, not really a tale but an unfourtanate event. I got the figures today and I was so excited. So I'm showing my mom (I'm not a anti-social 37 year old who lives with his mom, I'm 15) the action figures and she's playing with Bunsen Hunnydew. As she's talking about how everything on the figure moves she starts fiddling with Bunsen's glasses. The inevitable happened, she accidentally broke the glasses off, I nearly screamed . I had to control my rage, remind myself that it was just a small green action figure, and that it wasn't worth killing someone over. I was still upset though, and it brought to mind the age old question why do bad things happen to good people's muppets?

Of course now you can play the guilty trip, get her to buy you and a new one, and maybe an extra figure to cover the pain and loss of the other one, I mean you're 15 it should still work.
