David: Overheard at Best Buy
I was not there of my own volition, I'd first like to point out.

I took a walk down the Wii aisle. A Best Buy employee was talking to a middle-aged man, obviously purchasing a video game for a son or nephew. I began overhearing the conversation in medias res.

Middle-Aged Man (MAM): ...game about?
Young and Enthusiastic Best Buy Employee (Steve): Have you ever heard of Halo 3?
MAM: Yeah...
Steve: It's pretty much the Wii version of that.

I glance over and see that the game in question is Metroid Prime: Corruption. It is at this moment that I realize that Steve has not played Metroid Prime: Corruption. I'd almost venture that Steve has not played Halo 3 either. MAM catches sight of my shaking head as I glance at Steve while walking by, and seems to understand that I am inferring Steve don't know shit, because his next line is,

MAM: Could you just point me in the direction of your sports games?

You should have offered MAM some advice.

That does not surprise me. Product knowledge is not high on the priority list there.

Dude, I used in medias res and this blog is still rated as elementary.



I must have gone to a really shitty elementary school.

So, what about runon scentence length, I mean come on I could just use really really really really really really really long scentences and not use punctuation and it would look like a really long string of words that makes up a coherent, or not coherent thought.

Or something like that.
