No, this is not about macroeconomics and unlawful conduit.

It is about me, the sales season, a shirt I was considering to buy, me moving with the speed of lightning and the dexterity of an elephant, and the hard carton price tag of said shirt hitting me right in my left eye (that is my best eye).

:p

Quite silly. I've just come back home from the ophthalmic ER.

Result: I'm officially a PIRATE for the next 24 hours (eye patch! :D), plus 5 days treatment.

I like the eye patch. I'm considering a pirate costume for next Carnival... though my father-in-law said I look like Moshe Dayan ( :p quite not the right time)

So, arr, and shiver me timbers, thar be sales aplenty!


(edit: a bit blogey, but hey, it's funny, isn't it?)

The point of this thread eludes me, but Risottia is a pirate, so I declare it awesome.

I demand pictures of shirt!

also for the next 24 hours you are officially evil (I suggest you blow up the sphinx or for a more modern twist fight Israels in the Gaza strip)

But will you still have those charming characteristics when you sobered up, SaintB?

I'm not drunk, thats the best part. I have laryngitus and a sprained ankle.

Note: That also makes me sufficiently miserable to carry out any nasty tasks that involve abusing the crew.

Maybe we're supposed to guess what the moral of the OP is? My guess is that one should always wear safety goggles when going shopping.

Only during the January sales, or when shopping at Ikea (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2005/feb/11/shopping.laurasmith).

I'm not going to take pics right now (it's h0050 here, sleepytime!), but it was a pale yellow velvet button-down.
