Looking for FReeper Help- Good Guys or Curcuit City?
10/13/02 | Me

Posted on 10/13/2002 5:49:23 PM PDT by socal_parrot

The Angels just clinched the AL Championship and are on the way to the World Series for the first time in 42 years. As a long time Halo fan, I have a tough quandry, I am itching to riot and loot somewhere, but I am looking for quality merchandise. Should I loot Good Guys or Curcuit City for the best electronic products? Thank you.

Why don't you go to a mercedes dealer and flip over a few cars. You might get more of a thrill than just ripping off some laptops. Or, better yet - steal a mercedes and drive it thru the window of circuit city.

Since I got hosed last week by CC's pathetic extended warranty on a big-screen TV.......you can seek vengeance on my behalf.

Creative. Cool.

Thread moved to chat. The moderator is obviously a Twins fan.

I had a horrible computer buying attempt at Best Buy and CC does suck too. I was thinking of Fry's but their looting policy is very oppressive (what else is new).

What does it mean when a thread is moved to chat? How do you find the chat threads?

I hear the local police dept. has the best resolution TV's, plus I hear they are a pushover if you oink a few times in front of them.

"Chat" threads are under "General Interest" on the list of forums (er, fora).

Chat=General Interest. When a thread moves to the General Interest forum, a message appears that says "Thread moved to chat". General Interest (chat) has been called the dustbin of Free Republic.

I agree. The dustbin reference was made by some poster who was slamming chat. I think some of the most creative threads are on chat. They just tend to get lost like this one, which was all in fun and deserves to get lost.

I think BestBuy is selling Alienware Computers via mail order. They are pretty awesome.....

You are hereby allowed to loot CC in the amount of $150.00 U.S.
Been trying to get that rebate check (my latest computer)for the last ten months.
Oh, I forgot...Get yourself a nice 27" stereo TV. They never returned mine when I sent it in for a warranty repair.
Are they all crooks?

OK, since I am in a hotel in Houston (I really wanted to loot the Best Buy in Yorba Linda), I decided to loot the mini-bar!! When that runs out, it is onto the gift shop!!! I think I will need a lot of those $10.00 aspirin tomorrow.

Go Angels!!!!
