Got hurt from going to Black Friday sale

After work I stopped off at wallyworld for their Black Friday DVD sale. I spent 2 hours in there looking through their display and spent like half an hour on the bottom row. A.K.A. the floor since the dumb * that made the display must be five foot nothing. So a 6'3" Japo has to sit on the floor so I can get at the row. Knees hurt, thighs and lower back too all because I ain't made to look at things on the lower shelf.

Got a work out. Feeling the burn.

Scored on TV shows. I got three seasons of "Black Sail" ten bucks a season on some pirate show. No idea about that show. I thought about getting "Orange Is The New Black" but I passed on it since I wasn't sure if it was like "OZ" but for women or more like "Skin-A-Max". I'll let you know if "Black Sail" is any good. Kind a hoping it's like "Spartacus" but piratyee.

"Drunk History" season 3. I got the first 2 and I think I liked it?

"Hannibal" all three season for $22 basically the cost of season 3. I kind a liked the first season but I only watched the first half and stopped.

"100" season 3 didn't know it was out and it was only $7. So score [:D].

I also got the Mel Brooks collection. I had 5 of his movies but I didn't have the other four and it would've been cheaper to buy this than tracking down the missing ones. Also it was on Blu Ray. Not that this was a selling point since my player can't remember where it stopped on Blu Ray. Damn idiot machine named Sony. Did you know they made a pilot "Black Bart" with the language and flavor of the movie?

Few movies I passed on earlier this year with "not worth $15" but at $7 or less I'll risk it [:D]. "Central Intelligence", "Ride Along 2", that prequel to that Snow White movie and a few others.

Good thing I have a bit to return the discs if they're jacked up. Off to bed.

    I feel for you well just a little .. trust me being 5'4 sucks more than having to bend over . of course I do not have to duck or bend over so far to get to the lower shelf's [:D][:D]
    but them dam tall displays I have to climb up to get to the top [B)][B)]

    heck Joe
    I have learned to look for the humor when you can , the world is way to serious to cry about so a good laugh never hurts
    at almost 60 years ( not inches that would be 64 ) I doubt if I am going to get taller [:D][:D]

    I always hit that rack. I got the Rockford files, Gran Torino, History of the world and some other great movies. I had to laugh with you also Yosh. I do the same thing.

    Don't like risking/paying more than $2.99 and prefer $1.99 for rentals. Purchasing ?? haven't checked the "bargain bin" lately but $5.00 was my limit last year.

    Easy to download movies to my tablet and "chromecast" to TV overseas.

    A few years ago "Google Play" and others could see my IP address as "Bogota" and wouldn't sell,, no problem, used a VPN to "hide" my real location and like magic,, no problem. Guess someone figured out it wasn't good to turn down paying customers so no VPN necessary at this time.

    My billing address is Texas and the bad part is paying taxes, need to find an easy purchase / download site that doesn't require paying taxes.

    Black Sails is a great series, you will love it trust me. But you could have done just as good on ebay or Amazon. Season 4 should be out in January and you'll be able to buy it in stores by June.

    Still got sore thighs but not walking like "Young Frankenstein" monster today. Stairs suck. I need to get a house with one floor when I dump this joint.

    Oh it is funny. Seeing a 6'3" Japo on the floor and folks wanna get by. They put the DVDs display in between the grocery section and meds. I was waiting for someone to say "excuse me" while I was on the floor but they had enough sense to rethink that. So I didn't get to say "go use the other isle".

    While on the floor I realized why some folks have kids. To get stuff from the lower shelf [:D]. Also the lower shelf held DVDs 12" deep. They had boxes behind some of the DVDs to push the merchandise forward. But they didn't use it on the lowest shelf so folks didn't have to reach.

    Next year I'm going to stop by the knee pad section first [:D]. Or get one of those wheelie stools from the auto motive [:D].

    I like the $5 bin. I'll roll in there with a shopping cart to half empty the bin so I can do a hard target search. And also it's belly high so no Jap on the floor [:D].

    I didn't plan on getting "Black Sails". I went to pick up a few cheaper than usual DVDs before going to CVS to pick up med.
