Sneaking in a Saturday Scribbling.
I was bad and flaked on making a post earlier this week. Not like anyone reading my blog would hold it against me or not understand, but I set myself a goal or standard to post on a regular basis. If I didn't have the discipline to kick out a post every day during the work week, then I should probably not start a blog in the first place. Obviously, I decided to go for it. Being a post short this week also rather bugged me.
First of all, if you haven't been to Eros Blog lately (or more importantly Kill Ten Rats) a great piece on helping gamers to be more successful dating has been penned, so to speak. If any of you know someone who could pawn their dice and pay rent. A lad who can recite the rules of any Palladium system in Tolkien runes. You might want to direct them hence.
Anyway, on to what is happening at my store.
Not too long ago, a man came in looking for the female condom. It seems this item is not widely carried in the city. I can understand to a degree, it's not the most popular of the condoms out there. However, there are still going to be those who prefer it, so why not keep it in stock?
He seemed quite happy with his discovery until he noticed the price. He was shocked it was so much "more expensive" than the other condoms. WTF?! It's not latex, which is cheap to use. It's much larger than a penile condom since it's designed to NOT stick to a shaft. If you compare it to other polyurethane condoms, the price is not out of proportion. And no, I was not willing to knock a couple bucks off the price.
Some folks just can't be happy with finding what they're looking for in the first place.

That article was awesome. It may in fact mark me as a hopeless nerd that I understood it.
Hardly. It just means you're multi-faceted.
And possibly armed with a pouch with a couple pounds of oddly shaped chunks of hard plastic.
I actually don't own any of those. I am wealthy beyond belief in the digital realm, though.
I'll have you know my character is now sporting a weapon that cost me 2.6 million gold pieces, and wearing armor that cost a tidy sum of 3.2 mil gp. And, she's level 98, which means she can own noobs all the damn day long.

Thank heavens for online role-playing games. They literally saved my life during my divorce.
I completely understand.
Slay on with your bad self.
