Yes I have an opinion... you are fucking gay, just admit it already... you must think about chugging choad all the time... it's very obvious from all your posts... that's why you distract yourself with ridiculous arguments about quantam physics and CD retailers!!! Come on and just say the words Chris "I am a homo, I would like a dick in my mouth everyday and probabaly (even more likely) a savage-man load injected straight up my rectum" Just let it go and stop being so uptight all the time... you will feel better about yourself.

hehe

thanks joe, your opinion is always insightful.

Isn't it great to have a friend who can use the phrase "savage-man load" in an endearing way?

Sorry this is rambling bullcrap. nebel September 27 2003, 09:40:55 UTC
I used to be a Retail Grunt-whore for one of those nice large northeast CD/DVD retail stores. (what chain is your brother in BTW?) I used to get very aggravated, because all the Stupid Customers would bitch at ME, the low end Retail Grunt-Whore that everything is waaaaay too overpriced. I just think the average person is too stupid to realize who is *really* in charge of the prices. It certainly ain't the kids working in the store. Yes, i know sales were crappy this year, especially around christmas (When i had the pleasure of seeking winter-break employment) But isn't the economy in general crappy? I was under the impression that *all* retail stores were doing shitty business this year, and remember managers from all types of stores in the mall where i worked complaining. How can your brother be sure his lack in sales is soley due to music downloaders? In short- i agree with your point... the "war" is on with the record companies, the Business Retail Slavedrivers are just unfortunate casualties caught on the battlefield.

nah, not rambling bullcrap..

he works for suncoast, part of the bestbuy megacorp (he is the NE regional manager). and yes, I think the economy in general is crappy and the first thing people cut when the strings start to get tight is luxuries. So, in short, he can't be sure. He probably has just heard all of the arguments before and because his numbers are in jeopardy (regardless of the cause) he got a little hot. (and I have some passion for this issue so that probably didn't help!)

what's really funny is that when we got up this morning he was hounding me for a login to my ftp server! (I took it off kazaa for now.. curse you RIAA!!)
