    Catmath strikes again! It’s all $1, but it’s 75% off and worth $10. Normally, that is still $2.50, but not for Sparky!

    I really want to know why it’s so important that the items are in packages. Do you get to see what you buy before paying? $1 isn’t bad if you get something you like, but what if it’s a padded box with a jar of plague virus? I bet they won’t take that back.

      In my experience, you pay way more than that for plague virus. World domination is expensive.

      If your aim’s pretty good, you don’t have to worry if they will voluntarily take it back.

    “can’t not stop and not buy anything”

    So that means you can just browse?

      Oh God! The dreaded triple negative… might as well go ahead and divide by zero now.

        Dividing by zero with cat math results in:

      can’t + not = CAN!
      can + not = CANNOT!

      CAN’T NOT stop and NOT buy anything = cannot make purchase at big 75% off sale…

      But, why ever not?! I want things, and items in packages, all new and cheap! I mean, I was planning on mentioning the ad and everything! What a tease. *pout*

      Lyle my dear, the word add means to do math. The word ad is short for advertisement, or in England, advertisement. I fixed it for you. 8)

        It’s amazing how the signs’ eyes follow you as you drive down Old Sparkytown Road to the new stuff in packages that you can’t not buy.

          They are always watching – judging you, making you feel guilty for not not buying enough packages of stuff.

    The new stuff is only in packages from 10 to 7. So if you show up early, you can see them and touch them without the cardboard and cellophane in the way.

    You can’t stop with out buying something you will see!

    How exactly is Sparky planning on enforcing the “if you stop, you must buy” rule? Guns waved about in a threatening manner? Being shoved into cages of rabid squirrels? Forcing us to eat tuna cupcakes until we buy something?

    That really doesn’t seem to be a sound business model.

      No, dolphin cupcakes are more convincing, but they’re hard to get, plus you have to deal with the protestors.

        [fish corey] There are actually fish called dolphin but they are more commonly referred to as mahimahi because no one wants to order dolphin in a restaurant.[/fish corey]

          In Atlantic waters, the Spanish name is use: “Dorado.”
          Which translates to “$5 more than MahiMahi.”

          A fish as beautiful as it is tasty, I must say.

    Is this what happens when an Extreme Couponer’s stockpile finally gets too big for their house? It goes from “hoard” to “stuff in packages” and is sold for an amount of money only calculable by catmath?

    Trying to make sense of this ad made my migraine worse. If they have Advil! in packages!! for $1, I might need to go and not not buy anything.

      Sparky would never steal. And Santa isn’t dead. And a fluffy bunny delivers chocolate to children that isn’t laced with cocaine.

        I have a fluffy kitty who delivers “surprises” laced with something, but it’s usually dead bugs/leaves/cardboard/whatever she finds on the floor. Basically the same thing, only not.
