Believe it or not, tonight was my first, and last, time visiting the shitbox called Wal-Mart.
The reviews are in:
Mrs. Fly: “This place is just awful, awful…I felt like suffocating. I just wanted to get out of there.”
“TheFly”: Wow, Cramer was right. This place does suck. It has the look and feel of Government. A ghetto it is, I tell you.”
Fly kids: “Ooh, ooh, can I get that Daddy?”

Fly, I live in a small town in Texas and Wal-Mart is the only place which can furnish things I need for y survival. But! It is the worst place ever, I hate the lights and flooring, and the fat black girls at the check out station.
What can be done?
Ever see the South Park walmart episode? Your doomed…you will forever shop at Walmart.
Ron Paul ,
Dang IT! move to 5th Av in NYC where I live and Flea thinks he dose, Ya ‘all bring the fam- up here, and get a place around 5th. not to far hear! don’t go slumming into that upper east side , crap…5th to park, and you be right round the corner from madison, and you won’t be looking at no more of them their fatty cashiers, while picking the furnishings, fact maybe even the flea might work one of them taxis to get you from store to home!
Try a kmart or sears (except for the tools) lately? Eddie still working on the decor concept
I stopped at a Wal-Mart in the Midwest to grab a pillow. That place was a trip. Imagine if you were on shrooms.
why you go War Malt Sweah-n-gn?
You glow flesh murrett, too?
Fluck’n Ledneck!
I told you the Barber charged Fly 5 bucks more than Mrs. Fly for their kid’s haircut because Fly got the kid a mullet.
I just can’t believe that it took you so long before you decided to check out Wal-Mart.
What ever “possessed” you to want to do that?
If you want to see the rejects from the insane asylum, go shopping at 3 a.m. at your local “Wally World”, so I am told.
What happened to acropora?
Good call on the ECB intervention.
I wanted to buy some low-end presents, for some low-end people.
When it comes down to “low-end presents, for some low-end people”, I think you’ve got Wal-Mart confused with Family Dollar (FDO).
The lighting at Walmart gives me seizures.
I take pictures for Walmart.com and am proud to report that I have made more money off of them then I will ever spend there.
I once got kicked out of Wally World at 3am. Everything else was closed in the town that we were in, somewhere in Indiana.
Apparently they didn’t like us goofing off, but the 7 hillbillies with 10 total teeth between them were ok to spit their chew on the floor and make nasty grunting noises. Yeah, buddy!
I will defend Wal Mart (at least the super centers). I have been to major cities like the DC area and there is no Wal Mart Super Center within 50 miles of the place (or a Target Super Center). The grocery stores there know it and the prices are at least 20-25% higher on average as a result. Its free market capitalism. The grocery store are sticking it to the people and as soon as a Wal Mart is allowed to be built many people can stretch their food budgets.
Not everybody can or wants to shop at overpriced yuppified Whole Foods, Ann Taylor, etc.
Given the Walmart experience is universally bad, I don’t know how Target keeps screwing it up. Ever been to a Target Greatland? with all the groceries? It’s almost nice inside.
Trader you buy your groceries at Ann Taylor? Or you just like your “peaches” warmed in a sweater?
I think SuperTarget’s screw up is on the price points. The national brands are more expensive than Wal Marts and about the same price as a Publix or Albertsons on sale. Only SuperTargets private label (Archer) competes in price with Wal Marts price on the national label.
Boomer-No idea what I was thinking when I said Ann Taylor. Been up since 4 A.M.
So Fly, do you have satellite at the Trailer or are you “borrowing” cable internets from your neighbor down the way?

I did a survey after I noticed excessive B.O. from the customers at Wal Mart. It came out one in four have B. O. The trick to shopping Wal Mart is to go early in the morning when they first open. Most customers are still drunk from the night before and can’t drive until 12:00 noon. Do the word Chuck Wagon people ring a bell?
Fly,
LNN rules. Up 9 points today on good earnings. That should bode well for your VMI.
Thanks again for the solid call,

fly is doing the training necessary to understand the pain of buying stocks like NTRI. Can shopping at a super wal mart be far behind?
FLY VMI a close over 88 hits the highest odds level in the run between 80 and 120….88 to 100 provides the best win ratio within the range.
On a totally unrelated matter, how smart / stupid are you? Take the IQ test.
Let’s see if the Flys “155 IQ” will put him in the top 10%.
My sense is that he will probably claim that he is in the top 1%, along with Albert, and tell us “low-IQers to fuck off.

(Btw, I was 40.1% smarter than the “average”. That and $3.50 will get me a grande hazelnut mocha at SBUX. In other words, don’t take this test too seriously.)
Ho Ho Ho Chi Min
What’s the point of initiating coverage with an underweight, as JPMorgan did with BWLD? And they do so after the stock has been almost cut in half in six months?
It seems like JPM is doing their best to fuck themselves out of any future fees from financings/deals. Are they not worthy of an Honorary Asshat Award?
I am smarter than the average bear!

The clues are all here for anyone wanting to connect the dots.
PUD —
Get them back by shorting JPM. I am.
Aside: the BKX is looking like the Hindenburg about now, fellahs. Not good for the market, I don’t care what Oracle did.
SaNTa = older than 47.5.

Way to jinx BWLD by posting on front page yesterday. VMI looks nice 🙂
Jake,
Wrong. I’m 21.
(Use your crystal skull next time)
LNN continues to be the sunshine in my portfolio. Up 96% since June.
just bought len 16.79 bought chs 9.86 bought c 29.46
I don’t get this joke. Does anyone understand the punchline?
A Florida man is terribly depressed, so he dials up the suicide hotline. He ends up in touch with the hotline’s call center in Pakistan.
“I’m suicidal,” the man tells the operator.
After a short pause and some background chatter, the operator responds: “Do you know how to drive a stick?”
Hey Fly, shouldn’t you be gloating over your LNN call a few months ago?
Fly is tripping out on the black light he bought from WalMart.
Did you see Albert Lord? And was he making a beeline for the exit with stolen snickers bars falling out of his pockets screaming “let’s get the fuck out of here”
LOL!
Punjab –
Insert “Al Qu’aida recruiting office” for the “suicide hotline” and the light will come on, I expect.
Could someone PLEASE!!!! help me out and explain to me why FSLR is an 18 billion dollar company.
SaNTa– sorry, you must have been temporarily possessed by the soul of an aging hippy with your “Ho ho ho Chi Minh” chant.
That was big back when Jane Fonda was the bomb.
The subprime diners are all being abandoned. Woohoo.
What, you don’t like a company who hires 89 years old at minimum wage to great you at the door?
5–
It’s a $4.7 billon company inside the steroid pumped body of an $18bn company.
Fly still dealing with his “Wal-Mart flourescent lighting hangover.”
Fly went back to the Wal-Mart Hair Salon this morning. He found out that he and his son can get a mullet for $5.
I would be. I went to walmart once to buy a propane tank–by the time I left, I felt tempted to give up bbqing rather than stay there and pay
“sorry, you must have been temporarily possessed by the soul of an aging hippy with your “Ho ho ho Chi Minh†chant.”
It happens. My Chief was a Green Beret during the Vietnam war.
You da man, Jake!
I guess I needed more coffee
SaNTa:
That’s balls up. Are you really a Canuckistanian Warrior (Sioux?)?
Tell your Chief we say thanks.
