I'm guessing it was only a big deal because "evil guy" made it a big deal.<BR/><BR/>You should post these over on misc.consumers.

Guess I'd better go check my blog to see if they're at it over there.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I wonder if the long lines have anything to do with Tropical Storm Katrina, which looks like it will come straight across Florida & pay you guys a visit. Maybe people are getting smart and stocking up in advance... nah. If they were smart, they wouldn't be shopping at Wal-Mart, right? :-DLarry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-1124893946838217972005-08-24T10:32:00.000-04:002005-08-24T10:32:00.000-04:00Hey great spam!Back to the grind...welcome backHey great spam!<BR/><BR/>Back to the grind...welcome backPerditahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514658966177544171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-1124869787764274922005-08-24T03:49:00.000-04:002005-08-24T03:49:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-1124867926772712542005-08-24T03:18:00.000-04:002005-08-24T03:18:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-1124867252725082562005-08-24T03:07:00.000-04:002005-08-24T03:07:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
