Heya Herb Hamilton, ya like that title? I tried to get in the seat part, but my thighs won't fit through the openings since I threw the Ice Cream Carnival with no points for prizes - the deadline is noon 8-27-07 Eastern. Here are the current entries: Carnival of Ice Cream - 24 Hour Warning
Much like the Best Buy store, I'd rather eat worms than go to Home Depot. OK, Home Depot serves it's purpose for most of the public. For people like me it is a spiraling bottomless slide through hell on a razor blade into a pool of rubbing alcohol filled with piranhas.
Regardless of the agony it would put me in I had to go. I'm about to put my own home on the market and needed some fix up things. There were only four items on my list. If you're wondering what someone like me would be buying in the Home Depot:
It wasn't until I was home that I realized that the list was left in the grocery cart, in the parking lot at Home Depot. Why is this important? It really isn't, but my feeble little mind was able to recall how ridiculous a list with both super glue and a toilet seat must look. Plus, the list was on one of little, custom made, "honey do" type pads with my photo, name, website, etc. Great, Chris Griffith - Realtor Magnifico & toilet seat prankster.
Hey, I guess it could have been a list for the grocery store with lice shampoo and Fleets written on it, right?
Enjoy this members only photo I snapped at Home Depot HERE it's funny and crude. If you're a baby about these things, feel free to use your remote and change the channel, pick up the phone and get good therapist, too.
If you want to punish your wife by dragging her to Home Depot in Bonita Springs, HERE IS THE MAP.

Gosh, that other post was funny ! Glad you sent me there. 4 steel nipples, can't wait to look, next time I am there. Linda's comment had me rolling on the floor.
The shopping cart ride looks like fun. I lost a really embarrassing shopping list one time! And the worst part is, I dropped it in the parking lot at my office, and one of the guys recognized my hand-writing, and returned it to me O_o
When I grow up I want to be Linda Davis.
Lisa, how nice of him. LOL
Chris, For some reason I don't think growing up is in your future...you look like you are having entirely too much fun in that shopping cart.
Now Have a Blessed Day,
John Occhi, Hemet CA REALTOR®

Shhh. Don't tell anyone. I don't think so either.
Chris, you do look like you're having a lot more fun that if you were eating worms! And I share your sentiments about a trip to HD. Yuk!
:) True that!
Ouch! Nice descriptive language there.... I'm with you on the trip to HD. Thanks for the laugh!
Chris,
Now, I would be there just for the ride in the cart! LOL! Btw, the other blog is wicked funny!
I know it! I'm still laughing every time I see it!
I agree with John. I don't think growing up is in your to-do list. Keep laughing. It's worked wonders so far. =)
The rest of you only need to make up your mind to get in the cart, too.
For people like me it is a spiraling bottomless slide through hell on a razor blade into a pool of rubbing alcohol filled with piranhas. I really wish you would open up and stop hiding your feelings - it isn't good for you. And BTW I think you should use this photo on your next mailing. Where are ya moving to?
Can I leave my ice cream post here? http://activerain.com/blogsview/185443/Perkey-Coffee-in-Pueblo
Sugar coated for everyone's enjoyment, Dena. Just wait until I blog about Ace Hardware.

I like the idea of going to stores and buying two things so obscure
the best thing is when you get to the cash register, you act like you're up to something or very suspicious like you're being followed...
the "What in hell was that??" look people get on their faces is payment enough
someone needs to remind me to never sit on a toilet that Chris has been around with her SuperGlue
Anywhere you want, Dena. Maybe the paint isle?
Love that title. It is apparent though that you only go to the stores where the seating is a challenge. Can't wait for the post from Animal Safari .
Chris,
It looks like you had fun in spite of yourself. We had to go to Lowe's today to shop for a dishwasher to replace ours. UGH - I hate those big box home improvement stores.
Chris - hysterical post! I can see where Heinz gets the sponges (although I don't know why anyone would want to eat one), but where do they get the main ingredient from? Is there a farm someplace where these are grown? I found a graphic that you may find funny for this, but I dare not put this out to the public. If you'd like to see it (not clean) then send me an e-mail and I'll e-mail you back (adam@adamwaldman.com).
Chris, want to play bumper buggies?
Sarah: Rubber baby buggy bumpers?
Chris you are brave! When I first looked at the picture I thought you were pushing it and was trying to determine what the two things in the cart were--vases ?? Then I realized dang shes IN the cart and thats her legs!
another funny post to start my morning! looks like we picked up another IceCream Carnival post!
Hello Chris,
I loved the photo, how in the heck did you get up in that cart? I know I would have busted my butt trying to do that! Humor is good, my attention span is short so some of the posts lose me.
Chris, this is a fun blog. I love your zest for life that comes out in these posts. My high school friend is always embarrassed by my antics when we go out and I feel full of ...spotted...er, never mind.
I love the picture and I have a wife that really doesn't mind going to Home Depot.

WHAT!! she probably thinks Sears is fun, too! Monika! Say it ain't so!
I HATE going to Home Depot- dread, dread, dread it. Chris, in the interest of the AR community, why didn't your mommy insist that you wear a bicycle helmet when rolling you around in the cart? We can't lose your humor here, and you know the horror stories about large children tipping the cart over and SPLAT on the concrete. Perhaps, while I'm waiting for few listings to sell, I'll introduce a new bill that requires helmets in the Home Depot carts.
Did you climb in there or did AL have to lift you? That man's a saint!
I think the Shopping list was the least of your worries...
Google Homedepot Bonitasprings
Bob. I missed you.
Again. Bob, I missed you.
Monika loves to shop anywhere she can spend my money, He rmoney is kept in a secret place. LOL
Al is a saint, I bet he's a pretty entertained one at that!
Heinz Spotted Dick Pudding 10.5 oz. can
Spotted Dick Sponge Pudding in a 10.5 oz. tin. A lovely sponge pudding studded with raisins. Has the consistency of a rich moist cake. A favorite dessert amongst English school children - hence the silly nick-name. Makes a great gag gift too! Heat up in the microwave or on the stove and serve with one of our custard sauces (sold separately).
So I googled it and here it is-sounds yummy-not really. Studded with raisins! Sounds a bit weird for Home Depot to be selling. Great post. Thanks for the laughs.
78 minutes just to buy this short list? Just exactly what do you do with your time, my dear? Flirt with the guys in the paint department?
No, but the guys in tile and carpet are h-o-t hot!
How dare you judge my home depot shopping prowess!
Ahhhh....the Tile and Carpet Guys!....so you like getting rug burns, eh?.....
LOL I like those guys in the lamp dept. too. That's where I found this right HERE
Hmmmm....I'm not sure that the Lamp Dept. would be the right location for this. Unless, of course, it was in the "Red Light" section!.....
Well, if the escort thing doesn't work out and I don't close any loans in September....Hmmmm?
An hour at Home Depot Or Chinese Water Torture Treatment...HMMMM..Tough Choice.
Inquiring minds want to know how you got into that Cart?
Oh, I got it, one of the Hotties in Tile and Carpet Land put you up there
LOL at Ginger. I used a piece of pvc and vaulted in.
This is a great and funny post! I dread trips to Home Depot as well - I am the least handy person alive. In fact, I included this fact on my latest meme.
Love the post and I totally agree with you. Lowes has more of the type of items I like to look at. I will say in the spring, I do like the garden center. Nice plants, palms and flowers.
Well then, I usually follow up my visits to Home Depot with a stop at Hooters for some HOT ............wings. To get over the pain inflicted by my visit to the HD torture chamber.
Am I the only person who loves Home Depot?
I love Home Depot! There. I said it.
I love Home Depot, too: grills, lawn mowers, power tools, deck furniture - all fun!
But not when I really look at why I go there. I go there for work projects, but not the big, glorious, home-dazzling ones, but the pukey, time-consuming, I gotta-invent-the-solution-myself ones. At that point it's like going to the dentist or the chiropractor - they get the money and I get the pain and the job is never completely done.
But if I could go on a shopping spree with someone else's money...
Boy, now there's a cart I would LOVE to push!!!
Off a pier?
