Tuesday.
Harp and I decide to go to Burger King to score some free food and Pokemon Cards from our friend Claudia who works there.
So, after Harp got off work at around 9 pm, I met him at his house and he hopped in with me.
We had texted Claudia ahead so she could have our food already made for us.
When we got there, she had my two double cheeseburgers plain with fries, and Harp's double stacker and chicken fries already for us.
So we sat down and ate our glorious feast.
Shortly after that, she brought us out a white Burger King sack filled with what we had originaly came for; Pokemon cards.

I'm sure your wondering why we were there for Pokemon cards in the frist place, right? Well. We're some of the biggest nerds you will ever meet. And we just wanted some cards. Okay?

Anyway. On with our story.
After we had devided out our bounty of Burger King goodness, we got the great idea to run to Wal-Mart and buy some more cards. (I told you, we're big nerds.) And usually, whenever Harp and I have an idea, we go through with it.
So, we go back to his house to get in his car, which had more gas, to go to town.
We get to Wal-Mart.
We go to the electronics first. Cause that's just who we are. FTW!!
Ahem. Anyways.
We hang out in the electronics department for awhile before heading to the front of the store where all of the trading cards of various sorts are kept.
We're standing infront of a whole display of Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, Baseball, Football, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Naruto trading cards.
Trying to decide what exactly we wanted to buy.
There were so many Pokemon choices.
Booster packs?
Boxes?
Decks?
Bundles?
All the while, we're trying to be cool about all of this mind you.
We eventually decided on two booster packs each.
We walked around trying to find a suitable lane to pay for our goods.
(Oh, and by the way, it's like, 10 or 11 at night.)
We didn't want some cashier that would make fun of us, so we kept walking around trying to hide our cards from other consumers.
We paced back and forth for a good 5 to 10 minutes trying to find the best choice.
Harp said, "Dood, this is just as bad as buying condoms."
I imediatly busted out laughing.
And of course, while we're waiting in line, a group of girls passes buy and we imediatly start browsing through the candy as if to buy something.
Turns out, the cashier we picked was the perfect choice.
She said something about her daughter loving Pokemon, and she herself played Magic the Gathering.
All in all, buying Pokemon Cards is just as bad, if not worse, as buying condoms.
Oh yeah, and we couldn't even make it all the way home before we opened our cards. We pulled over in the Mazzio's parking lot to open our cards and trade.
I traded Harp my Larvitar for his Delibird.

So the moral of this story is;

Food<Pokemon=Condoms<=Car Insurance
