went in to rite aid to score snackage and did a double take when i saw all the big red heart boxes of candie. shit they should just put the stuff out with the christmass stuff.

They always put the Valentines day stuff out immediately after Christmas..it's a huge holiday for retailers.


FWIW..For What It's Worth...I prefer Wal-Greens for parking lot pimping..especially in the ghetto..They should just have a holiday section in the stores and have stuff for all the Holidays all the time...I want some mo-fo Easter candy now..

My wife works for a company who is a supplier to Walmart and Target. She's basically got to have all product approvals done by the end of January for Xmas '09. That would drive me bonkers.

You can always find swimsuits at Macy's in the winter but they're uber expensive..they bank on the fact that someone needs it for a last minute trip to Mexico or Jamaica..

What annoys me is the Guinness countdown clock to St. Patricks day..While St. Patricks day is a great holiday..it also means that the ski season is winding down which sucks ass..I wish it was always Groundhog day..then I could ski everyday all year..
