if you had 5 minutes...
 
....to take anything you can fit in a shopping cart in any store of your choice.
what store would you pick and what would you grab ?

like the old shopping spree contests they had back in the day.




to show how blindly stupid i am - i'd go to a best buy/future shop and head straight to the DVDs.
grab as many Criterions/foreign/box sets i could.


electronics or jewlery would probably be smarter choice but i dont want the hastle of selling stuff i pick later. I'd just fill up on DVDs i couldnt otherwise afford.



what would you go nuts on ?

bloody_ribcut 03-20-2008 08:27 AM

id fill up the cart with horror dvd's and all the latest ps2,3,and x-box,360 games, then throw an expensive keyboard on top and im good.

yup jewelery. Then I'd buy an old wooden chest and keep the jewelry in there with all my monies. YARR

Yah, I'd go to a jewelry store . Do you realize how much a shopping cart full of diamonds would be worth?

yes - and sadly i'd still go right to the DVD place like an idiot - with my wife yelling and screaming and swearing at me the whole way.


edit .. screw that - i'd go to a high end camera store.

the most logical pick

my first thought was Best Buy for the highest end computer they have[sick of getting a new one only to have it out-dated in a few months] then a bunch of DVDs and CDs....but the diamond thing sounds better.

VampiricClown 03-20-2008 09:03 AM

I'm going to go with what Newb said on this.

I was thinking DVD, Games, CD, but after the jewelry comment, I think I'd go with that, sell the stuff, then go on a second shopping spree, and grab all the other stuff. lol

I with you Dolly. Snatch and grab all the diamonds, platinum and gold.....then sell it all for a fat bank account. :cool:

Shall we say that you wouldn't be able to re-sell whatever you'd got from the shop? Otherwise everyone will just pick diamonds, and it kind of defeats the object of the exercise! :p

i was thinking the same thing myself....


what frivilous whims or much needed items would you indulge in. assume you couldnt sell what you got later.

_____V_____ 03-20-2008 09:53 AM

massacre man 03-20-2008 10:44 AM

Gift cards to said store. They're smaller than the DVDs and CDs I'd want to get so chances are I would be able to get more than a cart's worth of items.

In that case I would go to drum shop and grab a new DW 7 piece drum kit and all top of the line Zildjian K cycmbals. I would make it all fit in the cart. :cool:

GorePhobia 03-20-2008 11:21 AM

If it was a Best Buy or some sorts set up the right way I would go to the Apple Mac section that they have now and grab a few of their iBooks and desktop comps which would be amazing and would really only take about a minute to grab if they are in the box and then I'd quickly rush over to the video game section and grab an XBox 360 with some games, a PS3 and some games and then I would hit the DVD section and try and grab some DVDs I don't have already.

I know the layout of the Best Buy near me very well since I used to work there so I am pretty sure that if I rushed I could get everything I really really wanted in under five minutes.

X¤MurderDoll¤X 03-20-2008 12:13 PM

best buy - new laptop, new non-broken camera, video camera etc.

or

Liquor store - as much grey goose as I can fit in a cart

Dante'sInferno 03-20-2008 12:29 PM

I would head to best buy and get:

Every nine inch nails halo

Every David Bowie CD

Every X-files Season

Peanut M&M's

Every Jack Nicholson Movie

And every family guy season.

Posher778 03-20-2008 12:32 PM

Fry's or Movie Stop. All the dvds i could nab. Jewelry is smarter, but i'm not known for my brain anyway.

Zero 03-20-2008 02:06 PM

logically - the cash regsiters and any office safe

emotionally - dvds and cds - probably just grabbing whole shelves that i'd sort through later

maybe computer equipment

Psycom5k 03-20-2008 05:41 PM

Ok i'd go to Best Buy, Best computer they had, then i'd get a ps3 and a 360, and a Wii, all the games I could, then to the dvd station. if I had time i'd grab some video equipment.

Freak 03-20-2008 05:57 PM

I would go to Best Buy as well.Hit up games, dvds, and computer entertainment.

Despare 03-20-2008 06:00 PM

Best buy is great, expensive electronic equipment (grab all that Bose stuff early, it's small and expensive) with videogames and movies... even some music. Now that would be one hell of a shopping spree. Laptops too... fill the cart with macbook airs for quick and easy resale.

_____V_____ 03-20-2008 06:03 PM

Eh? If we are going to Best Buy, I ll need 30 mins. Hold the cops till then.:cool:

Disease 03-20-2008 06:18 PM

A gun and some hair spray... I guess I would have to visit some American store like wallmart for that.

Freak 03-20-2008 06:22 PM

Just wondering if I can choose bank vault instead?

Despare 03-20-2008 06:22 PM

Oh, and while I was at Best Buy I'd see if they had an instructional DVD on how to turn every discussion into either a serious political debate or an argument filled with generalizations and stereotypes. Can't live without one of those.

Is a bank a store?

If you answered yes: you go ahead and choose anything you like, you little retard. ;)

I need something to help me with the sarcasm and also some general help with just being an ass. I feel I can improve...



Maybe a pawn shop in California but only if it has lots of movies, guns, jewelry, and electronics. Although jewelry seems tough to resell, some of the rings I tried to resell were a pain.

hammerfan 03-21-2008 03:42 AM

I'd go to Suncoast and load it up with DVDs
