Attempts at malldom

It's a sad state of affairs when Hot Topic runs out of black nailpolish.

They were out last night thus keeping me from getting the most important thing I went to the mall for. The other thing I wanted to get was a precon deck of Magic Cards.

Kay-bee toys:
Clerk: "Magic....Cards?"
Whiny: "Yes"
Clerk: "You mean Yu-Gi-Oh?"
Whiny: "No!"
Clerk: "Why not? Everybody likes Yu-Gi-Oh"
Whiny: "Not me"
Clerk: "Get out of my store!"

Electronics Boutique:
Whiny: "Do you have magic cards?"
Clerk: "Yep, we've got Legions and Odyssey..."
Whiny: "Hmm"
Clerk: "Booster packs! FWAHAHAHAHAAA!...Here, I'll just charge you for some hella expensive Yu-Gi-Oh boosters."

Claire's:
Whiny: Where's the nailpolish...
Pepperkat: Here it is, but I don't see any black.
Clerk: We don't carry black nailpolish...get out, you freaks!

Before entering Rave:
Pepperkat: I doubt they'll have anything black there, it's all too colorful.
Whiny: I don't think Rave is a store, it's just a gallery for people on ecstasy.

After exiting Rave:
Whiny: Wow, Emily, your skin is still glowing from those fluorescent lights.
Pepperkat: I feel sick

Limited Too:
Clerk: Why would you want nailpolish, you're a boy?
Whiny: Because I like black nailpolish
Clerk: Black? They make that?
Whiny: ...
Clerk: Go to Claire's they sell real colors, like pink, there.

Clerk: "Uh, it's not Halloween... why do you, like, need THAT color?"

I used to be able to depend on CVS for black nail polish because Revlon had a street line (actually they had this blood brown color I was partial too), but I think they've discontinued it. Sigh. The golden days of rebeldom. Or something.

Try the drugstores and look for Wet & Wild or NYC brands. Wet & Wild was very reliable through my black nail polish wearing days. If nothing else, pick up a bottle of the dark blue. It remains my favorite to this day.

I got 450 Yu Gi Oh cards I'll sell you for a dollar.

Please.

Ya want some Pokemon cards instead? They used to be all the rage.
I know there are hundreds under foot at my house... :)

I'll throw in the Japanese cards that my demon spent all of his allowance on and now regrets it.

For free.

A shame you didn't say this a year ago; I tossed out about 10,000 Magic cards, dating back to The Dark. I'd have just shipped 'em to you.

I couldn't be bothered trying to sort them to sale as singles on ebay.

Fun game, but a money-sink.
