Okay... after much debating, I've decided to risk my own personal safety and admit to something which will probably result in most, if not all, of you to hate me until "Big Tuesday"...
But, well, I can't help it, you'll all end up finding out anyway, if not from me, then from Gelf or MJ (who has already told me that, yes, she hates me! :b )
Yesterday, I wandered around at Best Buy just to look around, like I often do, to see if any new DVDs came out or whatever. On the shelf, I noticed about 3 copies of the first season of The A-Team, which I thought was kind of odd, considering that it's supposed to come out next week, on the same day as QL. I thought to myself, "No... it couldn't possibly be out a week early, could it? That would just be insane! Every single person on this board would want to murder me!"
So, I walked down the other aisle, not really expecting to see anything out of the ordinary, when lo and behold, there it was... one copy left. Good thing the store wasn't that crowded, because people would've started looking at me funny, pointing and saying, "Who's that guy with the evil stare in his eyes laughing hysterically?!"
Needless to say, I snatched it off the shelf and didn't let go. Cradling it underneath my arm, I asked one of the employees if there were any other copies left, and he said, "Unfortunately no, probably not until next week. I know, it was a damn good show!" So, before you all line up to hang me, I DID think of all you guys when I asked the question! After that, I got on line, payed my $40 plus for it and went home to watch some of the bonus features.
Now, I debated and debated, and then debated AGAIN whether or not to share this "Big Tuesday one week early" story with all of you. For those of you who know me, you know I would never intentionally throw it in your faces. I mean... I'll admit, the thought did cross my mind to engage in a little friendly "ribbing" with all of you, but I realized that it might be misconstrued by newbies in particular as "gloating," which I would never want to be accused of doing. People who don't know me that well might read something like that and say, "Man, this 'Dman' guy's a real jerk!" and then, people who DO know me might respond by saying, "Oh yeah, that guy IS a jerk!" :b But, ultimately, I decided to share this news because... maybe if I found the QL DVD a week early, some of you might find a store that got it early too.
I feel kind of guilty that I got it before anyone else, but hey... I KNOW that all of you would have done the same thing that I did without even thinking twice! So there!!! :nut
With that said, I'm going into the living room and watching some more of my shiny new Quantum Leap DVD...
Until Next Time!
