Operation Sleigh Drop

Setting: North Pole
Time: night on Dec. 23

Head Elf speaks:

(shrill whistle - TWEEEEEEETT!) Alright, elves! Listen up! The Big Guy's got a Big Night tomorrow so he's not taking any chances.

Keebler, you there, how goes the gifts at the Kane household?

Keebler: All presents present, uh, and accounted for, Sir!

Head Elf: Good. How about accessories?

Keebler: Sir, yes Sir! Well, you see sir, we might have forgotten about two tiiiiiny little items.

Head Elf: And what would that be, newbie?

Keebler: A 100 watt light bulb and 4 AA batteries.

Head Elf: Batteries? Don't we HAVE batteries?

Keebler: Well, we thought we did. But apparently we don't.

Head Elf: Well, then, Keebler, this means only one thing....You must head to Stuff*Mart tomorrow and BUY them!

Keebler: No! No! Anything but that! Not Stuff*Mart on the busiest shopping day of the year!!!!

Head Elf: Tomorrow's not the busiest shopping day of the year! That's Black Friday. Boy, you do have a lot to learn about the toy business.

Keebler: I don't know sir......I've seen some of those last minute shoppers. And with the recession and current econocmic crisis, they will ALL be headed to Stuff*Mart!

Head Elf: And so will you......

We just bought a big pack of AAs, so if you think you can make it to Conway and back in less time than it takes you to get in and out of StuffMart, you're welcome to a few!

I stopped by Harp's, the grocery store, today. Paid a little bit more but it was worth it!
