the first great Incident of 2006

OK so it's not exactly a GREAT incident but it's kind of funny. So Rob picks me up from work and we go to stupid stop and shop to pick up a few items. $100 later, we are on our way home and while I put away groceries, Rob flips on the TV to find a white light in the center, full sound, and a black screen with a small blue light on the side. Yep, blown TV tube. Fucking fantastic. And I have rent to pay and no leftover money for such expenses. So off we go to Target, on Rob's urging, and Rob proceeds to buy me aTV, as, in his words, "I owe you so much money and we're in this together" (Everybody now... AAAwwwwww!) So we get a clueless wench who spends like 20 minutes helping two guys pick out a playstation game and then tells us the top row of TV's are for display only and not for sale. Magnificent. So we pick out a lower priced model and she says "OK you're all set" and goes to walk away. Now, I must confess there was a temptation to just push that cart away and keep walking.... but both of us thought of Karma and Rob said "Excuse me, but dont' you want my credit card?" I know, I know STUPID! But hey - we both believe it comes back to you tenfold - and that goes for both good and bad deeds. So he pays and off we go, in the rain, and lug this huge ass TV in it's box that could hold a small country back to my apartment. As I am leaning in to try and reach the bottom of the TV, I move it and give myself a nurple. (For those of you who may not be familiar with this term, a purple nurple is when you get, or give, a painful pinch to the nipular area. I use it as a threat to Rob all the time. ) At any rate, I caused myself to have a nurple. The Great First Nurple Incident of 2006. Ow. The TV is up and running, in case you were curious. :)
