Basketball Jones...
The problem I have with CVS (and Walgreens) is the limits they place on the numbers of items I can buy. I have one store that cooperates completely with me and I merely have to order stuff and they hold it for me in the backroom. For example, from this store I ordered 200 bottles of "stuff" early last week. On Saturday, 120 bottles arrived and I picked them up. Yesterday the remaining 80 bottles arrived and I also picked them up. Total retail (on sale) value was $600 plus tax. Me? I got them all for less than $8 including tax.
Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones
Got a Basketball Jones, oh baby, oo-oo-ooo
Yes, I am the victim of a Basketball Jones
Ever since I was a little baby, I always be dribblin’
In fac’, I was de baddest dribbler in the whole neighborhood
Then one day, my mama bought me a basketball
And I loved that basketball
I took that basketball with me everywhere I went
That basketball was like a basketball to me
I even put that basketball underneath my pillow
Maybe that’s why I can’t sleep at night
I need help, ladies and gentlemens
I need someone to stand beside me
I need, I need someone to set a pick for me at the free-throw line of life
Someone I can pass to
Someone to hit the open man on the give-and-go
And not end up in the popcorn machine
So cheerleaders, help me out
{cheerleaders sing repeatedly...}
(Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones)
(I got a Basketball Jones, oh baby, oo-oo-ooo)
{while Tyrone Shoelaces sings/speaks...}
Oh, that sounds so sweet
Sing it out
C’mon Coach Booty, Red Blazer, sing along with me
That be bad, honky
Yeah
I want everybody in the whole stadium to stand up and sing with us
Oh yeah, sing it out like you’re proud
All right, everybody watchin’ coast-to-coast, sing along with us
Bill Russell, sing along with us
Chick Hearn, sing along with us
Chris Schenkel, don’t sing nothin’
Oh, it feels so good
Gimme the ball
I’ll go one-on-one against the world, left-handed
I could stuff it from center court with my toes
I could jump on top of the backboard, take off a quarter, leave fifteen cents change I
could, I could dribble behind my back I got more moves than Ex-Lax I’m bad I could
dribble with my tongue Here I go down court, try to stop me You can’t stop me ‘cause I
got a Basketball Jones Here I come That’s my hook shot with my eyebrow Yeah, I could
dunk it with my nose I’m, I’m bad as King Kong, gimme the ball I’m hot, I’m hot as...,
I’m hot as..., I’m hot as... uh Uh, uh, uh, uh
(Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones)
(Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones)
(Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones)
(Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones)
I'll confine it to occasional tips here on the DUFUs just as incentive for you to read it. I already gave you that Gatorade tip.
“Kohls Cash” and tax free 1/2 off sale priced clothing items go very well together.
That's where he got his B.S. degree.
Obama: "You're right. Now is the time to be PLAYING basketball!"
First of all, as a born-and-raised Chicagoan, I must object to referring to Chicago as BO's "hometown." He ran a scam operation there for a few years, that's it.
Secondly, as a Bulls' fan going back 40 years (a former season-ticket holder, even), I do not want this guy putting the Curse of the Obamabino on them.

Stanley Cup, here we come! GO HAWKS!
I guess they don’t play much hockey in Indonesia and Hawaii.
Around here, PJ, all of the stores pose limits. (Central Indiana).
Because I am only shopping for myself (husband is working overseas), I am content with what I can get for free or nearly so.
A lot of what I eat is non-coupon, fresh fruits, veggies, meats, so I mostly concentrate on toiletries and cleaning supplies.
I am fascinated with your stories, however, and am always glad to see a true success in couponing!
Some stores treat it like a crime scene when you get lots of stuff cheap/free via coupons. Other stores actively encourage couponing. One store I simply place an order for hundreds of items and they hold them for me until I show up. They are smart since coupons are the same as money. If I owned a food store I would actively encourage couponing. I gave that store this past week $600 worth of sales via coupons.
All covered by coupons if you know how to work it. The last time I checked there are no coupons for buying computers yet this very laptop I am posting with I got for FREE via coupons.
The DUmmie that pointed out that he said something about as offensive to NE Ohioans as praising fart modell might deserve a Kewpie doll. I’ve gotten some strong BHObashing mileage with this one.
Around here we are hoping Himself pays about as much attention to BHO as the Olympic committee did.
