So I stopped by Wal-Mart on the way home from work...

...and saw a couple of notable things.

I was told that one of my reverse lights was out while at work and as my car's lights working properly is something I'm pretty anal about I stopped by the Wal-Mart I pass going home from work to get some replacements.

Since I was back in the automotive section I decided to walk a couple of aisles over and see what kinda audio Wal-Mart is selling nowadays. I saw something that actually made me laugh out loud and draw some rather odd stares from passing shoppers. Wal-Mart has sold their crappy prefab sealed single sub enclosures for awhile now but tonight I noticed something I'd not seen in WallyWorld before. "Do It Yourself" prefab speaker enclosures. They had some for 6x9s, 10s, and 12s.

"Slide Tab A into Groove B, apply a couple of screws and you've got yourself a brand new, high-quality speaker enclosure that you can be proud of because you built it yourself!" or some such silly shit was boldly advertised on the outer packaging. You guys may already be well aware of this newest load of crap that Wal-Mart is trying to off to unsuspecting novices but it is the first time I have seen them and OMG whatta bunch of garbage.

Secondly, as I went up to the checkout to pay them the 2 bucks or whatever these #1156 bulbs cost me I saw hanging on those 'Spur Of The Moment Impulse Puchase' racks next to each register bags of Microwaveable Pork Rinds. Yanno, pork rinds...deep-fried pigskin. Well, now, for those too lazy to actually open a bag of the traditional kind prior to inhaling them now you can toss 'em in the microwave, they'll cook and the bag will open for ya! "Caution, though, remove from microwave immediately after the bag stops expanding. There will be no audible 'popping' sound to alert you such as that associated with microwave popcorn," stated a warning printed on the package. The whole concept of microwaveable pork rinds is pretty revolting to me.

So, rather than an average, boring trip to Wal-Mart after some pretty mundane items I was greeted instead with something Out Loud-laughable followed by an unsettling sense of nausea.

I bought a deck from Meijer once. It was a Dual, and it was mismarked at like thirty bucks.

Worked fine for maybe 8 months, used daily; Then the volume-up button got stuck inside, so it always would ^^^^^^^^^ randomly. Oh well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah prowler i noticed those at the walmart, it gave me a little chuckle in side, because first if you buy a prefab box thats what you want PREFAB, you dont want to have to put it together yourself. Yeah i think im gonna head up there today and buy a box for my W7.
