Spoils of war...Author: jawapro

Tis the season of Toy sales. Good time to be me, bad time to be my wallet (or Turkeybrain for that matter).
Today it was Kmart's turn to be the field of battle.
Last night they had a whole stack of Nerf Longshots - as witnessed by Tim who did a recon trip.
The sale started this morning, and I was there before 9:30 in the morning (on my way to work) and there was a single lone Longshot there. This was sad, as Tim had sent me with instructions to get one for him, and a second so he and Jim could give it to me as a late birthday present (thanks guys!)
So guarding the last longshot with my life, I went on the hunt.
I spied one in a trolley that looked abandoned, but the owner returned before I could escape with it. I saw another one walking around, but the owner was guarding it too.
But just as I was going to give up and buy the single gun, I walked back past the Nerf shelf. A women was just reurning a couple of guns that she was laybuying for her kids and discovered they didn’t need actual stock to laybuy. So there was another longshot on the shelf!
There was a mad scramble, fists were flying, people were cursing, but at last I stood victorious, with two Longshots.
Of course, the above is an over-dramatisation - but there were other people who had their eye on it too - but I beat them to it.
So two Longshots and a pack of ammo. Tis the spoils of war!
