Poon Job's Palace

I finally cracked and bought myself a camcorder, which I really had no need for. So I bought a Sony DRC-HC85 Mini DV. It only took me 2 days and trips to 5 stores to find one that had a good deal on it.

Initially I went to San Jose to Fry's Electronics just so I could check em out and I started talking to a sales clerk who looked like some bizarro hobbit. I pretty much had my mind made up on the HC65 and then he told me I could get an open box HC85 for the same price. So I decide to buy it. As he rings it up at the register I discover that he lied to me about the price.
Turns out it was 200 dollars more. Normally I wouldn't mind as much, but these salesmen work on commission which likens them to used car salesmen. So I tell him no deal and decide to go check out the iPod accessories at the other end of the store. As I was browsing the little hobbit came running up to me saying he was sorry he was mistaken about the price and that he had accidentally rang up the wrong model. He tells me his manager will even throw in a free bag and a couple mini DV's if I buy it.
So, once again I make the trek across the large store to the camcorder section. This time when Bilbo rings the purchase up its only 25 dollars cheaper then the original total. At this point, the hulk within me was starting to get pissed so I told Bilbo to take the camera and all the accesories and shove it up his ass. Then I stormed away in dramatic fashion.
As I walk out I notice that Miss February 1999 Stacy Fuson had set up an autograph table for the premiere of the new Playboy video game. I started wondering if these ingrates in line still lived with their parents and jerked-off to the naked video game characters.
So anyways I head to a bunch of other stores and decide that I'm not going to get the camera, until I hit Best Buy.
I had a self imposed embargo with this store as I found most of the shit they sell a lot cheaper at any other store. Until, I saw the HC85 camera...which was selling for $775. So after a few minutes of haggling I get the guy to throw in the camera bag. Then I went to Costco and bought the miniDV tapes for half the price of any of the other stores.

Moral of the story: Don't trust a hobbit cause they get hair on their feet by jerking off to video game porn.
