Informed Investments -- Wednesday; Third Period -- 08/13

When entering the Danger Shop today (because there was a handwavy notification) they'd probably note that Charlotte wasn't there.

Instead there was Dale Cooper. And instead of home baked goods there were doughnuts from J'GOB and coffee (LOTS o' Coffee)

"Good morning class," Dale said in greeting. "Ms. York is out of town this week and asked me to cover for her. While I may not be as experienced or knowledgeable as Miss York in this topic, I know one thing that is very important regarding shopping: endurance."

Dale flipped a switch and the Danger Shop provided the backdrop for a shopping mall.

"Today you will be given a list of tasks to complete in a limited amount of time. I suggest you fuel up on doughnuts and coffee. You'll need the energy."

[OCD is up!]

Or just gobble down the doughnuts.

Ned listened to the lecture while Kaylee the raccoon took a particular interest in the donut he'd gotten for them. For her now because he so was not eating the same donut as a raccoon, Kaylee or not.

"Here are your assignments:
1. Buy a sweater from the gap. Only one size will fit you and it's mislabeled. Possibly in a bad color too. And there's about thirty sweaters to check.
2. Find a pair of shoes that fit and go with the sweater. Unfortunately the shoe salesman is rather rude. He's possibly named Al. Don't get him talking about football.
3. Find something non-goth or smutty at Hot Topic to wear as a skirt or pants
4. Eat a meatball sub at the food court without spilling anything on your clothes
5. Avoid anyone trying to make you take a poll.
6. Buy something 'Zen' at Sharper Image.

You have one hour to complete your assignments. Those who complete this successfully will get a $20 gift certificate to the store of their choice. GO!"

[Please mod your own shopping experience. Feel free to team up or try to take out the other competition if you wish.

Ned took off to get the supplies with a raccoon attached to his shoulder. She kept chittering in his ear and he hoped it was encouragement and not her laughing at him.

He went through ten sweaters before finding a too short, pea green colored sweater that almost cut off his breathing when he put it on.

The shoe salesman was harder and wouldn't shut up about his wife and ingrate kids. It took Ned a long time to finally get a pair of shoes that matched and fit before he took off.

He didn't even know what a Hot Topic was but he ended up with a black beret with sequins on it. It was ugly. Now Kaylee was definitely laughing. And she kept laughing while he ate a meatball sub and used his hand as a napkin and a bib. Still, nothing on his clothes though, god, he wouldn't have cared if there had been.

Someone shoved a poll in his face and Ned shoved the raccoon back at them. That got them to leave him alone before he could go into Sharper Image. He had no idea what was Zen. He bought an electronic pen. It wasn't zen.

He finished in over an hour (damn shoes salesman) and missed the zen part. Oh well.

Usually, Summer liked to be lazy on her birthday. But she took shopping very seriously. She was awesome at it. That was why she was able to find the clothing items fairly quickly. Although she did get into an argument with the shoe salesman about which shoe brand was the best. She very nearly stabbed him with a stiletto.

Finding something that wasn't smutty or gothy at Hot Topic was what slowed her down that most. That was nearly impossible. She made sure not to spill any of the sub. This was mostly because she didn't want to spill anything on her designer clothing. That would have sucked.

When someone shoved a poll at her, she simply ignored it and kept on walking. That's how she often dealt with annoying people. At sharper image, she found an adorable pocket sized camera. She figured it was zen enough.

She finished in just under an hour.

He's always willing to chat.

Woo! First class I've taught in over a year!
