Some Kind of A Jerk Or Something

Costc-OH!

My poor Dave, always ending up on the blog. But how can I not share this photo of the amazement inspired by Costco? Even a sad vegetarian like Dave can't help but be amazed by the freezer aisle's hundreds of meat-laden choices.

We came home with a roasted chicken for me and Lewie, a half-dozen bottles of wine for Dave, lots of vegetables and a bit of fruit, a buttload of toilet paper, a pack of white t-shirts for Dave, a pair of cargo shorts for me and a book by Temple Grandin called Animals in Translation. Was that it? Oh, yeah, and chewy Nerds and roasted almonds for Dave. Was that it? Hmm. Yeah, I think so. Oh, no, wait. We also bought a huge jug of Tide. And that's it. Except for the 36 pack of diet Pepsi.

I feel like Steve Martin's character in The Jerk ("That's all I need....just this remote control and nothing else. And this lamp, and that's all I need.") whenever we go to CostCo:

That's all we need, just this two pound tub of sour cream....and that's all we need. Except for this bicycle tire pump and this three hundred foot extension cord... and that's all we need. And this gallon of Kirkland shampoo and that's all we need.

Load up the Hummer and head on down to your nearest Costco. That's all you need, a backyard wading pool filled with salsa and a five-pound bag of Tostitos tortilla chips and a half-gallon jug of margarita mix and a gallon of tequila....and that's all you need to have a great summer!

And that's all I need...except for this "All I Need" scene from The Jerk:

[Derrrr, there used to be a youtube video clip here from The Jerk, but those jerks at youtube prob'ly figured out that some copyrighted material had been posted illegally so they took it down. Ah, well.]
