According to WSBTV, some people can’t get enough of Wal-Mart’s retail experience.

At the 24-hour Wal-Mart in Lilburn, GA police said a 70-year-old woman spent three days inside the store sleeping, shopping and eating at the on-site Blimpie.

The woman was able to blend in with the carts, crowds and chaos and go unnoticed for 72 hours a week before Christmas. When asked by Wal-Mart employees why she was there for so long she simply said, ‘I’m shopping.’

The woman was escorted home by police after she paid for her merchandise.

HELLLLLOOOOOOOO EVERYBODY – Although I doubt any of my posts from here to eternity will incite as much ire as my “Can’t Wanda Sykes go away” post, I feel some perspective… or lists or “best of” are always a good way to sum up periods of time because as trite as they are, they sure do get people’s blood boiling.

This first one for me is this: what is the best TV spot this year? My choice is Tiger Beer, Reincarnation. And although there were some great ones I am obviously not choosing, this one cracked me the hell up.
