They've dressed their shopping carts up like Mario Kart buggies and put up some decorations on the doors.

It is only a matter of time before a blue shell comes out.

My stepson when he was nine – “Dad, why do you keep drifting the shopping cart back and forth?”

RX-Reven’ – “To keep the wheels hot so I’ll be ready if a race breaks out”

I remember seeing a shopping cart race series somewhere. Basically the basket was moved to the bottom part of the frame, and the rules said you had to use two of the original cart wheels so the backs were put on spindles in the front and new wheels were put in the rear. The motor was a starter from something and a car battery sat in the basket with you.

I always wanted to build a couple before, but now it's almost a requirement.

Eh, I was just at Target. Out of the millions of carts, maybe five of them were in the Mariokart livery.

Hmm. With extensive foodstuffs available in most Targets, how does one not run through the aisles dropping banana peels behind them?

Do you think a Mario kart themed kart is felony level expensive? Asking for a friend.

What's felony level theft, a grand?

Seeing some on craigslist in the $100 range.

Was 250$ in MN, but that was years ago.

Also, in totally unrelated news, swmbo has banned me from target until the promotion is over.

Oh, Jesus. Yes, yes I did. That's what I get for attempting to post when flea dipping two very angry cats.

I don't know about you but mine will occasionally check GRM just to see if I'm talking trash about her. I might have just saved your life

You may well have. Suppose I owe you a booze should we cross paths again.

You'll need to log in to post.
