How Lowe’s Can Ya Go?
7:30pm, Monday-
the studio: Floors are looking great so far, right?
Studio: Definitely. You agree, Burger?
(Burger stands in silent agreement)
the studio: Do you think it’s weird that there’s no baseboard here against the brick?
Studio: No, it’s fine.
the studio: Yeah, you’re right. It’s fine.
11:00pm, Monday-
the studio: I’ve been thinking, it is weird that there’s no baseboard there.
Studio: What? No, it looks fi-
the studio: TOTALLY weird.
Studio: Okay. So what do you want to do?
the studio: Get a baseboard and have the floor guys install it.
Studio: But the floor guys’ last day is tomorrow and we can’t buy any baseboards tonight because Lowe’s closed an hour ago.
the studio: Can you get it tomorrow morning before work?
Studio: Do you think they even make that kind of baseboard anymore?
the studio: You’re right. I should come with you. But we’ll have to be back before the guys show up at 7:30.
(Here come the famous last words.)
Studio: Well, Lowe’s does open at 6am…
And that’s how we found ourselves in the wood cutting department at 6:21 this morning.
