Circuit City Closes Its Doors For Good

bsharma is amongst the hordes of people wanting us to share the news that long beleaguered retailer Circuit City has finally decided to close for good, asking for court approval to close the remaining 567 US stores. "Whalin said management mistakes over the past few years combined with the recession brought down Circuit City. 'This company made massive mistakes,' he said, citing a decision to get rid of sales people and other mismanagement. What's more, given the credit market freeze, Whalin added that no manufacturer wants to sell to any retailer who doesn't have money to pay for the merchandise. At the same time, Whalin said there's still a very slim chance that one or more firms that have expressed an interest in buying Circuit City could still buy it out of bankruptcy over the next few days."

    So the guy figured out where the feed to all the tvs in that section was and hooked the DVD player up to it, so my aunt was able to look at her photos on a dozen different HDTVs all at the same time.

    Oh, and I forgot to mention, my aunt's name is Goatse. After issuing a formal apology to all customers, the store was forced to close due to community outrage. Where will she shop now?

    "CmdrTaco" is a white male with a stocky build and a goatee. He responded to my ad to be interviewed for this article wearing only leather pants, leather boots and a leather vest. I could see that both of his nipples were pierced with large-gauge silver rings.

    Questioner: I hope you won't be offended if I ask you to prove to me that you're a nullo. Just so that my readers will know that this isn't a fake.

    CmdrTaco: Sure, no problem. (stands and unbuckles pants and drops them to his ankles, revealing a smooth, shaven crotch with only a thin scar to show where his genitals once were).

    Q: Thank you. That's a remarkable sight.

    (laughs and pulls pants back up). Most people think so.

    Q: What made you decide to become a nullo?

    (pauses). Well, it really wasn't entirely my decision.

    Q: Excuse me?

    The idea wasn't mine. It was my lover's idea.

    Q: Please explain what you mean.

    Okay, it's a long story. You have to understand my relationship with Hemos before you'll know what happened.

    Q: We have plenty of time. Please go on.

    Both of us were into the leather lifestyle when we met through a personal ad. Hemos's ad was very specific: he was looking for someone to completely dominate and modify to his pleasure. In other word, a slave.

    The ad intrigued me. I had been in a number of B&D scenes and also some S&M, but I found them unsatisfying because they were all temporary. After the fun was over, everybody went on with life as usual.

    I was looking for a complete life change. I wanted to meet someone who would be part of my life forever. Someone who would control me and change me at his whim.

    Q: In other words, you're a true masochist.

    Oh yes, no doubt about that. I've always been totally passive in my sexual relationships.

    Anyway, we met and there was instant chemistry. Hemos is about my age and is a complete loser. Our personalities meshed totally. He's very dominant.

    I went back to his place after drinks and had the best sex of my life. That's when I knew I was going to be with Hemos for a long, long time.

    Q: What sort of things did you two do?

    It was very heavy right away. He restrained me and whipped me for quite awhile. He put clamps on my nipples and a ball gag in my mouth. And he hung a ball bag on my sack with some very heavy weights. That bag really bounced around when Hemos fucked me from behind.

    Q: Ouch.

    (laughs) Yeah, no kidding. At first I didn't think I could take the pain, but Hemos worked me through it and after awhile I was flying. I was sorry when it was over.

    Hemos enjoyed it as much as I did. Afterwards he talked about what kind of a commitment I'd have to make if I wanted to stay with him.

    Q: What did he say exactly?

    Well, besides agreeing to be his slave in every way, I'd have to be ready to be modified. To have my body modified.

    Q: Did he explain what he meant by that?

    Not specifically, but I got the general idea. I guessed that something like castration might be part of it.

    Q: How did that make you feel?

    (laughs) I think it would make any guy a little hesitant.

    Q: But it didn't stop you from agreeing to Hemos's terms?

    No it didn't. I was totally hooked on this man. I knew that I was willing to pay any price to be with him.

    Anyway, a few days later I moved in with Hemos. He gave me the rules right away: I'd have to be naked at all times while we were indoors, except for a leather dog collar that I could never take off. I had to keep my balls shaved. And I had to wear a butt plug except when I needed to take a shit or when we were having sex.

    I had to sleep on the floor next to his bed. I ate all my food on the floor, too.

    The next day he took me to a piercing parlor where he had my nipples done, and a Prince Albert put into the head of my cock.

    Q: Heavy stuff.

    Yeah, and it got heavier. He used me as a toilet, pissing in my mouth. I had to lick his asshole clean after he took a shit, too. It wa

    Sure it's fun to go in there and drool at the TVs, but I'm sticking to Newegg from now on.

    I browse with noscript and you can't actually check out of newegg without allowing every fucking site on the planet to dump its javascript into your browser. When newegg unfucks their website so that I can use it without javascript (not hard) then I will consider shopping there again.

    geeks.com prices have gone up quite a bit over time, and newegg is annoying to me, so now I mostly just buy things from ecost and ebay.

    I guess I have to be the asshole who asks ...

    How much time in Denny's do you spend that you are getting enough data points to formulate an economic theory based on their wait staff's intelligence?

    If it's a lot of time, then based on the soundness of your dining choices, I have to question your ability to assess wait staff intelligence, as your own would seem to be in doubt.

    If it's seldom, then I have to question your intelligence as measured by your understanding of sampling theory, as your own would seem to be in doubt.

    Word to the wise: keep the Dennynomics to yourself, homey (hammy?)
