is even better :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. What'd you get? Food, wine, clothes, some new gadget?

I love Costco, and it's BLUE! :D

[AngryAmish]

I also did some grazing.

I love Costco.

[DBoon]

11. A pallet of poppyseed muffins?

That always seems to be the mystery item when my sife goes shopping at Costco

[AngryAmish]

13. Nothing I bought contains poppy seeds

I almost bought a beef tenderloin, tho

[Worst Username Ever]

12. I shall play 20 questions RE said mystery item.

Is it edible?

[AngryAmish]

14. No

[Worst Username Ever]

15. Larger than a bread box?

[AngryAmish]

16. At times

Boy, that was a good cryptic answer. It has the benefit of being true.

[Worst Username Ever]

17. Can you wear it?

[AngryAmish]

24. Maybe

It is not considered a clothing item.

[RevolutionaryActs]

30. Did you buy tires?

:shrug:

[AngryAmish]

35. I was going to, I swear to god

But on the way over I bought a car from a buddy, so I decided not to spring for new tires. I feel like a dork driving around on the donut, tho.

[Worst Username Ever]

31. Is it soft?

[AngryAmish]

36. Yes

[Worst Username Ever]

38. Is it made of natural fibers (i.e. wool v. plastic)?

[AngryAmish]

Another awesome cryptic answer.

[Worst Username Ever]

42. Is it brightly colored?

[AngryAmish]

44. On balance, no

[Worst Username Ever]

47. Does it belong on furniture?

[AngryAmish]

50. No

[Worst Username Ever]

52. Does it get used/stored indoors?

[AngryAmish]

55. May be used inside or out

Generally stored inside. (this counts as 2 questions).

[Worst Username Ever]

61. Do you hold it in your hand when you used it?

[AngryAmish]

64. What do you mean by "it"?

Isn't that kinda personal?

[Worst Username Ever]

68. lol

[AngryAmish]

74. Actually, no. One does not hold it in one's hand

edited for perhaps the worst exhibition of grammer in the history of DU

[Cadence]

76. Is it decorative?

[AngryAmish]

78. It looks nice but it is practical

[Cadence]

82. Which room of the house will you be keeping it in?

[AngryAmish]

84. My bedroom

[Cadence]

85. LOL. I saw that before you edited.

I thought you did it on purpose to be funny. Now it's really funny that you didn't. :D

[AngryAmish]

86. Don't mock me because I am sub-literate.

[Worst Username Ever]

Does it keep you warm?

[AngryAmish]

91. Yes

[Worst Username Ever]

A comforter?

[AngryAmish]

97. Nope

I was looking at sheet sets. Are $60 set of sheets really worth it?

[AlCzervik]

100. a heating pad?

[AngryAmish]

102. nope

[AlCzervik]

103. a duvet cover?

[AngryAmish]

114. perhaps next time

[Cadence]

95. That or really funny and you don't

know it. ;)

[Cadence]

98. A blanket?

[AngryAmish]

99. Nope

Submit to my crypticness, and I shall reveal

[Cadence]

104. Failure is not an option.

What color is it?

[AngryAmish]

106. Red and grey mostly

[RevolutionaryActs]

39. Car seat covers?

Why I think it has to do with a car, I don't know. :)

[AngryAmish]

43. No

What's up with the car stuff?

[RevolutionaryActs]

45. No idea!

I'm just nuts is all. :crazy:

[AngryAmish]

53. Ever see the game show blooper show?

There was a guy on "Family Fued" who answer three questions in a row with "turkey". I figure it is something like that.

[Cadence]

65. I saw that. That was friggin hilarious.

That's it isn't it? It's a turkey!!

[AngryAmish]

67. N.O.

[ET Awful]

18. Purdue Popcorn Chicken?

Yummm :). That's an item I always pick up at Costco.

[AngryAmish]

21. Nope.

I live by myself, so a lot of the food items are just too big for me.

[BiggJawn]

101. Uh, isn't that "Perdue" chicken?

I don't think Purdue is in the chicken biz. at least not retail, anyway....

Yes, it's still busted. Best engineering school in the Midwest, and they can't keep the lightning out of the carrillon controller...

[ET Awful]

108. Whatever, it starts with a P and ends with a due :) n/t

[hnsez]

19. HDTV

[AngryAmish]

23. I was looking, but too cheap to buy right now

[maveric]

22. Did you pick up one of their home-bake pizzas?

MMMMM!

[AngryAmish]

28. No

I live in Chicago. There are dozens of pizza places that I can order from and have outstanding pizza. I love Costco, but one can get better pizza near me.

[maveric]

66. The Pizza joints in San Diego suck, so I resort to Costco "homebakes".

[Cadence]

25. Is it a beach towel?

[AngryAmish]

29. No

I did buy 4 bath towels.

[DelawareValleyDem]

26. How many times better than Wal-Mart are they?

[AngryAmish]

32. Much better - a factor of three

However, I do buy golf balls at Wal-Mart. There are no Wal-Marts in Chicago proper, but I usually stop off when I run low.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

27. Their roast chickens are delicious-and only $4.99 for a cooked bird!

Their frozen quiches are great to have on hand when you have people over. They're yummy.

[hnsez]

33. is is a book or a dvd?

[AngryAmish]

37. No

I was going to buy "Barton Fink" but I usually don't buy DVDs.

I love Costco, but the book selection is not a strength.

[d_b]

34. did you get a 50lb bag of rice?

Costco rules :-o

[AngryAmish]

46. Did get the keg of soy sauce

Got a tapper?

[d_b]

70. Hell yea.

Kikoman?

[Cadence]

41. Shower curtain?

[AngryAmish]

48. Nope

I am covered on the shower curtain front.

[Cadence]

51. He- he.. Bath rug?

[AngryAmish]

I should get some new bath rugs

But today I did not buy any.

[AngryAmish]

62. Double Post

I said double post, dammit!

[MissMarple]

49. An umbrella?

And we're getting a Costco here, soon. :bounce:

[AngryAmish]

57. Do join

Especially if you have a family. In the past month I saved tons. Great place to buy electronics. Actually, if you run a business it has a payroll service which is the cheapest around.

[hnsez]

54. A Black Hoodie!

[AngryAmish]

59. too old!

[AlCzervik]

56. toilet paper?

[AngryAmish]

58. good guess

alas, I am currently long in toilet paper.

[AlCzervik]

63. Paper towels?

[AngryAmish]

79. Got it covered right now

[xmas74]

60. That's what I always buy.

[MissMarple]

69. A jacket with a plastic zipper?

:-)

[AngryAmish]

80. Nope

[Skittles]

71. you bought a woman's purse

you parade around with it at home - don't deny it

[AngryAmish]

83. I buy my purses at the finest boutiques

One that cater to folks with my...ummmm...interests.

[AlCzervik]

72. 400 count tampons?

[Cadence]

75. LOL. oh no. n/t

[AlCzervik]

77. thats what i always pick up, big ole industrial size box

of playtex----unscented.

[Cadence]

81. *Snarf* OMG I never say this

but that just might fall into the too much information category. Having said that I do believe unscented are probably healthier.

[MissMarple]

87. Is it some kind of furniture?

[AngryAmish]

88. It is not

[MissMarple]

92. Electronics or appliance?

[AngryAmish]

105. sorry

[AlCzervik]

111. a throw?

[AlCzervik]

89. Qtips? A toilet seat? A plunger?

[AngryAmish]

90. No, No and...

No

[AlCzervik]

93. is it bathroom related?

[AngryAmish]

107. nope

[BiggJawn]

94. Do they really sell Howard Dean action dolls?

And "Get our troops out of Iraq NOW!" bumper stickers?

I hear that they're the "Anti-Wally-World"...

[AngryAmish]

96. Not that I have seen

It is my understanding that they pay a living wage for their workers and encourage unionization.

[BiggJawn]

124. Yeah, I've heard. And there's not one within 70 miles of here.

So I get to support the Evil Empire of Bentonville....:-(

[MissMarple]

109. Floor covering?

[Blue Gardener]

110. Is it one of those big pillows? n/t

[immoderate]

112. Air mattress?

--IMM

[AlCzervik]

113. ok, i don't need a secret, and i have to leave soon...please

what the hell is it??????

[AngryAmish]

115. a sleeping bag

[AlCzervik]

117. Thank you, i can sleep tonight now!

[MissMarple]

118. Are you going camping? Having grandchildren vist?

:-)

[AngryAmish]

119. I camp a lot.

I own some land up north and like the outdoors generally.

[MissMarple]

121. Well, you certainly got a few of our creaky brain cells moving.

:D

[AngryAmish]

122. I post some complex thing and it sinks like a stone

But post something about Costco and add a hint of mystery and one has a giant thread.

[Frogtutor]

116. Did you eat any really tasty samples?

Or is it only Sam's that does that?

:9

[AngryAmish]

120. Never been to Sams

But at Costco one can really graze.
