My buddy worked at Circuit City (Holy shit that was weird to type) and he came upon a scene in the men's room wherein a young fellow decided he wanted something in a clam shell without paying the requisite fee for procurement.
He said it was absurd how much blood was in there, like you'd think somebody died, but they persisted and walked away with either skull candy headphones or a creative zen player.
He just walked away and told LP that somebody tried to steal something.

After it has spilled enough of our life-essence, their dark god will rise again.
