I need all the sympathy I c...@ Connie - Thank you. I need all the sympathy I can get. I am a sympathy hound.<br /><br />@ Fabuleslie - Linger - LOL! Your dad had it much worse off than I did.<br /><br />@ Joann - Trail mix eh? I'll have to give it a shot.<br /><br />@ Greeneyed - Target was actually okay to work at - besides the crappy pay.<br /><br />@ Ally - Target is fine. Just stay away from the break room. I'd love to see your article on Taylor - especially if you are blasting him.<br /><br />@ Emmy - Yes, it was truly awful. I look at the terror and agony around me and think, you don't even know.<br /><br />@ Pat - Yes, every time I think it is gone too, I go back into a Target.<br /><br />@ Noelle - Count yourself as one of the lucky ones that has never heard that song. And I like to think I am a cool first grade teacher, but that is just my self perception.<br /><br />@ Tammy - Okay, remember how you said that you were surprised that some people see the world differently than you? Well, look at these comments and you will see that EVERYONE sees the world different than you in some things.<br /><br />@ Rawkn - 12 step program. Perfect. I wonder if they have one at the YMCA? I'll have to look.<br /><br />@ Jarnebrand - I agree. I am one of the lucky ones. I'm sure there are a couple people still there suffering. I promised myself I would never go back to the island.<br /><br />@ ScoMan - At least you have the advantage on the overweight guy in his 60's.<br /><br />@ Powdered Toast - Do they play that awful "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" song? I hate that song.<br /><br />@ Teachinfourth - thanks. Fantastic indeed.<br /><br />@ Bossy - I am sorry to put those horrible images in your head.<br /><br />@ Venessa - No, no. Dressers are actually in the higher realm of the Target furniture. I think we own a target dresser actually.<br /><br />@ See Mom - Oh yes, how could I forget about your Target experiences? John Tesh would have been a welcome site after two months.<br /><br />@ Lindzena - I hope you found something and I apologize.<br /><br />@ C'est - Please don't hurt me.<br /><br />@ Obama - Toys R' Us played it too? Well, I guess they would have had to.<br /><br />@ Alex - a college essay on Barbie? Hope you did well on it.<br /><br />@ Jessica - I can only imagine.<br /><br />@ Copyboy - Not sure about KMart. I imagine it is something even worse.<br /><br />@ Jason - Ha ha! Fred Meyer. That is a store I haven't heard of in ages.<br /><br />@ Lisa - Well, they did invite me when I was about to quit to go to Cali and do some "Target Corporate TRaining" gig thing that I flatly refused. Retail was for sure not my thing.<br /><br />@ Tracie - you are welcome. Sorry I couldn't come through with the waterboarding as well.<br /><br />@ Tammy2 - That was my hope.<br /><br />@ Niki - Thanks! I may get to it today.<br /><br />@ Warm chocolate milk - Everyone loves Target it seems. Everyone but me.<br /><br />@ Dave - LOL! Was your roommate named Satan?<br /><br />@ Queenie - More sympathy. Thanks, I am soaking it in.<br /><br />@ Diane - I am going to do that to my son when he is 16 even if he hasn't done anything wrong. Maybe I will even wear my pink sweater vest!Cheeseboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358419997798632644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599909894024508521.post-39268592887180308522010-05-05T15:38:59.006-06:002010-05-05T15:38:59.006-06:00@ Kristina - Ew, Lady Antebellum must be the coole...@ Kristina - Ew, Lady Antebellum must be the coolest named band that sucks the most.<br /><br />@ VKT - I thought about teaching my first graders this song, but decided against it because of the message it sends. And because it sucks.<br /><br />@ Beth - I'm sure you've heard it. As soon as it hits your ears, you'd know it.<br /><br />@ Serene - It would take much more than 400. Maybe 1000! And I don't think we are having any more kids, so I am safe.<br /><br />@ Sammy - BRANDED! Thank you. And why is it that song is one that everyone remembers from the college days.<br /><br />@ Mimi - Walmart superstuds might be cooler than Target superstuds. And I would have killed for a little Foreigner.<br /><br />@ Alecia - Target is French? That explains so much.<br /><br />@ Lisa - It's one that can not be forgotten.<br /><br />@ Alex - Hope I'm not going to hell, but if I do, I'm sure they'll be there.<br /><br />@ Hope - thank you.<br /><br />@ Melinda - At least you have changed your "tune". <br /><br />@ Empress - I feel that I am a better man for it.<br /><br />@ Sue - THANK YOU! I appreciate the support.<br /><br />@ Brandi - Target and Barbie Girl will forever go together in my brain.<br /><br />@ Mama - I'm sure I don't want to know. Plus, I can't stand that racist website.<br /><br />@ Nubian - I think that that song might actually be about the constitution. I'll have to check the lyrics again.<br /><br />@ Grammy - this was a subliminal way for everyone to forever remember the Blog O' Cheese.<br /><br />@ Beth - Thank you. I will be blogging about it today.<br /><br />@ Janelle - Fortunately, my wife does most of the shopping as when I go, I buy a bunch of crap. This has saved me big time.<br /><br />@ VaLon - No, I had no idea about Michelle. I actually liked working there for the most part. I doubt you could sell that CD to anyone now.<br /><br />@ Traci - It was sung in Arabic? I can only imagine that it would be less annoying. Amazing how some songs just take you to an exact place and time in your life.Cheeseboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358419997798632644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599909894024508521.post-79009281041896502132010-05-05T13:09:40.070-06:002010-05-05T13:09:40.070-06:00Oh my gosh, I used to work at Target.

OH! That's a good thing.<br /><br />Oh, this post is so funny. I threaten my son that if he ever gives me grief I will pull up in front of the high school with Barbie blaring and yell out "Hey, sweetie-pie, mommy's here."
