Agreed. This is just a troll. Don't feed 'em, just delete 'em.

Dear Spray, I have been a GI for over a year. But I don't believe in spreading pandamonia (sp?) when it is false. I happen to be availed of some small bit of knowledge in this area, I have to make known, my small part of knowledge in this small area, to those who have no knowledge of this area, but are experts in another.

I have personally witnessed two trailers with no Walmarts. Go Ahead Flame Away. Ooops just saw another one,

MAKE THAT THREE. I guess that proves that big time wrestling is fixed. (my apologies to KOS)

1) I would certainly HOPE there are trailers at Walmarts, given what they NEED to do in order to do their annual numbers.....

2) Not only that, if they are going to handle the "rush" later in the year (or whenever) they will need them.

What does that prove, Thunder Thighs? *MY* Walmart has a ton of those trailers. Never had them before either.

(Am I now supposed to say *nanny nanny boo boo?*?)

Concerning the trailers...most are for extra Christmas stock and for the hugh amounts of layaways. Notice the trailers don't show up until almost Ho-Ho time...

Just in case you care, it's "pandemonium", meaning "all demons", and was the name given to the capital of Hell in Milton's Paradise Lost

Was at Wal-Mart today in N. Ohio. Some of the employees were getting christmas stock (plastic trees) out of two them as I walked by. Nothing suspicious. I used to work in retail, renting trailers or shipping comtainers to handle increased inventory is COMMON. In fact, the office I work at just rented a semi trailer for storage of old non-compliant computers and furniture until spring when it'll be sold off. That trailer has never been there before either... Regards Powder

Grip this buckwheat! I have seen the trailers all over the damn place lately. Gotta say it's the first holiday season I've ever seen em. Don't think it's a coincedence at all. It's Y2K the marketing opportunity.

-- Gordon (g_gecko_69@hotmail.com), November 21, 1999.

Anyone got pictures? Anyone asked at their local store? Anyone tried contacting WalMart corporate? I ask because one of Wal-Mart's biggest strengths is it's ability to run on the ragged JIT edge. This is completely out of character.

I am mailing them just now and will post their responses.
