    Costco's great, but really--you shouldn't be buying a telescope at Costco. The amateur astronomer in me just had to say...

      I live in a densely populated area. Telescopes are great for looking in bedroom windows.

          Ahhh...well, the amateur voyeur in me says "two thumbs up on costco telescopes!".

              Wait until you are riding <redacted> on Cassandra. You'll be yelling then. I will give you the helmet, though.

                    If you had some sort of sidecar, I would actually be completely willing to entertain this idea.

                    It could be our version of Easy Rider. Except at the end we don't have to be horribly maimed by passing rednecks. Also, we would stop in Houston because we both have to go back to work on Monday.

                      I haven't seen the netbooks that Costco is selling, but Dell has some decent deals right now.

                      I just upgraded my Qwest internet to a higher speed, and they're selling me the $299 Dell model for $199. It should be a fun little gadget to have around.

                        Inspired by this very thread (and one other), I told Mrs. PAC we were going to Costco for FHE. We just returned, having bought a few things, but we passed on the telescopes despite the strong temptation to stick it to DDD. On the way home, we stopped by Trader Joe's and picked up some steel-cut oats. I'll be whipping up a batch in a few minutes that will take me through the end of the week. One of our finest FHE's in several months, and I owe it all to CUF.

                          We're hosting a tailgate at the SDSU game for 76 people. Sounds like a good excuse to me to get one of these!

                            I loved Modern Family this week and the gay couple shopping in Costco. It cracked me up.

                              That was hilarious.
