Good grief, it’s quiet around here…

well, I’m off to the store. I’ll pick up stuff to make some french bread sandwiches and maybe a good salad…

anybody want me to pick up anything else while I’m there?

\*a loaf of bread  
a stick of butter…

If you could get me a chainsaw, several rolls of duct tape, 50 ft of washing line, a set of good kitchen knives and a nice wipe clean apron, I’d be most grateful.

Oh, and if you happen to spot any old vans going cheap, one of those too.

by “this,” to which item are you referring? or do you mean all of them?

if mr. sofia came home with trojans, dvds and a monkey…i’d be a little suspicious as well.

Oh good…glad somebody’s going to the store. I’ve put it off all day. If you don’t mind could you please get:

A bag of frozen french fries. (Ore-Ida, preferably…just not the store brand.) Family size.

Some worcestershire sauce.

Pack of Marlboro Mediums.

We’re grilling out (as usual) and forgot a side dish and the only thing I’ll put on a burger or steak. Well, the cigs aren’t as important, but I’m nearly out. Thanks!! 😃

I could use some chicken thighs so I can make some curry out of the sauce [Shayna and Spiny Norman](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=261206) sent me.

Oh – And it’s probably out of your way --But could you swing my the Robinson factory and pick me up a new helicopter. I’d be ever so grateful! 🙂

I need some Preparation H, Blue Star ointment, and some anti-fungal cream. It’s not for me, though, really. It’s for a, uh, a friend. Or something. Yeah, it’s definitely not for me though.

And if you happen to come across one of those self enema kits, that would come in handy to.

Again, not for me.

Really.

I need some fresh Garlic, and if it’s not too much trouble a couple of disposable aluminum pans.

Well, shoot, I just _went_ to the store. Why didn’t you guys tell me you needed anything? Gas doesn’t grow on trees, if you hadn’t noticed.

Would you mind picking up some Ben & Jerry’s “Cherry Garica” please and if they don’t have that, then some “Chunky Monkey” will work just fine.

_hands over a 10_

Can you pick me up some bottles of Belgian ale. Just about any type, prefer blonde. And a lemon. And some kind of sweetened breakfast cereal.

There’s a twenty on the nightstand.
