Friday Silliness The Shopping Game! (Invented by: me, Specklet) This is fun to play when you're out drinking with folks you don't know all that well, but I think it'd be fun here too. Here's the deal: you must come up with any four items that could be found at a store like, say, Fred Meyer. (This is a store that has a wide variety of groceries, but also has sporting goods, cosmetics, electronic equipment, clothing, etc. You get the idea.) The point is that the four items be innocuous in and of themselves, but in combination would completely freak out the checkout clerk, or at least make him/her wonder what in the hell you've got planned for the evening. This can get very amusing (read: peverted) quickly.
A tennis racket.
Eggs.
Sleeping pills.
And, an air horn.

Here's an actual list that got me a visit from Homeland Security:

1 ton (gross weight) sodium hydroxide
1 ton baking soda
200 pounds coconut oil
300 gallons olive oil

(To be fair, we actually bought the sodium hydroxide and baking soda in 50 pound bags for a co-op sale, with each participant getting a 50 pound bag...but my company name was the one on the order to the chemical company, and I'm the one that showed up with a truck and a trailer to cart it all away.) Thus, my visit from the nice people in sunglasses who were very curious about what I was doing with a ton of lye. ;) I had to give them soap to make them go away.

My apologies, but you did not invent this game, Specklet. On the other hand, I can no longer claim to have invented it, either, as I thought I did a couple of years ago when I bought two bottles of sesame body oil and a birthday card and got a "Somebody's gonna have a nice birthday!" from the cashier.

To make it even better, the card said "From All Of Us!" and I was buying it for a coworker.

Oh, and my list:
clothesline
fishooks
superglue
a dozen roses
