Title:
The Stones and BD closeouts
Let’s start with the Rolling Stones:
“You can’t always get what you want,
but if you try sometimes,
you just might find you get what you need,
aaahhhh yeah ”
Then Jagger starts strutting about the stage in that very special way of his, and all the ladies instantly become pregnant. Now let’s examine the meaning of that Rock 'n' roll cliché, and then find some far reaching way to relate it to BD closeouts.
“You can’t always get what you want” – that’s a given. We would love to get closeout deals on everything; but that’s just not how it works. I asked for a unicorn named Osiris like four Christmases ago and it never happened. We asked REI nicely if they could just send all of their customers directly to us, and they said no, like we were asking for some huge favor. You get the point.
“But if you try sometimes,” – and we do try, trust me. We try really, really hard. I personally try so hard sometimes that I get a little backed up. Point is: effort is essential.
“You just might find you get what you need,” – and we do, and so do our customers, though some of our customers don’t know what they need until we tell them. And really, if we were to get every closeout buy that we ever wanted we would be so overwhelmed with joy and workload that our operation would collapse upon itself’. Also, getting what you want all the time could never be that satisfying; I mean just look at celebrities or trustifarians.
“Aaahhhh yeah ” – pretty self explanatory.
Anyway, all that said, here are some crazy closeout deals from Black Diamond:
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him...
