I Wish I Had A River I Could Skate Away On

I'm going laptop shopping tomorrow. I'm pretty stoked even though I know as soon as I pass through the automatic doors, the nerdy ears of the GeekSquad at FutureShop will prick up - "*sniff* Jeremy ... do you smell that?" (Jeremy sniffs the air) "Yeah dude ... smells like ... like ... inexperience ... vulnerability and ... is that ? Yeah man, I smell a sucker". They can spot me a mile away. However, I am not what they suspect - yes, I am vulnerable, inexperienced and bringing a friend who is distracted by shiny/sparkly/pink things - BUT, I am NOT "Daddy's-little-princess-walking-around-clueless-with-his-MasterCard-and-a-slight-air-of-undeserved-entitlement-and-superiority-wondering-aloud-if-they-have-any-Pink-Mac's-left-in-stock".

I may be clueless. I may be a sucker. But RICH I am not. You can't get blood from a stone, fellas. That's right, go on ahead and move on to Princess Peach while I search for something functioning under $900.

That's my strategy. I wonder how that's gonna work for me ...
