calbert: in the spirit of truthiness

"The boy would hide in the store before it closed and would leave in the morning at its opening"

so he was only spending the nights there

That is not the spirit of truthiness.

jbuist: I usually refer to the store as Bed, Bath, To Infinity and Beyond, when talking with my wife.

I go with the more obvious, "Bloodbath and Beyond".

Bed, Bath and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls?

Paging John Hughes!

/Oh yeah
//:o[

bed, bath and bea arthur.

Bed, Bath, and Beyond my Budget?

//Kid was pretty resourceful though.

At least he was hiding out in a Victoria's Secrets store, then there'd be more serious questions to ask.

I remember thinking of running away as an 11-12 year old, going to a friend's house after school, sleeping on his couch, then waking up around 11PM and calling my mom to pick me up, apologizing profusely. Turns out my buddy's mom had already called my house earlier in the afternoon and asked my mom if spending the night was OK, and my mom apparently had no idea I was "running away."

/Somehow relevant, funny old memory
//preemptive cool story bro

But where would you sleep? Oh, never mind. But what about sleeping? Uops. Forget it.

One of my kids calls it Bed, Bath, and Beyond Ghey.

So how would you pull this off? Every retail store I ever worked at had motion detectors. I guess he slept under a bed?

John Collier's "Evening Primrose" comes to mind.

Oh yeah, and zombies.

Sounds like your kid will be pumping my kid's gas.

Thank God she hasn't left me.

Please tell her to quit calling me after midnight.

Did he suddenly wake up and realize that he was wasting his life chasing a corporate dream and spend more time with Kate Beckinsale and their children?

clay davis available for comment.

I wonder how he evaded the motion sensors which I assume they had. Odd. I would assume that they had none, but that would be nonsensical and stupid.

Nice try kid, nice try.

Wut?

Nonsensical and stupid is the manager who probably told the alarm company not to worry about the motion sensor going off. "It's been going off for four days. I think there's a rat in the building."

Of what is this myth you speak? Full service filling stations? Do they still exist? Oh where is this Xanadu?

New Jersey, actually.

New Jersey. Where you're not allowed to pump your own gas.

Even when you're high as a kite and forget what state you're in.

Which is why we don't allow you to pump your own gas...

i go for the term Dead bodies & Beyond.

I for one have always wanted to sleep in one of those teeny little sample beds. However, don't make the mistake of jumping on one when no one is looking - they usually put pins in the sheets to keep them looking neat after idiots like me jump on them - yeeowch.

What? No Walken?

What a non-runaway may look like after spending four days in Bed, Bath, and to Infinity and Beyond.

@Bathia_Mapes

Came here to say that too.
