i have a big box of AA batteries and a bunch of flashlights. Even brought in the one i usually have in the car. Should've sold them at 500% markup 

Won't help me with the lack of AC when we lose power though :(

The salesman Williams had one last possibility for Minutella. A head lamp like the ones workers wear in coal mines.

Minutella examined it a while, threw his hands up in the air and bought it, along with three packs of AAA batteries.

"Is this what I've been reduced to?" he asked in defeat. "A headlight and AAA batteries."

:blink:

That seems like quite a good option as opposed to a bulky flashlight.

Q to Americans - has LED technology now largely replaced incandescent bulbs in flashlights ?

From what I've seen in the marketplace, yeah.  Still lots of incandescent flashlights being produced, though.

I wonder if Michele Bachmann will introduce the relevant legislation?

Yeah of all the technological advances that are so clearly superior to what it's replace, I wouldn't put it past her.

I bought batteries because my radio went dead. :( I was afraid everyone would laugh at me for panic buying. :( :( :(
PDH!

I had to buy batteries. D batteries. Baby toys use a retarded amount of power. I hope no one thought I was panic buying.

Yet you post this here, so we can laugh at you for caring if strangers thought you were panic buying.  :lol: :hmm:

I remember when she was rambling on about the Government forcing people to eat their vegetables like some kind of petulant child.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
