Another Example of How Ridiculous We Are

Remember when I wrote about so many of the ways that we are ridiculous? Well I have another perfect example:

I'm not sure how we got on this topic, but Jacob mentioned something about how I need to get a sugar daddy to buy us things and the conversation went something like this:

Jake: I'm sure you could find one in the city. You could go to...what's that place called? the co...com

Me: The commissary?? That's what they call the grocery stores on military bases.

Jake: Yeah! But no, I meant one of those places where you can get dried goods.

Me: Oh, like on Oregon Trail?!!

Jake: Yeah, what's that called?

Me: I don't know, I think it's just called the General Store.

Jake: No, I think it has another name.

Me: Yeah, maybe.

Jake: Let's call Miltay (aka Mallory, my sister)

Replayed conversation to Miltay

Miltay: Um, I think it's called the General Store

She then promised to do some research and report back if she found anything.

Does anyone have an idea?

Dry Goods Store....that's what it is called! Took me a while, but after the fog lifted, eight cups of coffee, and the entire bag of popcorn, I KNEW the answer.

I still can't find it, but then again I always killed enough buffalo to last me weeks on Oregon Trail.

WHYYY do I remember that?
