It took me to my freshman year of college... [/quote] LOL... you goober! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yeah... When I heard "Wally World" all I could think of was National Lampoon's Vacation. I figured it was a weird store that Kansas doesn't have. Turns out it's a store we have every other block. I'm not sure if it is scary as much as it is too big and confusing. Trying to find one item without knowing the store well is a big pain, even when the employees tell you where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappo Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I just discovered what wally world is too... it isn't even a shortening of the name! Wally world is 4 syllables whereas Wal-Mart is only 2... Silly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
