Shopping for Xmas I saw duck dynasty stuff at Kohl's

The duck dynasty stuff was not picked over like the other stuff. Matter of fact it didn't appear to be a big seller. They were discounting it. Mind you this was Colma, CA. Right next to San Francisco but I would never spend a dime mainly because of the "blacks were better off before the civil rights act" comment.

I like some reality tv but could not get into the Duck Dynasty even after 10 minutes.

They really are in huge trouble then.

I expect they'll be back living in the Louisiana swamps soon.

That show was probably on its way out prior to this happening.

I mean really, how much staying power was a show about people who make duck calls really gonna have?

Collectors editions?

Do they have little tee-vees inside?

Did you check to see if they are all the same book with different covers?

Could you go check? I'll wait...

I have nothing in common with duck dynasty. Why would I want to buy useless crap?

17. In accounting speak, we call that "low inventory turnover".

If that shit is piling the shelves to the point where it's devaluing the rest of the inventory, they'll get that shit off the shelves before you can say "quack".
