I got scammed.
No big deal. It's not as bad as it sounds.
Yesterday, Jacquie and I were running around doing some shopping when we decided to stop in at Worlds Collide in Oshawa. Now, believe it or not, this wasn't really my idea. She suggested it, but she tried to make it sounds like my idea. Don't believe it. She went in there with high hopes of finding either Ingenious or Thurn & Taxis on the shelf. She found the former, but not the latter.
I picked up my comics and the next volume of Cerebus (I only have a couple more volumes to buy now), and then we hit up the board games section. She found Ingenious, picked it up and started walking around with it. I spotted a copy of Arkham Horror for a measly $33 (I later found out it was marked down about $20 because the box was dinged) and mentioned to Jacquie I was tempted to pick it up at that price (like I really need anymore board games in my collection, but come on, it's Lovecraftian!).
Eventually she asked if I'd like Arkham Horror for my birthday, and I told her that yes, that would be a good idea. So she grabbed it. After hanging out the counter talking with Ross for quite some time, eventually it came time to exchange some cash for the goods. That's when I got scammed.
"Well, I'll buy this for you for your birthday and you can buy this for me for Valentine's Day," Jacquie said as she slid the copy of Ingenious along the counter towards me. Ross burst out laughing.
Long story made short: We now have two new games in our ever-growing board game collection.
