All I know is that Cost Plus gives me Coffee Crisps, single-serving packages of Nutella, and cheap decent wine, so Target's going to have to work it to break my loyalty.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Target has a very antiseptic feel for me. So even if the stuff is good, I don't think I'd like being there in the same cozy way I can get from Cost Plus.
Hey! It rained here!

Trust my rage
I prefer a cleaned-up Colin Farrell, but really I'd take him in any condition.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Global Market is basically Target trying to horn in on Cost Plus and Pier 1.
TRHANK YOU! That's what it looked like from the commercials. And those stores have that stuff all the time!
Colin looks skeezy and/or skanky. Do NOT want that anywhere near my lady parts.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's 34 degrees here. SO ANNOYING. It just makes for slush and puddles and mud and gross. Yuck.
I have a mouse. I don't know the exact definition of "mouse" in this context, since I'd have called it a slight black eye. Living and learning.
I had a mouse once! It was a puffy area under my eye, not an all-around black eye. But I got mine babysitting.

Bush sounds so annoyed in his press conference.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
THANK YOU! That's what it looked like from the commercials. And those stores have that stuff all the time!
Which ties into my horror at being in the downtown store when the Bazaar was first revealed. I was shopping all unawares when a horde of Marketing Managers from HQ descended on the section next to me, and I heard exclamations of "It's so cuuuuuuuute!" and "Everything's so unique!" I turned the corner to see what was causing such a commotion, and was confronted with stacks of chairs that are directly copied from chairs Pier 1 has carried for decades, piles of cheaply-embroidered pillows, and the sight of overly-tanned, Midwestern-fashionable managers cooing over plaster Buddhas.
I had to flee.
Which is not to say there's not good stuff there. Just that being in the middle of a stampede of Minnesota shoppers is never a good place to be, especially for a misanthrope that used to manage a Pier 1.

Oh, what's he got to be annoyed about?
Or is he just annoyed to be giving a press conference?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, what's he got to be annoyed about?
Reality.

Oh, what's he got to be annoyed about?
Well, now that Condi's going to be Secretary of State, her offices won't be nearly as conveniently located....
