The Great GameStop Barter and Rock Skim Con | 464
This week on Hysteria 51, we’re serving up two stories that prove society is being held together by duct tape and pure audacity.
First: GameStop’s “Trade Anything Day.” And they meant anything. Customers reportedly rolled in with a goose, a bobcat, and a Wii Netflix disc—which is basically the Rosetta Stone of “please don’t ask how long this has been in my trunk.” If you’ve ever wondered what retail looks like when chaos is the manager on duty, welcome home.
Then we head to the high-stakes world of competitive stone skimming, where a cheating scandal has allegedly rocked the World Stone Skimming Championships—because apparently even skipping rocks isn’t safe from scandal, suspicion, and somebody’s cousin “who definitely knows a guy.” It’s sports drama, but with wetter pants and more passive-aggressive shoreline energy.
Two stories. Zero dignity. Maximum weird. Hit play and let’s skim straight into the absurd.
