A Little Less Chaos Please

This post is long overdue.

Last Christmas break, I decided to make the world a little less chaotic.  Inspired by this organizationally-inclined Walmart shopper, I decided to embark on a similar project in a Walmart with a group of friends.
A group of five of us had some time to kill when we happened upon a poor disorganized $5 movie bin.

We decided that the poor thing needed some tender, loving care, so we set to work.
We procured the proper equipment (notecards, a shopping cart, and silly hats, of course) and embarked on our epic organizational task.  For two hours, we dug out hundreds of movies, and sorted and alphabetized them into numerous sections of self imposed categories.


Some categories were intuitive, others arbitrary, others completely opinion based, and others still categories that movies have always needed to be placed in, but never are.  All were designed for maximum entertainment and aid in selecting the type of movie the shopper might be looking for.

After two hours with five people sorting and some pretty weird looks, we were done!

Saving the world, one act of random extraneous organization at a time!
