Shrimp and Grits

The children’s section of a used book store in Fayetteville stocks a series of beloved books.

Dr. Suess books. I wonder if I can find Geern Egsg nad Hma?

Further over on the shelf, you can find the cheap stuff.

What a barge-in!

(The really sad thing is that copies of this sign were all over the store.)

Here’s The Weather Channel with some helpful advice.

Beware of hurricanes and other kinds of storms

While I wait for tomorrow’s test to finish copying, I thought I’d share a sign posted on the bulletin board   Need an anatomy and physics book?

Used 210/211 anatomy and physicology with cat manuel. Very good condition. I only used it two weeks las semester.

A real bargain, since it includes a cat from Barcelona!

While shopping at the outlet parks over the holidays, I found a watch at the Van Heusen store.

A very accurate Van Heusen watch

I’m impressed.  The last watch I owned was accurate only to the nearest gallon.

There’s a new cult in town.

Dr. Furniture's Truth and Fellowship Ministry

Believe in the Power of the Almighty Futon, my friends, and YOU WILL BE HEALED!

Here’s a plastic step-stool that Cate uses.

Other than the obscenely cute artwork on the top, what’s wrong with this stool?  Take a closer look at the label.

“Far East Brokers and Cons“?  What a rip off!

Think you’ve seen high gas prices?  Have a look at this gas station!

While it’s true that this station was probably just having some sign trouble, how long will it be before those prices are accurate?

Posting’s been rather light here recently, and that’s because I have been busy with five week summer classes.  We cram a full semester’s worth of freshman chemistry into five weeks.

But if I wanted to pick up a little extra money this summer, I could apply for some extra work over in the business office.  Here’s a job posting I saw this morning:

If I work all summer, I might just be able to buy a burrito at Taco Bell!

While I was browsing through my pictures from Switzerland, I came across this oddly-named advertisement.

Who knew the Swiss were such fans of You Can’t Do That On Television?

Let me introduce you to Revolgar.

What is Revolgar? It’s a cheap plastic robot that looks as if it’d withstand about ten seconds of play time. But more than that, Revolgar is a warrior.

… a justicial warrior! What is a justicial warrior? I have no idea, except that Revolgar and his allies are extremely powerful

… and have (or perhaps, had) a thing against jewelry.

If all that doesn’t make you want to run out and buy your own Revolgar, I don’t know what will. But if you do get one, pay attention to the warnings. Playing with the most powerful super combined justicial warrior robot in history comes with some risks.

Watch out for those carefully small parts, which are much more dangerous than the carelessly small parts featured on inferior robots.

Also, consult your doctor before putting anything into your nares. If you’re not a doctor, just don’t shove Revolgar up your nose.

Revolgar is so powerful, it can rip the hair off your fingers! So be careful!
