This is a followup for “Ultra-Capitalism Strikes Again” and “Ripped Off, Cut Off, Drove Off.” That’s right, Steve and Barry’s at the Carousel Center (and many other locations) currently has its entire store reduced to $6.95. That includes pants, shorts, sweaters, and even coats. A recent pair of pants I purchased was manufactured in Botswana….

Scandinavian Break 2006
Oops, There Goes the Guestbook!
Tonight I noticed that there was an upgrade available for my guestbook script. So, thinking it couldn’t take long, I decided to install it. However, the “Black Sunrise” skin I use wasn’t working with it, one thing led to another, and I ended up accidentally deleting the whole guestbook database. Luckily there’s a Google cache…

However, check out how far the lawn chair on my front porch traveled (red circle): The winds reached 64mph (103 km/h) at the Syracuse’s…
Valentine’s Day is Nothing but Christmas II
Think about it… Take Christmas, change green to pink (keep the red and white), replace Santa Claus with chocolate, and you get Valentine’s Day. Working at Target has shown me that holidays are nothing but different color crayons shading in stencils. We have a section called “Mini-Seasonal,” which contains all the food products and other…
Why Complete Idiot’s Guides are Simply Better
My chemistry textbook: “A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of reaction without being consumed in the overall reaction.” The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Chemistry: “Catalysts can be compared to my friend Erika (not that you know her). When I was in college, Erika was roommates with a woman named Ingrid. Erika helped…
Distaste for Your Professor? Better Keep it to Yourself
Let’s say you don’t like one of your professors this semester. Shouldn’t you be able to give him or her a review online? Apparently Syracuse University doesn’t think so. The Daily Orange‘s big story yesterday was about four SU freshmen, who, after apparently feeling their writing instructor didn’t “know what she’s doing ever,” started a…
