I was in the bathroom at a Border’s Bookstore when one of my ‘Commercialism Laments’ struck me. The initial seed for this particular diatribe came from the Wife when she expressed her extreme displeasure at Border’s for removing paper towels from their bathrooms and replacing them solely with the standard ineffective hand dryer.

Nice how Shellio’s comment about illegals in Plant City feeds right into this post. I drive MLK into Plant City. I am not sure if this really saves me time, as it is a two lane road prone to slow drivers and such, but it is the closest street to my house and [...] My description of hot and cold weather has somehow degenerated into a constant mentioning of witchy underwear. Years ago I heard an old curmudgeon (Bob) say it was as cold as a witch’s tit in a brass bra in the middle of winter. What a wonderful phrase. And as the years went [...] The Plant City store manager was very proud of the fact that he won his petition to get the store to close an hour earlier. Now, instead of 10:00, the Plant City Save-a-lot closes at 9:00. The reason he cited was lack of business, after 9:00 the town shuts down. I nodded [...] The mortgage crisis continues. Bad loans to deadbeat people has lead to a lack of confidence in the entire credit system. Now, because of a relatively small group of people defaulting on loans made by some true idiots on the banking side of things we all have to suffer. Add China’s consumption [...] Did you see the most recent democrat debate?!? Silly me, of course you did. Obama and Hillary went at it like two desperate politicians willing to kill for the presidency. Sorry, my ability to analogize is running to the accurate rather than the allegorical at the moment. I thought Hillary lost. [...] I have now worked in 6 stores in 3 months. What an adventure it has been, though I use that word in a very loose way that should not really imply anything fun or exciting. Having worked in so many stores in so short period of time I have some observations, but first [...] While driving to buy a suit (my first!) I came upon a road near my house that was blocked with traffic. The cause of this blockage were 4 very large stork like birds out on a stroll in the middle of the road. Their heads came up past my car window, their beaks [...] Oh, the air is thick with politics. That tell-tale scent of bull-pucky, desperation and compromised values hangs thick throughout our great land. I have not commented thus far because the news has done such a remarkable job for me. My shtick is, admittedly one of sarcasm mixed with irony with a touch [...] The tag-line for the new Stallone / Rambo movie is: HEROES NEVER DIE THEY JUST RELOAD Which is an admitted improvement over the first suggestion: HEOES NEVER DIE THEY JUST GET OLD, HAVE TROUBLE READING THEIR CONTRACTS AND ARE EASILY MANIPULATED BY THEIR UNSCRUPULOUS BUSINESS MANAGERS INTO DOING ANOTHER RAMBO MOVIE I think the first line is more [...] |
