My grandfather would say it looks like Boot Hill, which is what he said they called piles of dead people in WWII.*

Now, Boot Hill is the bowl of used artichoke leaves.

*uplifting!

PETA protest over people using animals for food (the horror!).

Not going out of business. http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/elfcosmetics.asp

But, yes, cheap stuff.

Why is this surprising? Because parents have known for centuries that telling a kid to "stop" always, always, always works?

Get their attention first with a Taser. Then say what you have to say.

(If you're feeling kind, and the kids are little, you can fire a warning shot first. Pets are good for this purpose.)

I have trouble trying to suppress laughter when I see one of those takes-20-seconds-to-develop falls. These are much funnier when it's eventually determined that your child is not hurt, and she looks at you and starts laughing too.

They're going to have a heck of a time coming up with real "going out of business pricing" when it turns out that $1/item really isn't a good business model.

I am a big fan of pets. Parents make a better example. You know, other parents.

Actually, that part will be easy. $10 per item.

Always make sure it's not "that time" before going to a public orgy.

It was gridlock downtown Monday morning as foot traffic snarled in a 91-pedestrian pile-up.

ETA that about 10 years ago, I was singularly unimpressed by a similar service for suits/sportcoats provided by Tom James. YMMV.

I bought a couple of suits from Tom James about the same number of years ago. I bought a "custom rack" suit - basically, separates with good tailoring - and a "custom" suit - basically, made to measure rather than full on custom. I was very impressed with the tailoring of the "custom" suit, but very unimpressed with the fabric on the suit. I've had a couple of salespeople come by and pitch for more Tom James business from me recently. I was surprised at how high the prices were.
