It’s on Clarence by Sussex, across from the Black Thorn.

Thus I will order my electronics from the intraweb and put up with shipping rather than a sales droid approaching me every 3 minutes.

What is especially annoying is usually I know more about the product I am seeking then the droid.

On the other hand, if I later want your help, WHERE ARE YOU, STAFF?

I swear, there hasn’t been a new card written in the last ten years, and from the “funny” section they’ve taken out of circulation all of the jokes that weren’t offensive to the person to whom you’re giving the card.

No kidding. I tried to buy a birthday card at … Carlton a couple weeks ago, and almost all of them involved “HAHA YOU’RE GETTING SO DAMN OLD”.

I mean, my friend was turning 25. Not exactly ancient.

I didn’t notice what section they were in, but there were not only cards of some sort for Mom and Dad, but also for Mom and “Dad”, and for Dad and “Mom”. I’ve had a few step-parents along the way, and while sometimes they were in a parental role, I don’t think I could picture myself sending parent and step-parent a card with finger quotes on the front.

Wow. All I can say.
