THANK YOU! That's what it looked like from the commercials. And those stores have that stuff all the time!
Which ties into my horror at being in the downtown store when the Bazaar was first revealed. I was shopping all unawares when a horde of Marketing Managers from HQ descended on the section next to me, and I heard exclamations of "It's so cuuuuuuuute!" and "Everything's so unique!" I turned the corner to see what was causing such a commotion, and was confronted with stacks of chairs that are directly copied from chairs Pier 1 has carried for decades, piles of cheaply-embroidered pillows, and the sight of overly-tanned, Midwestern-fashionable managers cooing over plaster Buddhas.
I had to flee.
Which is not to say there's not good stuff there. Just that being in the middle of a stampede of Minnesota shoppers is never a good place to be, especially for a misanthrope that used to manage a Pier 1.

Reality.
Yeah, that annoys me too. However, at least my perception of it doesn't influence millions of people and dozens of countries.
Shrub, how he hates the press conference. All those people! Asking questions! He so rarely does them.
People asking questions, and then expecting him to answer them! And not all of them can be answered with excerpts from his stump speech.
MEEP! There was a train derailment (commuter train) over by Allyson's neighborhood. That plus the rain must mean the traffic is all screwy.
ita, looking for the bench for you.
This one is 18 inches high. how high did it need to be, ita?
MEEP! There was a train derailment (commuter train) over by Allyson's neighborhood.
Is that the same derailment that killed four people?
The freeway is shut down in my neighborhood, and I have no idea how I will get to work. Ugh.
