It's a sports metaphor! You can sell anything with a sports metaphor!
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The article takes the point of view that they're all ugly, but come on - who can resist the charm of a 737 painted to look like Shamu the killer whale? Or the "Salmon-thirty-salmon"?

So the moral is that Scotty Pippen should sell more membership cards....
Exactly!! And John Whats-his-name can work the music counter and get more back there, too.
I know I'm whining about this, but I always set myself a goal of one card per hour I'm on the register. Everyone else is happy if they can get half that, but I've been achieving my goal every shift I've worked for three weeks running so far, and about 80% of my shift before then. It's the Christmas season, and cards are even easier to sell now then they are in the summer, so what's the damn problem, people?!?

I get the shoe obsession. But the HK obsession...not so much. All the more for you, though...right?

Well, HK is included in my obsession, but it's more a wacky Japanese cuteness obsession than specifically HK. I actually like San-X stuff better than Sanrio stuff, because it's a bit twisted while also being very adorable. HK just comes up more than say, Algae Boy.

I have made a frozen Bellini by mixing champagne and peach sorbet.
I am a genius.
