Actually, when I realized it was the Canadian site, I went to the American site, and the Quarter Pounder with cheese is 10 calories less in the US!

Must be the exchange rate.

Metric system?

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 ten extra calories are for Canadians to sacrifice to the Moose God?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Royale with Cheese?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

was this where the Baggu discussion began last week?

I think it was bitches. But why?

Trying to post this I accidentally did that thing where Opera searches google for whatever's in your clipboard, and the first result was We Love Our Baggu Bags which is pretty much my reaction to Cashmere's suggestion.

not your mom's socks.

mine just arrived - after all my linking to other design-y impostors, I figured I'd better confess! They look awesome & ... I can't believe I'm talking about a bag.

hip deep in pie

I have to admit, I am too much of a cheapskate to buy a cloth bag. All of mine have been free.

I may start to make some from left over fabric I have lying around.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I got a Target nylon shopping bag for free with last month's Vanity fair. I bring my lunch to work in it everyday and use it to hold any shopping I do on my way home. It's AWESOME.

Anybody ever ship computer hardware to Canada? It's a loan, not a purchase and we're trying to figure out how not to get screwed in Customs. To make it even more fun, it's between gov't agencies of 2 different gov'ts! Oh, we are so screwed.

It needs no explanation, the Pets' Observation Poodle from Hammacher Schlemmer. Nine inches wide and 5" deep, it gives "the inquisitive canine," which is cataloguese for "dog," a panoramic view of things at which to bark.

Hammacher Schlemmer suggests lining several of these $30 domes around the perimeter of your yard, to allow your pet an unrestricted view of interesting places it cannot go.
