Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The only reason I know those stores apart is that Borders lets you do your own computer searches while B&N makes you actually search out and talk to a human.

Not true! At least, the Barnes and Noble('s) I go to most often lets you search yourself.

On reflection, I think I add "the" more than the possessive.

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

Support your locally-owned bookseller!

Find me one! Seriously, in LA, it's so much easier to find an independent cinema than a bookstore.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I hate writing cheques. I want to switch to fully online bill-paying but my mother objects and I have no backbone.

Additionally, in today's 7th grade history class, a bunch of students knocked a framed newspaper article from 1964 off the wall and shattered the frame everywhere. I wanted to cry.

Find me one!

Well, my friends' store does a ton of online business plus there's Powell's.

Because books.

We have a huge one here, Chester County Books & Music, and when I did a blog post about books the other day, I included links from them instead of Amazon.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

When I worked at Penney's a lot of people would think they were in The Bon Ton. I did almost lose it once when a little old lady said, "What do you mean, I'm not in The Bon Bon?!?!"

I blame the McDonald's conglomerate for that, actually. And Starbucks, I guess, even though it isn't possessive.

I blame Truman Capote.

I love that idea, lisah!
