HE'S EVIL AS A MOFO

So I've been sick all week and I'm going to use that as my excuse for not posting. Seriously. I went out and tried to buy a humidifier the other day and that could've easily been an amusing anecdote... except that I just don't feel like it. Suffice it to say I had several people in multiple stores tell me that they didn't have any because humidifiers are "seasonal items" and they only sell them in the winter. Will someone please tell me what fricking season this is? Because winter it apparently is not. Meanwhile, Mighty Girl has an amusing retail story so maybe that will entertain you for awhile. Also, the Sweater pointed us to the new musical It's Karate, Kid! If you download only one song from a musical today, download this one. And you may remember last month that the Register was mentioned on The O.C. Well, not to be outdone, my own paper was referenced on Law & Order this week:

SERENA: Didn't the CIA help run drugs for the Contras?
ARTHUR: That's a left-wing myth from the lunatic fringe.

Ouch.
