I stumbled across this blog post that makes an interesting claim. The claim is that Walmart uses smaller quantities and sizes to charge less than a competitive store while actually increasing the cost per unit price. Anyone else heard of this?

I thought you would get a kick out of this one, please see the attached picture. I bought packs of Quilted Northern, 12 rolls each with identical packaging, one from each store. The roll on the left is Target, the one on the right is Wal Mart.

Pretty funny huh?

This is why I love The Onion…

Google Responds To Privacy Concerns With Unsettlingly Specific Apology

“Whether you’re Michael Paulson who lives at 3425 Longview Terrace and makes $86,400 a year, or Jessica Goldblatt from Lynnwood, WA, who already has well-established trust issues, we at Google would just like to say how very, truly sorry we are.”

I always thought the memorabilia from the Superbowl losing team was donated to charity but apparently some of the shirts made their way to eBay (surprise surprise). If anyone wants a t-shirt naming the Colts as Superbowl 44 champs here’s your chance. Current bid is $7.50.

My favorite quote from the listing:

Great for a COLTS fan or Super Bowl Collector!!!

Or if you just Collect strange, one of a kind items that has to do with Super Bowl losers.

Apparently when beating someone in basketball and yelling “Booyah!” after sinking the winning shot, I was referring to a cooking event. See the wikipedia article below:

Booyah or Booya is a food that is prepared like a stew, but on a very large scale. It takes many cooks to prepare the food, and it is usually meant to serve hundreds or even thousands of people. The name booyah is also used to describe the event surrounding the meal, and is probably a degenerated form of the name bouillabaisse, or as a mis-interpretation of the French word bouillon by a newspaper reporter

So next time you yell “Booyah” you’re really offering to cook someone a stew. And we all know nothing says “you got schooled” like stew.
