Well, at least you're in a more sensible time zone now.

Re: Worst story you've ever read

In an attempt to drag this back on topic, I can say that I have never been able to slog through more than a couple hundred pages of any instance of the stentorian, nay, sclerotic, prose that constitutes the body of work produced during the life of one Charles Dickens. I attribute much of the fault i...

Walmart sells Hallowe'en stuff right after the Back-to-School stuff gets taken off the shelf. So clearly we need to all be prepared for Hallowe'en right when September begins.
Even worse, Costco has had Christmas stuff out since September :P
