UNDERDOG of PERFECTION

I think I’ll hold off on showing these artists’ interpretations to my Mario-obsessed 4-year-old son.

And so it all comes together. I have had plenty to say in the past regarding both poorly proofread Chinese English and Menards. But when the two join forces, it’s truly awe inspiring, as shown below.

Last weekend Menards was having another of its periodic “15% bag sales.” The idea is, they mail out paper bags (like grocery bags), you bring them into the store, stuff as much into them as you can, and you get 15% off everything in your bag. Not a bad deal. So I took advantage of that opportunity to stock up on some sorely needed hand tools, including a ratchet set.

As I was taking the ratchet set out of its package I noticed, printed on the back, “The Famous Forexer Warranty.”

“Forexer”? Yes. My “pyrchase” is warranted “forexer.” Sweet! Let’s see Home Depot match that!

My loyal reader(s) (zero or more) may recall my enthusiastic exploration of one of the craziest Japanese arcade games ever made, Taito’s Turn It Around from 1999.

Well, imagine my delight a few months back when I heard a version for the Nintendo DS was in development. And today, I bought it! More later after I have a chance to play it…

I’ve just posted three new photo galleries, including a bunch from our fun day out on Saturday and my trip with the kids to the State Fair yesterday. Click the Offspring link in the top navigation bar to view them.

Things were even more frightening across the sea in Estonia!
