5 pm: Z-ing out the register. $151 on the nose–good day! We’ll try this live-blogging again sometime. See you readers Monday, see you shoppers Wednesday.
4:24 pm: Koan. If the last hour every day is perfectly quiet…and we closed the store an hour earlier…would the last hour still be perfectly quiet?

A Dozen or Fifteen Years Later
Posted in Jumble Fashion on May 30, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Ever found these awful shirts at the back of your dad’s closet, boxed them up when he wasn’t around to stop you, let a dozen or fifteen years go by, wandered into your local thrift store where they’re hanging on the wall, and thought, “Hey, those are awesome!”

Shelly tells me her brother called yesterday to talk about his summer wedding plans and then called back to mention how he should come for a visit, see the store, and film us a commercial.

Kari Perritte of Texas, here is your contest prize!

Speaking of Fulda, we’re just a few weeks a way from the Wood Duck Festival (June 19-21), our annual summer bash and one of the best small-town weekends in the area.
There’s a parade, carnival rides, pancake and meat feeds, fireworks, a beer garden, a dance, a community chorale concert, and more. (Abel interjects: I like [...]
Under the Hat, You Stink

That’s not the note you’d write in the open house card, right?
So what should we do with this little guy? He’s aftershave, see, to make eyes water. And while your average grad might not take offense at the gift, he’ll sure be offensive if he tries it.
Then again, how would it be received if you [...]
