It was at the Target on Bristol in Costa Mesa. I only found one. It was clearly marked $24.xx on the clearance tag and was at the electronics endcap. This is the second one I've found at several different Targets. Interestingly, they were both located in the poorer neighborhoods. (A Target in...

The ones on clearance are in different packaging from the regular black and silver ones. The package is twice as wide as the normal one because it includes a case and batteries. Also, the calculator color is purple or blue. Here's one with a picture from eBay...

Gals: Free device to let you STAND while Urinating!

The website definitely has a sense of humor: Stand Up? comes with or without a soft gentle adhesive providing a completely tight seal allowing hands-free use (snow and sand scribing requires the use of your hands).

We will all be killed by insects. Not a joke. Interesting story.

You're quoting Kent Bronkman. Anyone ever see "Five Million Years to Earth" (UK title was "Quartermass and the Pit") where scientists discover that insectlike Martians had colonized the earth with humans?

Who's the most famous person you know personally?

Went to high school with the director John Singleton. He was a grade ahead of me. Knew him because we both liked comic books. He was a quiet and intense guy. There was a teacher at my high school who played in the NBA game where Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points. I once worked at the company...

Any Mole 2 Fans?

I think Bill is the Mole. 1. He is a retired Navy Admiral and yet he can't tread water for 30 seconds in the pool. 2. He easily lost the gnome in the bike reward challenge. 3. He very quickly wanted to do a double or nothing in the village maze challenge.
