Shopping -- is there a more dreaded word in the English language? Especially -- ESPECIALLY -- as in "Holiday Shopping"? But sometimes one must bite the bullet and take one for the economy, so we went out shopping at 5:15 this morning to get something that had a limited number of items at the store. Even at a technology store the line was long, but we did manage to get what we were looking for.
But sometimes when you go to the store you see something that catches you by surprise. In a store that passes for a "department store" these days, I saw a display of something whose function is not entirely clear. The wag in me would call these "Christmas bedpans" -- after all, what else do they look like? -- but somehow it doesn't feel like that's their intended function. Who knows?
