• Some people get blackout drunk and do stupid things with their credit cards.  For me, it's not alcohol that does it.  I still don't know what exactly happened, but I ended up on ThinkGeek and suddenly my wallet was lighter but an awesome package was on the way.
• Based on his erratic voting record, I'm convinced Anthony Kennedy treats the Supreme Court as a giant game of D&D.

• The best grocery store special I've ever seen: hefty chunks of cake for $1 each labeled "Oops We Baked Too Much."
