10 reasons I'm happy about the $10 Threadless sale

10 reasons I'm happy about the $10 Threadless "Spring Broke" sale (through mid-March):

Yum!	I hope E.T. has a calling card...
Click for full detail, it's worth it.	"The Optical Illusion Kid". Nifty, eh?
They're printed on the shoulders.	The unicorn's face is priceless.
Sure looks like flowers, at first.	"I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly"
"The Scr-Emo". Oh noes!	"Peace and Hate. Can You Tell the Difference?".

And, as always, if you buy through one of my links, you'll be an 11th reason I'm happy, because I'll be that much closer to getting a free shirt.

Accidental invasion

What began as a routine invasion of Iraq for some American soldiers almost ended in an embarrassing diplomatic incident, when the troops got lost at night and mistakenly marched into Somalia.  U.S. sources say the soldiers will leave immediately for Equatorial Guinea as soon as the Somalis are ready to resume control of a representative democracy, with similar stops planned in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, and Cameroon, since we happened to be in the neighborhood anyway.

Where's Tully Bascombe when we need him? (The Mouse that Roared is second only to Duck Soup on my lists of best satire, best war movie, and best political movie -- above Dr. Strangelove on those lists.  Duck Soup is, moreover, my favorite movie of all time, so The Mouse that Roared never had a chance at #1.)

Wiispotting

I saw two Wiis in a Target in Valdosta, Georgia this weekend.  I did not buy either of them.  As I was heading back to the interstate, I also saw a person dressed as a juvenile giraffe standing in front of a toy store, holding a bright green sign that said "We Have Wii!".

Are Valdosta merchants really having difficulty finding buyers?  Do they have the Internet around there?  WTF, mate y'all?
