My hometown was torn apart over a hot dog cart's right to operate on Main St. after the bars closed. It's the best place to drunkenly stuff your face since La Bamba's "Burritos as Big as Your Head" moved out of stumbling distance and into driving territory. People kept getting into fights next to the cart when drunks would try to skip the line, so the police shutdown the cart and made the vendor leave. Capitalists came to his rescue and the controversy spilled into the "It's Your Call!" section of the newspaper where illiterate citizens can effectively have their voicemails transcribed into the newspaper. After some headache, the hot dog man was reinstated to his spot on Main St. for a couple weeks. Then some industrious reporter found out that he didn't even have a license to operate a business. Oddly enough, the exact same thing happened several years earlier a town over, except the guy was selling fireworks he trucked up from Tennessee. No one ever bothered to check if he'd had a license until they'd gone through ages of arguments about people blowing fingers off. Sometimes it's the most obvious questions we forget to ask.

Some guys dressed up in tunics and tights were swinging padded swords around at the park on Saturday. The had spears with pads on the end and those ball-and-chain weapons that they'd swing into each others shields and faces. There was one woman in the group, and she bore a striking resemblance to the tower that Rapunzel lived in. They were an impressive lot, and my girlfriend's younger sister who all weekend couldn't stop talking about her high school's marching band referred to the Medieval Revivalers as 'nerds.' She was, of course, correct. But there's something in seeing a group of people operating so far outside the realm of acceptable social behavior that lets you know you're not quite that bad, and it's a good feeling.

Someone needs to buy the last ten so that it will stop making me grumpy just to look at it.
Or someone can give back a size eight in black... then I would be happy again.

Preparing for the World's End-- the dose

Today's Deals on Steep and Cheap:
A guy I met once sent a mass e-mail imploring his subscribers to prepare for the fallout from the collapse of the world's financial markets by stockpiling supplies in our homes. He also recommended converting some of our cash into commemorative gold coins, because he said gold bullion will be outlawed, and eventually if you own any bullion the government will confiscate it and arrest you for treason. This, to me, seems like bad advice. I'd stock up on commemorative plates instead of commemorative coins, but that's just because if things don't go crazy with martial law, you'll still be able to give the plates as wedding gifts for ages and they're guaranteed to be a big hit. You know, if things do really go completely upside down and the government becomes our enemy, I think drug dealers would be the best off. They'd have lots of cash and plenty of goods that they could trade for food or necessities, plus they've developed skills necessary to avoiding problems with the government. Not that I'd encourage anyone to become a drug dealer; I'm just saying.
Today on SteepandCheap we have some Keen Men's Newport Hemp Sandals, Granite Gear Latitude Vapor Backpacks, and prAna Women's Moto Capris.

I know this is going to sound like a silly question and I bet if I just did a simple search I would find the answer, but....
If you purchase off of GE what is the return policy, shipping, etc?

The meanest prank we ever pulled on a co-worker at the bike shop was the time we hid a piece of raw chicken inside his new bike. When I was 16 years old they put some pedals I'd ordered weeks earlier in the display case and then my boss spent all day on the phone with our distributor trying to find out what had happened to our order. He was in on the whole thing and ended up asking me to get something out of the case right in the front of the store when I found me pedals an hour before closing. We filled people's bike tires with water and once covered a frame with packaging tape so we could graffiti it with spray paint--that actually almost brought our friend to tears when he proclaimed, "You've gone too far this time." My favorite was the time we replace a guy's ski boot liners with a set two sizes smaller and then tried to reassure him as he walked around grimacing about his feet and ordering the wrong size. The bike shop was a cruel place to grow up.
