I loved working at a gas station...it helped me pay my way through a bachelors, masters and doctorate. Plus, no one is watching your back.

Sure Walmart employs a lot of people, but those people worked at other places before walmart ran those places out of business. Having seen firsthand (four times) what a Walmart does to a small town's businesses, self-esteem, natural resources and citizens, I can't help but feel extremely contemptuous towards the company. I don't think it's a case of "doing something better" than those small, locally owned businesses it out-competes; I think it's a case of undercutting, shortcutting and short changing. The worst part is that Walmart is all-consuming--they pay employees so little that they can only afford to shop at the place they work...nothing gets filtered back into a community, it's a weird little terrarium of an economy that's self-propegating and self-feeding.

Is there any truth to the suspicion that Walmart hires differently abled and older employees at reduced wages, or in exchange for tax credits? I heard this and find it hard to believe, even given my distaste and distrust for the megastore.

Heyo, I have like 8 of these. It's for jacking up houses and supporting sagging beams.

Stupid Sock Creatures is best...and it comes with supplies.

It's for putting the shipping cost on items at the post office. It only goes up to 99 cents.

"Night of the Living Dorks!!" It's German and subtitles only, but very very funny.

Awww. Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter was funny.

The whole Sleepaway Camp series is hysterical (Part 2 is the ultimate in Camp Camp!)

Oh, there are so many good zombie movies. I am a zombie flick addict, and have seen hundreds.

There are some good suggestions here, especially Dead Alive, Black Sheep, etc. What is it with New Zealanders and zombies?? Another, surprisingly, good one "Flight of the Living Dead" (Zombies on a Plane). Funny anyway. Undead (2003) was a lot of fun.

If you're looking for something romantic, I'd suggest "Return of the Living Dead 3" over "Zombie Honeymoon."

"Happiness of the Katakuris" is brilliant! (But not really zombies, if I remember correctly.)

There's always CHUD and CHUD 2 (CHUD 2 aka "Bud the CHUD" is much funnier than CHUD)

Now, I'm ashamed of my zombie dorkness.

BTW: worst horror movies: Turistas (boring and offensive...what a combo!) or Rest Stop (it wasn't bad enough to be funny, but it was bad enough to cause pain)

lancelet for bloodletting.

Really? The ball must be attached, otherwise it will fall into your mouth, right? And if the ball is attached then it's gonna be a pain to clean that.

Why is this news?

It's better than the JCPenny "Husky" (for boys) and "Pretty Plus" for girls. I'd prefer "Chubby" to the weirdly proper "Pretty Plus" (which I always took to mean "Plus Some Fat." I hate the term Plus Size...I should start a committee to bring Chubby back. I'd wear charming Chubby-sized clothes. That would rock.

(I was just discussing yesterday the mix of sorrow and joy I feel when I see "Pretty Plus" Girl Scout uniforms. I feel bad for the 10 year olds who must wear them, but thrilled that I can get one in my size...WOO HOOO!)

Sock Grips.
Or tiny tiny steampunk bear gloves for a tiny tiny bear.

Or Pre-cambrian salad tongs.

We have knitvandals in Kalamazoo, MI

Pudifoot...hi-larious!
