I believe we, well WT Sharpe and I, had all decided that skirts was a fine topic.

WT Sharpe · 09-24-2013, 09:51 AM

I'm skirting the issue as we speak.

And, that audio-book listener could record the audio books onto a cassette by having them play overnight while no one cares. Then you could press pause while you listen to the tape version!

But yeah, that's too much effort.

Doesn't the fun come from the creative ways to take the win?

If we weren't having fun would we keep trying?

Wal-Mart (WMT -0.55%) stores in Springhill and Mansfield, La., saw a stampede and a shelf-clearing rush Saturday after a computer glitch for food stamp recipients led to benefit cards allowing unlimited purchases.

Police were called as entire shelves were being cleared out, until the glitch was fixed and low-income residents using the cards were no longer allowed to make purchases.

From news station KSLA:

"Springhill Police Chief Will Lynd confirms they were called in to help the employees at Wal-Mart because there were so many people clearing off the shelves. He says Wal-Mart was so packed, 'it was worse than any black Friday' that he's ever seen.

Lynd explained the cards weren't showing limits and they called corporate Wal-Mart, whose spokesman said to let the people use the cards anyway. From 7 to 9 p.m., people were loading up their carts, but when the cards began showing limits again around 9, one woman was detained because she rang up a bill of $700 and only had .49 on her card. She was held by police until corporate Wal-Mart said they wouldn't press charges if she left the food.

Lynd says at 9 p.m., when the cards came back online and it was announced over the loud speaker, people just left their carts full of food in the aisles and left."

No arrests were made.

"Just about everything is gone. I've never seen it in that condition," Mansfield Wal-Mart customer Anthony Fuller told KSLA.

Something I was recently struck by is the strange nature of the color pink. While everyone seems to know what the color pink is, it isn't in the spectrum of visible colors. How could a color exist that's not on the spectrum of visible colors since, if it isn't in the spectrum of visible colors, it should not be able to be seen.
