The catch is they're hoping you don't notice. It does say "sale" after all. That's ALWAYS cheaper....right?

Always always ALWAYS read the fine print.

FFS it's not fine print, it's just The Print, and the sale price is harder to read than the other price.

In fact, are you sure that the prices listed aren't just backwards, like it's just a display error on the website?

I was trying to make a joke with the Tom Waits quote :) but I would be interested in what kind of coding error would result in that.

Has anyone found that, with all the travel restrictions (quarantine times, etc) that local (ranging from town to national, but not international) bands are getting more gigs than they used to, now that international bands aren't able to travel like they used to?

Bwahahahahaha You can never escape. I haven't seen that one before. I've worked there for over 12 years, and I'd say I'm pretty out of touch with the goings on with the company.

Consider yourself fortunate. That opening line has been burned into my brain from YouTube. Now I think everything in existence starts with, "As small-towners, we've always had a heart for the heartland..." (then you can click SKIP AD)

The one I was getting incessantly was "the average human adult has 5-20 pounds of toxic poop in their colon..."

I thought that was babies in nappies?

Were that the case then the average baby would be 50% or more toxic poop.

BTW anyone want to start a band called toxic poop?

Fair warning, this channel is addictive. Tim is like an old granddad who has the most amazing collection of toys.

It's pretty well child-safe, though.
