The picture worth a thousand giggles (thanks, Con eee). A note about yesterday's picture: you've asked for a wallpaper with an anvil and a walrus. We ask why, but then we promise to try and get you that wallpaper-sized image tomorrow. Check out the highlights for today:

Of course you guys do realize there's no little clearance sign actually in front of the PS3's right? The boxes just happen to be near the unfortunate sign. Don't let facts get in your way Zdog.

Brian, those PS3 is too big to fit at top cabinet. If they were small enough, I bet they'll put them as close as possible to the sign. LOL!

I mean typically stores want to do that. Put an item everyone knows is high priced right around a sign that says "Stock Clearance". That way people buy it more because they think it's worth the "low" price that they're getting it for. It's a perfect marketing strategy. Did I answer that well? Cause it didn't make any sense to me.
