"How old is your daughter?"

Can't embed; obviously LJ is trying to subvert the new paradigm.
Update: 236 also has the headline of the week: " Sarah Palin is like Ronald Reagan, if Ronald Reagan wasn't smart enough to be an actor."
In other news, I finally had time to assemblle my new smoker, and quickly discovered that it had been bought before (the scribbled customer service number on the instruction manual was a clue), and that it was broken in a way that would not be good to try to deal with. So I went back to Home Despot (luckily it's 4 blocks from home), and they were amazingly good about a) helping me get the only one left off the 3rd shelf, and b) installing the replacement door that was in the box to fix the same problem the original one had. It's now seasoning, in anticipation of it's job next Saturday smoking a turkey for the KaCSFFS Thanksgiving dinner.
OK, I am officially creeped out by Circuit City's "We'll Hook You Up" ad campaign. Of course, most consumers have been creeped out by Circuit City for some time now, thus the store closings. I have to admit I am surprised it took so long; I expected more of a backlash from their DIVX fiasco (look it up, I'm too lazy to find a link). Wish I had cash, I'm sure I could score some good deals.
