I'll Take Two

"Daily Product" for an unknown price above $0.99? 

Who could ask for anything more?

Restaurant Week Day 5: It Is NYC, After All

I know it's NYC, but that better be diamond-encrusted cheese! 

(This place has so much to offer that I decided to throw the side of cuscus in as a bonus.)

Restaurant Week Day 3: Because the $X.99 Model Is So Cliche

It's not just the random price points that please me; it's the way the pricing is offset just enough to give the illusion that a medium cappuccino is over a dollar more than a large.

Equal Pay

So close.

Don't Invest in Twitter (Guest Posting: Erica Johnson!)

I actually follow my money, but that's because I'm a wallet-in-the-front-pocket kind of guy. But what does any of this have to do with a rental company?

It might not be as bad as the Facebook IPO, 

but don't say you weren't warned.

What a Steal!

For some unknown price over 99¢ you can buy the "Daily Product." Wonderful.

Bonus BSB Christmas Eve Edition

Copyright stamps on your gifts: one reason you should never buy wrapping paper from the dollar store.

What's Your Worth? (Odd Jobs Series)

I just imagine someone with a thick Brooklyn accent shrugging and saying: "Whaddaya think? $50,600? $56,100? Hey, we're flexible. But this ain't Wall Street. $56,200? Fuhgeddaboudit"

Separate but Equal

I guess "Admission $12" was too obvious.

Trapped at Home? No Friends? This Is for You! (Guest Signage: Charles Gilbert!)

Are you a recluse?
Do you want to change your ways and get paid in the process?
If so, Six Flags Great Adventure is the place for you!

Now I don't know if you can really call wages and pay "perks" or "benefits." But I'm just glad Six Flags is owning up to the fact that their energy source is electricity. If only all companies were so straightforward; We could finally have an honest national debate on solar energy and clean coal.

Exact Change (Guest Signage Thursday: Mom!)

First of all, this is the most awesome charity ever.

Second, whatever “other” you pick, make sure it’s divisible by $2.71666666666666666. 

Lastly, what's up with the ellipsis between "Please" and "send"? I...don't get it.

The Negative Valuation of Water (Thoughtless Food Series)

An establishment I frequent recently made the jump from "beer and wine only" to hard liquor. And it appears that they partook in said hard liquor when writing up the menu.


Company policy is to measure out at least one shot per drink, so the $11 price tag on shots compared to the $10 "Scotch & Water" can mean only one thing: water has a negative valuation.


Taking this idea to its logical conclusion, I now have every faucet in my apartment running full tilt, 24/7. I'll be able to cover rent in no time.
