Hogs hit 98 cents per kilo earlier this week
When Steven Seagal kills a ninja, he only takes its hide. When Chuck Norris kills a ninja, he uses every part.

Chuck Norris and Mr. T walked into a bar. The bar was instantly destroyed, as that level of awesome cannot be contained in one building.

The business of liquidation:

http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/co ... 711577.htm


On a side note, I'm kinda p!ssed I didn't find out earlier that Steve & Barry's was going out of business. For the past few years, I'd go down to visit Homey B and Queen Zeus in Windsor. We'd cross over to Michigan and I'd go to S&B's because I could buy kick @$$ comic T-shirts for about $5-$6 a piece. When they liquidated, they were selling 5 for $5.

$20 woulda kept me satisfied for the next couple of years :(
