Last week I already started seeing back to school ads.  :wacko:
What? It's still June! That reminds me when I started seeing Christmas ads last Halloween.   :wacko: :blink:

IMHO, back to school is just another marketing gimmick for the retailers of America. The economy is awful right now, hence they figured they'd get a jump on it. It seems that advertising for ever holiday starts a little earlier each year.  :rolleyes:

I went to Quiznos for the first time today. I think I like Subway better.

I like both Quizno's and Subway equally.

I have a trojan called SpyShredder in my computer, a virus that acts like an anti-virus program. I'm using various programs to remove it. I hope this works, because otherwise I'd have to use system recovery to restart my computer to its factory settings, which I would hate to do (I already had to do it once last year).  :hmm:
