If I were unfettered by the ever-tightening chains of poverty and gave way to the consumerist ways of my society, I would purchase all of these things:
A D&D Toilet Seat: Check this thing out! Holy moley (thanks,
snowy_kathryn)!
Personalized Figures: The narcissist in me
desperately craves a ShanMonster action figure (thanks
tlatoani).
Also, the aforementioned whorish gown isn't nearly so bad when it's worn
correctly (thanks
wushi). Mary Gonzalez points out some other dresses sold
by the same shop which are horrible for other reasons, though (Rainbow Brite overload, pastel surprise, and the 70s stole tore the side off this
dress).
Last night, I went to my parents' place for a traditional Newfie jigs dinner (recipe here). We sat in the livingroom and watched Operation Petticoat as we ate, and then finished off by watching America's Funniest Home Videos, most of which weren't funny at all. I was mightily disturbed by the programme. At one point, the host said, "Experts say you should spend more time reading than watching TV. Well, read my lips." And then he mouthed "Watch more TV."
The wrongness of the moment was overwhelming. This was the first time I'd sat and watched television in about a month, and I hope it's the last for about as long. Yikes, I say. Yikes.

It was served as a "side" dish; mushy and very very tasty, it was. For the life of me, I can't remember was they called it...
