Weekly Selects #5

Continuing...

-Via TXT from AM:

O mighty samurai, i beseech thy help in going to battle once more against the daft swedes

Remember, I assembled a chest of drawers back in March for AM, enduring a "battle of wits" with the Swedes and IKEA furniture with nothing as weapons except for my own literacy and patience -- both of which are suspect at best. It seems AM has made another IKEA trip, and I've been commissioned into service.

If it were in the ancient samurai days, "battle" would have been as easy cutting a large Swedish Viking-dude in half with my awesome sword, Deadliest Warrior style. But now? Now I'm forced to do battle with indecipherable IKEA-issued instructions. Oh, the complexities of the modern world, civilization, and "the rule of law"...

-Via IM from Josh M:

-Via Facebook, Email, and other digital mediums, I have received three separate recommendations this past week from friends to this website: www.peopleofwalmart.com. One recommendation:

If you don't appreciate this, no one will.

Not sure what that means, but I'll try not to read into it.

Casey has developed such an affinity for the site that Nartker theorized: "Which accomplishment will Casey be more proud of? Passing his CPA exams on the first try or finding something that gets posted as a contribution to the people of Walmart blog? Still a 50 50 toss up in my mind"
