So, Christmas is coming, and everyone knows what that means: time to send people stupid Christmas catalogs. (Sorry, holiday catalogs, they don't care what you believe as long as you'll part with money.)
So, as I am a single, childless 25 year old male who is renting, I have currently received:
- Terry's Village - a catalog that appears to specialize in home decorating thingies.
- Young Explorers - "Creative educational products" - i.e., toys for kids.
- Hearth Song - another toy catalog, although on the "old fashioned fun" side
- The Paragon - clearly aimed at women over 30
- Collections Etc. - a lower-class version of the Paragon
- Betty's Attic - random crap, mostly involving Emmett Kelly or the "leg lamp" from A Christmas Story
- American Girls Catalog - sorry, I don't like playing with dollies. (Anymore.)
- Figis - miscellaneous "gift" food (cheese, chocolates, etc.)
- Things Gifts You Never Knew Existed... - this one is actually aimed at my demographic. Amazing!
I should mention that every one of those catalogs was shipped to me, by name. It's not like I'm getting the previous residents' catalogs or something. These are being shipped to me.
Dollies?!
You liked playing with dollies? WHEN?!
I refuse to answer that question
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that you might actually remember the answer.
But I do . . .
Well, I remember very well ... but that's all I'll say. (I have enough material to blackmail both sides of this discussion.)
