We rarely ask any favors of you, dear readers, so we're hoping you'll oblige the following humble
request. You see, in the midst of Black Friday's acquisitional frenzy, we may have gotten a
emtad/em carried away, making purchases beyond our fiscal means -- and emfar beyond/em our typical
practicality. What dark forces would drive us to purchase a set of nickel-plated egg beaters, a
lifetime supply of Poligrip denture paste, three Razor scooters and the complete Kenny Loggins
discography, you may ask? Our emdamnable, hard-wired frugality/em.br /br /Our savings accounts now
liquidated, we currently find ourselves in a residential crisis. Had we only possessed the
foresight to place importance on rent payments rather than kitchen utensils and a
href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7-e6Yhu5SU"emsmooth, smooth music/em/a, we may have avoided
this predicament. That's where you guys come in -- we either need to pawn off our regrettably
obtained goods to pay off our living expenses, or be put in contact with a landlord who will accept
the aforementioned odds and ends as apartmental compensation. Surely, someone out there knows of a
kind superintendent with unsecure dentures and a proclivity for emscooting/em.br /br /The spending
habits of Japan's console-purchasing populous mirrored our own over the past week, with most
systems seeing major sales increases. Six of the top ten best-selling titles belonged to Nintendo's
handheld -- combined with the limited availability of the DSi, this caused a major bounce-back for
the DS Lite. We've sent a congratulatory "a
href="http://northfield.org/files/hang.in.there.baby_2.jpg"Hang in There, Baby/a" poster in
response, though we're not sure the DS Lite will receive it, as it is an inanimate object.br /br /-
