But That's Not What You're Going to Pay!




Today Monz had a quick greek chicken sandwich from County STREET Cafe (they've started adding "street" on all their stuff) and then went to a very important meeting (for which the Monz gave more info but has been edited to protect his interests - censorship editor). "The sandwich was yummy -- actual slices of chicken breast, no cold-cut processed crap here! With some feta cheese and olives. No sides or nothin'."

The editors were checking out late night infomercials again (the executive planning meeting was running late), and were startled to find Infomersh veteran Tony Little urging us to buy a "therapy pillow." Forget that "try it for 30-days" crap, Tony exhorted us, "I'll refund your money if you don't have a great night's sleep the very first night!" "The very first night?!" exclaimed the female cohost of the mersh. "The very first night!!!" confirmed our hero. After Tony pummelled us with all the ways this pillow would revolutionize our lives, we were ready to buy! Really -- the editors still sleep on their Sobakawa's, the long lost "rice husks" pillow that would not only support your head and keep you cool, but would make crunchy noises until it was broken in! The editors had tried to purchase replacements, only to find nothing but pale imitators. So we waited, ready to pounce for our credit cards and wallets, sure that Tony was going to cut us a great deal. Three easy payments of $29.99, plus s/h. Our hearts sank. Tony understood, for he interrupted anouncer dude and said those magic mershial words: "BUT WAIT!" We weren't going to pay that much! Tony would lop off a whole payment, throw in a special 1/2 spandex, 1/2 some-cloth-we-forget slipcover, and throw in another pillow almost for free (s/h only). Hmmm, well, we'd have to sleep on it (get it, sleep on it?!) Then, while at Walgreens pharmacy the next morning, the music editor spotted the same pillow on sale for $49.99. What's this? Clearence?! $20?! Sweet dreams are made of this! (somebody stop us, we're on fire!) We will report on the efficacy Monday, or maybe not, because Tony wouldn't let us down!
