The oldest form of social security

June 9, 2008 - 1:30pm — Mathias Baden

Wagner Bros. Apple Orchard's sign along Highway 169 said something to the effect of "Suspenders are the oldest form of social security."

That was today's quippy quote. I'm sure there will be something interesting again tomorrow.  

I am continually amused by the frequently changing sign next to the funeral home. 


Rejected "Star Wars" Merchandise

March 30, 2008 - 1:56pm — Mathias Baden

An awesome high school friend of mine, Sean, sent me this link to a National Public Radio story about rejected "Star Wars" merchandising ideas: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89025323&ps=bb3.

My favorites are the Death Star grill and the Han Solo frozen-in-carbonite refrigerator. Can you think of something better?

Who's got a smoke?

According to the minutes of the Dec. 17 Jordan City Council meeting, you can buy cigarettes at eight locations in town. They are: Jordan Wine and Spirits, Radermacher's Fresh Market, Talk of the Town Liquors, Moola's Bar, Jack's Bar and Grill, the Holiday gas station, Broadway Market, and Brewers of Jordan Bar and Grill.  

The minutes received city council approval tonight.
