My feelings on Shakespeare’s Falstaff have shifted back and forth over the years, sometimes positive, sometimes negative. This piece didn’t shift my opinion, but it’s a fascinating angle nonetheless.

Well friends, it happened. Dr. Evil needed some postal supplies and just like that, we were headed to the Dollar General; no planning, no debate, just off and running.

And it was everything that had been promised and more! The day’s haul:

• Mailer
• Cashews (on sale)
• Novelty drinks
• Bounce dryer sheets
• A mandala coloring book
• Crayola (yeah, name brand, yo!) colored pencils
• Egg noodles

All for around $20. Sorry, Family Dollar, I think we’re breaking up.
