Supersize This

I just returned from a little trip to Ukraine (that's in Eurasia, dropouts!), and I'm a'yearnin' for a little Americana.  There is nothing--and I mean nothing--more American than snarfing down a Big Mac Extra Value Meal while trying on saggy sweatshop jeans at a Super Wal-Mart in the sticks.  Yee-haw!

What am I saying? This, friends: I'm temporarily changing the parameters of this experiment. From today until December 25th (that's Christmas, heathens!), I'm going to shop exclusively at chain stores: no independents allowed.  

Wacky!

Will it be easier?  Or will it be tougher?  

I guess I'll find out.  

Hohoho!

P.S.  I don't buy Christmas gifts (because I'm a heathen, dropouts!), so my month's contribution to the bottom lines of global corporations shouldn't be too significant.
