Dyson DC25 "Ball" vacuum sitting in the corner of a room.The Dyson sitting in the corner of my home office.

The Dyson DC25 “Ball” vacuum is a fine example of industrial design and it sucks harder than all three Star Wars prequels put together — but in the good way! Right now, Future Shop and Best Buy are selling them for CDN$450, which is a $150 savings. I never thought I’d spent Christmas present money on a vacuum, but the office and apartment look great!

I don’t exactly what’s happening here, but it looks like Gianni Mirizzi (a Facebook friend of mine – you know, the whole accordion secret society thing) is rockin’ out. Well done, sir!

There’s Just No Pleasing Some People

Seriously, Melanie, Dracula’s trying to “do you a solid” here…

"Tomb of Dracula" comicClick the comic to see it at full size.

Quick Grammar Lesson: When Dracula says “It is I,” he’s using correct grammar. “It is me” (or “It’s me”), while seemingly less formal, is also incorrect. “It is he” and “It is she” are also the correct forms, while “It is him” or “It is her” are wrong. That’s because in these cases, the pronoun is the subject and “it” is the object.

What Was That Economics Term?

Seen while shopping around for a new vacuum cleaner:

Christmas tree with a sign that reads: "Was $185 Now $50"

For some reason, I can’t remember the economics term used to describe the fall in value of certain types of goods after a specific date. If you know, could you refresh my memory in the comments?

(Also: $185 is a lot to ask for a mangy-looking tree.)

And no, the term I’m looking for isn’t “SALE”, as my smart-ass schoolmate William Merlet suggested on Facebook.
