A few days later, Staples sent me an e-mail, thanking me for my purchase of said pencils, maybe I'd be interested in some pink erasers (as if they foresee many mistakes ahead...)?

Logan's Run was a novel (first of a trilogy that included Logan's World and Logan's Search, plus a later short story) about a dystopian future where the law proscribed death at 21 (a 70's movie adaption changed that age to 30; a remake has been talked about for years, but doesn't seem to be able to get off the ground).http://www.easthollow.com/blogger/2009/06/new-logans-run-comic.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Daryl)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11784810.post-5869652907141090101Wed, 17 Jun 2009 22:48:00 +00002009-06-17T18:50:21.423-04:00Here's a neat article featuring old-time ads that used word balloons to get their message across.http://www.easthollow.com/blogger/2009/06/word-balloons-in-old-ads.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Daryl)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11784810.post-4164014706891230913Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:54:00 +00002009-06-15T20:01:29.156-04:00DailyINK is a website that offers access to daily comics, among other things such as interactive puzzles, from King Features Syndicate.
