Sturgeon’s Law

Ninety per­cent of every­thing is crap.


Derived from a quote by sci­ence fic­tion author Theodore Stur­geon, who once said, “Sure, 90% of sci­ence fic­tion is crud. That’s because 90% of every­thing is crud.” Oddly, when Sturgeon’s Law is cited, the final word is almost invari­ably changed to ‘crap’.

Underwear Saga Continues

Back in Decem­ber I chron­i­cled a major event in my life, the pur­chase of new under­wear, twice. You get what you pay for. When you spend $10 for 5 pairs of under­wear you, get under­wear worth $2. In the short span of per­haps 4 wash­ings the briefs from Tar­get are com­ing apart. In 3 of the 5, the elas­tic in the waist­band is com­ing un-sewn. In all the color is fad­ing fast. While we were on Hilton Head Island this week­end, Donna and I did a lit­tle out­let mall shop­ping and one of the stores we ven­tured into was a Jockey store. They had some nice briefs that were 3 for $11. After tak­ing a pair out of the pack, I could see that I was def­i­nitely a size large in their world. I snagged a cou­ple boxes. Donna was over dig­ging through the store’s clear­ance table and when I showed her my picks she said, put them back. Huh!?! On the table she was look­ing at were two of the very same things I had in my hand, but priced at $3.99. Nii­ice.
P.S. If you click on that briefs link, what you will see is exactly what I look like in them. :-) (Well, maybe, wished I looked like. Whater ever you do, don’t press the “Detail” button.)
