Which Price is Right?

Posted by michael on from the cent-of-profits-in-the-air dept.

slashdotNum2Big2Register writes "An interesting article at fastcompany about how things are being priced nowadays. The only drawback that concerns me is how each item and price can be connected to an individual. Amazon was already found to be doing this with their prices."

    Neither forst nor thord porst.
    I wonder of they can modify these boards to reject posts that have a mispell rate of more than 50%

    Anyway, more on the subject. If you want to see an interesting way items are priced, check out the grand opening of a new Wal-Mart. A new Super-Center opened up in the next town over from where I live (which also has a Super-Center). This store is only 25 miles away yet has prices 10% more than the older Super-Center. Not only that, you can't price match between two Wal-Marts, so they gouge the prices when the store opens to get the most money.

    Shit and enjoy. When I was in the third grade there was this kid named Brandon Tompkins. He was a very strange kid indeed. I always used to make fun of his weird little whiny, uneven voice and the strange semi-southern accent he had. Whenever he would count, I would burst out laughing when he said "Tihn" instead of "Ten".

    Well... we were at a catholic school together so we had mass to go to every Wednesday morning. One particular day I remember, he started telling me the most bizarre and disgusting thing I'd ever hear. He said he loved the feeling of taking a shit because he liked the pressure in his asshole. Of course, he didn't put it that way. But he told me that he liked sticking pencils in his butt and taking a crap. I was mortified.

    I haven't seen the kid in about 20 years, but I am almost positive that he's got to be a bone smoker by now.

    "What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children--not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women, not merely peace in our time but peace for all time."

    There's nothing like getting boned hard by a chick.

    I think women dig it, too. They get to fuck someone instead of being fucked. There's nothing cooler than a chick who's really into it banging the shit out of your pooper.

    Shouts to all you women fucking your men proper!

    No wonder you don't have a girlfriend, you fecal freak.

    Do think there's a woman in the world that would actually like to go spelunking in your filthy shit encrusted male ass?

    Apparently there are because I've dated about 40 women since I was 20 (I'm now 45 and married, thank you) and only one of them wouldn't do that for me. The rest did, including my wife. The key seemed to be letting them know that I love to lick their assholes. Once I did that to them and they got used to it, they seemed to have no problem returning the favor. In fact a lot of them really liked it.

    Too bad the software that will be doing all this complicated (and fascinating) price-analysis will be written by outsourced programmers in India and Russia. :(
