1. i forgot to mention in my blog about Captain D's that not only am i amazed that the niche market for fast-food-seafood exist, but that there actually exists competition!!!!! [technically i'd consider it an oligopoly-ish market, but thats really not the point here] the point is, Mike reminded me today about Long John Silver's!! i mean honestly. did one see the other in the market and conclude that not only was there profit to be made, but enough to justify entry?! i just dont get it. i'll need to consult a more learned economist and get back to you, oh faithful readers.
2. i know that both ashe and kathryn have covered the 'elf yourself' site in their respective blogs, but my dad sent me a really cute one of my cousin, his fiance and their GIANT puppy sadie. sadie is a mastiff rottweiler mix. HUGE. HUGE. cute though. and blogworthy if i DO say so myself.

3. i'm writing a paper about point shaving in the NBA. fascinating. except i havent written a paper in over a year. that really blows my mind. this is only my third class in my college career that has assigned a paper. crazy, especially in a major with such a heavy emphasis on being published in economic journals. and also cause the other two classes were speach comm and CALCULUS LAB. Silly.

Captain D's has a product called "The Torpedo Sandwich." It makes me cringe every time I thnk about it, even though I've never tried/ seen one!
i'm keri, i think i'm a real economist or something...
I'll have you know that beyond Captain D's and Long John Silver's there also exists Arthur Treacher's, H. Salt Esquire, Ivar's, and Skipper's - fast food fish places, all! This is a booming market selling a much wanted, nay needed product and I suggest you don't mock it.
And kathryn (as if that's your real name) I'll have you know the torpedo sandwich is a little piece of mana sent from heaven on high to delight and rapture taste buds of the otherwise unworthy mortals. Do you know why the Catholics eat fish instead of meat during Lent? It's because only after 40 days of the utter perfection delivered unto one through the wonders of fast-food-fish could one possibly begin to understand the Resurrection. Jesus came back not for your sins, but because he had an Arthur Treacher's coupon that was going to expire...and wasting something so precious would clearly be a damnable sin.
