We went to the mall yesterday. Calendar’s are being sold in the hallway kiosk. I look for Gary Patterson (hes the best0 but only a golf one. So i see Britney Spear’s calendar. Okay, she’s no Kournikova, but its 50% off! no other calendar is. So I buy it. $7. Open it. It s just photos of her. Down at the bottom, in 1/18 of an inch print, is su, mo, tu, etc. with little 1/18 of an inch print are the calendar days. I wanted calendar days, not a poste rof this skank! I hope they give me my money back!!:mad: ---

Well, you can always write down your schedule on the ample space of her exposed cleavage. ---

I thought this was a rant that someone’s new Britney Spears calendar didn’t “show” enough.😛 But then I saw that the thread starter was **vanilla** , which of course confused me greatly. But all is clear now. ---

I can buy a calendar (I did last year) of Anna Kournikova with actual big days to write on ALSO. I figured the Britney People would have the same intelligence to make one similar. ---

Nope, don’t have to work Sundays. 🙂 I did have to work on the second November 28[sup]th[/sup] though. At least the “corrected” calendar says 28 29 30 like it’s supposed to. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/britney-your-calendar-is-a-rip-off/142772.md?page=2)
