Did you know **The Home Depot** anagrams to “Hot Pee Method?” We’ll be right back to this episode of _Hardware, Hard Fall_ after a few words from [Cecil](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a4_220.html). Stay tuned! ---

I dunno. I like Home Depot. Good times while I’m there. ---

I don’t think Home Depot sells those kinds of power tools, **pencilpusher**. ---

Did you know women are from Lowe’s, men are from [Home Depot](http://www.longmontfyi.com/tcBusiness/bizStoriesArchive.asp?ID=446)? That kind of bothers me. I prefer _syrup_. ---

One is opening up beside Canadian Tire here in TBay. I’ll stay with Canadian Tire, for I’d rather support a Canadian outfit. ---

Home Depot doesn’t sell tires, so I think you’re OK. ---

I like Home Depot. Where else can you go to get a new toilet seat _and_ a hot dog? ---

Wal-Mart, of course. ---

Yeah, but if you walk around Wal-Mart with a toilet seat around your neck, you’re boasting. In Home Depot, you’re just too lazy to get a shopping dolly. ---

They don’t have hot dogs in any Wal-Mart around here. ---

Wal-Mart is the main place to go for pretty much everything around here. There’s one not far from here (as things go in rural country) that has a grocery store inside it. You can, and I am not making this up, get a lawnmower, a hot dog, an evening gown and a squirt gun from the same store. ---

Thanks, **punha**. Now I’ve got this vision of you showing up at Dope-a-Ween wearing an evening gown, pushing a lawn mower, armed with a squirt gun, and eating a hot dog. ---

I only shop at Home Depot and refuse to patronize Lowe’s only because of the whole Jimmie Johnson / Tony Stewart deal. It just makes me feel dirty to be in Lowe’s. ---
