Where can one find blood diamonds? I’ve asked at Jereds, Kay, Shane Company, and that one mall store that I can never remember the name, and none of them carry the things.

“Men, women, and possibly children died to bring you this hunk of carbon. Appreciate it lest their suffering be in vain!”

I don’t know, but my local market started carrying blood oranges. I refuse to shop there anymore.

My parents went to the Jewery store and all I got was this damn Menorah.

And an iTunes coupon code for a free song download of a bunch of first graders singing the Dreidel Song. You tried to avoid it but it downloaded itself when you went online to register your purchase in order to get the extended warranty coverage against theft/loss and now somehow it’s your Windows startup sound clip and it keeps reinstalling itself when you try to get rid of it with System Restore and

_Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,  
I made it out of clay  
Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,  
My dreidel I will play  
Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel_

ARRGH PLEASE MAKE IT STOP BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY!
