Delay
I’ve got a million billion things to do so the column this week will be a little late. That’s a lie, actually. I really only have like three or four things to do. But to me that’s a lot of things and I feel not unlike a juggler. I’ll probably bang something out tomorrow night — hopefully the top 10 movies thing — but I’m not making any promises. I’m juggling!
But to make this post have value: for those Canadians who have been wondering why the fuck Cottonelle is changing its name to Cashmere all of the sudden, this link actually explains it. You have no idea how much of a relief it is to finally know this, because I was so incredibly confused by the brand change. So incredibly confused.
As an added bonus, the post also explains why all the Radio Shacks in the country spontaneously disappeared overnight this summer. I still don’t understand why I was the only one I know who took that badly. It was like losing a friend. A friend you only ever saw at the mall. A friend who would sell you things for a ridiculous mark-up and then have the audacity to ask for your phone number afterwards. So kind of a douchebag friend, really. But still a friend.
More later. I promise.

I continue to be confused as to why RadioShack changed all of a sudden. I don’t like sudden change. Hell, I don’t like change at all. So now they can’t even change back, ’cause then I won’t like that.
I think we can all agree that Cashmere is a stupid name for anything that isn’t made of Cashmere. It makes no sense!
Don’t worry, JW, they are not changing back. Instead Radio Shack is now a separate brand, having only 9 locations in Canada. They will grow, though, eventually igniting a great mall civil war that will allow me, for at least a brief while, TWO places to go in every mall where I can look at the cool remote control cars and boats. And then leave without buying anything.
