The Ultimate Gift for the Those Who Give a S**t.

No kidding folks, this is a real product,   from a real publisher,   that’s really sold on amazon.com , and the listing features real customer reviews. Frankly, I find the reviews more intriguing than the book. My favorite five-star review is headlined “Great gift for the poop lover.” I don’t know about you but [...]

Vinyl. Dirty by nature.

Where else can you hear the following phrase come out of an employees mouth (and yes, he’s talking business) “Well, our cat butt buffer is almost gone.” Our own dear Purchasing Manager.  Yep.  That’s right.  Sergio Bencivenga is back.  Again.  With another music diatribe.  Here goes.  Sergio, take it away: LISTEN UP!!
