Eggs hit $5 a dozen here in Nebraska a few weeks ago. Now they are at $3.75 almost everywhere you look.

I realize that on a percentage basis the jump in egg prices was a lot, but in reality how much of your monthly budget was effected by egg prices?

When we build a new house, I'm smuggling in some Turdmaster 5000 toilets from Mexico. They're illegal here because they use so much water. But, as their name implies, they can handle a TYPHOON CLASS turd.

One can no longer by the copper green or copper brown wood preservative in California. What’s more, the only oil base paint you can buy is oil base primer. Good thing, as it is supposed to be what’s needed for pressure treated wood.
