Video Fun

We have an independent video shop (i.e., not Blockbuster or Hollywood Video) down the street from my house. They have a marquee board out front that you can see from the street. On one side they advertise monthly specials and that sort of thing. On the other side, they offer free rentals based on your name: "Free rental if your name is Tony" and that sort of thing.

Well, they've had a couple of good ones recently. About a month ago, they had this one:
"Free rental if your name is Luke or Leah".

Then, a couple of weeks ago it read:
"Free rental if your name is Bruce or Wayne".

I thought this was pretty funny, and I hope they continue the trend. I hope to see one like this soon:
"Free rental if your name is Reed or Richard".

Or maybe:
"Free rental if your name is Ben, Sue, or Johnny".

Local businesses are fantastic!

I am so screwed at this video store. Nobody ever makes a film about a guy named Derek.

Maybe 'Roddick' is close enough...?
