Hate to be a buzz kill... But it's time to start the annual ritual of back-to-school. We at FatWallet.com understand; you're having way too much fun pool hopping to even utter, let alone remember, words like schedule, syllabus or student housing. Chill — We're going multiple choice with a back-to-school to-do list, frequently updated special offers, and a hella Cash Back Sale.
Back-to-School To-Do List:
1. Draw up blueprint to kick butt space saving loft/splinter haven/place to hit head at 2:00 a.m.
2. Pick up toga from cleaner’s.

No, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of people on here who like Buy.com deals. Actually, a bunch of red is what you normally see when someone attempts to be very funny but instead is only very lame - as in the To-Do List.
Buy.com sells from empty shelves. They act as a middleman between you and the seller. They charge your credit card before the item ships then if the seller can't fulfill and cancels the order try getting your money back from Buy.com, it's a tough job I've seen it. Look on their site see if you can find a phone #

Text but you're a member of Fat Wallet and there's a thread with all the "hard to find internet retailer phone numbers" in it.
patternman said: Buy.com sells from empty shelves. They act as a middleman between you and the seller. They charge your credit card before the item shipsNot based on my experience. Maybe you're using too many Google Checkout accounts. That is the problem with GCO, I'm pretty sure they charge you when the order is placed.
I guess the red is coming from the people who were spammed to this thread.
Apparently there is some boycott of Buy.com going on? I don't know the reasons though. I've bought a ton of stuff from them over the years and will continue to. I support the boycotters though as it'll just leave more in stock for me.

Back to school sales in July? Have mercy on the wee ones

Yikes! Maybe the Back to School posts should be proofread - or are the errors intentional?
There is the udder/utter and "hella" misuse...
What does "kick butt space saving loft/splinter haven/place to hit head" mean??
No apostrophe needed in cleaners.
And since when is school necessary to secure social greatness?

"hella" is colloquial for "hell of" which is slang for "very much so"
"kick butt space saving loft/splinter haven/place to hit head" means a "rather welcome place to sleep after partying too much".
The apostrophe in cleaner's implies the possesive, not the plural. There is only one toga, therefore the cleaner is singular. The sentence is contracted from "I need to pick up the toga from the cleaner's establishment."
Item 5 was to achieve two goals, both supported by discounted purchases originating from FatWallet’s Back to School offers.
zeik said: What does "kick butt space saving loft/splinter haven/place to hit head" mean??Sounds like "need to draw up blueprint to kick butt", but what it should say is: Draw up blueprint to [a] kick butt space saving loft/splinter haven/place to hit head at 2:00 a.m.

At least it's the END of July. Staples started their $.01 sale right after 4th of July.
