    Apparently, you're not one of the ones who get it done.

    They do industrial supply, and do it in large quantities.
    Need a drill press? Grainger is a good place to look.
    Need a couple of months worth of cleaning supplies for the office so you don't have to keep going to Home Depot? Grainger probably has them in its catalogue.
    Need 10 cases of safety vests for your construction crew? Go see Grainger.
    That sort of thing. The Grainger catalogue is a fascinating publication.

    I'm not sure why, but the FB algorithm was showing me Grainger sales ads for a couple months. If you want to buy a dozen water drinking fountains, they're your folks.

    I've complained before, and I'm sure I'll complain again, but what the fuck is the point of the Liberty Mutual commercial where the dude has the recurring dream of being a balloon in a Macy's style parade?

    Is it supposed to be a commentary on the character? (That I don't give a fuck about.) Is it supposed to be about impending disaster, requiring the need for insurance? Is it supposed to be an attempt at humor? I honestly don't know.

    As I've written before, Liberty Mutual ads have gotten so bad, it's fascinating in how purely shitty they are.

    Interesting how “Let’s not screw existing policyholders with outrageous increases even with no claims so they won’t jump ship,” never emerges as a strategy.

    Liberty Mutual commercial with the wax figure is just plain creepy. The guy is creepy enough and then his reaction and the melting wax figure only makes it worse.

    I want to take the ninja star out of Butters' eye and slam it in that dude's eye.

    What even is this weird commercial for treatment for some condition where you can’t lay your hand flat? Everyone on there sounds like they are going to use their deformed claws to pummel the doctor if he suggests surgery.
