Not that I like ConEd, but compared to the rest of the world we pay very little for energy. We as a society do little about the enviroment if it means it will make us inconvienced or costs us more. Germany has taxed it citizens to subsidized solar cells and has become reduced its dependency on power plants by more then 25%. If we each did more then we wouldn't need to #%#$ when our power supply is effected.

Yeah, I do not get that "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" thing... why the long lines to buy one? You can buy canvas tote bags anywhere to carry groceries in if you want to not use plastic bags. People have been doing it for decades.

along the same lines as the "THANK YOU" bags, Anya Hindmarch's "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" craze hits again.

Funny how, if you use the "Thank You" plastic bags from a bodega all the time you are a cheap ghetto whore but if you buy a expensive 20 dollar Ironic "Thank YOU" tote once to show how cool you are then you are regarded as a fashionable hipster.

I saw someone once with a "Thank You" t-shirt. I really want it but I can't find it anywhere. Anyone have any ideas?

@JMH Yes, of course, thank you. Like my comment.

Doesn't "extemporaneous" mean "made WITHOUT much preparation"?

love the thank you totes, but 20 bucks? PLEASE.

OK, since we're talking cute/clever shirts, I'm going to risk your wrath by throwing an ad up in here. My friend Debbie and I (long-time New Yorkers who've raised four kids between us) recently launched a line of children's onesies and t-shirts called SATees: Big Words For Little Kids.

There's "dilatory" (tending to cause delay), "supine" (lying on the back), "itinerant" (wandering), "recondite" (difficult to understand), "extemporaneous" (made with much preparation), and lots more

Check it out, please:

oh wow. where can I get an I

con everyone? is that an admission of guilt?

I seriously considered getting a ConEveryone shirt from Time Matter Energy, but then I saw this anti-NYPD shirt they were offering. However, you can't top I [heart] NJ.

Umm... what's Con Ed gonna say? "Hello New York, we're good until July 25, then we're gonna fizz to brown for five days, then that's it, we're black, out, done, last ten seconds of the Sopranos. Make sure you charge your laptop batteries and get the hell outta town."

I like the tote bag.
