Airing of Grievances: Pompous and Superfluous Bluetoothery
Pompous and Superfluous Bluetoothery (PSB) is a blight on our society that can be found virtually everywhere—at the bar, in restaurants, or even while shopping at the grocery store. But do not panic! PSB is easily avoidable and minimally contagious.
What is PSB, you ask? The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders defines PSB as “the act of wearing a Bluetooth headset unnecessarily when one is not planning on having a telephone conversation, particularly when one is amongst peers or when the functionality of said headset is eliminated by the wearer’s noisy environment (as in a bar or nightclub).”
Symptoms of PSB include looking like a tool/cyborg/jackass, an inflated sense of self-worth, cockiness, and, ironically, not receiving any phone calls at all because you are a douche.
You can protect yourself from PSB by removing your Bluetooth headset from your ear as soon as you finish your telephone conversation, and by leaving your headset at home when you go out to the club.
It should be noted that wearing a Bluetooth headset, despite the obvious functionality, does not make you look cool, rich or important. Today, Bluetooth headsets are a relatively cheap piece of consumer electronics and should not, under any circumstances, be considered to be or a fashion accessory or an item of “bling.”

On the downside, the recent failure of much of the California citrus crop has made these pocket-size citruses skyrocket in price lately. If you see me standing on an offramp next to I-5, you’ll know that my Cutie addiction has finally made me a broken man.
Swanson’s also repairs all types of leather goods, including luggage, purses, and wallets. They’ll even give your shoes a professional shine job for about $3.50 (half what you’d spend for a lesser job at, say, Nordstrom), and give you advice on keeping your new kicks in the best shape possible.
Just type the name of the food in question into the search box to get an extensive list of nutrition facts. You’ll find just about everything in NutritionData.com’s database, including full nutritional data for many fast food products, if that’s your thing (of course, if you’re really interested in a healthy diet, you’re probably not eating much fast food anyway, but I digress).
