Someone mentioned in one of these here comments sections (sorry, I can't find the original poster, but whomever you were, thanks!) that KB Toys was closing down a ton of stores. I wasn't skeptical at all given the sales climate and whatnot, but at the same time, I couldn't find any of this info on any news outlets. Then I realized, stuck-in-the-past idiot that I am, that I was searching for "Kay Bee." Doy. They switched to "KB Toys" years ago. Indeed, well over 300 stores are shutting down, and the liquidation is to commence immediately.
Definitely sucks for all the people working at these stores, and in general for toy lovers everywhere, and oh yeah, kids, but let's not let that sorrow blind us from our God-given right to collect on the perils of others. Here's a list of the soon-to-be-dead KB stores, organized by state. If you ain't down with watching a football game today, maybe you should head to KB and get some slashed-price crap. I think that's what I'll be doing.
If you end up joining in the exploitive fun, post your finds in the comments afterwards. Let's see what kind of steals are out there...

Atkins works great. Well, it seems to, have lost about 10 pounds in 2 weeks, but I don’t feel so healthy… Of course, I am an idiot who just glances over what you can and can’t eat, reads: 20 carbs max, no vegetables and lots of meat, and proceeds to eat just eggs ,fish, and yoghurt. Been feeling pretty unstable last few days, dizzyness, headaches. Probably also due to the lack of sleep and 5 hours long quake:excessive sessions. I’ve also seen an interesting documentary about atkins. According to the BBC, the high amount of protein the atkins diet contains drives off the hunger, and dieters actually just eat less and therefore lose weight. All you can eat is right, but not in the way one would expect.
