Shop Till Eggs, Diapers, Toothpaste Drop
By JOHN TIERNEY


WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 — It looks like a 7-Eleven in a box.

Early this morning, as the restaurants and clubs were shutting down in the
Adams Morgan neighborhood here, a young waiter named Rick Roman joined a
crowd gawking at the new attraction on the sidewalk: an 18-foot-wide vending

That is just so awesome.  It's too bad it's so ugly.  I wish companies would
realize that no, you do not have to make things look like a building.  No,
you do not need frilly edges.  Lace went out in the late 1800's.  MAKE IT
LOOK LIKE A HUGE MONOLITHIC CUBE THAT GIVES OUT MILKS AND A YOGURT AND THAT
IS OKAY!  IT IS OKAY TO HAVE FUTURE!!
