I think the old Sears catalog is out of use, but they may still have something

like it online. I guess there's always beer and bottled water.

The sears catalogue is out of use by the devotees, I guess, so we'll drink the

bottle water and use the beer in the lota? Get that sparkling clean fresh

feeling

when finished?

For the benefit of our non-US devotees, it should probably be explained that

before

the era of flush toilets, outhouses were in widespread use in the US. Inside

every

outhouse was an old Sears catalog, from which pages would be ripped out and

used

for toilet paper as needed. The author of the original article is making a

clever

reference to the fact that many cities may experience sewage problems when the

computers attempt to roll over to the year 2000.

Jeez, now with no Y2K computers compounded by no Sears Catalogs, surely

Western civilization must be on the verge of extinction. What a stinking mess!
