No doubt about that. I think Tanqueray gin tastes too much like pine needles or something, but that Sapphire I truly love!

Received a package today from Gambler's Warehouse. I'm really liking the blackout kingdom and the Steampunk bandits!

That is your worst idea in recent times, i HATE it when people put a .com behind their names. QR codes take up space and is ugly. so NO to both.

Couldn't agree more. It does NOT need a QR code or a .com.

So, what you are saying is that sprouts has had worse ideas in the past?

And, what's a QR code?

This is a QR code. People put it on things so you can scan it with your cellphone using a QR scanning app and it will lead you to a website.

Adding a 3rd line with the website wouldn't be so terrible because somehow there's still people that can't figure it out. However, as Sher said it should not be needed... http://bit.ly/1tccMX2 :lol:

The thing that gets me going is when they insist on adding http:// before it or almost worse when speaking the website saying 'w....w....w....dot....', any properly setup site will allow redirects to work with just the domain name.

Sure, I'll get it tomorrow for you. :)

Edit:
I had a couple minutes so I just went a head and snapped a couple bad photos now. Looks like I grabbed one of the jewelry trays that need to be cleaned on accident. Sorry, very poor vision. I don't see so well. :oops:
The Red Brims do say Gamblers Warehouse and Playingcards.net down there.

Both are very nice, I like the wanted poster deck more. They're already on ebay, some fool has a starting bid for both of $82 with $6 shipping! His other decks are overpriced, he's on crack and whoever buys them are even more on crack!
