Bonfante Gardens should hire this guy to replace their existing marketing department. I mean, whoever dreamt up the “Bonfante is Excellenté” slogan really doesn’t deserve a job. The winning bid on this memorable auction was $43.27.

I spotted a garage sale with some computer equipment on a [...]
My potential race partner in the Amazing Race just picked up my half of everything needed for the application. It’s been a long journey in the making and I’m glad it’s over.
