What is the term for marking up a "regular" price in order to advertise a false "sale"?
I have found a website advertising a book as "33% off" for $19.97. The publisher's website lists the suggested retail price as $19.97. Is this illegal? Is there a special marketing word for this unscrupulous practice?
5 AnswersOther - Advertising & Marketing1 decade agoIs "Man of La Mancha" playing anywhere in or near San Antonio?
I have read "El Ingenioso Hidalgo, Don Quijote de la Mancha" in the original Castellian. I have seen the Peter O'Toole and Sofia Loren screen version. I saw the play in Melbourne, FL. I saw the John Lithgow version on TV (and wish it was available on DVD). I would love to take my family to see the play here in San Antonio.
2 AnswersTheater & Acting1 decade agoWhat does "penguin" mean in teenspeak in San Antonio?
The context is "U said penguin kind of happen how did it kind of happen". I am the concerned parent of a 14-year-old girl, and am hoping it does not mean the same as "pigeon".
According to http://www.thesource4ym.com/teenlingo/index.asp?Le... "pigeon 1. an ugly girl. "Quit mackin’ on those pigeons over there." 2. a girl who goes with all the guys, whether or not she has a boyfriend, usually just for sexual favors."
I find both contexts distressing, but am largely worried about the second.
5 AnswersAdolescent2 decades agoIs it dangerous to sleep with earplugs in?
I work rotating shifts, and am currently having difficulties sleeping during the day. I wake very easily, even if I use OTC sleep aids. I have darkened my windows to the point the light doesn't bother me, but normal daytime noises are waking me.

2 AnswersBooks & Authors2 decades agoWhere should I take my wife for our first wedding anniversary dinner?
I am considering Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I am willing to spend $50-100 for the overall dining experience. Historically, our special occasion restaurant has been Benihana, if that gives you a clue about the level of class and atmosphere I want.
9 AnswersSan Antonio2 decades agoIs Ruth's Chris steakhouse the best in San Antonio?
Celebrating 1st anniversary w/new wifeepoo. 3rd marriage for each. Want class, atmosphere. Willing to spend up to $100 for two for whole evening. Ruth's Chris has reputation, but I know little. Also would appreciate "dress code" tips. Can go as formal as 3-piece suit, but prefer "business casual". http://www.ruthschris.com/ not very helpful.
