Nowadays when we go to the store we have come to expect to get ripped off. We see the "Buy one get one free" sales at Schnucks and realize that just last week the price for the same item was half of what it is now. CDs cost pennies to manufacture and $15 to buy. That's why I need to recommend that everyone does business with the Texaco Xpress Lube on Clayton Road near the Galleria Mall.

I brought my car in today to get the oil changed, since it has been about 4 months and they sent me a coupon in the mail. After looking at it for a minute, the mechanic came in and got me out of the waiting room, showed me that the oil was still both full and clean, and told me that changing the oil now would be a waste of money. He very easily could have just changed the oil, charged me $25, and I would have been none the wiser. In exchange for their honesty, I give them a free testimonial on one of the hottest sites on the web (at least if you're looking for Monkey Fashion Show-related material).

And while I'm recommending businesses, like Brian Lewis I heartily endorse WonTon King as the place to go for great Sesame Chicken, large goldfish in a tank, ducks hanging in the window, strange Asian music videos, and everything else you'd expect from a fine Chinese restaurant. It's on Olive in the "Chinese Restaurant District".

In summary:

-You should get your oil changed at Texaco Xpress Lube.
-You should eat at WonTon King.
-You should never listen to Dave Matthews Band.
