Kay jewelers has been around long enough to know the marketplace. they likely know that there is a small niche market for this sort of thing. I don't imagine they invested a lot in inventory, etc, but they recognize that this might be yet another way to market jewelry to a niche clientele.

I was under the impression that they dumped all previous stock to load up on Jar Jar.

No dude. Larry, corndog, and someone else know way more about the women's jewelry market than a large scale disfributor.

sometimes advertising isn't about marketing that specific product.
hey, i'm not a jewelry-buying guy, but look at the creative options, guess it's not as stuffy as i though. maybe i'll make a stop at kay next time i'm milling around the mall trying to find xmas gifts before my orange julius runs out, etc, etc.

last day before a mini-break.
giving my students an amnesty day and letting them work on and pass in missing work with no penalty, today only.
so they're diligently working and I'm bored.

I always used to trap my teachers by acting like the stupid kid at the start of the school year with the whole "why do we have to do homework?" whining schtick.
Invariably they would say to prepare for the tests. Invariably I wouldn't do any homework until the first test, get 100, and challenge them with: "you said the only purpose for homework was test prep; I have just demonstrated that I am not in need of the prep; can you exempt me from homework for the rest of the year?"
Believe it or not, it worked sometimes. Other times they basically responded by bribing me to do homework, which I was also fine with. This one school I went to had funbucks they would award for good behaviour that you could redeem a few times during the year for school supplies type stuff. They were hard to get. I got my teacher to give me one every single day I did homework. I had a stack of them by the end of the year, and, not wanting any of the stuff in the "store," sold them to other students for hard cash.
Good times.

I've had a few students like that. On the one hand, I agree. On the other, what I sometimes tell them is that hw is to also teach them that deadlines mean something, and also that requiring them to do hw teaches them the need to balance all aspects of their life, manage their time, etc, as you have to find the time to do it. you can only have discussions like that with certain kids, though. most of them don't want to think of us as trying to prepare them for multiple aspects of life, they just see us as 'that asshat who gets excited about electrons'

I always used to tell my teachers "why do I have to do homework, I could be working and making money" and then I wouldn't do the homework. I would then get a 64 on my test, fail the mid term test and the final and then do some made up extra credit that often wasn't graded so that I would stay eligible for football, basketball and baseball.
Turns out I wasn't acting stupid, it was legit.

I did that all through highschool, minus the whiny stuff.
One teacher graded your notebook along with your test, but my first class with him we just agreed that if I got As on test he would just give me As for notebook grades, and it got me through 4 of his classes.
Luckily, only had one math teacher that actually graded homework. Made it through calc and physics without doing any homework...spent most of the time in calc drawing pictures with graphs on my graphing calculator. Or sleeping since it was first class in the morning. Usually sleeping, now that I think about it.

Oh man, my physics teacher would get super passionate about shit.
I remember being mildly interested in zero resistance absolute zero transmission, and he just went on and on and on with a giant smile on his face. Was weird.
