all you care to eat

I remember laughing with fraternity brother Brad Griffin in college when we passed a Shoney's and they had changed their sign regarding certain specials and "food bars" from "All you can eat" to "All you care to eat." We pondered how many backwoods folks out for a night on "the town" to Shoney's would pause and consider before fetching another plate, "Do I really care for another helping of deep fried meat and macaroni and cheese?"

I was reminded of this when I stopped in Walgreen's on the way home the other day and they had moved their discount DVD bin to the entrance of the store. I saw a Hairspray DVD set for only $3.99 and thought that was a bargain compared to what I paid for mine.

Hairspray DVD for $3

The sticker on the back clarified things for me. These were used DVDs, probably ditched from a rental chain somewhere. Except they were not marked as "used" exactly...

Previously "Enjoyed" DVD . Previously "Enjoyed" DVD

...rather "previously enjoyed."
