Where can I find drawstring/gymsack bags with team logos?

Where can I find drawstring/gymsack bags with team logos? I'm looking for some drawstring backpacks with team logos. Any team logo would suffice (NFL, NBA, MLB, FIFA). I'm not even completely sure what people refer to them as. The first time I saw one, the label that came to mind was 'drawstring.' Apparently Nike refers to them as 'gymsacks.' Whatever they're called, it is significantly hard to find them with team logos.

Good Dog! Silly Woman!

Why do dog shows make me cry? This is so stupid, but I am wondering if I am just a sappy freak or if this happens to other people as well.

As I was flipping through the channels tonight, I happened upon a dog show. I watched for about 10 minutes, and as the winners were named, I started to laugh and get seriously teary. The descriptions of the dogs get to me ("...lhasas were originally bred for rat-catching and indoor defense in Tibetian temples...") What is with this?!

I am not particularly overemotional, or known for crying at movies or during sad shows. I am not really thinking the dogs are being mistreated or that the show is inherently cruel, but I cannot figure out why a dog show would make me cry.

Anyone else have this kind of problem? Maybe not with dog shows? Am I just a wacko?

How to Fire Someone?

Any advice on the least dehumanizing way to fire someone? I'm not so much worried about the mechanics of when to do it as how. What would you want to hear from your boss if you were let go tomorrow that wasn't merely blowing smoke up your posterior?
