I’m looking for one generic brand to disappear, the sooner the better: fortune-tellers.
11. Boy Scouts of America
CC
11. Sears?
If Nook folds, I cannot see B&N sticking around.
WNBA?
What will NBC fill their sports programming with then?
The WNBA? I’m shocked! Who doesn’t want to see giant lesbians? It actually lasted longer than I thought it would..
Losing Olympus is sad...
My first 35mm SLR was an Olympus OM-2n, the camera was tiny compared to most other SLRs, and it had a metering system that was absolutely DEAD-ON. I don’t remember ever taking a bad photo with that camera.
Of course, I haven’t seen a 35mm camera for sale in quite some time, although there are still a few out there.

I hope Barnes & Noble doesn’t fold. I would hate to see the demise of bookstores.
I live in a large metropolitan area, and the nearest non-B & N store that sells new books is 40 miles away. And not too long ago, there were two Borders stores within walking distance of my home.
My first good camera was an Olympus ECR a small 35mm rangefinder.
My first camera of any kind was a green plastic box camera given to us by American Motors because Daddy bought a Rambler. I have no idea why they gave them away as it was several months after he bought the car.
I too had an OM-2. Also several OM-1s.
“I hope Barnes & Noble doesn’t fold. I would hate to see the demise of bookstores.”
I agree, although I really believe management wants them to. I go to the one near my house every week, and I can’t believe the number of times I have heard one of their people say to a customer, “sorry, that is only available on line.”
It’s almost as if they are really saying, ‘stop wasting your time time coming here and only shop online.’
If you shop around, you can get an OM-2 film camera on the Internet for under a hundred bucks.
If Volvo disappears, what will liberals drive?
Subaru.
11. The USA.
Certanly not SAAB - that’s dead, too.
RE: If Volvo disappears, what will liberals drive?
Of course you do know that Volvo is now owned by a chinese automobile company — Geely Automobile.
Mitusbishi makes very solid vehicles. My Kenyan president (who was raised 3 doors down from Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.) says that they were just about the only cars that could survive the roads in Kenya.
Mine is 18 years old, and nary a squeak or rattle.
Whew... I guess the Lingerie Football League is good for another year!!!!!!!!
