    Once they sell the last of their supplies, the sale's over.

    Yes, I understood the intent of the phrase, it's just that as the son of an English teacher I just can't let such awkward phrasing stand!

    I knew I should have bolded the word "last."

    "Until Supplies Last" sounds more proggy than "While Supplies Last."

    Ha, I didn't even notice the awkward wording. I thought you were worried that they were going belly-up.

    Eclectic (and weird) virtuoso whose albums cover an interesting range of territory? I'd say that fits the bill.

    Until supplies last - poor English, to most of us
    Buckethead - worth seeing, if only to piss off Jen
    15% off - chump change, to some primates
    Starting a thread about a sale without supplying a link - priceless
    We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
    It won't be visible through the air
    And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
