Editor’s note: Also, guys, this weekend is a sales tax holiday in Virginia. School supplies under $20 and clothing/footwear under $100 are eligible. The list of eligible clothing is pretty bizarre–a sampling: neckties, rubber pants, insoles, fur coats, children & adult diapers, lingerie, choir/altar clothing, and corset laces.

Get more information over at the Department of Taxation.
