We recently purchased a Bob Revolution Dualie stroller (yeah I know fun stuff right), from Pish Posh Baby in New Jersey. Along with this behemoth of a stroller (which we really love) we also ordered some other needed accessories. For instance we needed the attachments for an infant carrier since this new stroller is to tote around our 2yr old and the new baby.
Well we got the stroller but no accessories. We called (and called - and called since they aren’t open on Saturdays) and finally got through a week after the initial order receipt, and were told they had just forgotten. Oh. Well I forget stuff sometime, just usually not on orders that end in so many zeros. When I saw the UPS slip for 5lbs online I knew something was a miss since one of the products was easily 3x that weight alone. We called to confirm and were told everything was coming.
I assume you know how this story goes…we were missing the big piece in the package we received today. After another 45 minutes of phone time we found out they were out of stock in that item as of last week (a full two weeks after our initial order). Curious. I love the products - just not the retailer.
So the story has been preading about the 88 yearl old, former German pilot who shot down his favorite author during World War II.
“I am shocked and sorry,” the ex-Luftwaffe pilot said yesterday. “Who knows what other great books he would have gone on to write?”
Really? What about the other 27 pilots, maybe they could have cured cancer or lived to spend another day with their families. I wonder what children they would have gone on to father, or how many lives they would have touched. The fact that the victim was an author seems so arbitrary against a backdrop of 72 million people who lost their lives in that war. There’s no romance in it, if anything it’s an extremely selfish persective from a killer.
So by now you’ve probably seen the videos and read the stories about Guitar Hero 3’s monster goal - Dragonforce’s “Through The Fire And Flames”. Well forget the kids hardware-karoke versions, you need to watch the real deal. Forget Guitar Hero, I want Hair Crimmper Hero. These guys would so own at that game.
“The term “Shotgun” refers to the front passenger seat of an automobile. “Calling Shotgun” is the act of claiming the position of Shotgun for one’s self. As this position is the most coveted of all positions when riding in a car, the following list of rules has been created to ensure that Shotgun can be acquired in a fair and equitable manner by any passenger of an automobile.”
NASCAR - Jimmie Johnson wins championship with one of the most severely and most often punished teams in the series
Patriots - On the road to a lossless season with more and more cheating and rule breaking coming to light
BALCO - Marion Jones punished and Bonds indicted, albeit for 2003 offenses
Looks like cheaters are finding ways to win. And where there’s a win, there’s lots of cash.
Best comment spam ever. For the record, extortion/blackmail is not the way to my commenting heart folks.
hello , my name is Richard and I know you get a lot of spammy comments , I can help you with this problem . I know a lot of spammers and I will ask them not to post on your site. It will reduce the volume of spam by 30-50% .In return Id like to ask you to put a link to my site on the index page of your site. The link will be small and your visitors will hardly notice it , its just done for higher rankings in search engines.
Hey gang, I’ve finally decided to do everyone a favor and get out of your way. I know, it’s been a sweet ride with me at the helm, sooo many great things have happened in PC-land. But alas, I see the writing on the wall, and the wall says narcissistic, middle-aged, white guys living in the past should probably step aside. So with a heavy heart I bid farewell.
Oh and one more thing (eat that Steve jobs), on my way out…I’m a whore. Well not just me, more like we’re whores. The olde guard hack tech journalists. Here’s a secret, we make money from advertisers and find it’s best not to upset the apple-cart and call a spade a spade. So as the door hits me on the way out I just want to say what I should have said from day one, Vista sucks. It really, really sucks. It’s like taking the worst of windows and running through a glossy-floor, drop shadowing crap-ifier. There, I said it. Now that it has much less impact on my financial well-being. I’m a hero to journalists everywhere, those who were too scared to speak the truth, I’ll take the leap and do my job.
Well I’m off to some wacky, hip startup, I sure hope their business model isn’t ad-based or I’m gonna be…well I guess I’ll just keep my mouth shut and be just fine. Once a whore…
I have a handful of posts that get comment spam worse than others, or at least they receive comments that get past akismet. Got one today that’s pretty funny…
Hello! Help solve the problem.
Very often try to enter the site, but says that the password is not correct.
Regrettably use of remembering. Give like to be?
Thank you!
I’m guessing the use(s) of Vanilla Fudge’s cover of You Keep Me Hanging On in the Sopranos Finale are why it’s so popular on iTunes this week. Funny how that works…hope Carmine and the boys get their due.
