I guess we haven't done a caption contest in a while. So I dropped by ready.gov for some lovely Public Domain silliness....
Speaking of silliness and zombies, I have it on good authority that, as of today, as opposed to as of Friday, according to the same good authority, JestBuy should have worked out that my broken laptop is broken [the learning curve there is a bit flat; some people need time to absorb multiple fields, like 1) drive broken, 2) M key missing, 3) UpArrow causes incessant beeping, and 4) sound doesn't work, and figure out that the number four, along with a missing if beneficial symptom from number three, equates exactly to the laptop being broken a fourth time], and that, according to the evidently useless fucking warranty I spent three hundred bucks on, they've got to give me a new one, since this instance is beyond the Three Strikes they arbitrarily allow themselves to grok that something doesn't work.
There should be more colours coming online in the next month. So, at the rate I tend to update things, we should have stuff in other colours in the next decade.
Twenty minutes later....
1. If you become infected by the TVirus, you can use the Health Spray as an antitoxin. 2. Or, you can walk away. 3. And become Doctor Giggles. Anyway: the story I'm getting is that, as of today, even the dumbest of all Jesters should have worked out this simple fucking concept. Let's hope so.
In fact, they should have figured it out even by now. Apparently, the entire thing should be worked out by eleven today. And it's now eleven fifteen. I'll call them in a minute.
First, since I'm talking about how much corporations tend to suck, let's talk about mine for a moment >:)
I keep adding all this stuff to Wasted, Inc. and then forgetting to mention it to anyone. So there's some news on that.
First--or, actually, most recently--we got the EvilBunnies in. I'm not sure they're actually supposed to be EvilBunnies, but that's what they turned out to be. There's something excrutiatingly disturbing about this creature. Naturally, Hunter is in the process of thinking up lots of neat things to do to the EvilBunny. Hopefully she'll get that figured out before they disappear again, since they're technically only available through Oviparous Bunny Day, which was actually two days ago. Don't ask me; I just run things around here.
So. There's that. Also, we're starting to get coloured shirts now. Finally. For all I personally care, being colourblind. But, if you hunt around the store a bit, you'll find a few things in yellow and pink now. Including another of Hunter's bright ideas:
Oh yeah: one more thing about the EvilBunny. So far, the only one I've got put together is the Uberzombie&Litch thing for SotLD.com, which is a lot like SiteoftheLivingDead.com and even SightoftheLivingDead.com, but with less letters to save me some typing. In, uh, most cases.
Anyway: given the sheer multitudes of people spoofing the Abercrombie&Fitch logo, I'd guess that no one's going to care much about this. That said, CP have this funny habit of killing anything which might potentially maybe figure out a way to consider becoming a lawsuit in some alternate universe. As a truly laughable example, some assloaf thinks he's got a copyright or trademark or deital ordination or something on the word CAUTION--particularly as it applies to clothes. Which is a bit of a shock to me, of course, given the number of oxfords I've got containing tags reading CAUTION: Dry Clean Only. I'm pretty sure the guy is just a litigious dicksuck. Just a hunch.
Due to that fact, and notwithstanding my ability to sue CP for being imbeciles, there's a chance that they'll put an end to the Uberzombie&Litch stuff before it really gets off the ground. Just a warning. Uh, in fact, CAUTION: Time Limtis May Apply.
Okay. Let's go find out whether JestBuy have developed the intelligence required to contrast Four to Three yet....
You're not going to believe this shit. So, instead of trying to get you to fall for it, I'll just upload it to JestBuy.com. As far as I'm concerned, this shit is out of my hands. I've got lawyers for putting up with criminals.
More later....
