You rock, Irv.

If you keep this pace up, you'll probably ruin 30 by the time it's over.

Bless your little heart...

Isn't that southern for "Please do!"?

That's the nice definition of it. It can mean "Oh, that's exactly what I want, thank you!"

"It's cold out. Hot tea?" "Oh, bless your heart! Thank you!"

But it's not usually used that way, it's more often used in it's less benign form, which is a bit of a genteel insult. It is used to imply that the subject of the conversation is to be pitied.

"Billy Rae thinks that beehive hairdo is the height of fashion, bless her heart."

(or, after a massive screw up) "he tried, bless his heart."

Or, in the usage here in this thread, it basically means "you poor, pathetic little thing."

(Cliff Eberhardt tells a story about getting blessed for telling a lady at the shrine in Tupelo that "...us Yankees lurv Elvis, but we know he's dead...")

See, a southern Elvis fan, by saying "Bless your heart" to that would translate as "This poor dumb Yankee thinks Elvis is dead. How funny."

It is said with a pitying look and a sad shake of the head.

It is definately a southernism. It's a way for southern women to be snarky without being blatantly rude. I said it privately on here and then had to expain what the slang mean, since we are a rather international crew. Hilarity ensued. Which is why I now think it's so funny.

Fuck her with a frozen shaft of urine from a jetliner toilet.

I am so stealing this, although I cannot envision a situation in which I could feasably speak it out loud, which breaks my heart.

But I'll be saying it on the inside, oh yesssss......

ICBM?

No, he said frozen urine, not icy BM.

[dalesys]

No, he said frozen urine, not icy BM.

... a frigid "You're in" isn't anything to celebrate ...

I don't know how you can grow to be an old lady with grandchildren without finding out that Christmas is about being with your family, not shiny new toys. Of course, shiny new toys are awesome, but being with your family is more important.

Unfortunately I need to bump this one because when I see shit like I saw today, I can see where Crazy Laptop Lady is coming from.

So it's quarter to 7 in the morning, 15 minutes before we open, and I see the opening service desk lady going around picking out stuff. Stuff that was either on our doorbuster ad this morning or just on sale.

Stuff that then went behind the service desk for her to purchase later on her break. Assuming she isn't brazen and/or stupid enough to ring up the stuff herself. This she did while punched in, on the clock, on company time. And the front end manager okay'ed this.

Normal procedure for these sales is employees can only do their shopping on their break, and if we're out of something an employee wants they can get a rain check, which may or may not be available to customers.

Let's just say if I tried to spirit a pair of lucky rocketship underpants behind the service desk to purchase later, on sale, on company time, I'd be making a lateral move to customer post haste.

Cripes, Irv.

That would inspire me to write a quick little "letter to the editor" of the local paper, if I saw that.

^-.-^

[McGoddess09]

Irv, you should be ashamed of yourself, squirreling away those laptops like you do. Come hide at my place!

This made my morning.

Elvis is not dead; he just went home.
