Wherein My Sexuality Is Challenged......Again

[Sapphire Silk]

Me: “Is there a PO box number?”
SC: “Bo-eses….box..eses…..”

Preeeeecious box-eses? The hobbits takes them from us?

Sorry, to me this was just too funny. I'm watching the Two Towers as I read/type this . . . the scene with the hobbits and Gollum in the Dead Marshes.

Damn GK. Do they ever not question your sexuality?

was about to post it....and somehow managed to close that entire tab, thus losing EVERYTHING.

Control - Shift - T is your friend. And yes, it brings the post data back too.

They Really Should Make One

Sure....sure it is......I’m terribly sorry though, could you hold a moment? I’m need to try figure out how to administer a road side sobriety test over the phone.

This might help (except for the sign language part).

Jester might be able to use this as well.

And yes, there is a restaurant equivalent to that question. To whit: "Will that be enough for me?/Will that fill me up?/Will that be too much for me?" Asked by people who have known me just long enough to sit their asses down, order drinks, and peruse our menu. Listen, kids, half the time I don't even know what will or won't satisfy the appetites of my good personal friends, and you and I don't even go back as far as the top of the hour.

Sadly, but somehow not surprisingly (am I that jaded?), this has been one of the most commonly asked stupid questions in my long and storied career in the food service industry.

My new job (at MEC, yay!!!) has me attempting to answer the equally baffling question, "will this (coat/sweater/pair of boots) keep me warm?". I ... don't know? Look, seriously people, I don't even know what will keep ME warm from day to day (hence the presence in my bike panniers of multiple extra layers), and I have absolutely NO idea of your personal thermostat range and comfort level, so I am not even going to TRY to guess. Not to mention we live in a city with notoriously unpredictable weather!

That's if they even listen to me instead of arguing anyway. Example: "What's the warmest coat??!" Okay, well, down gives probably the best insulation... try this one here. "But it's poofy! I don't want a silly looking poofy jacket!" OK, well, the thing is it's the trapped air that gives you the insulation factor, so it kind of can't not be bulky. There are some that are lighter weight because of the grade of the down, but they are all going to be fairly puffy. There's no such thing as a very thin, lightweight, non-bulky jacket that will keep you warm at -40 with just a t-shirt underneath. It cannot be done! (I canna change the laws of physics!!)

Dang...I was trying to finish reading all the new posts in the Sucky Customers forum and then drag my sorry ass to bed since it's 4 AM already (to be fair, I was working on my second job for quite a while after I got home from my first job)...and then I come across a new GK post. I think I've sufficiently laughed myself into exhaustion and can now fall asleep quickly...thanks GK!!

+Lighter fluid will keep you warm all the rest of your life...

My day is now fine. Nothing can harm me, my grin is like a shield of steel. Thanks GK, for suffering through this idiocy so we don't have to.

Please don’t do that. You’re going to give me flashbacks. I’d rather not end up with the world’s most embarrassing form of shellshock. Where I hit the floor screaming “It’s coming right for us!!” every time someone around me has a brain fart.

And the staff in the emergency room and the psych ward would wind up having one of those evertime they spoke to you. We'd lose you.

Oddly enough, neither Canada or the US is a barren third world country regardless of how winter in Alberta looks.

You really meant to type Saskatchewan didn't you?

[AccountingDrone]

I had to go change my pants again (Not because of that, you pervs) I always laugh so hard reading GK's posts, that I cease to laugh but emit a high pitched wheezing noise and wet my pants.

I get that reading Damn You Autocorrect sometimes ...

[Gravekeeper]

Wow. Just wow. I had all my commentary just about finished on this, and was about to post it....and somehow managed to close that entire tab, thus losing EVERYTHING.

I did that with an entire post once. Once. It was the first and last time. Now I compulsively hit ctrl + a and ctrl + c periodically. >.>

Of course, I realize this is all a moot point, as logic is probably as foreign to this guy as deodorant is to Jersey Shore clones.

Logic has not been part of this in a very, very long time.

There is also the very real OTHER possibility. That being that emergency personnel, much like the rest of us, can't resist free entertainment. And if it's a slow night and there's an especially amusing call, more than one unit might "happen" to show up. Just for shits and giggles.

I'm thinking it was this. There must have been 5 or 6 cops to start with plus he somehow netted *2* ambulances. They all looked quite entertained.

Hey, let's be honest here....that would make a great TITLE for a porno. "Two Meat Lovers." Hell, that would work for straight OR gay porn. Though admittedly not as well for all girl films.

It probably IS the title of a porno, but I'm not about to Google it. ;p

As for the brain farts, I might joke if it was once and a while, but its all the damn time. In a lot of cases you know from the second you hear their voice that this is going to be another slack jawed COD order. I have to remind myself, with alarming frequency lately, to try and be funny instead of just outright ranting.

It has been a particularly bad week in, around and on the way to and from work. So I'm still pretty frazzled at the moment and had to trim my more ranting ramblings. You guys will know the day I snap, because I'll make one huge 3 page post that's just "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-". -.-

Ottawa wants an apology. or else we WILL find you lol

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but oddly enough declaring your living room sovereign territory via a Facebook status update does not legally make you a nation. You may wish to retract your war declaration on Pizza Hut for crossing your borders.

I just updated my Facebook status declaring my bedroom as sovereign territory! That's right, be jealous!

Hey, me too! It's not foolproof but it sure has saved my bacon many times...(and you know how precious bacon is).
