I didn't pay last night. I am blessed with very good friends. Hmm. Maybe I can con one of them into taking me to a Sothbey's auction.

Can I come too?

Maybe after she attends to the guy footing the bill.

Umm, dude, did you ever hear of the ignore button? If you don't like me, put me on your list. You, loser, are now on mine.

Thanks for playing.

Not Me, if only you actually were a hot woman, instead of an embittered little runt of a trollishly involuntarily celibate man, I might offer you some help in curing your social disorder by giving you a wild ride in the hay.

Only because it's been a long day and I need to get off the computer and pay attention to Dr. No on the UPN, that I spare you another full fledged flaming, other than to say the members here are obviously too smart for your antics as evidenced by objective criteria, like the esteemed ThurgreedMarshall’s disdain for you. You are to this board like the poor unwashed illiterate toothless bum who accosts me daily on the subway platform and as different as I am from that poor bastard, you likewise have nothing in common with us. Nothing. You might as well be from Mars.

As for the ignore, I know you see me, but I am utterly indifferent to your false protestations of ignore status. You can cover your eyes when I pop on your screen for all I care. Why would I possibly care? If you cancerous socks don’t kill this board first, we will eventually starve you out over the next few years and you can spend eternity in fu fu land.

Can't we all just get along?:hug:

Do I have to monitor this board every minute of every fucking day?

I leave for a few hours and it's all this nonsense. Again.

Cut it out or I will flip all the socks used this afternoon.

Here is a neat web site by someone who is working in Iraq. It is a series of pictures he has sent back. I was asked to post this so here you go.

And I second what e/o says. Don't piss us off. I'm very moody and not at all inclined to be nice if I have to play catchup for the past 2 days to help deal with this shit.

We're supposed to get paid? Damn. Better pick up on the donations then.

You both have my enduring affection and undying gratitude. What more could you want or even hope for?

Teddy Lehman, the linebacker whose favorite movie is The Big Lebowski, has won the Butkus Award, given annually to college football's top linebacker. Lavar Arrington recently refused a long term deal with the Redskins, meaning that Washington may want to add some depth at linebacker. All according to Plan . . .

Is it just me or does anyone else find it curious that all of the most Prolifically Putrid sock Pirates have Primary log-ons starting with the letter "P".........Plated........Penske (who I am not).....Patentgreedy.......Paigow......JRUSS.......Pretty Lil' Flower.

Irony? Me think not.

You are forgetting the "not" family, which seems to have a significant number of "problem" children.

No I wasn't. Perhaps, each Problem child has a Puppet master with P Primary log-on, no?

If so, mine is not Penske. FWIW. NTTAWWT.

Speaking of Ps, whatever happened to PatentPara?

I have it on some authority that PatentPara is now a member of the Not family.

Cingular sucks. They totally have fucked up the number transfer. Their website says number transfer will occur within a day, and the email confirming my order said that the phone (and accessories I ordered) would be delivered in 3-5 business days. Well, I ordered it on November 24. If you look at the date on this post, it says December 13. Math is not my biggest strength, but that seems like a lot more than 3-5 days. I called over a week ago, and they said that there was a problem with the transfer (uh, it would have been nice if they had contacted me to tell me that -- how the fuck am I supposed to know that's the problem, by calling a TV psychic??) and after getting transferred around a lot, I ended up with some technical department and was on hold (with someone intermittently coming on and asking me questions like for my zip code again, for what company I was switching from) for 45 min and then got disconnected. I called back, and whatever fuck-up customer service person I got wouldn't send me back to the technical people but told me that everything was fine and that my phone would come by Wednesday (the 10th). I called back today and was told that the phone is on back order. I was like, as of when, I ordered the thing Nov. 24? The woman was very nice, and looked, and said it showed as ordered on December 10th. What the fucking fuck is up with that??? Then she couldn't find the number for checking on online orders for number transfers, so I had to fuck around on their slow-loading website to find it. Oh, I almost forgot, the first time I called customer service today, I got disconnected. And, really, I have been being nice. So, then I call about the number transfer, and get another nice woman, who says she will change the due date for the number transfer to Dec. 14, which, of course, is a fucking joke because (a) I don't have the phone and probably won't get it for a while and (b) I ordered the number transfer Nov. 24. She said to call back in 30 min to make sure it had gone thru, and suggested that a local store might have the phone available immediately and I should try calling them. I actually considered that quite helpful; far more helpful than the people I talked to last week.

So, while waiting, instead of calling the cingular store I called my existing provider to find out why I suddenly have only like 100 min a month or something, and got a very nice lady who signed me up for a new plan that is much, much, much better for the same price and supposedly won't expire, found a promotion for a phone like I want for it to be free, said not to buy the car charger thing from her because it would be cheaper at the store, gave me a $50 credit, and competently described ways to fix it if I ended up going over my minutes and said that the phone I was getting was a little hard to program and I would probably end up calling in for help and that I should ask them to set up one-touch VM while I was on the phone.

Apparently, today is National Non-Sucky Customer Service Day. You'd think they'd publicize such a holiday -- it could be bigger than Christmas and New Years put together.

That is all. Now I will be calling Cingular to cancel.

my second cousin is VP for customer Service at cingular. Last night, after your P. board post, I called her and asked her to really fuck up your account. I should have called this AM and told her not to, but forgot. i'm really, really sorry!
