Mmmmm, meat.
Like bacon.
BLTs.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm. |

This post reminded me of this song which I used to own on the vinyl "Sesame Street Disco" but have since lost.
I'm happy to see that they've reissued the song on "Hot! Hot! Hot! Dance songs." I wonder if it's on iTunes.
Cookie Monster: [Oh, this music make me so sad.]
Ernie: [How can it make you sad, Cookie Monster?]
Cookie Monster: [Oh, because me try to get with it and hustle down to disco for good time, but it all go bad.]
Bert: [Aw, c'mon, how bad could it be?]
Cookie Monster: [Bert, you sit. Me tell you whole true story...]
Background Girls: Where's my cookie?
Help me find my cookie
Please?
Where's my cookie?
Help me find my cookie
Please?
Where's my cookie?
Help me find my cookie
Please?
Cookie Monster: The lights were shining
The night was fine
And me was having a real great time
Then me got careless
Me don't know how
But me had something me can't find now!

Ebay Etiquette

I've never had a seller not understand my (capital P) Policy. I think it's because I use the word "policy" -- I sound official and important. Which I am. Very.

No, they're not asking for my feedback before I receive the item, they just want to make sure they have the last word. Here's what their e-mail said:
"We will leave feedback after the auction transaction has been completed,
that is, after you the buyer have received the auction item and feedback
for us has been left indicating a successful end to the transaction. Please
contact us if there are any problems or concerns."
I guess in their book, my leaving positive feedback for them is part of my job as buyer. Which is, of course, passive-aggressive and completely BOGUS.
Obviously, this is still bugging me, and I am still cranky. I want to say something to them, but I don't want to say it until they've shipped my item.

To make Ty happy, you could add "am," as in "You are much prettier than I am." Which is a true statement from my perspective as much as it is from anyone's. |

What if you put it in your sig line?

Wait just a second, my grammar gets the third degree, but the cookie monster gets a pass? This is fucked up.

Anyone from Sesame Street gets a pass. Even Big Bird, of whom I am not too fond. That's a universal truth. I am surprised that you are not aware of it.
In my book, Spongebob and all the residents of Bikini Bottom also get a pass. |

Do they really live in Bikini Bottom? Is it radioactive there? Or just sparkly? Or warm?
What's your problem with Big Bird?

Give the guy a break. He lost his cookie at the disco for christsakes. He has much bigger problems than the proper use of personal pronouns.

I think you have to watch the show to fully appreciate Bikini Bottom. It's just like any other town under the sea, except it has some unusual residents and lots of wacky things go on there.
Big Bird is ok, but not much personality. Bert, Grover and Cookie Monster -- they are brimming with personality. Elmo I can occasionally tolerate, as well as Ernie, but they don't have much personality either. |

It seemed to me that Snuffalupagus should have been the one that everyone knew about and Big Bird should have been the figment of the imagination. I <3 Snuffy, and it made me sad that no one believed he exists.
My trainer likes to put "ah ah ahs" after counting every lap that we do around the gym.

A crab eating crab may well be an accurate potrait of the harsh life under the seas. But for a cartoon to pretty up this cannabilism to fictionalize a restaurant where a Mr. Crab is serving crab patties to the neighbors, is I think a line being crossed.

In my ebay world, most days this email would lead to a stalement - to hell with them, no feedback. If I'm mildly cranky (Okay, maybe this is the one that really happens most days), they get an email saying I view it as proper to leave feedback when the transaction is complete, and so expect them to leave it upon payment, AND, if they did not, I would ding them with a "neutral" and say, generally fine, but seller refused to leave feedback after payment. On a really cranky day, this would get them bad feedback.
I both buy and sell on ebay, and have only left bad feedback a half dozen times, but half of them are for this. Drives me batty. There should be a choice to stab them through the internet. |
