Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's that day of the year when ThinkGeek comes out with amazing new products:

PLAYMOBIL(TM) Apple Store Playset

Awesome Mini Apple Store Tugs at Your Wallet

Stylish technology nuggets made by Apple... we just can't seem to get enough. From iPod, to MacBook, to iPhone, to iPad. Even if we laugh our way through the announcement, thinking we'll "never buy an overgrown iPhone"... it happens again.

So when we spotted this amazing Apple Store Playset from PLAYMOBIL™ we were admittedly in a bit of a conundrum. On the one hand, it's a product designed for children much younger than ourselves. On the other hand, it's a tiny representation of the store which sells us all the shiny Apple goodies we can't resist. Then we noticed that the PLAYMOBIL™ iStore includes amazingly tiny iPhones, Macbooks, and iPads. Our resolve began to waver. A quick peek at the miniature Genius Bar and we were feeling a bit woozy. Then we saw the tiny Steve Jobs presenting in the Keynote Theater on the top floor and that was it. Our wallets popped out faster than you can say Jonathan Ive and we plunked down whatever money was needed to own this amazing playset.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh god, the perfect gift for my husband.

I am having a bad day hangover from work last night, when I spent an hour dealing with someone who wanted "digital microfilm." And got mad at me because I cannot magically turn 91 reels of microfilm into a .pdf.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Argh. So frustrated. Just got off chat support for two hours. And my issue isn't resolved. They've escalated me to Tier 2 tech support, who will call me in 2 or 3 days. Not on, people.

They disconnected from me once, and the replacement person never spoke to me beyond the initial macro. Then fortune gave me the original person back, so we picked it up, but they tried probably three times during it to terminate the chat. Which would be fine if I weren't in the middle of following your instructions, which did not result in a corrected program! I know it's a long and aggravating call, but it is for me too, and I paid hundreds of dollars for your product. It damn well better work.
