Thus, I was able to get vanilla ice cream in a cup even though they can't do that.

I don't suppose you've seen the tuna sandwich scene in the movie Five Easy Pieces have you?

Same sitch, but with added Jack Nicholson rage.

xpost!

Very cheerful spam I just got:

Aloha, my dear friend!

A bird needs wings, and I need YOU! We are two wings of one couple.As soon as we'll meet each other we will fly in the world of love! [URL redacted.]

As soon as we'll meat each other we'll become happy and our life will become valuable! Who am I and what do I like? I like the outdoors and to travel to new exciting places around the world when I can. I love riding my push bike or a walk along the park when I can. I am looking for a non smoker. I am looking for long term relationships. I want to spend my life with a right man.

And I want him to be happy with me. I want to become his rock. I want you to share with me all bad and good moments of your life! If you are interested I would love to hear from you.

Kiss-kiss

Never seen it. No rage involved in this case.

I'm sure it's a lovely job and all, but "Wookey Hole" takes me to a very very wrong place.

And they check to see if applicants can perform "standard tasks" ... might one of those interviewing be able to say, "she turned me into a newt!"?

That's fabulous, Allyson!

The AJC quotes another great press release today . It's Gorilla Glue's release in response to Zell Miller’s saying that Obama should have Gorilla Glue placed in his Oval Office chair and be told to "sit awhile" and stop "gallivanting."

Gorilla Glue President Peter Ragland said:

"Zell Miller’s recent comments have thrust our product and company into the limelight. While our products are known for being strong and tough, we certainly would not advocate attempting to glue the leader of the free world to his chair."

The release points out that Gorilla Glue, a family-owned company headquartered in Cincinnati, "represents just the type of growing small business that President Obama mentions as the job creators in our country. Gorilla Glue continues to: create new jobs, boast of no lay-offs, provide healthcare for all full-time employees and proudly make all products in the U.S.A."

Speaking of spam, my sister got a variant on the Nigerian scam email, except it was in the name of one of our cousins. I mean, like our cousin (a UK politician) was asking for help with moving large sums of monies involved in charitable donations. It had never occurred to me before that they were using real people, although I knew they used real organisations.

So if you get GREETINGS FROM THE UK HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT, we apologise. I'm pretty damned sure it's not really her, unless things have gone far south for her.

Never seen it. No rage involved in this case.

It's more like if Nicholson's character were an easygoing, midwestern, father with a history of couch-flipping.

In other words, incredibly cool.

Okay, not really.
