Alright, so tell me what you fellows think:

My bf's bday is coming up.

I got him a nice engraved flask set (flask, cig/business card holder, and funnel).

I am getting him booze for said flask.

I bought sexy underwear to wear for him throughout the day.

I will cook him yummy foods.

I will give him blowjobs whenever he wants throughout the day. Just say the word and i'm on my knees.

S'okay?

I kinda feel like a chump for doing the right thing.

I got the planet of the apes blu-ray set but Fox chose to use weird packaging which resulted in some discs being scratched. Fox Home Entertainment was also extra sloppy as some sets were missing discs and others included duplicates.

Anyway I ordered from amazon. I tried 3 times for a clean set. First time got duplicate movies. Next 2 times got scratched discs.

Today I the got email that amazon had processed the returns refunding my purchase price. The thing is they sent me two separate emails that they charged back my card an extra time.

I called amazon immediately to notify them of the error and things were settled.

Just wondering if they would of caught on if I didn't call them...

It's probably the right thing to do.

We told a restaurant that they'd forgotten one of our meals the other day. Then today at costco i'm certain i handed over 3 20s and the cashier was certain it was 4.

Probably evened things out a bit :)

What's really ubersad is that I knew Eomer's sword was Guthwine, and couldn't remember Theoden's swords' name. Thus "Sword of Rohan".

Only Eomers sword is mentioned by name in the books if I recall correctly, for it is the sword offered to Theoden after Sarumans spell is broken. "Guthwine for the Mark! Anduril for the West!"

I'm not sure where the name Herugrim came from, but it has been about six months since I read the books.

I'm tainted by Donaldson. "Grim" will forever be something intolerably poisonous. Although, since I haven't read that in over a year it probably means "happy funtimes".

eddie van helsing: After all, I'm an asshole myself. It would be somewhat hypocritical of me to complain about somebody else's shitty personality.

But you at least admit it.

Anyway, anyone got any thoughts on my question up there? ^^^

bignasty: and that is the big if right there

I think he is. I think there are a fair number of people who have made money from the crumbs he throws here.

pass the bacon: So it seems but I'm the type of person who goes by pesonality.
You could be the most successful person in the history of the universe but if your personality sucks, I don't really care what you have to say.

He does make good points occasionally but his cutesy 'sip of merlot' bullshit just bugs the shit outta me.


Oh, I know what you mean. I'm not entirely that way but I won't put up with working with a shithead who's good unless absolutely necessary.

See The No-Asshole Rule on Amazon. Great book about the assholes in business and how much damage they do.



pass the bacon: Oh but I think he cares very deeply how others think of him.
If he didn't he wouldn't have so many meltdowns.


Very much so. He's insecure on top of everything else.

*shrug*

Well, none of us is perfect. He just happens to be a very special kind of imperfect! :-)

Oddly i got an email from it telling me it couldn't sync up the user database with the dreamhost machine (which used to run the wiki).

I'm not sure, but i think that means our database is still up an ticking at dreamhost.

I see some unique marketing opportunities here, although not to a very large audience. In fact, quite minuscule.

Officially:

One of our distribution switches failed about 30 minutes ago causing routes for some servers to drop out of the routing tables. The switch has been failed over to a backup and all servers should again be reachable.

Just for making me laugh so hard this morning, I'll tell you.

Way back in the day, when I first met cranky, I found out he was a Sci-Fi fan and old-school computer hack. I told him to read Snow Crash. I even remember it well, because it was in the early days of Amazon allowing you to sample read a book online. We were killing tim
