I received a door flyer today for a local fried chicken place.

In the fine print at the bottom of each coupon were the words "No Purchase Necessary."

WTF? It's not a contest, it's a coupon. And furthermore, as none of the items were so heavily discounted as to be completely free, purchase IS in fact necessary.

And the expiration date? "Good for one week after receipt, 2008."

It's like the people who work at fast food places are morons, or something.

"No burger, but I'd like a large fries and regular coke, thanks"

"Would you like any fries or drinks with that?"

Oh BTW

I saw Condi Rice on TV last night, and I thought she looked noticably darker than I remembered.
Maybe it was a different lighting/background/TV set. Maybe I'm just wrong.

Has anyone else noticed any change with her? Is this some kind of political shennanigans?

Relationships are more work than my actual work.

But rum makes everything seem alright.

you'd totally trip out if you went to use it and the clerk said, "I'm sorry, this is expired. I remember putting that on your door 9 days ago. I didn't ring the doorbell because you were breastfeeding, but I remember it well."

you'd trip balls, I'm telling you.

Clodfobble · 09-08-2008, 03:31 PM

I would, and then I'd call him a damn liar, because let me tell you, all of those fuckers always ring the doorbell right during naptime.

lookout123 · 09-08-2008, 03:39 PM

trust me i know. the fuckers from schwan's and i have been going rounds for the last few months. we don't even order from them anymore because he'll just stand there and ring and ring and ring.

if i wasn't rocking a baby, i'd get up and kick his ass. maybe i should let lil lookout do it.

Well, I would certainly prefer cloudscape or kaleidoscope to colonoscopy, any day of the week!

Could you imagine a large dog with the personality of a Chihuahua? Imagine it still had the yapping bark too.

Does Link Mailing Systems deliberately keep customers on hold for Customer Services? So that only the people with a real problem bother to hang on?

I swear, I am never less than 10 minutes on hold when I call them.
Names and shamed and serves them right.
