Why on earth would a sales guy think yelling at me over the phone would change my mind? Usually my polite no doesn't turn into some combative conversation.

Second thread I have made the suggestion in, and the thought is holding valid thus far - the plot of Idiocracy is slowly becoming reality...

Also: BW's new avatar makes me say: "Yee-haw."

Heh. It is to amuse/annoy someone. When she gets online, that is...

*waits patiently*

Also, any tips on selling furniture for a good price? I have tons I could move, some worth over $100, but craigslist is flooded with furniture.

Do you have an auction house near you? Sometimes you can get good $$ from having an auction.

Hi Guys. I am trying not to yell at a developer today.

Soft-spoken Manchester accent. The specific region of Manchester would be discernible to people of the region however...

It says on the Wikipedia page that he comes from Manchester. I thought it was more of a Potteries type accent, but I am happy to be educated. I love me a good accent.

Hmm, I may not feel 42, but some bits of me sure look it.

You younger folks should hang on to your youthfulness while you have it. Gravity is relentless.

Crap. I turn 47 in just three months.

Depressed now.

:(

Pesto pain. We has it.

Is there such a thing? :)

Hearing Jeremy Renner ask Kelly Ripa if she's on crack - priceless :D

Awww.

Good lord, I was getting this constantly at year-end. Not from cold-callers but from established relationships. The calls ended abruptly when I advised that they 1. hadn't gotten the sale and were 2. fast on there way to losing the next one...or five.

Apparently sales goals preempt proven sales techniques, good manners and common sense. Very powerful, they are.

There's nothing to say that you can't help the process along. Perhaps with the use of weights or something if necessary...

:evil :D

There's a really, really weird story about a weightlifter which was widely circulated a while back. Just reading about that made me weep...

*is a wimp*

Make the idea go away!!!!

Only way I know to make story ideas go away is to write them...

Guys, I am shaking, literally shaking, because I am so pissed right now. If this bitch wasn't on the other side of the continent I'd slap her and shake her so hard her little tiny brain would fall out through her nose.

Oh do I hear ya; some days, so hard to resist...

Like the Roger Clemens Icy Hot thing? That made me cringe, and I don't even have those parts.

not here, I swear
I'm guessing that I thought of something different about this than you did. Maybe.

and I'm not saying

Personally, I was thinking that men would maybe want stuff to still be able to point up, instead of succumbing to gravity :D

I was actually thinking of an Indian guy, but...

*whimpers*

I really did NOT need to go Google that.

This is still the Cantina, right?

Just checking...
