Hyphenated names are bullshit.

hyphenated names are a topic of debate but.....when they are unusual and have 7 syllables....... she is in charge of trophies and had to shorten their last names because there wasn't room on the plaques..... and yet she's still bitching......

About a hundred years ago I was in line at the (VHS!) movie store, when a guy comes in, lays the movie he's returning and receipt on the counter and walks out. Girl goes over to check his movie back in, looks at the receipt, and announces to the store in general:

"That man's last name has (pauses to count) seventeen letters in it. Three of them are vowels."

We know an Indian couple who are outwardly pretty Westernized, but they are first-generation immigrants and we're pretty sure they were an arranged marriage. The wife kept her last name, but their daughter's last name is a third thing that seems somewhat derived from the husband's first name... like Betty Milkshake is married to Jacob Hamburger, and their kid is Sarah Jacobson. I don't know if it's a tradition I'm not aware of, or if they just pulled it out of their ass.

well that's one vowel per six letters.

Brightly is more consonant heavy than that, yet not particularly odd

So the Mrs and I bought a house...but our bank was hobbled by crack addicts who pushed the closing date around like 5 times. We closed last Friday...we were supposed to close 4 weeks ago.

Anyway, we went to Nebraska Furniture Mart. If you live in Dallas, Omaha, Des Moines or KC, you know about them...they're owned by Berkshire Hathaway. They have a YUGE store here in KC, KS. We spent parts of two days over there, meeting with a designer and selecting stuff. All we were waiting on was to close on the house. In the meantime, we're having a hard time getting in touch with the design guy at the store...we want to make a deposit or pay for our stuff outright, y'know?

Finally *I* call him--the Mrs had been mostly dealing with him--says he'll get back to me later today (Thursday). And he does...and tells us that they don't have a record of our order. Add to that, some of the stuff we wanted to order is no longer carried.

So that wiped out plans for the living room and dining room. Not to mention, we were going to buy a bed and a stove...so we were going to give these folks some money. And these stupid motherfuckers fucked it up. The Mrs was so excited...this is mainly about her. I wanted some input and got it, but this whole exercise was mostly for her. She was so pissed about it...and upset too. So naturally that pisses me off.

I'm still waiting to hear back from them after I raked them over the coals a couple times on Twitter earlier. But in the meantime, we'll start over...and focus more on spending money with local folks.

bust beer can Catherine wheel.

not unusual for the crappy cans to pop a hole and start spraying as I pick them out of the case. This one, however, was a force to be reckoned with, so much so I dropped it in surprise whereupon the force of the spray was enough to make it spin on the floor, drenching EVERYTHING with beer as it went. everything. especially paperwork and my work clothes. motherfucker

The work clothes are no problem, just tell your cow orkers you've been moonlighting in a brewery.

I really don't need to..... the empties for recycling are sorted right by my office, where the smell of stale beer masks the smell of the rotting garbage from the chute in the same location

(MI has a deposit on cans and bottles so customers return them to the store) ......And we have beer on tap at the café (sip 'n' stroll folks, $2 for a pint of good beer while you shop......)so it's pretty easy to drench myself with beer at any point of my work day if I'm daft enough to venture onto Cheese Island......
