What's got your knickers in a twist today?
Well, the twisted knickers of course. Jesus you are dumb sometimes. :)

Why you...you...
Who you callin' a youyou?
Yea. You. You you yahoo...Don't you see the finger? Where's it pointing?!? F'ing you...That's who. Where's it pointing now? At. You. Again. Don't stare at the finger, look where it's pointing. Yea. At you.
:)
*snicker* Bwuahahaaa!
lmao
You have the most off the wall sense of humor, girl.
Hey, don't look at me like I don't know where your finger is pointing. I'm not blind, ya know.
Sorry...all this avoiding housework makes me stupid. Who wants to drive 45 minutes both ways to take videos back right now? Jesus.
You. You do, don't you Shawnee? Be a pal. Get out of my pajamas and drive to town to take these videos back while I take care of these dirty floors.....Fine. I'll do it. This time.
Hey when did I go from busy professional to scummy, broke, housewife? Damz. Oh, don't forget internet addicted and lazy. :) Something to think about....tomorrow.
Everyone is entitled to some down time in their life. Relish it, and know you'll be back where you want to be in no time.
For me, the idea of being in jammies all day sounds delicious!
It's all a matter of perspective.
And I do love your sense of humor.
A boy and his dog: a classic (not you) picture of Americana.
"She was a woman of exceptionally good taste..."
Tea bags (no, not those) that come in the little paper envelopes. WTF?! The paper isn't airtight, it isn't sealed in any case so it doesn't keep the tea fresher. It just makes the tea harder to get to, and keeps the price of the tea from being cheaper. I don't like most double packaged items. I bought some fish sticks, in a box. In the box, was a bag w/fish sticks in it. Why the box? Do away w/the box and mark down the price 15 cents. No box, no paper to be bought. No paper, no box to print. No printing, no ink to pay for. Less ink produced='greener' planet. See?:eyebrow:
I took Max for a walk and was mobbed by a swarm of sandflies. Now I have about a dozen welts which are as itchy as shit.
:angry: Bank of America. They didn't get the wire transfer through to our buyer on Friday; we had to have a 'dry settlement' and hope that the money comes through today. Selling a house is a bitch.

Answer #1: Because right there in the freezer case, next to the box of fishsticks you bought, was a lumpy bag of fishsticks. But you didn't notice them, you instead saw a nice stacked box with pretty pictures on it, and you bought that instead.
Answer #2: Because in stores across the country, those same plastic bags are inside a variety of boxes with different brands on them. The one fishstick factory ships out the unmarked plastic bags to whatever distributor has a good brand penetration in the area.
So, ah... do you like fishsticks?

I hate excessive packaging as well. Especially that plastic shit that you need a bazooka to open because it's so stiff and hard.
*heehee. I said stiff and hard* :D

Meh.
Cheap-ass fishsticks don't have the inner bag (and by cheap-ass I mean cheaper than regular fish sticks which are pretty cheap.)
I won't eat them: laying around in just a box with multiple entry points for tiny little critters? No thanks. And a dirty cardboard box? You can't really wash fishsticks, any more than you can dust for vomit.

Where do you think the flavor comes from?
Imax ain't what it used to be.
But most importantly, of course, the screens were only a fraction of the size of a “real” IMAX theater screen. And all were shorter, 1.9-aspect-ratio screens, not the tall 1.44 screens of classic IMAX theaters. And let’s face it, the biggest aspect of the “wow” factor is height. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that even a very wide screen is not nearly as impressive as a one that towers six or eight stories high.
[B]The screen door effect[/B]
Using two high-powered digital projectors, the IMAX digital system projects an image that is bright, with good contrast and slightly better resolution than other digital projectors. But every IMAX digital theater I’ve been in has also had a noticeable “screen door effect,” that is, a visible dark grid pattern separating the pixels...
I saw the new ST movie both at a regular screening, and at the new "IMAX Experience" at the Columbia AMC.
I want my extra $5 for the Imax back. What a rip-off. :angry:

We have been noticing a disturbing trend as of late. It has been slowly happening for quite some time but now seems quite accelerated as the economy tanked. Nearly every consumer good is being reduced in volume or quantity for the same or a higher price. You name it. A bag of chips (crisps for you in the UK), a liquid soap (dial liquid soap is now very liquid and less thick), many bottles now have complete covers over the container so you can't see the actual contents. There are many more examples but it just seems like I see them more than ever before. Oh, and it pisses me off. Not that I should be surprised but still...
I wonder if they actually believe we don't notice.
Yeah, remember when a half-gallon of ice cream was sold as a brick, with actual corners? I'm convinced they moved to those curved containers because it's harder to tell when they make the size a bit smaller.
what's a half gallon of ice cream?
Yeah I used Dial bar soap until three months ago, they shaved the bar so that the bottom now has an arc enough to take out a third of the thing. Pre-slivered for our convenience! Unacceptable! I've gone to the old standard Ivory bar, which is as square and meaty as ever.
It's fucking soap people and we know two-thirds of your costs are in advertising.
Brand loyalty is a two-way street... this is our products not being loyal to us.

Don't get me started on Totino's pizzas...the best cheap ass frozen pizza on earth! When I was in HS, they were as big as a record album. Now they're like a 45.
And I'm telling my age with my references. Sorry kids. ;)

Yeah, I've noticed that, but I've stuck with the standard yellow Dial. Ivory just... doesn't feel right. Besides.... Ivory? Seriously, you think Proctor & Gamble gives a fuck about you? If it's not the size of the soap, they'll let you have it some other way. If you really want to teach them a lesson, drop out altogether and make your own.
a record album.

a 45.
OOoh! OOoh! Tell us more about the olden days, Auntie Shaw!!

Absolutely! that was another one on my personal list I forgot about... :mad2:
I have lost virtually all brand loyalty for those very reasons. Look at the size of candy bars.
You guys are right! Remember the Cadbury egg thing this year?
Ivory is cheap and meaty, but it wears away faster, IME. I am going to start buying stuff from local crafters, I think. I mean, if I have to pay more anyway, why do I want mass produced crap?
I think Ivory floats because it's full of air bubbles, isn't it?
Anyway, I can't (or won't) use anything but Dove...so whatever size they make it, I'm stuck.

Starting about five minutes ago, LOTS of things.
MB's manager...one of MB's cow orkers...the thought of going to brunch by myself, again (no thanks)...and generally, not seeing much of MB for weeks and weeks, because of opposite schedules.
Why is it that if one lazy, idiot server throws dishes and silverware in the trash; then suddenly, everyone else must stay an extra hour and a half, count all the dishes and silverware, and do punishment cleanup duties?
It's bullshit, I tell you.
Lying assholes who just can't seem to stop fucking up and then playing sad put-upon person. Fuck. That. Shit. Grow up and smell the coffee, shit or get off the pot, write a poem or SOMETHING. Your neediness is boring and spineless. You know who you are.
How come every time I buy a CD the case is always broken?
The price for less durable plastic is 9 cents per unit @ 100,000 units, as opposed to the 14 cents per unit* for a more flexible product that is also nicer to the touch. The customer won't know until they get it home and unlock the secret optical 3D anti-piracy code strip which, as we know, has completely prevented CD piracy. The customer will then have a CD case with a little sticker-remnant goober on the outside, to remind them not to pirate the disk, or value their physical purchase in any way.

Some days, my job makes me feel like the spiny butthole of a headless cockroach. Today beez one of those days.
