Current Non-Annoyance

[Adam54]

I think I've at long last figured out the true identity of Fake Strider.

[Mal Shot First]

He is the terror that faps in the night.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Let's wet dangerous.

[Dalty]

That was the advertising slogan of my failed water park.

[Mal Shot First]

I got a package from Jubbers and Goits yesterday and got to enjoy 35 minutes of Jubboiter awesomeness on (digital) film (with a short cameo by Uncle Mal).

Current Non-Annoyance

I won the fantasy football pool at work. 28 of us paid $34 at the beginning of the regular season. That made the pot each week $56. If you won one of the regular season weeks, you got 75% of that ($42). The overall winner at the end of the regular season got the remaining 25% - or $238 all together. I didn't win any of the individual weeks, but I was fairly consistent week to week and so won the big prize with a pretty nice margin.

$238!! Mwa-ha-ha!!

She also found a copy of the mono Beatles LP collection on sale for 62.5% off.

[Jubbers]

Which means, after adding in shipping and copies of Let it Be and Yellow Submarine (I already have Abbey Road), I have $26.01 of my prize money left.

Nice. I still remember back in 1989, participating in a 100-grid pool at work for March Madness. My team was in the final, and as I watched our player take the last two free throws that would win the game, I also realized that making them would earn me the $90 win. It was doubly fun when he made both shots.

Don't know why my vintage copy of Abbey Road wasn't good enough for you. Was it just because my ex-stepfather's first wife wrote his name on it with a ballpoint pen?

[Jubbers]

Now this is an annoyance. They cancelled the box - it seems they sold out and didn't take the listing down in time or something. I'm trying to get them to cancel the rest of the order.

[Jubbers]

Rest of order cancelled. No Beatles for me right now.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

And Jubboiter's EEG came back negative. Once again, EVERYTHING'S COMIN' UP MILHOUSE!

[Dalty]

Until she's angry - then all hell breaks loose.

Oh, wait, that's ESP isn't it?

[Mal Shot First]

Rest of order cancelled. No Beatles for me right now.

I don't know, for 62.5% off, I'd still buy the rest of the collection.

[Jubbers]

The only part of my original order they had not cancelled was Let it Be, which wasn't 62.5% off. So I had them cancel it.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

You mean you didn't tell them to let it be?

[Jubbers]

I took a note from Elsa and let it go.

Negs, I run a 100-grid pool for March Madness. It is the best way to bet on the tournament because you can win money from every game and it doesn't rely on your ability to pick the winning team.

The Beatles Store's hold on my card finally went away tonight (despite the order being cancelled for a bit). Both vinyl sets are now officially out-of-print, so all that remains is whatever stock retailers have now. Today, though, I was able to order the Beatles *Stereo* Vinyl Box (all the albums, and a much bigger, glossier book, dammit!) for just $13 more than what my Beatles Store order would have been by taking advantage of the Canadian $/US $ exchange rate and ordering it from Amazon.ca

May this order go through successfully. I'm not having much luck this week, and could use "an easy win," as they say at work.

I have just spent the last 20 minutes asking Siri a series of outrageous questions.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Are they more outrageous than Jem? She's truly, truly, truly outrageous.

Whoa, Jem!

[Dalty]

Yeah! Turns out Siri can beat box. However ask her to explain why mawkish outpourings of competitive grieving in public forums such as social media may in fact illustrate that we have reached a point whereby our collective over emotionality means our adventurous development as a species is now stalled........ and she's shit out of luck.

[Adam54]

I'm going to see The Boss tonight (and again on Thursday, when I'll also get to meet kah!)

About as non-annoyed as I'll ever get right now.

[Dalty]

Great, she can hold your phone and video you doing a dance.
