  1. Log in to Google Checkout, and I'm suddenly presented with the latest novel from their legal department. I can't access customer orders until I agree to it. What makes them think I have time to read this at their whim? Perhaps I have orders to attend to? No "later" option given. If I were to decline, how would I even refund people's money? I'm really starting to hate that company, they could burn to the ground and I wouldn't shed a tear.

      None of the services like that are perfect. I've read plenty about people having trouble with Paypal and I got screwed by Moneybookers this weekend. I would guess that ALL of them will give people problems at some time or other.

  2. I think that may be the best baseball game I've ever watched. And I'm not even a Cards fan.

      I saw parts of it (at work). It was pretty thrilling.

  3. Getting sick of people who take the time to find an item online, spend good money to buy it, and can't be bothered to type a coherent shipping address. The official language of the USPS is English, not whatever crap falls out of your keyboard while you're munching on Doritos.

      That's too much of a hassle, man. Just smoke some weed and relax. Who cares if the address is wrong? It's just things, man. People are important, not things. Now let's take some ecstasy and hug.

  4. Back from a car show in South Lake Tahoe. They had a few really interesting cars but not nearly as much variety as I was hoping for. I wish these shows would broaden their perspective, I get bored looking at every Mustang, Camaro and Chevelle ever built between 1965-1970. They did build cars after that. If the oldtimers don't want to look at them, fine, but I do.

      Several Beetles, yes, but nothing done up as Herbie. :)

      I saw a Herbie replica on the road a few months ago. :ponder: I love beetles.

  5. Okay, who sent out the memo saying every simple thing on the internet has to be turned into a clunky Java app? Everything has gone to hell in the last 6-12 months. Now even USPS.com has been taken over by this crap.

      I used the new USPS website for the first time earlier today. I don't like it, either.

      new usps, old usps, it's all the same- my compumate from venezuela has been accepted and orogin post is preparing shipment as of 9:13 am June 30.

  6. Saw some guy blow his engine last night on the interstate just ahead of me. He was passing a truck and suddenly it started pouring smoke, heavy oil smell, and I could hear it clattering as I passed by. I bet he had a crappy day.

  7. Developing a nervous twitch against the text phrases "should of" and "try and". I don't care about such things when spoken, but in text it makes me want to grab a red marker.

      Try and remain calm, you should of known this was coming :D

  8. a beverage can on the race track.. it's come to this. Every time I think NASCAR can't get any worse, it does.

  9. They say they're "handling his body appropriately" - I trust that means soaking it in jet fuel, lighting it on fire and tossing it off the Empire State Building.

      Which one did they kill? Skinny bin Laden or fat bin Laden with the totally different facial features?

      And I'm not a little pissant, I'm a big pissant with sharp fangs and a pocket full of magic.

  10. had an "Unclaimed"->RTS package returned by the post office that I mailed to a customer over a year ago. Customer never reported it missing. Postmarked Feb-2010.

  11. Back from getting destroyed in multiplayer "black ops" on a relative's 360. I think my kill ratio was about 5-300. Laughing eases the pain.
