Once again fortune has humped my leg

Monday, August 20, 2007

I've been down in the Cackalack for about 4 months now and I've got a few interesting tidbits to share:

1. As my last post mentioned, I feared the blog would suffer due to a lack of crazy-person-stories. Well no sooner did I write that than I had my first significant run in with someone I affectionately call a "crazy bitch." I sit near the break room at work and there's a door to the outside hall there, which co-workers occasionally knock on to be let in because they've forgotten their access card. A few weeks ago, I hear an annoyingly persistent knock and dutifully get up to let them in (I'm no bouncer--you say you work there and I let you in). All of a sudden this ratty looking girl starts giving me this sales pitch for some beauty package at a salon I've never heard of, and says in order to lock in this "deal" I'd have to give her the money upfront. First of all, this girl was so yucky-looking I wouldn't have trusted her to make over a Barbie. Secondly, why would I give you $50 before you even had a chance to mess up my hair? Does it look like the turnip truck is right behind me??? Damn fool.


2. On Highway 70, between the airport and the mall is a carpet & flooring store called "Floors by John Raper." Seriously dude? You should really just leave it at "Floors by John" because there's no way I'd let you into my house. What if it's some incredibly clever ruse of truth in advertising he uses to gain access to women who are home alone? No thank you. I'll stick with Ikea's fake crap.


3. Why do the skinny bitches at the store Uniquities at North Hills refuse to even stock a size large? I've seen the brands they carry in other stores. I KNOW they make them. I'm sure they're trying to be as trendy as possible but it's North Hills, not Fifth Avenue for christ's sake. I'll keep my business with Anthropologie thank you very much.


Did everyone see that Sen. Obama will be interviewed on the Tyra Banks show in the fall? I know he's trying to reach out to the common folk but TYRA? You know she's just going to ask him if he thinks she's fat.


Right now I'm watching this show on the National Geographic channel about several instances of Cape Buffalo attacking human hunters. The narrator just had the following voiceover: "what caused these buffalo to go after humans?" Just a thought but maybe it's because these "hunters" were trying to mount its head on their wall. I would certainly be opposed to that if I were a buffalo. I don't even mess with the cats when it seems like they're in a bad mood. I mean look at this--would you get close to such ferociousness:
