As a Sovereign Nation of Weird the citizens of Gonzonia prefer that I, as their ruler, adopt a policy of isolationism when dealing with foreign nations. But I can’t help but laugh at Agitproperties and their product line. Especially when they take the piss out of O’Reilly.

Yeah. So what is it about me that requires every retail experience to go horribly wrong? About a year ago I swapped my cell phone at Best Buy for a new one (glad I bought that service plan). My phone’s been crap for the last couple of months and I went to do it again. They said I needed to go to a sprint store and have them test it. So I do, I come back and I go to swap the phone. It’s now over an hour since I first walked into Best Buy.

We’re setting up a new account in Gianna’s name so that we can take advantage of the various deals. The sprint representative couldn’t get a signal. We came home, I called. I got disconnected (my fault). I called again. I got disconnected (their fault). I called again. They tell me I need to go back to a sprint store and show them ID. I do and that goes okay.

The problem is…what should have taken me 1 hour, took me all day.

The good news is…someone from my People I miss list actually go the message that I wanted to get on touch with them. Sadly, they never actually contacted me until I sent them my new cell number.

I haven’t looked at the real Ready.gov site yet, but this parody site from Idle Words is great. Thanks to Pop Culture Junk Mail for the link.

I also find this story from the Washington Post pretty interesting. It’s pretty amazing what you can get for a small political investment of $100,000. Personally, I go for about the same if anyone wants to buy some advertising. I can talk your product up at parties…scream it from my window…ya know, get the word out.

All I’m going to say is an accurate quote I heard in X-files once…
“All the nuts roll down to Florida”

I spent most of my day on Saturday sifting through various job sites looking for a job. “But oh fearless leader of Gonzonia, don’t you have a job?” Yes my loyal subjects, I have a job and it sucks. I know, I know, everyone’s job sucks. However, I live in Florida. That means that my boss has the right to abuse his employees in whatever way he sees fit. If we don’t like it, we have the “right to work” somewhere else. As a result, that’s what I’m trying to do. The problem is, everyone wants either more than I can offer, or to pay less than I can accept.
