eavesdropping for the technologically savvy

I was working on a post about how much my computer sucks. But my computer ate the post about how much it sucks. Bitch.

Luckily one of these is on its' way:

Yes, I'm in love. Now let's try this again, shall we??

A few things to post. (I guess it has been 8 months or so....)


In Target:
"Flagstaff is really the same temperature as Phoenix. It's not any cooler in the summer, but they won't report that because Flagstaff doesn't want to hurt their tourism..." (etc, etc)
-very cranky woman on a little scooter-thing

OK, so this is a conspiracy involving the entire state of Arizona, and all weather reporting operations in the nation. Boy, I bet people are really disappointed when they go up there to ski. How did this woman get this idea? Are all those wintery photos with the snow faked? Has she never heard of the concept of elevation change?


Grocery store, Christmas Eve:

woman1 is walking down a crowded store aisle, hiccuping loudly.
woman2: Gosh, don't you hate getting the hiccups?
woman1: No! I like it! I think they're kind of fun!! *HIC!*


Hmm, someone spent too much time in the eggnog section.


And I just found this advertisement at the end of a Chicago Sun Times article:

"Mormon Missionary
Mormon Missionary for sale. aff Check out the deals now!
www.ebay.com"

Ooh! Does he come with the bad tie, plastic nametag, and goofy haircut? Does the warranty expire after two years? Shouldn't that be a pair of missionaries for sale? I will buy them, and have them rove around my lavish parties with trays of hors d'oevres, and they will be responsible for clipping the kitties claws because it is certainly one of my least favorite tasks.
