At 8:00 a.m. I placed on order for store pickup on W****t.com.  Almost six hours later it still isn't ready.

 

 

 

It's

 

two

 

items.

 

 

 

Why did I do this, you ask?  At 7:00 a.m. I got a targeted email offer from TopCashBack, offering an extra $5 off a $15 W****t purchase (and I needed paper towels and Ziploc® sandwich bags).

It's now been 9 hours since I placed the order, and it still isn't ready.  

 

Now I just refuse to go pick it up.

 

I am leaving early tomorrow morning and won't be back until ~10/13.  Eventually they will put the items back and refund my credit card.

 

Paper towels and Ziploc bags.  Good lord.

You're having a hard time getting other people to bring you things, huh?

The Taco John's on 27th Street in Sioux City just accepted my Amex Platinum to pay for a Taco Bravo and a medium order of Potato Oles.  So the weekend wasn't a total loss.

When I sat down the TV in the Admirals Club was blaring cable news.

 

Not anymore.  Thank you, TV-B-Gone.  :good:

I can't tell if this is real or a joke.  I hope it's real.  I want one.

It's no joke.  Worth every penny.  

 

As long as you're within 12-15' and have direct sight to the TV...  you're in control.

TV B Gone is one of those 7 wonders of the world.

 

They work great for getting even with sports bars that have shyty wait staff. You and several friends each go to said bar with TV B Gone's in hand during playoffs, finals, etc. Not gonna sale much alcohol with the TV'S constantly turning off.

 

Also works great at the doctor's office so I dont have to watch shows like The Vag or The View or whatever its called.

Genius.

Have you ever gotten caught?

 

 

 

Almost no one knows that these things even exist, and the one I have looks like an ordinary keychain.  

 

I usually set it down on a table in front of me, point it in the right direction and press the button, and then turn my attention to my iPad while the TV-B-Gone does its thing.

Oh! You flew into SUX!

October highlights include Waterloo (ALO) and Moline (MLI). 

 

I've been to MLI a couple of times, but I can't wait to see the Discovery Lounge at ALO!

Only kind of job I can think of that would take anyone to Moline or Waterloo is a natural fertilizer salesman.

I once worked across the ditch from Moline over in Davenport whose idea of a good time was a festival honoring some wino jazz musician who died in a drunken stupor.

I always figured you were into that auto-exotic torture thing.
