Who ELSE Said That?

I'm feeling disallusioned with my quotation book. It seems that only a handful of people ever said anything funny and memorable, because the quotes in this book are all by the same people! And that makes the game less fun. So, I'm putting a stop to this game. I'm putting the quote book on the back of the toilet, and if I find a quote worth guessing, you'll be seeing it in "Things I Learned on the Toilet". At least until I get a new quote book...

Eureka!

I just figured out how my Weatherpixie stays so skinny. She must excercise/jog in place constantly to keep her body temperature up, so she doesn't freeze her ass off wearing those skimpy outfits. If this is how she dresses in the winter, I can't wait to see her summer wardrobe!

End of an Area

I answered the phone when the student loan people called last night. They said "Are you interested in consolidating your student loans?" I said "No." They said "Okay, thanks, goodbye."

After 6 months, what a letdown.

Out of Area, Continued

For some reason, most of the Out of Area phone calls have stopped. Maybe they read my blog, I don't know. Maybe it was you guys all along. But for whatever reason, I'm proud to say that I've gotten very few Out of Area calls in the last week or so. Maybe 3 or 4, which I at least consider a tollerable level of harrassment. But I still have that one salesman who calls every single day. It's a company that wants me to consolidate my student loans, I know what it is. And I have NEVER answered the phone for them because of all the reasons I ranted about in Part 1 of this blog.

Ok, so they are the only ones who still call me EVERY DAY! I'll get home, I'll start making dinner or washing dishes or something (in any case, my hands are always wet) and the phone will ring and I will say to myself "There's the student loan people calling again..." and sure enough, their name pops up on the caller ID, and I go back to what I was doing.

So last night, despite all my principles and stubborness about the whole issue, I answered the phone. The student loan people's name popped up on the caller ID and I answered it. Finally I give in, I'm going to tell them to stop calling, that they are wasting their time, interrupting my life, wasting natural resources, and they are just plain stupid for not getting the hint a long time ago. Do Not Call me anymore. Put me on your DO NOT CALL list. Good bye.

So I answered the phone on the second ring, rather nicely I think, actually. "Hello?" and I heard a pause, and then a click! THEY HUNG UP ON ME!!! After all that they hung UP!! Why the hell are they calling me? Were they just so shocked that I answered that they dropped the phone? They call me every day but they don't want to talk to me?

I wonder if you can block specific numbers from getting through to your phone. I wonder if they'll call me again tonight....

Do You Ever REALLY Identify with Postal Workers?

I can see going on a killing spree. I can understand getting so fed up with the goverment bureaucracy that you'd simply "snap". I can see that.

Ah...but some days are like that. They call it "work" for a reason, y'know, ha ha ha! I love that joke!

But anyway.

George Bernard Shaw "Said That". And Flipsycab nailed the answer that "I Learned on the Toilet," the L.A. (nee Brooklyn) Dodgers were originally the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers, because of the hundreds of trolleys that zig-zagged through the Brooklyn streets.
