Inconthee-vable

 

Are you sure this isn’t photo spanked?

 

I'm really not sure of anything these days....

 

Should we all use avatars of us wearing swimming attire?

 

Only if you can handle it.

 

Weird? I recieved some Tailwhip, then I orderd it two days later, but I already had it. And no more is coming? Even though I ordered it?

 

hill^billy Translator: Wow! I got my Tailwind Nutrition order from imtbgear even before I ordered it! Then they let me order it after I received it. Gee those guys are really swell!

Now back to your normal network broadcast...

 

AT&T is possibly the most clueless outfit on the planet.

I have a utility pole in my backyard. Friday before last (October 12) I noticed that the guy wire on said pole had snapped. Yes, the end of the run was no longer supported.

I called the city of Anaheim...after all, they've had their own electric utility since 1898 or so. We recently had an undergrounding project but they assured me it was not their pole.

So I contacted AT&T. They are excruciatingly stupid, and their customer non-service is located in the Philippines. I can recognize the accent in my sleep. I was in the Navy and have been to the P.I. seven times. They sent a technician to handle my "wiring problem."

They say it may belong to Southern California Edison...but I know Anaheim has had its own electric utility since Noah was a corporal...

So I call my SCE contact (as an employee of a Public Works Department of a major southern California city handling an LED conversion...yeah, I have one) and he tells me no, it's not SCE's pole.

Oh well, if the pole goes down it's going down in my neighbor's pool, not in my yard.

 

If all the wires snapped I'll bet someone somewhere might give a hoot and show up to fix it.

You tried, and no one cared. Lol, been there done that.

 

Light it on fire... see who shows.

Fire Dept would show, I'll bet. They might even bring the boys in blue.

 

Blue Man group at RwS' place!

 

The Fire Dept is who you should have called in the first place. Let them sort it out. Our tax dollars at work...

 

Sad times. The sci-fi rack has dwindled again. Pickings are getting slim; I foresee a dark age upon us.

 

Happy 243rd Birthday to Uncle Sam's Misguided Children (USMC)!!

Child.

 

@doublewide ... I still laugh out loud.

I'm glad you get a chuckle. I used that somewhere didn't I?

 

And you need a spanking!

Bring your helmet!

 

And I have just the outfit!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Clem was . . . never mind.

 

I was telling @Faust29 about the epic Disney party: http://www.disneyhistoryinstitute.com/2013/09/walts-field-day-1938.html

Party like it is 1938!!!
