Dear dimwit on the phone

I absolutely loved the four fans with "YOU/GON/GET/GOT" signs who put them up right after R-Truth and The Miz won last night (and right behind them, no less).

 

Are you really arguing that it's OK to send a press release out with critical information?

Give me a break.

It's not that it's hard to get it, it's just that I expect that people looking for publicity are going to do all they can.

 

No, I'm not. I'm saying if you don't have it and can't reach the people who sent it to you, Google is a great option to turn to.

 

James D. McCoy?

 

KY: I could have emailed them back and asked.

I had the address in a minute, not an issue.

Point is this is a bitch thread.

People are complaining about ADs not providing phone numbers. That's a little harder than a web search, but not a lot.

Lemme bitch? Please?

 

It's all good, Billy. Bitch away.

 

FYI, I was just being an ass on purpose...yes, feel free to bitch. It cleanses the soul...

 

There area lot of squeaky clean souls around here then

 

OK, it's the end of a long Thursday in a long week, and that just made me smile.

 

Not a phone call but I can't dig up the "Open letters" thread.

Dear dimwit freelance hunting columnist:

Please make sense of this paragraph that was part of your submission for this week:

Adding to their enjoyment of floating and fishing the river was a visit to a cave where there was a reastauant in the cave along the river wher we enjoyed a good lunch.'

What? The? Fuck? I have half a mind to toss the entire column just for this abuse of our allegedly common language.

Yours,
Apeman.

 

Dear lonely guy calling me to talk.

Yeah, it's hot out. No, I don't care that you think the pic we ran of high school kids practicing football on the first day in which they have dark jerseys on and helmets is wrong. Yes, some kid just died, but coaches do allow for water breaks.

No, I don't want to hear about how Arab countries taught American soldiers how to overdrink water during the Gulf Wars because even though they aren't thirsty, they need the water...same as high school kids.

Geez, thanks for the lecture of how heat affects the human body.

Oh, my GOD! You mean you called 3 hours ago and our sports editor told you our columnist would not be in last night and transfered you to his voice mail, yet you call back to me to see if he was lying?

No, that sound is not me slamming my head against the desk...no, listening to you is much better than watching this baseball game and writing a headline for this story I need to edit.

Oh, you're done talking now...are you waiting for me to say something profound other than: "Mmmmhmmm." "Yeah." or "Uh-huh." Well, keep waiting...this is your nickel sir.

But won't someone PLEASE think of the children
