Buster’s has this Jager promotional package with a deer head shot glass. I’ll take some better pics when I open it. I might have to go get another soon to have a matching pair, it’s the same price as just the liquor anyway.
I happened to be in midtown today after work, so I decided to stop at Raffe’s, as they always have a bunch of cool beers.
I noticed a big rack up front that said “Build your own six pack”. Basically you get a choice of a few dozen beers, and you can mix and match. You pay the price of the most expensive one for the six pack.
Here’s my take.
Very cool.
Damage report: $10.41
It seems companies now exist to provide bad service at whatever rate they can get away while providing the bare minimum of customer service to keep them from being sued.
In the last two days, I’ve experienced this twice.
First, Bank of America. Bank of america ATM kiosks require a card to unlock the door. The one right across the street from my apartment utilizes this system. Naturally, it doesn’t work. Ever. So I send an email to BOA graphically detailing the issue. Of course, I get the standard “We’re sorry your ATM is malfunctioning, we’ll address the issue”. Wonderful, fix the ATM for me. Don’t worry about the fact that it’s not the ATM that’s malfunctioning.
Now ATT. I recently got ATT DSL. It’s not that fast, but it was stable and cheap. The last few days, it’s gone down at least once an hour, and the only thing that gets it back up is a modem reset. Not a huge deal if you’re sitting there. Huge deal if you’re at work trying to remote desktop to your home PC.
I go to their website to try and get it addressed as Customer Service is closed right now. I try to log in, and they tell me my SSN is incorrect. Then that there’s no SSN associated with the account, and that I should log in using my PIN. Which is located on my bill. Which I have yet to recieve. Excellent.
I’m seriously about to get a TV card to capture this and upload it. They do a 30 minute informercial on WMC 5 late at night. Holy fuck. Here’s the website, to give you just a little idea of how fucking retarded these fucks are.
First, I would like to say it’s great that the atm door is locked by a cardreader that requires you to swipe your debit card, and doesn’t fucking work.
Also, I’d like to thank you for posting a sign that says “All deposits after 3pm will post the next business day” but not including “unless you make your ATM deposit after some undefined point in time at which we collect the day’s deposits, so don’t deposit all of your cash other than $20, because the next day you will be wondering why you have $9 in checking despite depositing close to $1000 in cash the previous night”
Nothing better than having to call your parents and borrow some cash when you’re 26 years old.

Memphis quits The First 48Updated: May 11, 2008 11:17 PM

The First 48 on A & E network
NewsThe City of Memphis and A & E network’s The First 48 have decided to call it quits.
Audiences around the country have grown to love Memphis homicide detectives featured on the real life crime drama.
Executive producer Laura Fleury says that after several years spotlighting crime investigations in Memphis, the city suddenly decided to suspend their agreement with the A & E network.
“I really have no idea. I mean the people of Memphis seem to love it,” said Fleury.
Fleury says Memphis is one of the favorite featured cities with The First 48 audience members nationwide. But sources within the Memphis Police Department say homicide detectives need a break.
City leaders like council member Wanda Halbert say Memphis needs a break from the negative publicity. Though she appreciates the exposure to MPD’s diligent detective work, Halbert worries about the popular program’s effect on would-be visitors to the Bluff City.
“Memphis is not unlike any other urban city where we have our challenges, but it’s certainly a great place to live, and we want to advocate that to others and encourage them to visit our city,” said Halbert.
Producers say the show has had a positive impact by showcasing the diligent work of detectives and how they interact with the community to solve cases. They say the community is much more motivated to come forward and provide information as a result of the program.
“We love filming in Memphis for a lot of reasons, one because they are a terrific police department very dedicated to solving their cases,” said Fleury.
Show producers say the city is still in discussions with the network, and they hope to resume their working relationship with the Memphis Police Department in the future.
I just sent my feelings to memphispolice.org:
I applaud the Memphis Police Department’s decision to stop working with A&E on the documentary show The First 48. I wouldn’t want you to break the protocol of ignoring the crime problem in Memphis as opposed to actually addressing it.

I was walking through Schnuck’s on Union buying stuff for dinner and decided I needed some kind of chocolate. I don’t eat a lot of sweets, but I do like having something every once in a while with a glass of milk.
Anyway, I spotted some brownie bites and threw them in the cart. I got home, ate dinner, had a cigarette, and decided I would try the brownie bites with a glass of milk. It was at this point that I noticed the brownie bites were “100 Calorie Packs”. Uh-oh.
I break the package open and get roughly 6 of these:
Tasty, but the “100 Calorie Packs” have to be the biggest scam ever.
“Hey there fatty mcbutterpants! Can’t control your brownie intake? Here, here’s 1/10 of the product for the same price so you know when to stop feeding!”
Find me a cheap GSR with some body damage. Go.
So I decided I would make it my hobby to fuck with him. Page here:
