I have long referred to the Village Discount thrift store by my house as the "shit thrift store". It's poorly organized, smells bad, and is always full of little kids gone apeshit. The only time I ever go there is when I am exceptionally lazy and don't want to head over to the Unique Thirft Stores on either Sheridan or Elston. This happens almost never. But I decided to stop in there today on my way home from work, and OH MY am I glad I did.
I will now start referring to this thrift store as the "scarf mecca of the midwest". There were scarves everywhere. I got all these scarves for about $5, and one of them is 100% silk. SNAP!
I was unpacking my bag of loot to take this picture and started thinking about all those Mission: Organization shows. You know, the ones where you almost barf because some crazed housewife in Iowa has a whole room full of Longaberger baskets and Beanie Babies. And then she breaks down when the host tells her she has a problem? Every time I come back from the thrift store, I fear the day that Matt has a thrift intervention with one of the annoyingly perky hostesses from these shows.
This is why I love buying scaves at the thrift store. They are small, easy to transport, and all look the same to a boy. I can easily sneak them into my rotation of scarves without a peep. I have become quite the ninja as this, as I hate hearing "Another fucking scarf / pair of shoes / board game / tank top?!?!? Jesus woman, you are gonna need a whole house for your crap"
I just got a very annoyed email for the illustrious CP, who was trying to post a comment on Chinchilla vs. Baby
So what the hell is this? "Your comment was denied for questionable content." I'll show you questionable content. Tripindicular sucks.
I replied with...
What was the comment? I have spam guard on my comments, so if you use a word that is on the blacklist, it will deny the comment (words like cialis, Paris Hilton, etc)
Not being a smart ass at all, he replied...
"responsibility....yup I'm gonna be that guy" that's it.Well, I also put in "PARIS HILTON.OPDUFH[ ZW80YT4YTY34T BIGGER BONERS!!!!ASEFT AWCredit to Anyone!!!!734TW4YPTXE4TYZ 4;"
Was that wrong?
So, I took a look and tried posting a comment to those exact specifications. Sure enough, it was declined. I let him know of my findings after some trial and error.
K, I added it in for you. Wanna know what caused the problem?....
4 dots. Apparently that is akin to saying tits paris hilton cialis porn porn porn a thon
So, thank you retarded comment spammers for making the interweb an offensive place to have a pregnant pause. We owe you one.
UPDATE!!! BREAKING NEWS!!! The author of tripindicular is inflating her ego by forging comments. CP is angry about me manually adding in his comment, because he like to complain.
comment forger...you bet your bottom dollar the WWB&IRB is gonna hear about this.
To which I replied...
The Wet Willy Bureau and The International Radioactive Brigade?Unfortunately, I am a board member on both. Your whining will fall on deaf ears.
And, finally, CP throws in the towel...
Too bad my dad is the President of the Board and...(this pregnant pause is banned in the Tripindicular MT Blacklist....retarded).......okay, I took this too far, I can't think of anything funny...........your face.
the end.
Sarah and I were just talking, and I was telling her that I want a chinchilla. I need a chinchilla. I require a chinchilla in my possession RIGHT. NOW. Sarah, being all psychomalogical like that, decided that I do not really want a chinchilla. I want a baby. I am supplanting my desire for baby with desire for chinchilla. I told her that these allegations were perposterous, and I would not stand for them. And then, as I grumbled back to my desk, I decided "I'll show her. I'll show her with pure, untainted science". So, without further ado, I bring you the battle of CHINCHILLA VS. BABY
