It's been a bit so here ya go:

Q: How did you hear about us?
A: Ears

Gift Message:

It broke,
Thing 1 and Thing 2,
Now, they're new

AND finally - a customer surfed in and bought a Wonder Woman action figure after searching for "white prom dress".

Whoah!

Sometimes I'm slow and don't think about those words and phrases that have meanings unto themselves but which stem from separate words that have meanings unto themselves. Then I have moments of enlightment at which friends laugh and my mother calls a "blonde moment."

Examples:

1) tortilla chips... I suddenly realized one day that they were made of tortillas! Shocker!
2) "Vasquez Rocks Park 2" on a sign ... I thought it meant the 2nd park... it meant "2 miles"

So in this vein... today I realized that I was a "copywriter". I just thought I wrote the copy.

Just...

I just wanted to add that I wrote that previous post (and this one) while waiting for this IRCer to "find their credit card."

The IRC operator and I both know this is a waste of time....

IRC

IRC in my world is the "Internet Relay Call" which is intended for deaf and hard of hearing customers. However, Internet Relay Call is also great for throaty-voiced, Nigerian accented old dudes that want to call me up and place an order under the name of Susan Smith.

Let's just not bother wasting my time people... I am the Fraud Slayer after all! The IRC call takes like 30-40 minutes only for you to try and order a quantity of Star Wars sports jerseys and then for me to burst your bubble by telling you I only have one and that you ain't getting them anyway.

I think our sports jerseys in 2x size attract the fraud-scalper-types. A friend of mine worked at a store where they discontinued selling the 40 oz beers because the because the neighborhood started gathering a bad "element." We should probably do the same to get rid of our "elementals."
