Taste-o-vision may be a good idea for The Food Network but not so much for Animal Planet.

Animal Planet is not nearly as interesting as the ongoing saga of Raptus and his shoes.
Technically, no one begged me. But in the spirit of Christmas I'll just assume that everyone is stressed and frazzled. Anyways, our story so far...: I got a great Black Friday deal on 2 pairs of shoes from Sears.com and told them to deliver to my house. A day or two later, Sears sent me an email which said my shoes were ready for pickup at the store. When I got to the store, I was told that the shoes weren't there and that the style I ordered wasn't even on the Sears website anymore. The manager and I both looked at the website from a store kiosk, and, sure enough, the style I ordered had disappeared. Thus vanquished by the retailer, I hung around until the manager phoned Sears credit and got them to charge back the amount to my credit card. This all happened at the end of November.
Fast forward to last Friday. Out of the blue, I received a mysterious email from Sears saying that my shoes--which Sears no longer sells and which I have no longer purchased--are currently in transit to my home. I thought it must be a mistake, but there was a UPS tracking number and everything. I didn't bother checking the number until yesterday, whereupon I discovered that UPS has no record of this number in their system. So as far as UPS is concerned, they're not shipping me the shoes that Sears didn't sell me.
Is it possible that somebody is trying to gaslight me? Or am I about to be the beneficiary of a true Christmas miracle? And if the shoes do arrive, how am I supposed to pay for them since Sears doesn't even sell them anymore? I can imagine that conversation with "Dennis" from Mumbai when I call Sears customer service.
One last thing: The email said that the phantom shoes would arrive in 5-7 days, so I'll try to post daily updates since I assume that everyone here is endlessly fascinated with my life. ;D

The ongoing saga of raptus and his shoes will play out to his good, which only shows the benefit of good, clean living.
Good, clean living somehow does not correlate to the Twitter philosophy cited by RaptusRegaliter .
Which I must say is riotously funny. I don't do the Twitter thingy, but I have often thought how ridiculous it is unless one is a Hollywood type who wishes to keep the paparazzi at bay.

The Twitter philosophy cited by raptusregaliter makes the women swoon like they're at a Robin Williams concert when he was high?

A Robin Williams concert when he was high does not compare to my story about Overstock.com which leads me to say to Raptus, "Baby, I feel your pain."
I think the best ending to this story is that you receive the shoes that you did not order from Sears and which were not shipped via UPS. Keep me posted.

Pain in the next things like what raptus and Anyacat have experienced rarely occur at any of the PowerWorld retail locations around the globe.
TFWG Band Camp Perpetual Gift Card purchases made by 5pm tomorrow are guaranteed to arrive by Christmas.

By Christmas I'm wiped out and ready for a long nap.

Wyoming residents would be impressed with Marc's ability to list all 50 states in alphabetical order.
To remember them all you need to have a sharp mind, a keen memory, and a thorough knowledge of the U.S. geography.
A thorough knowledge of the U.S. geography is something I don't think I have, since I don't think I could do the same for the state capitals.
I guess since I remembered them all, my brain cells are healing and are no longer damaged form when I used to smoke weed do illegal things in my younger days.

The state capitals are usually filled with way too many political hacks who are too busy lining their own pockets.
