Fantastic word game

Milk Duds, which are always tasty, make a fun snack for when It's movie time!

I guess if you want something done right you have to do it yourself, even if it means sacrificing another boring-as-hell family Thanksgiving shindig during which I'd just as soon be elsewhere, anyways. This just means I won't get any chicken and stuffing, but oh well. It's not the end of the world.

While I can agree being around the family can get boring, and, IMO, it even gets annoying at times, I enjoy the meal so immensely I'll put forth an effort to make time with the family as enjoyable as possible. Once all the food is put out and we all sit down to eat, it starts to rule, because we eat great food and have nice conversation. I can say I did enjoy my Thanksgiving with the family this year! 8)
 
It's movie time when you have Youtube, Video Download Helper, a stack of Compact-Flash cartridges and a second machine connected to the TV set.

[size=8pt]Thanks, WMC2006, but....surveillance camera tower 7? That's clear over on the other end of the campus! Why didn't you refer the contace (a.k.a. my Bev-pie) to tower #26? Because then she could have come in the east entry #2 and been right there, since the centre's only about 10 feet away from it. Well, I rang her and sorted it all out. Jim the Surveillance Bum's off, too (really, I have the whole campus to myself until tomorrow at about 0600P or so) so she blinked her flashlight in a predetermined sequence and I buzzed her in.

Good thing, too, since the heating furnace in that part of the building crapped out last night and while everything else is hovering at 40 degrees, it's still a nice, balmy 75 in the Centre, so I don't dare venture out into the rest of the building unless I absolutely have to! Three VAXen and a half-dozen X-Servers do put out a fair amount of heat, you know.
 
A second machine connected to the TV set gave Darth the opportunity to watch multiple football games while guarding the computer centre.
 
It doesn't sound like that in American English but we do it like that every now and again to keep warm and friendly relations with our staff and contributors from the north and beyond.
 
Allegedly, we have been remiss in remembering our special friend, Anyacat, who passed away around this time in 2010 and I think she would be tickled pink that we remember Anyacat as part of a clue.

She passed away the day after Thanksgiving in 2010 although it was later in the month I think. I don't recall the exact date. Let's remember Anyacat and everything she stood for including word games, travel tips, and topless driving. ;)
 
We remember Anyacat as part of a clue and I would like to think that she is smiling down on us from that great big Fantastic Word Game (or GBFWG as some prefer) in the sky.
 
The sky is bright and sunny today, perfect for a topless drive up in Heaven where Anyacat, no doubt, is leading every word game possible amongst all the other angels.
 
All the other angels and Anyacat were cheering on your one woman humanitarian crew, as well as the interns who followed our wonderful example and pitched in with the 716 place settings we washed after the band camp Thanksgiving gala.
 
After the band camp Thanksgiving gala, all the little band campers applauded and serenaded Miss Silkie, Sweetie Pie, and the lovely library pilgrims (MSSPLLP as most prefer).
 
Miss Silkie, Sweetie Pie, and the lovely library pilgrims (MSSPLLP as most prefer) (even though it's more awkward than almost any call letter combination) are known the world over for their style, class, grace, finesse and debonair.
 
Style, class, grace, finesse and debonaire certainly weren't the case with Cub/WINCO earlier this PM, as I went in to get my bag of Raisin Bran from the bulk section, only for the cashier to have a massive brain fart which she attempted to pass off on me.

[size=8pt]Yeah, so the SKU number for bulk raisin bran, for years, has been 1931 ($1.60/lb), so by habit that's what I write on the tag. So she enters it in the computer and it somehow comes up as "wheat germ" ($0.90/lb.) So of course, to try and save face she examines th stuff it as if it's some fungal mass from another planet ("well, gee, this has flakes and...things all throughout. Wheat germ's like, floury-like stiff, you know?") Then she gives me this huge runabout on "defrauding the store" and "shoplifting" and whatnot, and even goes as far as to call in the manager for "reinforcement" (as if I'm somehow some wanted crook or something.)

So I eventually convinced her to look it up in the book and found the number had, in fact, been changed to 1945 (what a surprise!), only the number on the bin was still the old one and they hadn't gotten round to changing *it* yet. Which, I guess, didn't help my case any. All I could come up with for a response was something along the lines of, "WF is all this about, anyways?"

I don't think I'll be shopping there again for quite a while. They just lost a customer today. *mockingly* 'Cuz I'm just a big-name felon now.....
 
A massive brain fart which she attempted to pass off on me ultimately resulted in my having to fix the issue myself, since she couldn't seem to remember what to do.
 
Do you need dmargalotti to help you, Darth, because we can send him out there to assist you in clearing your name and also to strip this store's PowerWorld membership.
 
To strip this store's PowerWorld membership would take some doing, since (last I checked) they weren't a member of the Power World Network for Business Excellence (or PWNBE, as some may prefer) to begin with, but I will admit it's an outdated roster I'm referring to, so their status may have changed by now.

[size=8pt]No, I actually have it straightened out. I just won't shop there anymore. (And Fred Meyer's seems to be pretty neglected lately...)

I may have lost $8.92 and about 5 pounds of cereal, but in the end they lost something much, much bigger than that--future business. (The manager even escorted me to his office, and apparently I'm expected to work there stocking shelves for an hour today, "to pay off my debt to the store". Well, he knows where he can shove that idea.) I grabbed a comment card on the way out and it'll be posted to the company's HQ on Monday. Don't think they won't be hearing about this!

If you treat your customers or clients like that, you deserve to lose business, pure and easy.
 
Their status may have changed by now, since the cheese cutter was traded in for a sharper model.
