Well, the last guy who got this way ended up getting run over and being killed. This guy definately took the “triple dog dare” to a new level. He was twice the lethal limit and DRIVING A TRUCK.

Read about it here.

A disabled man flees the hurricane and heads to Kansas City with his dog, Shuma. He finds refuge at a shelter which doesn’t allow animals. Man has to put dog up for foster care. Man goes to return to home and find foster will not give his dog back and since he signed a release, she will likely keep the dog because “She has grown attached to him.”

There is a special place in hell for this woman. Yes ma’am, it can get worse than living in a run down trailer in Kansas City with everyone around you being disgusted at your selfishness.

KCTV5 - KCTV5 News Investigation: Dog Dilemma Update

So it is now illegal to import a device from one country to another without the manafacturer’s consent…yeah freedodom! I assume that next it’ll be illegal to have pictures pictures printed or developed in a country other than the one intended, as it will be trademark infringment. Think how many people will be in Mexican jails…the horror of it all.

I don’t get it, I’m paying for service and food at these places and it seems more and more of them supply less options for either. My wife and I recently went to a restaurant that we have frequented in the past and they have a plate that I like. I really like a plate of fried oysters, fried shrimp and fried crawfish, which isn’t on the menu, but they have made the sub for me before. This time we were informed that the only way we could do this is by “buying” the fried crawfish ($6) in addition to the other two I wanted and the fried catfish, which I don’t like. The other option was to order the “Pick two” platter which could have any two of the 3 I prefer for $12. Neither option is what I wanted, so since we were there we picked a halfway point with my wife taking my catfish and me eating the shrimp and oysters. In the end, they didn’t get the add-on sale they were looking for and didn’t even get to sell two plates…we split one. Finally, we won’t be going back anytime soon since they have decided that I can only spend money there the way THEY want. WTF? I wasn’t asking for free food, hell, I would even pay a modest fee for what I wanted ($1-2). Oh well, less business for them.

We’ve noticed several other times lately from differing places and I just wonder, what is their motivation? Always play inside the rules someone made or take care of the customer and get them to come back and spend more money?

It’s penny wise and pound foolish in my mind…you may make money off of me this time, but I won’t be back and won’t recommend them. Who really wins in this scenario? If not the restaruant and not me, then who?

That’s just dumb.

By the way, it’s Clear Springs Cafe in Clear Springs, just outside of New Braunfels.

Despite Saleh’s assurances, al-Zarqawi’s group posted a new Web message Friday warning Iraqis that they could get hit by shelling or other attacks if they approach polling stations, which it called “the centers of atheism and of vice.”

“We have warned you, so don’t blame us. You have only yourselves to blame,” it said.

Sunni Arab extremists have vowed to disrupt Sunday’s national elections, in which Iraqis will choose a 275-member National Assembly and provincial councils in the country’s 18 provinces. Iraqis in the Kurdish-ruled north will chose a new regional parliament.

So what they are saying is that “We don’t want you to have a choice and you could die if you decide to have a say in what happens.” WTF? I’m incapable of understanding how that can possibly work, even if it does. If a gang in my town came out and said that, I’d be right down there at the polling place voting for the guy who was going to rip their heads off and shit down their neck.

Here is the full article from Yahoo.

Wow, I can imagine twice the legal limit, but twice the LETHAL limit? That’s some staying power! The dude was even talking with folks.

Here is the story

Our local Pizza eatery, Mr. Gattis has great pizza. They use nice ingredients on well sized pizzas, in short, we really like them. The pizza is hot when you pick it up, comes with plenty of extras and is reasonably priced. So why the rant? It’s their customer service. You can generally call them without much issue, but once you go to the store to pick the pizza up the shit starts. First off, they have 4-5 people behind the counter, but only ONE of them is normally minding the cash wrap and pickup window. This person is taking walk in orders, taking phone orders AND trying to run the register for the people there to pickup their pizza. This single person is way overloaded and often makes mistakes as it seems the least senior person gets cash wrap duty. They grab the wrong pizza, they can’t work the credit card machine and have a gaggle of customers staring at them impaitently. Maybe, just maybe, they should get some of those other folks back there to move their lazy asses and actually help out at the front where the cash is being delivered for a pizza.

It’s not a huge thing, just make someone back there have dual duty in high traffic times, I mean WTF they have great product, just shitty customer service and that shitty service isn’t the fault of the poor teenager working the cash wrap, it’s the fault of a manager or higher who’s deemed that one person on the register is enough.

A New York woman who ran up debts of $951,000 on her Amex account is sueing the company for $2m for allowing her to hammer the plastic, Newsday reports.

Antoinette Millard, 40, says American Express should have realised she was mentally incompetent when she opened the sky’s-the-limit Centurion account. Her court filing states that American Express “knew or should have known that [Millard] was acting impulsively and and irrationally at the time she entered into contract”. She cites anorexia, depression, panic attacks and “head tumors” as contributory factors to her mental incompetence.

Just like the category, all I can say is: WTF??? Why didn’t I think of that? Run it up and sue like hell! Read more here.
