• I’m glad I don’t work at Wal Mart
    I went to buy groceries today
    Dumb move
    Every Jim and Sally was taking his and her matching-overpriced-bullshit-with-a-bow-on-it Christmas presents back to try and convince the retail giant that it should essentially buy back the merchandise, effectively paying for the mistakes made in haste. Let me tell you something, people. When you take something back to Wal Mart, they don’t repackage it and put it back on the shelves. Don’t try to justify your despicable act of returning goods by thinking to yourself that somehow someone will put your item to good use. It doesn’t happen. Most of the time, it gets thrown on a pallet, loaded in a truck, and sent to some bulk transfer station. It’s cheaper than trying to resell it.

    You know, it was Wal Mart that solidified the horrible idea of a warranty in today’s society. If Wal Mart wouldn’t have led everyone on the planet to believe that they have no responsibility when they make purchases, the concept of as-is wouldn’t be so hard for the American public to understand. Now that I think of it, perhaps the whole problem is Wal Mart’s fault. Perhaps everyone should buy three of everything they want, open everything, and take two back and say they’re the wrong size, they don’t fit, they’re the wrong color to match your bloody flowers, and the batteries weren’t included. Maybe then Wal Mart would stop pandering to the ignorance of the public.

    Merry Christmas

  • Everyone always told me that Christmas was about giving and not receiving. "Bullshit," I used to think. I realized as I was lying sick on the couch next to the Christmas tree, waiting for my family to open their presents, that I really didn’t care what I got this year. While I’m quite thankful for what I did get, I was far happier to see my parents and sisters get some of the things they wanted. I guess they were right, whoever they were. I think it was the media. Perhaps Hollywood. I’m sure I read it somewhere.

  • I don’t know what it was
    Sicker than a dog today
    All…night….long…..
    Wayne’s sick, too…
    Must have been food poisoning from somewhere

    Finally got up off the couch
    About 7:00pm for about 15 minutes
    Back then to bed was I
    To watch more poker on ESPN
    Did I ever tell you how much I love sports?

  • Wayne and I drove to Sharon from Manhattan
    Missed about five turns in Wichita and Derby
    I need glasses

    Made it home in time to play poker
    Nothing like losing money to the old man

  • We had a party at the Wave tonight
    Rambler’s scramblers
    I’ll be home tomorrow

  • I just got back from Walk the Line
    I want to take some pills
    I guess they make you better

    That Elvis sure talks a lot of poon

  • I just got back from Lawrence and Topeka. Too much driving of late. I’m looking forward to this week of rest. Give a dog a bone.

  • First, I’m sorry for missing a day or two. I honestly don’t know if I missed one or if it was two. It’s been that bad. We left Friday for Andover, left Saturday for Hutchinson, and left today for Manhattan. I just got home and it’s somehow Monday. We sold a bunch of powersports. I ate three, perhaps four times. Stayed in two different hotels. I didn’t drink nearly enough beer because I was too tired.

    Tonight…technically last night…I, for some reason God himself couldn’t explain, talked Aaron into letting me go to Hays with him tomorrow…today?…I guess it will be tomorrow night before I can rest. Up early to go meet with someone in western Kansas. I’m sorry for the blathering blather. But not really, though.

    Blather

    Angry…hungry…and the other one that ends in "gry"…

    Go get it.
