The EPIC Turkey Day.. ZOMG & THE EPIC XMAS D.T BOOM ROASTED!

The thread is not going the way he wants it to. He can no longer contain the animal inside him.

Dun-dun-dun-DUN...

What do you expect here? A decoupage class with Doug Henning?

 

In Latvia, what does one potato say to second potato?

Premise ridiculous! Who has two potato?!?!


Three Latvian are brag about sons. “My son is soldier. He have rape as many women as want,” say first Latvian. Second say, “My son is farmer. He have all potato he want!” Third Latvian wait long time, then say, “My son is die at birth. For him, struggle is over.” “Wow! You are win us,” say others. But all are feel sad.

Latvian walk into bar with mule. Bartender say, “Why so long face?” Latvian say, “I was thinking of my daughter. She has been lie with soldier for potato feed baby. “

 

Which is/was better? Marilyn Monroe or Bettie Page and why?

 

Marilyn at least had talent aside from taking off her clothes. Betty was just kind of there. If she rose to fame in this era she'd have her own line of furniture like Kathy Ireland. Then again, think of all the hardcore lesbian porn she'd do under the pretense of art.

I cannot stand the publicity Marilyn Monroe gets though. Especially from fat chicks. "Ooohhhhh Marilyn was a thick girl too!!" NO. She wasn't. She was incredibly tiny and filled out (5'5" 37-23-36 according to imdb), not bulging like a Christmas ham tied up with spandex.

Apparently she was in the gifted IQ range too. Drugs are bad mmkay? Arthur Miller, a playwright, got to nail that. A playwright. That makes me so fucking happy.

 

People suck.

So, at the silly video store job, a kid comes in and wants to rent a game. He wants to use his sister's account. She has a $60 balance, and the account is practically brand new (how they racked up $60 in fees in two weeks, I don't know), so we also require a deposit to rent the game, otherwise people would just open a new account, rent a game, and never bring it back. The kid is now visibly annoyed. He asks to rent it on his parents' account.

At this point, I get his name (he is, apparently, on his parents account) and it turns out THEY have $200 in fees, all from renting stuff and not returning it. I inform him that, in order to use this account, we have to get the $200 they owe us for merchandise rented and never returned. Kid is now much more annoyed.

It is then that I notice a third account with his name. This account was used once, in early December of 2010, to rent four games, for one night, that were never returned, thus giving this account another $200 balance.

It is at this point that I inform him that, without a deposit and some major payments towards the balances, he can't rent. Now, he is angry, and he storms out. Apparently I ruined his holiday plans to steal some games.

He comes back 15 minutes later, this time with $20 more dollars, saying he'll pay the deposit, but still not wanting to pay anything for the missing items on any of his accounts. By now my manager is there. She offers to let him open a new account, as long as he can provide a valid ID, which is something we require of anyone opening an account (and not something I would have offered). He says he can't do this, but still wants his new account. By now, he is straight up angry, as is my boss. Finally, I have to step back in after a few more minutes of arguing and say "look, there are three accounts linked to your name, and combined those accounts have walked out our door with over $400 in merchandise that we never saw again. From our perspective, why should we rent to you again?"

He finally left in a defeated huff.

So far in the past two weeks, I've seen people ripping tags off our cases, passing $200 in bad checks (one guy, $200 in bad checks over a weekend), people attempting to sneak out with candy (hint: hard candy in a box rattles and is not subtle when you run) or games (that set off an alarm), and now attempting the old "rent and never return it" trick. Good times.

People suck. Tis the season, I suppose. Fa la la la la La la la la.

 

I'm surprised you didn't try to have him arrested, much less continue to serve him.

 

I should add: by "kid" I mean he said he was 20, so technically old enough to have an account (and just barely old enough to have opened his own account years ago).

Part of the problem we have as a video store is we have to bend over backwards to please the customers, because otherwise they'll run off to Netflix or Redbox. Normally that means a free rental or two if things are screwed up (scratched discs, usually) or working with people on late fees to help them pay them off. This is one of those cases where we really, really didn't want to rent to this guy, but competition being what it is, we still try to do everything we can to please the customer. Once he refused our best offer (and again, I would have never given him a new account, but if my boss is willing, who am I to argue), we could safely refuse to rent to him with the full knowledge we did everything we could to please him.

After he left, though, my boss was fuming. She offered him a new account, and the guy still argued with her because she wouldn't let him open it without an ID. His excuse was the best, though: "They confiscated my ID when I was arrested." What reaction did he expect from that excuse? "You sure do seem like a fine, upstanding citizen. Let us trust you with our valuables!"

And for the record, for the duration of this conversation, I had the exact same expression on my face as Philip Fry has in my avatar.

 

Marilyn or Betty...


Its close, but I pick Betty. She seems like more fun.

 

I don't think this is an issue to be solved by child-beating.

 

If I had to make an educated guess, this guy was the reason for that $200 in fees on his parents' account, and probably also for the fees on his sister's account, too. Add in his admission of having recently been arrested, and you have a recipe for failure.

 

And she probably got tag teamed by the Kennedy boys. Something to think about.

I'd probably pick Bettie over Marilyn. That might just be an aesthetics thing. I usually go for dark haired gals over blondes.

 

I think the real problem this young man has is that he is shopping at a video store, if I learned anything from The Miracle on 34th St, it is that you should help others at all costs.
Tell him there are many better options out there for him, and you no longer have to deal with him.
Two birds, one stone.

 

I'm sure this is a fairly common occurence amongst 10-14 yr olds. These idiots think they're all coming up with a genuine idea. The resident clepto in my friends group thought he was a genius when he did that in 6th grade. We enjoyed playing those games, right up until his dad stormed through the front door with a magazine in his hand and delivered a whooping that we all witnessed...and laughed like hell about it for months because of the way he shrieked.

 

Some guy's sloppy seconds?

I suppose that may not bother me much.

The Kennedys' sloppy seconds? Seriously?

Consider: 1.) The non stop parade of vag those two got and 2.) factoring that probably neither, and probably not any Kennedy ever, wrapped it up (you know, being good Catholics and all). I guess I might brave their sloppy seconds, I'd just require a hazmat suit first.

 

That's hardly going to make the dress any cheaper.

 

Kind of, but not outstandingly so.
