I Win, I Win, I Win...Film at 11

There is important news at the MerleSneed blog. After lengthy and sometimes contentious negotiations, the fine folks at Circuit City have agreed to replace my crappy laptop. I received a call today from my new best friend Alan, at the Circuit City organization, advising me that they were going to give me a new computer equal to or better than the one I bought from them in November of 2004. Despite having to jump through hoops to get them to do the right thing, it is gratifying to see them live up to their warranty promises. In other news, I received a letter in the mail today from Union Pacific railroad asking me to visit their web site and apply for a job that could ultimately lead me to becoming a railroad engineer. I am 56 years old, for cripes sake, and I don't think I need a career path. The really important news of the day is the proclaimation by Brad and Angelina that they will not marry until everyone who wants to marry is allowed to. I would like to go on record as saying that okay by me. I personally don't care who marries who. I just don't think that these knuckleheads went far enough in demonstrating their goodness. Brad and Angelina should also vow to refrain from the following until we all have them. 1. Multimillion dollar film deals. 2. Nannies, drivers, gardeners, giant stooges or paid lackies. 3. Paid photo shoots. 4. Preferential treatment all day, every day. 5. Lecturing the world about things you don't understand. 6. Pretending to be smart because you have protrayed smart people in the movies. 7. Have babish, rich girlfriends. (This one is for Brad and if certain older guys snag a young, rich babe, we can strike it from the list). 8. Media-tpes taking you seriously. There are dozens of things that I could add to the list, but you get the idea. Brangelina, it is time to walk the walk. Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong and sometimes just full of it. Tag: Daily Life Personal Finance Humor
