Or a Seinfeld episode, anyway. It's been that stupid.
Ah. You see yourself as a character out of Seinfeld. Mm-hmm. Which one? When did these delusions start? Can you identify a particular incident that initiated this altered state? Would you like to talk some more about it?

:D

Your insults are unbecoming. No, I would be incidental as the next hapless shlub du jour they're trying to pull one over on, being the venal scrabblers they are. Can you tell I have no particular love for that show?

I enjoyed it for a while, a few years ago. It wore, after a while.

It irritated me from the start. You may well ask: If I hate so many, many TV shows, why do I even want to have a TV?

Let's say it's a mystery, and leave it at that.

By the way, I think my insults are very becoming. They're becoming something, at any rate ...

Something about that reminds me of Father Jack.

Oh, I just like to leave a little something that folks can happily walk away with in case they miss my drift. Everybody wins. :wink:

Okay, the new unit comes Monday. I hope I can remember how to set it up.

Monday is a holiday! Who are you kidding about new unit arrival?

Heathkit is supposed to re-structure out of bankruptcy. Build your own and when problems occur... call yourself to repair it. :)

I had no idea. I suppose now I'll have to have a look into what the Big Day is supposed to be all about. I've always said (and I think this illustrates it) that I have no sense of occasion. After four automated courtesy calls yesterday to remind me of the day and delivery time window, I have every reason to believe that apparently the same is true of Best Buy. We oafs (oaves?) will no doubt get along just swimmingly together.

Something tells me that this is a public employee holiday and not even all of those. I don't have the holiday off.

Oh, I see: it'll be Columbus Day. It's not the sort of observance people usually get time off for where I live, any more than they would get time off for International Accordion Day. And, to be brutally honest, I think that's just as it rightly should be, and we can leave it at that.

If the unit fails to come Monday it will be because of a glitch, not because of some observation-optional holiday that is belatedly coming to be seen for the embarrassment it is.

I didn't realise you were Italian, but I'm flattered by the mistaken inclusion.
