My daughter was listening to Smashmouth singing "I'm A Believer" the other day, and dancing around the room. She said, "Dad, you know what? Music can change your whole mood." I wish I knew that when I was eight. Saturday, March 30, 2002
Could ATT possibly suck more? was the question asked several weeks ago, here. Sadly enough, the answer is YES! Have you ever tried to ftp something to your attbi site from somewhere other than another attbi connected computer? Don't waste your time. Can't be done. Unlike about 113% of other internet service providers, attbi doesn't allow you to, for instance, do such unusual things as update content remotely... They truly suck. So I go in to Mcdonalds and ask for a BacnEggnCheez Biscuit and a large coffee. Lady says, You want hash browns? I say no thanks. So, now she says, $2.65. I say, well, wait a minute, the large number 2 meal, (BacnEggnCheez Biscuit, hash browns, and a large coffee) is $2.49. Real snide, she says, I axed if you wanted hash browns. so I say, yeah, I know. I don't want any, but I'm not going to pay you extra to not have them... Very haughtily, she says that's why its a value meal. I say, no, it would be a value meal if it cost less to order all three items together than all three items separately, but it makes no sense for two items to cost more than the three together... She apparently thinks I'm a moron, and says more loudly "das why eetsa balue meal!!" I say, OK cancel my order and give me the value meal. Of course, she doesn't know how to void the order. She needs the key... Huffing and puffing, she cancels the order and rings in the value meal, and huffs over to the hash browns and slams them onto the counter. I pick up the coffee and biscuit and head to the door. She hollers Hey you forgot jor hash browns. I look back and smile and say, No, I didn't.
