  - I have, but they're shipping it UPS. -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 13:04 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - I haven't gotten the tracking number yet, which is precisely what I requested in my reply to them. - znufrii Aug 3, 13:06 3

        it's not that difficult of a concept, really. - znufrii Aug 3, 13:10

apparently, my car dealer goofed on the rebate thingy, and wants me to renegotiate my new car.... - groiny Aug 3, 12:54 20
- Ouch. Yes, that is a requirement. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 13:03 8
  - maybe so, but why was that never brought up in the conversation? - groiny Aug 3, 13:04 7
    - Probably assumed, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't some paperwork you signed in connection with using the program and if so, I'd guess that - pmb Aug 3, 13:06
    - Someone at the dealership messed up and forgot to ask -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 13:05 5
      - see, they are supposed to the the experts in this shit, not me. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 13:05 4
        
        I'd expect them to be on top of it, yes, but you're not a babe-in-the-woods either. - ty97 Aug 3, 13:06 3
        
        hell, I was shocked when they told me I could use it towards an Equinox! - groiny Aug 3, 13:07 2
        
        laughing. - ty97 Aug 3, 13:08 1
        
        granted the HHR would have made MUCH more sense, but my wife wanted the equinox. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 13:09

- What car did you get? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 12:56 1
  - a nice gas efficient Equinox 2009. - groiny Aug 3, 13:01
- Check the papers you signed. Was the price contingent on qualification for the C.A.R.S. rebate? - ty97 Aug 3, 12:55 7
  - It's also possible that in one of the papers he signed he represented that he had owned the car for over a year in which case there is a breach of - pmb Aug 3, 12:59 6
    - Ah but did it specify planet Earth years? If you lived on Mercury a year only takes 90 days. -- nm - Loyola Aug 3, 13:03
    - I feel almost certain that one of the papers was written in a way to invalidate the sale or price if the car didn't qualify. - ty97 Aug 3, 13:03
    - Damn lawyers. Or damn auto salesmen. Or damn groiny. - musubi Aug 3, 13:01 3
      - don't damn me, they never asked me how long I had the car. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 13:02 2
        
        Well, not for this, but I'm sure you've done *something* recently that deserves damning. - musubi Aug 3, 13:07 1
        
        oh, I can not argue that at all. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 13:08
I'm proud of my dog barking (and not at what you think). - ceregon Aug 3, 12:51 18
- my mom's dog only barks as a warning (someone's outside, something weird is going on, etc.), so the best way to get him to shut up is praise. - mafic Aug 3, 13:03 1
  - exactly, if he barks at something outside, making eye contact and letting him know that you are aware of it works...unless... - ceregon Aug 3, 13:07
- But really, when are a cat and a possum going to start a fire? (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 13:00
- [deleted] 2
  - Usually they run away. My old corgi killed them regularly and they avoided my yard, but now they seem to think it's safe again. - ceregon Aug 3, 13:03
  - rabid -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 13:00
- So the cat and the possum were having sex in the back yard? -- nm - Dano Aug 3, 12:56 7
  - Not so mass hysteria! -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 13:04
  - they were fighting -- nm - ceregon Aug 3, 12:58 5
    - followed by make-up sex? -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 12:59 4
      - only if the cat wanted to have sex with a corpse -- nm - ceregon Aug 3, 13:00 3
        
        how did you kill it? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 13:03 2

- i think you'r dog think you're it's puppy and too thin :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 3, 12:55
- that's cool - ty97 Aug 3, 12:54
- I spilled hot coffee on my dog this morning, 'cause I'm an idiot. But because his coat is so thick it never reached his skin - decline Aug 3, 12:53 1

Unconscionable Math - Loyola Aug 3, 12:51
I think I attain my "IT GUY" status because people don't know basic stuff in Word, Excel, etc. - JaxSean Aug 3, 12:46 2

  - are you going to laugh at me if you see me with it? -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Aug 3, 12:41 7
    - It sounds like we need to get you an appropriate tshirt to go with it. -- nm - Max Aug 3, 13:00 2
      - do you hate me? -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Aug 3, 13:04 1
        
        on the walk to CVS I thought the tshirt in front of me said "I'm Pierced" but it actually said "I'm Perfect" - Max Aug 3, 13:06
    - probably, but in an amused rather than mocking way. -- nm - mafic Aug 3, 12:47 2
      - you know, I considered boycotting serengeti. for the briefest moment, I was like, oh, I need to find a new brand of sunglasses. what? -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Aug 3, 13:07
      - yeah. I kind of figured that. it's a cool case. except for the nascar thing. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Aug 3, 13:03
    - Not if you have the serengetis on. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:43
Edinson Volquez wound up having to have Tommy John surgery and is out for 12 months. -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:38 12
- Did you see that I offered you a trade including him in the keeper league? (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 12:44 3
  - I did but I also saw that you asked for Pujols, who goes nowhere until he retires. -- nm - David Aug 3, 13:00 1
    - I had to try. It's not like I was offering magic beans. - musubi Aug 3, 13:04
  - Actually, on second thought, I might have cancelled that offer. (nM) - musubi Aug 3, 12:45
- out, 12 months is pretty cool because that way you can pick-up exactly where you left off. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:40 2
  - On the DL, swearing he didn't need surgery? -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:41
  - Only he's actually been out since May. -- nm - Ender Aug 3, 12:41

    - No, this was a fantasy league thing. -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:42
Email header: DO NOT OPEN! (Unless you want to have an orgasm...) -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:29 15
