In response to an entry by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) peace873 , I'd like to add on to the story. :) So I printed off these KFC coupons from their website for two pieces grilled chicken, two sides, and a biscuit for free. They greatly underestimated the response they would have from the promotion. I went there yesterday on the first day of the redemption period at 1pm. I was told that they were only doing 100 per day—first come, first serve. Annoying, but, eh, okay. So today I come in at 11am. I was going to get me my free lunch! On the door, as I'm walking in, I see the following notice: "Dear Valued Customer,
Due to the overwhelming demand for our FREE Kentucky Grilled Chicken meal, we're unable to offer it to you today. Rest assured that we will honor our commitment to giving you a free meal and we hope you'll accept this rain check with our sincerest apologies!
Please fill out this form, attach your coupon, and we'll send you a coupon for your free meal at a later date, plus a free Pepsi with our compliments.
Thank you for your understanding,
Roger Eaton
KFC President" So, now I have to send in these mail-in-rebates, or given them to the a team member at a KFC. Dude...it is only the second day of this promotion. My thoughts: Okay, if you are like, "Hey, lets give away some free shit of our new product!", then perhaps consider how many you are wanting to give out ... I'm just saying. You had to print it off their website. Put a limit on how many could be printed. Perhaps the first 25,000 or 100,000. Then shut down the site with a "thanks for looking into our free shit, sorry, but your ass shoulda gotten here sooner to print off the coupon" kind of message. Check out the video apology. It's amusing.

I realize a lot of my posts lately are of this nature. I apologize. But, I have to share these... Regarding the mom of the octuplets... Octuplets mom gets TV, book offers to tell storyA key paragraph in this story that annoys the fuck out of me every time I read/hear it. "Suleman, a 33-year-old single mother, already had six children, ages 2 to 7 when she gave birth to her octuplets on Jan. 26."
Seriously, what the fuck??? Octuplets mom getting outrage rather than giftsApparently she is a bit pissy about not getting offered anything. What, did she have all these kids to make money/fame?? Government getting all up in our business... Mich. dad told to pay for child's birth or wed momNow, don't get me wrong... I think it is appropriate for a mother and father to pay for the cost of having a baby. I'm okay with the state trying to recoup the costs so as to keep it off the taxpayers shoulders. However, the ultimatum of pay or wed...what the fuck is that shit? Who are they to demand such a thing? Fuck government...fuck them in their asses. Keep the fuck out of my life! More on the amusing front of things... Thank you porn! 12 ways the sex trade has changed the webThat is all...

So, Saturday night, some friends of mine were meeting up for some wine and hangout time. I had thought about joining up with them, but finding a babysitter isn't easy most times. I get a call around midnight telling me some of the details and it sounds like a lot of fun was being had. I decided, fuck it, I want to go out. So I track down one of the people I use for babysitting online. She agreed to come over even though it was 1230am or so (she works second shift so had only been home an hour and was still up—I'm not that big of an asshole as to have woken her up!). She shows up, and I head out around 100-115am. I'm driving up Providence heading towards downtown. I'm in the right lane and passing in front of Hardee's through the intersection and in front of the Phillips 66. Given that it is pretty much 'Beer Thirty', I should have probably been on my top guard and in the *left* lane, but I've never had this happen before! So, this red Chevy Blazer decides to make a left turn out of Phillips 66 onto Providence (going south). He stops but like, two feet into my lane as I'm coming up at 35-40 mph. I swerve (thank God there wasn't anyone in the other lane) to the left and avoid a head-on collision. However, he hits my front right fender and all the way down the side of my car. I pull over into the Bloomers parking lot. I hear something rubbing my tire, so I stop and get out. I look up in time to see the red Chevy Blazer that had just pulled out in front of me, tear out of there like a bat out of hell and travel south. ( Read more if you want - sorry for the book! )
Edit: From the Tribune - David Anthony Pease, 23, of 4313 Glen Eagle Drive, leaving the scene of an accident, $4,500 bond. He is the only listing for one of the three charges during the time frame, so I assume it is him. If you know him, tell him to have his girlfriend get her insurance info over to the police today, or else she will be cited too. I will be taking my car in tonight or tomorrow for an estimate. Joy. :P

Yet another reason I don't have pets...
As sent via email:
Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued. Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: the water meter, outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc., all to no avail.
One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running downstairs. He finally got out of his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of the bills. Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at home.
Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the 'problem' for posterity...

Okay, I know this isn't most likely the real story, but its amusing. :)
