The Lord kills
Aug. 31st, 2005 11:00 amThe things I have to say today don't really relate to each other, so I might as well use the numbered list trick again.
1. Yesterday, Borders sent me an e-mail saying I'd get a coupon if I filled out a survey within the next two days. When I clicked on the link to the survey, I got a message saying they'd already received all the responses they needed. But two days hadn't passed, and there was no indication in the e-mail that only a limited number of respondents would be eligible. (If they had, I probably would have gotten to it more quickly.) That's pretty jerky on their part, isn't it?

bethje and I are both on a mailing list for Six Flags. Since Great Adventure is the closest Six Flags park, we get mailings related to it, which makes sense. The odd thing is that we also both get mailings pertaining to Elitch Gardens. I looked it up today, and it turns out that's in Denver. If I may use an Internet shorthand colloquialism, WTF?
3. I wish Beth and I had gotten a picture of the crazy van that we saw in the Wal-Mart parking lot yesterday. It had fire-and-brimstone-style religious messages written all over it (including my personal favorite, "The Lord kills") in multiple colors. It sort of reminded me of a graffiti-covered wall, and made us wonder how he could see out of the windows. My description can't really do it justice. Then, when we were entering the place, we saw the guy who must have owned the van, since he was wearing a T-shirt advertising the same religious radio station that the van was. (This was, incidentally, the station run by Harold Camping, whom I've ranted about before.)
4. Last night, we watched Stella, and then some more Season 6 Simpsons episodes with commentary. There was a pretty funny deleted scene from "Bart's Comet," showing Bart looking at a copy of Ranger Rick that had been censored by Ned Flanders.
5. Finally, I just woke up from a dream where I went to some psychiatrist (possibly inspired by last night's Stella?) in Philadelphia, and she was asking questions that she didn't explain very well. Like, she'd ask me to rate my reaction to a certain situation, and then then say "1 or 2?", without telling me which one was a stronger reaction. Then, when I had finished with her, I tried to drive back home, but I couldn't find the way. My car eventually changed into a bicycle, and then I was on foot.
6. ( Here's a quiz result. )
