Meanwhile in my inbox

So I'm waiting on the last 2 books on RoyJr's list to arrive, right? These books, btw were notoriously annoying to obtain - three are out of print and took forever coming to me. Anyway, I ordered the last two last week so I could finish that project up... did it through B&Ns so I could apply my member discount, and ordered them used, so the orders were routed through resellers.

Anyway, I get this email this morning from one of them:

Hey Andee,

We're just checking in to see if you received your order ( No Sweetness Here and Other Stories ) from Better World Books. If your order hasn't blessed your mailbox just yet, heads are gonna roll in the Mishawaka warehouse! Seriously though, if you haven't received your order or are less than 108.8% satisfied, please reply to this message. Let us know what we can do to flabbergast you with service.

Humbly Yours,

Indaba (our super-cool email robot)


The very idea of being "flabbergasted with service" is making me gigglesnnrrk like hell right now. (Also made me think of 11th_letter.) I always appreciate people not being boring with their email bots.

ETA: holy crap, yesterday's drunk post was epic.

It's okay, you can be a single lady too

I feel bad for collapsing on the floor howling with laughter at this, but I am. REPEATEDLY.

ETA: in other youtube or it didn't happen news, may I present my mad fool of a boyfriend singing "Gay Bar" at PAX East?
