The way of the Future… Uhm, or the past?

Well, don’t think they aren’t working on that…

Glad i’m not on that list.

Columbia House on steroids

They use TARDIS EXPRESS, when it absolutely has to be there before you send it.

And I returned it a day before they discovered I didn’t.

Yikes! I just googled slang for Yams.

As long as it comes with a Return Authorization cause maybe I need it but I don’t want it !

I guess Bleeb is In the box?

This way, when you return it, they don’t have to refund you anything.

Maybe Bleeb doesn’t like yams.

“Amazon’s here… and this looks to be a life size, blow-up… ooh, I swear I didn’t order that, I didn’t even think about ordering that!”

ALEXA-AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

But still takes about 4-6 weeks right? Lol

I yam what I yam.

OY!

That’s called “marketing”: Making people believe they not only want, but must have, your product. The diamond industry was founded on it. Remember the song, “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”?

Or in some cases, many years.

We’re seriously to the point where we can’t remember what is in the box when an order arrives!

How thoughtful!

Delicious Yam Treats sounds like an oxymoron to me.

I miss Bleep!

Today Amazon tells me “out of stock” on an order I’ve been waiting on for THREE WEEKS and it was supposed to DELIVER TODAY! Not a good way to conduct business IMO.

Because artificial intelligence isn’t real intelligence.

I’m waiting for my turnip twatteler.

Seriously, I have placed an order in the morning and it arrived that evening. I felt guilty, actually.

So, from my comment today on Andy Capp (we have a theme today, folks):

Do you ever get the idea that the consumer culture is having to try harder and harder to sell us — whether sell us on goods, or sell us on the consumer culture?

Fortunately I just get the e-mails, don’t have to return those.

Yesterday’s dragon may have roasted Bleeb along with those s’mores.

we miss him

Yamazon.

Uh-Oh. The word’s out, Popeye the Sailor Man has switched from spinach to yams. Says “I Yams what I Yams!”

It’s going to be a lot more than 2 days before I want that!
