bust beer can Catherine wheel.
not unusual for the crappy cans to pop a hole and start spraying as I pick them out of the case. This one, however, was a force to be reckoned with, so much so I dropped it in surprise whereupon the force of the spray was enough to make it spin on the floor, drenching EVERYTHING with beer as it went. everything. especially paperwork and my work clothes. motherfucker

The work clothes are no problem, just tell your cow orkers you've been moonlighting in a brewery.

It's child-butchering day in the library.
At least that's what I assume from the incessant screaming. Seriously, what could genuinely make a child shriek like that? And I know libraries have changed (sadly) but what sort of staff allow that? God give me a Gatling gun. Am hoping there'll be a BBQ later at least.

The shriekers are too stringy, give me a tubby couch potato slow cooked with cole slaw.

Update
I disconnected the tank and rolled it to the curb where it sat for a month. They finally came and got it. I spoke to the ex and told her that they should be refunding her for the unused gas. So I just heard from her that they sent her an invoice for $300.
I didn't follow up. but the company are assholes. Quote:

SEARS
Thursday morning I get up to no hot water. Tear the water heater apart and need parts. Now there used to be a SEARS parts place nearby but they’ve closed them all down. The only way to get parts now is online or on the phone. Since they use a bastard thread I have no choice, they don’t even reveal the actual manufacturer. Their computer system was screwed up so after filling out all the information it won’t process the order. So I call them up and they tell me the computer system is screwed up and they can’t do anything. I finally got into the system and placed the order 5AM Saturday morning. I checked off “expedited delivery” for $33 dollars extra, which was added to the total. Later Saturday morning I get an email saying they got my order, didn’t charge me the $33 dollars extra, and I’d have them Monday. On Sunday my plumber buddy came back from the shore and we went through his collection with no success. At the last minute he remembered he had an oddball for his camper and it fit. He also mentioned I stunk. Tuesday afternoon I get an email from SEARS saying my parts had shipped and I may get them today(Thursday). Fuck SEARS, never again.

I was poking fun at Sears not long ago on FB, but I was surprised at how many people still shop there.
Going to Sears was a big deal when I was a kid. We had a free-standing store not far from my house. Got most of my clothes there when I was younger. That store closed in the early 90s...and I don't think I've been in a Sears in 20+ years. I occasionally used to go to Kmart, but there aren't many left here in KC. |

Sears is good for finding the part number and then ordering the part online from somebody else like amazon for half the price.
Sears also carries Land's End clothes, which are decent. And you can order stuff from Land's End online and if it doesn't fit, the brick and mortar Sears will take the return. Also, when you abuse a Craftsman ratchet and break it, Sears will replace it, no questions asked. That's all I have to say about Sears. |

You can buy Craftsman at our Ace Hardware chain here in town. Don't know if all Aces do that now, but...yeah.
My ex-mother in law bought all her appliances through them...my father in law worked for them until he died, and she got to continue using his discount, which was nice. |

They came today. Now the wait for the bill to see if they charged me an extra $33 dollars.

A former cow-orker bike mechanic found a huge box of rusty craftsman wrenches at a tag sale. They were completely fucked and he had to scrape to see the craftsman name. He took the box to Sears and dumped them on the counter. The salesman gave him this look and asked, "Where the hell have these been?" My cow-orker told him, "It doesn't matter where they've been, they're here now." He ended up with a set of new wrenches for about $3.00
