Just had one of those Microsoft Scam phone calls. There's a thread in the FFA about it... and I wish I had remembered the guy's method for dealing with it- IIRC, it involved getting them to stay on the line as long as possible while the FBG went about his normal day. Some funny #### along the way. Wish I had remembered that in the moment of the call.

After the initial, This is Steve from Microsoft, there seems to be a problem with your compute, I felt like there was something about this Indian/S Asian guy that sounded kind of lonely...

- Are you lonely, Steve?

- Has anybody else been on your computer?

- Are you feeling lonely, Steve?

- If not... excuse me?

- It's ok to feel lonely. I'm feeling kind of lonely too.

- ummm.,, your computer might be exper..

- what are you wearing?

- excuse me?

- what are you wearing?

from that point I responded to everything he said in the manner of the Katz's Deli scene from When Harry Met Sally (I'll have what she's having), starting with quiet "oh", and building up to "OHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHH!!!" over the course of the next minute or so. Before I could finish, he hung up.

Guys, I know everyone is excited about Little Michael Jordan Romo's arrival this weekend, but I need you to focus on my fantasy baseball team. I have 6 starting pitchers going this weekend. Send your good vibes this way.

Is YSR pregnant? Does Tanner hate everything? Is Homer drunk?

Aaron, welcome to the Rose City! I am wearing our Buffalo Bill colours today. Well, a blue shirt matched up against my milky white skin.

I honestly want to punch anybody that thinks "Guardians of the Galaxy" is great right in their dorito-holder.

Shocking development here

Serious question. Have a party to go to in a couple of weeks and want to get the hostess a gift. It's also her birthday around the same time. Really coming up short on what to get her. Any real ideas? TIA

William Robert

I have a good friend who named his kid this. But he's half Mexicaned so they call him Guillermo.

Named William Robert, lives in Texas, and NOT called Billy Bob? Traveshamockery!

First we'll need to know less about her and your relationship to her.

Does she like bagels? Maybe a really good bagel with a hot dog.

 

[Osaurus]

Want to keep it under $50. All other details irrelevant except no booze.

 

[Osaurus]

Going to go get blood drawn. I better see suggestions when I get back!

 

[Fuller]

Still looking for Guster's invite to me on Spotify. I don't see it anywhere. Not sure I'm doing this right.

Been listening to a lot of Ravi Shanker recently on Spotify.

 

[General Malaise]

Bowling bag?

Give her a goody bag from the Red Cross.

booze

 

[General Malaise]

Portland does BBQ about as well as it does Mexican food, but Podnah's is great. Now, would I stand in line for two hours like they do in Austin? I would not. Would I drive 90 minutes to eat there? I perhaps would.

Little known fact: Podnah's serves up a terrific Bloody Mary, enjoyed by Texas Swedes and Albino Winos alike.

Don't know where to begin with how wrong this all is, but I did ask for it. Just don't want to end up with some lame gift card.
