Just started here, dcp! Cool down, please god.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oy, Matt.
Here's why I can never finish my CSA stuff: Last night I didn't even have dinner, and tonight I had one ear of corn and some ice cream. Oops.
Gotta join that Community-Supported Ice Creamery.
This is the best thing Paul Rudd ever did: [link] (kinda made his career, maybe)
ETA: have JGL lovers seen Brick? He's very noir in that.
Stripper applied and wrapped in plastic. I need to get more plastic soon.

And The Lookout.
I have seen Brick and The Lookout. And Mysterious Skin.
Clearly I need to see all three of those.
Have to share. Can't stop laughing. A story of Customer Service, as related to me this evening:
Stupid Customer: You overcharged me, and I want a refund. I bought two [items] and I got charged $196!
My friend Mike: Sir, [item] is $98. Each.
SC: I know that! I was charged the wrong amount! Don't you understand?
M: But, sir, two [items] at $98 each is $196.
SC: That's not right!
M (with the patience of Job): If you bought two [items] that were $100 each, that would have been $200, right? $98 is two dollars less than a hundred, so two of them is four dollars less than two hundred. Thus, $196.
SC: "Don't try to confuse me!"
M: Well, how much do you think it should be?
SC: About $120.
M: $120 would have been two $60 things. You didn't buy two $60 things. You bought two $98 things.
SC: I know that! Are you going to refund my money?
M: Well, no.
SC: I want to speak with your supervisor!
M: I AM the supervisor. I'm the manager of Marketing.
SC: Well, you're doing a terrible job! I want my money back, or I'm going to take you to court!
M: Good luck with that, sir. Enjoy paying your attorney.
Even better, SC is a wholesaler with his own business. "Don't try to confuse me!" was my favorite part.
