When Bazzukajoe typed "pot pie" did he say it out loud in Ren's voice? Cheecken pot piiiiie. I know I did each time I wrote it.

I went to Beast Buy just now to pick up a few things. Everything I was looking for they didn't have. So once I was done not finding the stuff I needed, I looked around for the stuff I didn't need. And I think seven different employees approached me to ask me if I needed any help. The first guy was at least helpful -- he told me flat out, they didn't have a bluetooth mouse (any bluetooth mouse, forget the particular model I wanted).

So I paced around looking at other stuff.

"Can I help you find something, sir?"

"No, you don't got it."

That repeated several times. The last few times I wasn't very polite. I suppose they do that stuff thinking it'll be good for business. But whatever they do in the Cleveland area is, almost by definition, not good for business.

Berea-Rose has gotten some warm weather the last few days. That ends tonight. The cold is on its way. I stopped in World Market before Beast Buy and was pleased to see the Christmas stuff out. I was tempted to buy a few boxes of pannetone -- what the hell, it's not like they'll be bringing in any fresher inventory between now and the holiday.
