Corporations are good!

So, Dairy Queen, GEICO, Fruit of the Loom, and World Book Encyclopedia are owned by the same company. Who knew?

It's fun to learn stuff.

That's it. It's done, it's over. See you in '08.

Today is the day that you showed me where your true loyalties lie. You don't look out for anyone but yourself. And that will be your undoing. Every time you ask for my help from now on, I'll mention how you decided to throw a fit instead of come to my aid.

You will never forget what happened on August 12, 2007. Because I won't let you.

Caveat emptor

For those of you who do not know Latin: Let the Buyer Beware.

Do not buy a set of golf clubs from a company that does not have an operational web site or a phone number on the box when you want to make a warranty claim. It's a lesson I'm learning the hard way this summer (the first of hopefully many spent on the links). Maybe it's what I get for a $200 set of clubs. And I understand that golf is not a cheap sport; I also play hockey, and that was also an initial investment of $300+ to get started. But if the name of your product includes the word "Durable", then they should last me more than three months.

Conversely, kudos to the folks at Mills Fleet Farm for giving me a new 3 Wood when mine broke. Twice. Excellent customer service has diminshed, but not removed, the bitter taste this experience has left me.

They're pulling me back in!!

Ever since I decided to stop playing World of Warcraft, at the end of January 2007, some of my in-game friends have been constantly asking me when I'm coming back.

Well, here's your answer: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath/.

It'll be at least a year until it comes out. But I'll be ready. I owe that little whiny pussy, Arthas, a SERIOUS beating.
