the great speaker adventure is over. future shop reversed their decision about giving us the free second speaker. the whole thing was a complete clusterfuck. a few people managed to get the free second speaker but i was not one of them. i gave up and returned my speaker today. i picked up the 88 pound son of a bitch last night to see if i could carry it. it didn't seem too heavy but an hour later the groin muscle i pulled years ago started to ache so today i employed a different strategy. i flipped it end over end through our back yard to the mighty x5 and managed to get it into the back. at the parking lot i slid it out and started flipping it end over end toward the store. a few people offered to help me carry it but i was determined to give it a rough ride. once i entered the store i flipped it to customer service and was very vocal about what a bunch of fucking crooks they were. i got an additional $25 gift card for my troubles. so after all was said and done i ended up with $175 in gift cards and a sore groin. oh yeah, the lovely mrs myshkin will be saying "i told you so" for the next month or two.
i received a starbucks gift card for xmas. it put me in a tough spot, i've never bought a cup of coffee at starbucks and wanted to keep that record intact. luckily sonny told me that they were selling their christmas blend coffee beans at half price so guess what i bought!
so now it's official, i have more coffee than brains.
i love you sons of bitches.

Fucking AWESOME!
Wish I had your coffee problem.
I'd love to see the video of you flipping that speaker through the store. (btw, I think the Starbuck's coffee is pretty good, tho I've never been in one so I've never bought a cup either. The nearest one to me is like 50 miles. Burger King is closer and has great coffee. Found Starbuck's blends on sale at Ingle's 1uat)
Starbucks: WORST COFFEE EVER.
Good, a new post, at least you didn't get completely fucked on the speaker deal.
Never been in Future Shop, guess I'm not missing a hell of a lot.
I got a can of Yuban for 7.99 today, good price for here.
You really scored with the coffee beans. They do have good beans, though I have not tried their Christmas blend. I have tried other blends and loved them. I suppose its a matter of personal taste.
Poor groin muscle. =:[
I too would have liked to have seen a video of the speaker's return to the store. Ha!
galt - thanks! awesome is good.
bob - the speaker was upside down with a great big arrow saying "this side up". the funny thing is i really didn't want the speakers it was just such a good i couldn't resist. maybe next time.
leslie - most overpriced for sure but i won't pass judgement until i try the beans.
bill - future shop was bought out by best buy a few years ago so it' basically the same store. the sale staff at future shop are on commission so the service is a little better than best buy.
silly - the coffee beans were really overprice before the reduction, $18.99 for 16 oz so $9.50/pound isn't really a great deal but at least i got rid of the gift card.
Never was no Best Buy around here either. Just Staples and Office Depot over in Sequim. I've bought a few things at Staples over the years.
But I don't buy much fancy shit, I'm okay with my cheap ass Emachine and my 19 dollar cell phone.
Email me your physical address and I'll send you some good coffee.
BBC's got my email addy.
Sorry to hear about your speaker misadventure, but all's well that ends in a groin swell.
Email me your physical address and I'll send you some good coffee.
Why don't you just get the fuck over it and enjoy some regular coffee?
If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem.
Let me know how that works out for your kids in 30 years.
I can create solutions and problems... sometimes with the same actions.
Have a nice night, Cranky.
BBC's got my email addy.
Well, asshole, I have his email address because it's in his profile, if you want his fucking email address look at his fucking profile.
Sometimes Leslie hates it that I have her email address. No, I won't share it with you, we hate each other but I don't hate her so much that I will give it to the rest of you.
Somebody had an awesome Christmas. Hope the new year is going well, and the groin is doing better. Have a good one.
the last thing i want right now is more coffee. it's gonna take me months to get through the current supply. coffee futures rose 2.2 cents per pound today.
BBC~ You have no integrity, so don't act like you do. I don't hate that you have my email address, I hate that you use it.
Thimscool has had my email address for several years. It's an email address, not Obama's birth certificate.
And you might want to shut up about your regular coffee, Mr. Part of the Solution.
I didn't say Yuban is a good coffee for the environment, it's stupid to think any coffee is green even though some company's push their coffee as green.
The problem isn't that we drink coffee, the problem is that there is so many of us drinking it because the planet is over populated.
I only bought Yuban because it was the cheapest coffee on the shelf the other day, next time it will be a different brand.
BBC~ You have no integrity, so don't act like you do.
Super bitch has spoken.
Folgers - MJB - Western Family - Safeway - Yuban. I've bought all those brands in the last year or so simply based on price. And it's all just fucking coffee.
Ok, thanks for clarifying that you're too cheap to truly have a social conscience.
You should spend less time trying to call people out on shit, because you've shown time and again that you are completely full of it.
mr shife - awesome xmas might be a bit of a stretch but i have no complaints.
leslie - who gives a shit about your email address. they're a dime a dozen.
bill - i used to buy the no-name coffee and it was better than a lot of the brand names. maxwell house tastes like piss.
Ok, thanks for clarifying that you're too cheap to truly have a social conscience.
You truly are a stupid bitch. If someone tells you their coffee is green I guess you should believe it if believing so makes you feel better about drinking coffee.
Buy more expensive coffee if your ego need it, I don't give a fuck. They're cutting down forests to make more coffee (and co-co) because the world is over populated, it's that simple.
Helen is fine with my coffee and super bitch Leslie will never drink any of my coffee with me or comment on my blog again so I have that going for me also.
Anyone wanting to claim a social conscience should not buy coffee at all and just drink tea they grow at home.
Frankly, I’m sick and tired of most of humanity and would greatly enjoy it if half of them died off, I’m pretty damn sure that would make the world a better place also.
I brew my coffee weak so a can of it lasts me some time, it’s not about the taste to me, I just want something warm to sip on in the morning, out of years of habit I guess.
Try some boiled Eye of Newt.
You had kids and helped overpopulate, so you can STFU on that topic as well, hypocrite.
Coffee beans, groins, and speakers.
Good start to 2012.
Always a treat to come by and read you, bp.
So much nicer than reading the newspapers.
I would have paid good money to see you flipping that fucker thru the store..made my day..
I wish I drank coffee...it smells so great...but man..tastes like camel piss.
I'm always pulling on MY groin muscle, I don't see the problem?
bill - i like my coffee good and strong. we better ask thimscool if coffee should be strong or weak.
shaw - yeah, but can you please tell your bruins to quit beating up on my canucks. marchand should get at least 10 games for that dirty hit on salo.
yellowodog - i'm surprised that you don't drink coffee! you would have been proud of the f-bombs i let loose in the store!
hugh - is that how you got the giant e-rekshonn. very clever name, i'm embarrassed that it took me so long to figure it out.
Leslie... Fuck you, I was here before you were and I clearly don’t die easy, get your stupid ass off my planet, your parents would have done the world a favor by not making you. But at least they compensated for it by getting off the rock themselves.
And we all know I had kids, but only two, a mistake in retrospective.
A social conscious today wouldn’t look like it did a hundred years ago when the rock was less populated. I guess if I had a true social conscious I would go to South America and kill all the sons a bitches ripping up the forests so they can grow more coffee and co-co, and then go to the gulf and kill all those sons a bitches drilling for oil, etc, etc. Then I’d come home and make my own beer and drink tea I grew and use a dog team to get around. To save humanity there has to be a hell of a lot less of it.
Oh well, those that are here in forty years aren’t going to be enjoying the experience anyway so to hell with it.
It’s true that my taste buds aren’t much good anymore, having once stuck my tongue in a woman like Leslie, so my choice of coffee these days don’t make any difference. :-)
I’m going to sign off and watch the second disc of Deadwood now, she can splatter her spittle here without me.
bill - have fallen in love with deadwood yet?
Well, Deadwood is a fuck or killing a minute of non stop action and attitude. On to disc three tomorrow.
But the pigs eat well.
i knew you'd like it.
"so now it's official, i have more coffee than brains" - Well at least the caffeine will speed that process up.
