the 25 snarks of Christmas!

I'm going to try something new this year, and I'm going to have to commit to this and be online every day until Christmas Day to do this. I've got these two tapes full of Christmas cartoon specials from the 80s that my mom and my grandma taped for me when I was a kid. Some contain classics (like "Rudolph" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas"), and some are just lolz-worthy ("A Fat Albert Christmas" and "A He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special" come to mind). So I'm going to try to get around to snarking on 25 of these holiday gems.

And for those of you yelling at the computer screen going, "SO WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GET BACK TO SNARKING ON JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS?!"....I'll get that up tomorrow night. I promise! *blushes* I've been so bad about it. I told myself that spending so much time in front of my computer wasn't healthy; I can only refresh ohnotheydidnt so many times before I get bored, and my computer chair was starting to develop a butt-groove. (I even have a Baby-Sitters Club book snark left at bsc_snark that I have to finish up.)

it's been a sad weekend in Lowell, Indiana

Lowell High School's football team lost state.

I don't want to post about this at customers_suck, but I need to rant

The only reason I'm not posting about this over there is because I know I've bitched about it before, but someday I may write a book about my experiences working in a grocery store.

You're in the grocery store, and you get in line at a register to be rang up. There is someone in front of you who already has an order on the conveyor belt. What do you do before you put your stuff on the belt?

A) Absolutely nothing.
B) Put a divider up.

If you selected A, you're an idiot. Why? Because the cashier--being too busy paying attention to what he/she is ringing up for the previous order--will not know where the current order ends and yours begins. If he/she ends up ringing up your order with the previous order, it's your damn fault for not putting a divider up between the orders.

If you selected B, you're smart! I can't get mad at you because you did the right thing!

Dividers--they're there for a reason. USE THEM!

this will be the end of me bitching about "Snow White," I promise

Hey, remember this rant?

So what is up with this?!



This came out last week. A 2-disc DVD set without the Blu-Ray disc. Which was what I originally wanted when they put it out last month!



Yeah, Kevin ended up getting me a Blu-Ray player because of this problem, and I'm not complaining. But wow. What a kick in the ass, you know?
