So Brooks Brothers. They were having a sale and whenever a company has a sale I use it to stock up on things like underoos and undershirts. Well, I got an assload of under shirts and boxer briefs all in size Medium. I guess I am about a size medium? Well the shirts were good, however the boxer briefs, while fitting nicely in the waist had a gigantic rise, where I had to pull them up to my nipples to get them to fit. No big deal, I will exchange them in-store.
Well, they wouldn't exchange the pair that I tried on. I find this kind of bullshit especially when there is no mention of returns of undergarments. I also asked them how I was supposed to know if they fit. They referred me to their size charts, which I did, in fact consult. I don't them obviously they don't work. So now I have a giant pair of boxerbriefs. Also, this is the same Brooks Brothers that I went into looking for socks a few months back and they directed me to a drawer with 2 pairs of argyle socks. :angry:
So basically, **** Brooks Brothers. **** brick and mortar large stores. I wish my tailor could get some jersey material and make me undershirts and boxer briefs so I don't have to waste my time and money.


Didn't you make this same "**** BB" rant after the argyle socks tragedy?

Warehouse/Garden Centre two different aminals. Why does the spell checker not like 'centre'?


I've never been to a "Garden Centre," so all of my experience is in the warehouse context. They really are crazy.

Spell checkre doesn't like "centre" because it is bettre to put the e before the r. Whethre or not this news makes you bittre, that's just how it be.

I get drug tested at work.


Odd. Although I imagine most companies have a clause they can drug test at random. I don't think I've ever known someone at my company be randomly drug tested. I was only tested for the initial pre-employment screening when I first got out of college.

One thing that pissed me off many times FOX NEWS!

It is random. I have been tested about 4 or 5 times over the course of 4 years that I have been with the company. I think it is bullshit, and it is very expensive for the company to do as well.

Yes, but the expense is worth it because now they can be sure you're not smoking marijuana on your own time. And that is very important because...umm...uhh...just very important all told, ya know?

the rice works both ways: it'll either absorb the excess fluids or it'll release water into the colon if needed. white rice is a faster absorber/releaser so stick with the white rice for now. you don't have to eat like an AZN forever (because it'll eventually increase your sneaky-ness and analytical thinking) but once you go back to normal bowel movements you can go back to your old assplosion diet.

bread can theoretically work - but with all the faggotty gluten allergies M'ericans have developed in the last 20 years - you don't want to take any chances... white rice allergies still hasn't happened amongst this great Estadios Unidos.... yet...

I often run tests (i.e., hire spies) to see if my employees are having sexual relations with unattractive partners. If so, that would hurt their morale and affect their job performance. I can't have employees like that. If the partners are attractive, but not very good in bed, they just get a warning.
