The world is running low on decent scams. This is how revolutions start, you know! Just paid those smiling THIEVES at the Dal bookstore 291.91 for 3 fucking books. There's one other bastard book I need to buy. I thought I'd hold off and see if I can get it cheaper... maybe you didn't hear me two-HUNDRED and NINETY-one bastard dollars! equals THREE mother-fucking books... anyway I go on-line thinking amazon or whatever will have it cheaper. nope. once you include shipping and handling... (what the hell is 'handling'? really, come on, Listen bub, I'll give you half and how about you JUST ship it, no handling, I don't want you to even look at it, ok, arsehole! I just payed 99.99 for that thing I'm making damn sure I'M the first one to HANDLE it OK!?) ...same. I was shocked. but but but what happened to the scams?
There is supposed to ALWAYS be a cheaper way, someway for the poor and starving to totally inconvenience and deeply humiliate themselves to get what they need but can't afford. My understanding is that's the way this whole crazy system worked. Not anymore. they just keep hiking tuition, books, rent and giving us less and less student loan cash. It blows, I'd been out of touch I didn't know how bad it's gotten. It's gotten 291.91 = 3 books bad and 6,500 = 5 credits bad. I'm stunned.
If I could have downloaded them like so many MP3s I would have been laughing, truly, for the Irony in stealing a book on Computer Ethics off the internet would not be lost on me. (Once more to Clarify almost 300 damn dollars) I would revel in it.
That's the scam... The Internet: free porn, free music, free phone calls, free mail, free movies, free information, free publishing, free you-fuckin-name it. The problem with the internet, is when you need it, it lets you down. I think that's built-in. I can send 40 mindless, rambling e-mails a day all over the world but when I have one important file to a client or supplier. fucked. I might as well call the pony express:
me: (whispering) pssst...I need this book it's called "Single Variable Calculus Concepts and Contexts, Second Edition."
Internet: (as the announcer from the Price is Right.) Big tittie barely legal lesbo golden showers, comin' up!
me: no no no not this time. I need a PDF of this book.
Internet: How about a PDF of the Commodore 64 user guide in ASCI or perhaps as a text file?
me: sure sure ok but I also need a PDF of "Single Variable Calculus Concepts and Contexts, Second Edition."
Internet: Can I interest you in a few pop-up windows?
me: um...
Internet: Aren't these new emoticons SO cute...
me: uh...
Internet: Did you know that you are our 50,000,000th visitor! That gives you a free prize!
me: no, look. i NEED this. it's 134.04 in the bookstore.
Internet: DId you try Amazon.com? You know, they are the largest on-line retailer in...
me: Yeah I know. OK. Look just find me the fucking PDF.
Internet: Big tittie barely legal lesbo golden shower, comin' up!
me: I don't want PORN! Look this is important, fuck-head.
Internet: Hey looky here... NEW MAIL!
me: Oh Really!? Cool! Who is it?
Internet: It's a GIRRRRRR-LLL!
me: Lemmie see, outa tha way!
Today's Song of the Day is 'Stuart' by The Dead Milkmen off their 1988 Album 'Beelzebubba.'
Crazy Fact: Guitarist and vocalist Joe Jack Talcum (born Joe Genaro) and lead singer Rodney Anonymous (aka Rodney Amadeus Anonymous, aka Rodney Anonymous Melloncamp, born Rodney Linderman) grew up together in the small Pennsylvania town of Wagontown. During high school, Genaro started writing a newsletter about a fictional band called the Dead Milkmen, and the exploits of its lead singer Jack Talcum.
