Situation: Geek Squad fucks coming over Monday morning to install ginormous TV.

Possible mitigating factors: It is an early anniversary gift from the wife.

Possible flashpoint: They are charging 400 bucks to install the fucker. I'll be home.

Take you bets.

I'm betting on the 15 minute mark.  Somehow, their annoying vehicles will not annoy you as much, but the second they start talking you will be driven by your inner rage at their uselessness.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Unless you aren't able to transport the TV yourself the Geek Squad is a waste. Just glorified delivery boys. You should be able to figure out how to set it up yourself.

On second thought, how ginormous are we talking? You might need the Geeks for coolie labor.

I once was in the mad house with one of those fellows.  Seemed nice enough.  A little funny in the head though.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Are you an Oregonian too?

I always get pissed off at the people who come to work on my house.  Cable guy, phone guy, meter reader, they all seem to be idiots.

Holy crap that's enormous! :worthy:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

You will be able to see every buttock zit and vaginal wart of porn actresses on that one. Sometimes bigger is NOT better.

I dunno, the Geeks never bothered me.  Sure, they all look like members of Green Day, but they seem to know their shit.

In the room it is going in, no porn. Opening 25 minutes of Saving Private Ryan, yes.

Voted straight away.

If "Chuck" is anything to go by, and since it's televised I am 100% certain that it is, those guys are untolerable.

I'm surprised the one Best Buy actually told the truth and fixed it for free.   :blink:

I'm not.  Just because some people at their stores are unscrupulous dicks doesn't mean they all are.  Individual employees can be very helpful/honest.
