Is that the finger that Swedes use to pull the trigger?
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

He had his account suspended on Facebook because his name was considered fake/offensive.

It's pronounced "Phoo Da Bi," apparently.

Got a memo from a client wishing to have a complete description of the regulatory situation in Canada concerning the sale of their products.

The only description of said products: "... I have been told that we have both meat analog products and non-meat analog products. What we need is to have a complete understanding of what is needed to bring such products into Canada".  :hmm:

I was sorely tempted to write back that everything in the universe either is, or is not, a meat analog product, so this description was not terribly helpful ... but I restrained myself.  ;) I merely sought clarification of what the latter products were.

In-house counsel. Gotta love 'em.   :D

No, again. They will eventually have to do it like their American peers, go bankrupt and thus get rid of their pension claims. This situation is not sustainable.

I have a stuck Amazon delivery. For two weeks now its status has been "in transit." It's one of those deliveries they send by normal mail service instead of package, so I can't track it. I've asked Amazon, they said I should contact the mail service. The mail service says they can't help, I need to talk to Amazon.

Meanwhile, my new SSD is lost in the space between spaces, it seems, and I can't even cancel the order.

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.

Not sure I like the idea of customer service departments making snappy comebacks and trying to go viral, even if it is funny. The change in posture might spill over to people making legitimate complaints.  :hmm:

Iirc that was a fake account and not actually Campbell's. There were plenty around when this was first on the buzz sites.

That is a famous (notorious?) troll who pretends to be a customer service rep for various companies in order to rile up right wingers.
