Duncan Gets Promotion to Captain
“Kitten is First of His Kind to Receive Promotion” – Daily Planet News
An early morning press conference was held this morning by Admiral Zookeepith to announce the changes.
“First I’d like to congratulate Duncan, he’s the youngest of his kind to ever be promoted to Captain! So congratulations Captain Catastrophe!”
“As part of his new position Captain Catastrophe will receive his own ship, the Starship Total Destruction! He’ll embark on his first mission with Captain Underfoot of the Starship Move-It and Princess Fur Flub of the planet Blob. Their mission: To create chaos and destruction throughout the galaxy.”
“Captain Catastrophe has worked hard to earn this new position, many months of hard labour rocketing objects off of shelves, counters and sometimes conquering great heights in order to complete his missions. In order to qualify for this promotion Captain Catastrophe had to prove his worth in the field by mastering survival tasks such as hunting and fishing as well as the ability to take down anything in his path and battle stronger larger opponents. Captain Catastrophe accomplished these tasks with great skill and fierce strength. We wish him luck in his future missions.”
4 commentsOur month of customer service hell continues
So yesterday the “check engine soon” light came on in my little 8 year old Neon.
“Damn you little wreched beast!” I say.
So I take the car over to Parkway Chrysler and say “Can you tell me whats wrong with my bastard car, oh and ignore this, and this, and this…I already know those things are broken.”
So I get into the shuttle van and this smelly old Irish man starts yelling at me all the way back to Jasons office, he was upset that he had to drive me so far, that was fun. Good customer service.
Later they call me back and say
“Your ignition coil, wires and plugs need to be replaced, it’ll be about $900″.
“Damn!” I say “I just replaced all of those things!”
“Well” he says “everything is rusted”.
“Fine, I’m going to pick up and bring it to my mechanic in the morning”
So this morning I took the little bastard car down to Wally at Sentinal Automotive in Milton (905-878-8066) and he putters with it a while and says “Those dumb idiots are morons (or something to that extent), you’ve got one bad spark plug wire, here I fixed it.”
“You mean Chrystler told me I needed $900 worth of work when all I needed was one new wire?”
The moral of this long and boring tale is that Parkway Chrysler is the devil……or more generally Chrysler is the devil.
And if you need a mechanic I suggest you visit Sentinal Auto in Milton (On Bronte Rd. north of Derry Rd) and see Wally or Steve.

2 commentsDon’t Use Zip.ca
After being a customer of Zip.ca for the past 18 months it’s time to kiss them good bye. Why? Because, Canada post lost my returned DVDs. Who’s responsible? Apparently I am. So screw you Zip, I’m not paying for the lost DVDs, take it yup with Canada post. Maybe this guy knows where your DVDs are because I sure as hell don’t. Given the 100+ DVDs I’ve already returned to you why on earth would I keep a scattered set of DVDs from various TV series? You could have had more of my business, and I’d probably continue to recommend you to others, but not anymore.

2 commentsMario Unleashed
My buddy Nick showed me this video. It is absolutely fabulous. Especially if you’re a gamer but impressive even if you’re not. Watch the video via Google Video, as some high school kids perform various themes from Mario games, it’s very well done.
