First of all, I had planned to apologize for my recent blog entries being very bland and non-interesting. I guess nothing intersting is really happening these days. Also, I must have lost my muse b/c I'm just too darn uninspired to come up with anything.
But driving home tonight I did think of something real quick......but first I need to get something else out of the way.
Just a few minutes ago I checked comingsoon.net and saw that Don Knotts died today. The world has lost a legend. What's interesting is that just last week the 5th season of the Andy Griffith show came out on DVD.......it was Don Knotts' last season on the show.
Kind of a fond farewell to a friend, just a week early. Prophetic.
Also, Darrin McGavin died as well (helping contribute to the "celebrities die in groups of 3" theory....wonder who's next?). You know who this guy is.....just can't place him? For one, he was the dad in 'A Christmas Story,' plus lots of other stuff.
-----------------
Ever wonder why you have to give your phone number or zip code when you buy something at, say, BestBuy?
Me too....I don't want to google it right now, but I'm curious. I'm also curious what would happen if you just refused to give it. If you are paying cash, there is absolutely no reason you should be refused service (refused giving money to THEM) or turned away.
I think that sometime soon, after I pay, and it seems like a 'cool' person, I'll just ask if they know why BestBuy needs my information. Why do they need to know what I'm buying? I mean, they have receipts....so they know what products are being bought....so why would they have to know what products are being bought by ME?
It's eerily 1984ish.
I'll ask sometime and try not to sound like an asshole. And I'll ask as I'm about to leave so they don't get defensive about it. You know, in that "Just Curious...." tone of voice.
