Anchorage. Chumby’s Anchored Down in Anchorage.

ByNalts

My damned “expedited” Chumby is stuck in Anchorage (see UPS). For four days. You Chumby folks will get some good videos out of this if you send a couple extra ones.

Stupid Anchorage. Her reply came from Anchorage, Alaska. It’s been over two years now my old friend.

I took time out to write to my old friend
I walked across that burning bridge
Mailed my letter off to Dallas
But her reply came from Anchorage, Alaska

She said: “Hey girl, it’s about time you wrote
It’s been over two years you know, my old friend
Take me back to the days of the foreign telegrams
And the all-night rock and rollin’… hey Shell
We was wild then

Hey Shell, you know it’s kind of funny
Texas always seemed so big
But you know you’re in the largest state in the union
When you’re anchored down in Anchorage

Hey Girl, I think the last time I saw you
Was on me and Leroy’s wedding day
What was the name of that love song they played?
I forgot how it goes
I don’t recall how it goes

Anchorage
Anchored down in Anchorage

Leroy got a better job so we moved
Kevin lost a tooth now he’s started school
I got a brand new eight month old baby girl
I sound like a housewife
Hey Shell, I think I’m a housewife

Hey Girl, what’s it like to be in New York?
New York City – imagine that!
Tell me, what’s it like to be a skateboard punk rocker?

Leroy says “Send a picture”
Leroy says “Hello”
Leroy says “Oh, keep on rocking, girl”
“yeah, keep on rocking”

Hey Shell, you know it’s kind of funny
Texas always seemed so big
But you know you’re in the largest state in the union
When you’re anchored down in Anchorage
Oh, Anchorage
Anchored down in Anchorage
Oh, Anchorage

No wonder. Look who they put in charge of shipping.

Debunking the Mythical Value of a Video “Subscriber”

ByNalts

Fifteen years ago I worked at a small newspaper in Georgetown. I was on the editorial side, but I used to hear my colleagues on the “dark” side of advertising boast about our subscription rates. They were 3 times the quantity of newspapers we printed each week! I asked our chief lying officer (CLO) about…

Boss Takes Highly Personal Calls With Subordinate Waiting

ByNalts

In this video titled “Hang On,” a boss takes a series of highly personal calls and keeps his employee waiting awkwardly. For an online video, it has a better-than-usual story, camera work and “punch” at the end. More of a “sketch comedy” feel than viral video, but done by amateurs. I think we’ll see more…

  1. You know, Kevin, if you check your tracking number more than once per day, it slows down the shipment. Every time you click on the tracking link, a tracking elf has to physically go find the package and report back to tracking headquarters. So resist the urge to track.

  2. Notice where it got bogged down. Billing information. I’m telling you, those overdrawn credit cards are coming back to bite you in the butt.

  3. It’s a sign that you don’t need the f*cking thing!

    Is it me, or is this blog super slllllloooooooowwwwwww today?

  4. I think the whole Internet is slow. I thought it was just my school’s server, but I think it’s the heat. The Internet thinks it’s too hot to move fast.

    We have a tornado watch. I hope my school doesn’t blow away.

  7. Okay in the spirit of posting completely off topic comments, here is a link to a youtube video that is actually a commercial I saw on TV last night promoting tourism in ocean city, maryland.

    Funnier when you see it on TV because it’s so unlike any commercial you’re normally likely to see. But still worth a view.
