Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Online Shopping
« on: March 18, 2004, 02:04 PM »Two nights ago I went a step further, Grocery Shopping Online. A local company called SimonDelivers.com delivers your groceries to your doorstep...
Just be careful if someone else on your street does Simon too.
Once, my wife and I got part of the neighbor's order...
My wife called me at work and wanted to know why I had ordered 48 cans of Cat Food and a few cans of Prunes with the regular items.
Not having a cat or irregularity issues, I too was confused as to why these things were in our order. Turned out they were for the lady down the street and just got mixed up with our order.
The lady down the street was much more upset than we were about the ordeal. Probably had something to do with the fact that we weren't charged for the items and got them and she WAS charged for the items and DIDN'T get them.
I just thought the whole thing was pretty funny actually...
The moral of the story? Always check to make sure you got what you paid for I guess.

Personally, I don't mind if the site takes a while before it opens again...
That way, my gift certificate can get here and I can use that on my order

BAF = UK Action Man small figures (a la GI Joe)
So, in the UK, Action Man = GI Joe.
When GI Joe switched from 12" to 3.75" figures in '82, Action Man followed with BAF being Action Man's version of 3.75" figures.
The toys were made by Palitoy and there was some weird stuff, man.
Eventually to save on cost, BAF turned their bad guy Baron whoosiswhatsus into Cobra Commander so that Palitoy could re-release Cobra toys to the UK kiddies!
For Example:
The Cobra HISS Tank = BAF Cobra Hyena!

I am going out of town this weekend... Leaving around noon on Friday, back Sunday afternoon.
Taking a weekend trip to celebrate my wife's Birthday.
So, Friday doesn't work for me. But Thursday does.

Hey All,
I just got home from watching the beloved Minnesota Wild distribute a thorough butt-kicking of the Ottawa Senators.
M Gaborik = 5 points (3 goals, 2 Assists) in a Wild 5-2 victory with 36 great saves by Roli the Goalie.
Where the heck has this Gabby been all year? Stupid hold-outs
*grumble, grumble*
Eh, at least we get to play Eastern Conf spoilers this week... next up Boston.

Just a heads-up for ya all...
I'll be at the Hockey Game tonight (Wild v. Ottawa), so there'll be no posting from me between 6pm-10pm.
(just in case the draft gets back to me between now and then)
