speedz99 145 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 Dear Speedz,I had the Giant Pizza Rolls, they were ok. Sincerely,Blah.Dear Mr. Blah,Of course they were only ok. They promoted these craptastic treats as being a big upgrade in terms of satisfying hunger. Well they are bigger, but you only get a few of them, so it's really a wash. The whole thing really grinds my gears.Sincerely,Speedz99Dear Speedz,Would mixing crunchy peanut butter and marshmallow goop(that crap for hot chocolate) be a good combination?Sincerely,Inspired by the PB Thread.Dear Mr. Thread,I don't know...I'm not a pregnant woman.Sincerely,Speedz99Dear Speedz:I am working for the first time in- I dunno, forever- tomorrow. I have to wear black slacks (check and sexy) and a white shirt (check and sexy). I just realized I don't have any appropriate shoes. All I have to wear at the moment is a pair of nike sneakers. Do I:Wear black socks and Nike Sneakers?Wear white socks and Nike Sneakers?Kill myself?Wear a pair of busted Timberlands?Thanks,WangDear Mr. Wang,With these choices you really need to go with black socks and nike sneakers. It depends on the type of job we're talking about, but that should work at least for the first day. If work doesn't start until after 9am I recommend heading to a DSW or other discount shoe place to get a cheap but appropriate shoe.Sincerely,Speedz99Got quite a backlog of customers here speedz....I guess I'm not the only one taking it easy tonight in preparation for a day-long party tomorrow. I already told my boss not to expect me to be awake and at the computer until 11:00 at the earliest. Luckily I pretended to be extremely swamped with work last week, so it was ok with her.

I'm SeriousBizzleCat.As far as Ender's Shadow goes, I have to agree. I've read everything Orson Scott card's written, apart from a few short stories, and I thought he did a really good job with Bean's character. The scenes in Ender's Game where Ender ruthlessly fucks a bitch up still give me chills. Wang Link to post Share on other sites

renaedawn 1 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Kitchen Confidential - Anthony BourdainThe Joys of Homosociality - Speedz99Dear Speedz,#1 is a fabulous book. I just finished it. No fish on Sundays but eat the goddamned bread. Always remember that.Secondly, where can I pick up a copy of that second book? Amazon.com didn't have it when I did a standard search and the email that they sent me when I inquired said, "Speedz99 is not a legitimate author and we will have nothing to do with selling his trash."WTF is that all about?Lovingly yours,Me Link to post Share on other sites
