At long last, they have no sense of decency.

Hallmark hasn’t been bold enough yet, but American Greetings has Patriot Day Cards. The link was corrected from an earlier post where it expired; that one shouldn’t, but it should be findable from americangreetings.com in any case.

If you’d like to tell them what you think of this, they are:

American Greetings Corporation
One American Road
Cleveland, Ohio 44144-2398
216/252-7300
Fax: 216/252-6778

Their toll free customer service number is: 800/777-4891.

Maybe they could tell us where that ~~$2.95~~ $3.25 is going, or why it’s time to have greeting cards when the hole in New York isn’t filled yet and the war isn’t over and a lot of important questions haven’t been answered. Or what the hell they thought they were doing.

Hmm. Now Hallmark’s site is down for maintenance. I hope they don’t…

Happy Patriot Day.

I have more to say but it’ll take a bit of writing and I’m not sure how well it will come out.

Like most people I think there are versions of me. This is a pretty accurate snapshot of one version at least.

They have a lot of scansion issues on “Killer Queen”

The world demanded it, and lo it is here: a Japanese Queen medley.

Christ on a cracker that’s good. Not sure how long that link will last. Via No-Sword.

Happy Birthday

My father would have been 85 on Friday. He died in 1993. I still miss him. But he had a good life and left behind some good books. Can’t ask for more. This is him in 1943 as a very young naval officer.

I got to meet threepunchstuff and talk for a couple hours at Ruba last night. That was cool! I wasn’t able to give him the full Fellini Movie Experience because the place was almost deserted. However the Brock Samson Insane Annoying Cook guy was in good form at least.

I bought groceries at 2 in the morning. The night clerks at the Ralphs are the stockers sometimes. The one I got was a huge bruiser of a guy, way over six foot and BIG. He had a flat gorilla like face and was covered in non-ironic tattoos and not a few scars. I’ve seen him there before but he’s usually been all grinny and friendly. Tonight he was in a foul mood and I was apprehensive. Seemed like the kind of guy who might backhand me and break my neck and then just say “aww shit, back to jail again.”
