Funny because it's true

Doug:
Well, this is that point in Spring Training where there's pretty much nothing left to say.

Bill:
Yeah, you know it's bad when the Globe leads with a "Where are they now?" piece.

Doug:
Speaking of lost identities, I got a call from the CitiBank fraud depahtment last night saying they noticed suspicious activity on my MastahCahd.

 

---

Doug:
It stahted with a fried chicken dinnah and ended with first class tickets to Rio on TAM... seems the chicken was to test the cahd's veracity.

 

---

Bill:
Hmmm... using fried chicken to test the limits of what you can get away with... now where have I seen that before?

 

---

Doug:
Well, you know what they say...

 

---

Doug:
Nobody expects a chicken supposition!

Bill:
It's chief weapon is ubiquity... ubiquity and crispiness... crispiness and ubiquity... The two weapons are ubiquity and crispiness... and a subtle juiciness.

Diners Drive-ins and Dives, meets Monty Python ;-0 LOL!

Don't forget the nice red uniforms.

Oh, and didn't Beckett have....a COMFY CHAIR???

[ponch]

Dammit, now I'm hungry and craving fried chicken.

[h.b.]

Ponch,

Just don't use my card to satiate your craving.

BTW totally channeling through the characters today. I really did get that call last night.

$2.78 Pollos Mexican Fried Chicken
$3000 stationary (????)
$6500 TAM tix

Gotta admire Citi's quickness in shutting it down.

[Rob in CT]

Got a similar call a few years ago, h.b. Only instead of fried chicken and TAM tix, it was for $8,700 in paella pans.

I'm as big on chicken, chorizo sausage, shrimp and rice as the next guy, but $8,700?? Even if you go to Williams-Sonoma, that's about 350 pans. That's a lot of paella...

BTW, *LOVE* the Python reference. Gotta go home and watch my "Completely Different" dvd tonight.

I recently had an $80 charge show up on my card for christianmingle.com. Thou shalt not steal?

[Bob]

I once had Chase call and inform me of suspicious activity on my card:
$2700 Glass Slipper Club
$8000 Two 1st class tickets to Vegas
$10,000 Presidential suite at Mirage
$25,000 divorce attorney

[Rob in CT]

LOL, Bob! I presume you assured them the charges were legitimate, if regrettable.

[Bob]

Yep. I don't even know why Chase considered the charges suspicious. Seemed pretty everyday to me.

I see a new domain name: www.ubiquicrispness.com

Let the games begin.

Been to Blanchard's in Allston lately, h.b.?

Allston liquor store blames malware for customer data theft

[Kaz]

Not sure if I closed my link tag. This should do it if I didn't.

[buckner was framed]

"Nobody expects a chicken supposition" didn't see that one coming (no pun intended) LMAO

would be even funnier if I wasn't currently fasting and purging to prepare for a certain medical procedure tomorrow. Why do they call it Halflytely, anyway? Was Halfassed already taken??

[Bob]

They call it Halflytely because by the time you're done with it, you'll be half lighter.

[buckner was framed]

if only that were true

As my father sez: Growin' old ain't for sissies...
