Brenda and Wynona should hang out.

Bastard tried to bite.

Got a random call from an acquaintance - friend of a friend sort of thing. Haven't seen him in years. Left a long message about getting together with some other blokes for a "Dads day" at the pub to play darts.

Also invited myself and family to his office for some sort of "pictures with Santa" event at his office. My kids are 21, 20, and 18.

He's a realtor.

I'm really suspicious this is some sort of attempt to drum up business.

Amusing.

Twice in recent years I had old acquaintances reach out to me out of the blue, and both times they were trying to drum up personal business. So slimy, way to spoil my distant memories of your character..

Time to go over and fix the cable.

Gotta say, my Jethro Tull avatar is amusing me. Seems like an appropriate level of pompous douche to match my name (and behavior).

I’m amused at people that eschew minivans because they’re uncool but will happily fill their stable with crossovers. Crossovers drove the demise of sporty wagons and hatchbacks. What’s more uncool than that?

FIFY

When telemarketers call and I’m bored I’ll take the call and just tell them ridiculous things until they hang up. Sometimes I get a real firecracker. Usually it ends with them asking why I would waste their time, and that always makes me crack up. You called me, man. I didn’t sign up for your call, in fact I signed up for you to not call me. I’m wasting your time?

Understood that they’re just a person on the other end of the line trying to get by, so I do try and be polite. I had one guy from Pakistan and actually had a pretty good conversation with him, but when he suggested we connect on social media I politely declined.

Drives my fiancé nuts.

Hmmm you seem like a good person to talk to about funding my new project: it's a youtube video series about the 50 best ski descents in Ontario. I'm having trouble finding people to take me seriously.

Troubleshooting not exactly this person's strong suit.

Has anyone suggested lighting the house on fire yet?

First snow of the season here today, and I've now seen three brodozers going stupid slow. Apparently the extra-wide rubber band tires don't have great snow and slush performance.
