Dear Florist Rat Bastards. I would like to extend my most sincere gratitude for your kind and timely e-mail, dated May 11 (Mother's Day) in regards to your complete inability to send flowers to my mother. Indeed, I thank you for bringing to my attention that had I simply planned ahead, and ordered said flowers on time, then my mother would not have to spend the remainder of this, her only true day of joy, alone and with the feeling that her children have abandoned her. It is with true humility that I realize the enormity of my mistake, and will endeavor in the future (should my mother in fact live out the following 364 days of misery and loneliness) to order with at least a weeks notice, placing said order with a Wonderful Company such as yourselves, so that my mother will not feel the pangs of abandonment that she will now be subjected to on this holiday, which was simply not created by cynical, power hungry, marketing-driven companies. Wait a minute: I DID place the order with one week's notice. Oh, well then, I still thank you for giving me ample time to respond to the fact that you have no ability to deliver to her address, since your online ordering system so carefully perused my order to ensure deliverability, and responded to me immediately. Wait a minute: You did take the order, but waited until the actual day of delivery to inform me that I would now have to make last minute emergency arrangements. You suck. Indeed, the sheer force and magnitude of how much you suck surpasses even that of the entire planetary workforce of the superfamily Apoidea's ability to suck nector from flowers the world over. Now, given the fact that mother believed in breast feeding, she has been exposed to the concept of 'suck' before...but she has yet to run into the likes of a company such as yours, which Merriam Webster has thought fit to include in the definition of the word 'suck', as an exemplary icon of pure vacuum and it's ability to suck the lifeforce out of any living being. Let me make it plain, in case the dripping sarcasm of the first four paragraphs failed to fall on your tiny, pointed heads. You suck....hard. You suck like the air intakes of an F-15 Eagle. You suck worse than a three-toothed whore on 'dollar-special' night after she's eaten a bottle of Alum. You suck like a collapsed star, eating all valid matter and energy from anything resembling astronomically close space. You suck like a Shop-Vac in a warehouse full of styrofoam pellets, or, indeed, a Shop-Vac inside your own slope-browed skulls (same thing, in my humble opinion). The magnitude and expanse of how much you suck may truly only be surpassed by your gross incompetence, uncaring nature, near-felonius greed, and overall lack of any value at all. At first, I could not believe that you would perpetrate such a heinous deceit, thinking that any decent human being would never intentionally hurt someone's mother, especially on Mother's Day. Then, I came to realize that none of you probably even *have* mothers, as you are all most likely the improbable result of some bizarre chemical reaction that took place in the fetid armpit of some dead or dying carrion-eater...spawned in the depths of a festering garbage dump from which you managed to crawl out and begin to inflict yourselves on humanity. Again...just to be clear...you suck. Cheers Jim, in Yellowknife, the winter wonderland ... I had him shot, to improve the gene pool. ___ Blue Wave/386 v2.30 [NR] --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5 * Origin: Try Our Web Based QWK: DOCSPLACE.ORG (1:123/140) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 5030/786 @PATH: 123/140 500 106/2000 633/267
