And my number one favorite post of 2009 is . . .
Number 1: Posted on 11/30/2009
Hold on, let me get a pen.
Got it.
I would like to ask what that means, but it may not be Monday, or within the 3 day period, so maybe I’ll just write it down in my notebook.
Wait a minute, are you asking me questions now? Because that’s not what I signed up for. Plus it hasn’t been 3 days.
So theoretically, you could not check in on me for 6 days, and then all day Sunday you’re up my ass, looking at my items and my ideals? I’m starting to feel a little pressered.
Yeah, okay we get it, you’re the one with the ideals. You don’t have to rub it in, oh look at me, I have ideals all day, I need a notebook. We’ve established already you’re the one with the ideals about the items. That’s why you’re getting the 19.99, and I’m just waiting until Monday so I can ask a question.
Do you take Paypal?
Trivia: The merchandise inspired by this post is the second best seller in our Zazzle store (this is the first). ALL proceeds from our Zazzle store benefit charitable causes.
