Where is the Random Thread of Randomness stuff that doesn't belong in other threads thread?

I had stuff that HAD to get done before the 1st, so I put off weekend chores. Now I'm trying to slog through 2 weeks of e-mails. Bleah. Torture. Even deleting 77% of them without even looking at them it's freaking miserable.
 
Twice a week for the past...shit, I dunno, 2 years?...I get an e-mail from Photobucket. It started out with "We're discontinuing free accounts. Click to upgrade or lose all your photos." My reaction was "I have a Photobucket account?" It's gotten to "We've deactivated your account. Click if you don't want to lose all your photos." "OK. Go ahead." "WHE'RE SERIOUS HERE! YOU THINK WE'RE JOKING, BITCH? CLICK OR LOSE YOUR PHOTOS!!!!11" I love when some Internet thing that has been bypassed tries to remain relevant. Back when I joined LinkedIn, they told you not to send networking requests to anyone you didn't know personally. And if you wanted to, you had to do this whole 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon thing and find someone who knew both of you or someone who knew you and knew someone who knew them, etc, and get them to recommend you. Now there just randomly sending me e-mails: "Hey, here's Pranjeet Gupta, a telemarketer in Bangalore India. You should totally add him to your network!" How about "no"? Why do I need to network with a telemarketer in India? I hate Facebook so much at this point that I created a MySpace profile. Periodically I hate it enough to log onto the MySpace profile but then I realize it won't let me upload a profile pic for whatever reason--so I don't bother sticking around long enough to find out that no one I know has a MySpace account.
 
To be fair, that isn't as flaky as it seems because they likely have something in their license agreement that lets them mine all your Facebook data. But I think if/when I tried that it just flaked out and didn't work.
 
I've developed a tradition of going to Outback Steakhouse to finalize momentous occasions. That's another story. The point is, I always had the 8oz prime rib but they discontinued that a few years back and the smallest cut you could get was 12oz. My metabolism is too slow to burn off that many calories so I switched to a 6oz filet mignon, which looks tiny when you get it, but by the time your done you're quite satisfied. But I was missing me some prime rib goodness so the last time I went I had it and it didn't seem too much. So I had it tonight and I feel like a bloated tick. Back to the filet for me.
 
There's a high school radio station here that plays everything. Well mostly country and 80s music, but it's a pretty good station. Anyway, tonight they played "Making Love (Out of Nothing at All)" and I was surprised to realize it was a dude and not Bonnie Tyler, because it is such a perfect Bonnie Tyler song. Turns out it was recorded by Air Supply. But Bonnie Tyler covered it in the 90s. And it is magnificent.
 
Pretty much all fast food has out-priced its usefulness. Last time I went to BK this past summer they charged me $13 for two lackluster double cheeseburgers and I was sitting at the drive thru window for 20 minutes waiting, and even then they screwed up the order and I had to wait another 15 minutes. I think they only had one or two people working in there. I see horror stories about that particular store anyway, like the manager brings her kids to work and lets them sleep on the floor, or they're running in and out barefoot. Not exactly the cleanest setup on the planet.

I'm the same way about steak. I'll also have rib eye ground for burgers and meatballs. But that's another story.

Grab n go in the grocery has replaced the chains, to be honest. They do it better and cheaper and it's still grab n go, if that's what you're up to.

Fucking Little Caesar's. I mean, I miss when they were "Pizza, pizza!" and you could get a pizza delivered for less than other places--WITH A FREE SECOND PIZZA, but I realize times change. And they adapted nicely with their "Hot n Tasty." You could be hungry and happen past a Little Caesar's and just go "You got a sausage Hot & Nasty? No? OK, I'll have a pepperoni" and for 5 bucks and 1 minute of your time you could fill your facehole with familiar calories. They're still on the Website, but the last 3 times I went to a Little Caesar's they didn't have any Hot & Nasty's. The first time they disappointed me, they had people running around the kitchen like crazy, stacks of pizza everywhere, a lobby full of customers, and somehow no way to match pizzas to customers. I think I waited 20 minutes to find out they didn't have any Hot & Nastys.

Who is John Galt?
 
I went to buy bread cakes the other day, the person in the queue before me firmly believed world war three was only months away.
