Jin posted a photo of a mac n cheese burger on Facebook. Suddenly I'm starving. And I don't have a mac n cheese burger. I hate her.

I ate a Fiber One bar. :( :( :(

Yep, they don't really know shit when it comes to that sort of thing. Could be a week or year.

Were you as surprised as I was to see that this place was give such large letters on the map? Granted I was there in the dark season but it only seemed to have a few buildings, most of them boarded up for winter. I was expecting a town.

I guess it depends on the map. It's not included on a lot of maps, just mainly maps for tourists. It's a really small place. Less than 900 people and it's not even a real incorporated town, it's a census designated place. The name means something like "the meeting of three rivers" and there are three that meet there. And it's the name of a mountain range too, so I wonder if that's what you were seeing? Either way, it is an awesome place. I met Stubbs twice. You might have met him but he is sneaky. The first time I met him he was sleeping in a pile of stuffed animals on a pool table in the west rib. I would have missed him but I was looking specifically for him haha. He is certainly a celebrity and knows it.

On the third attempt, I used a speakerphone and decided to let it ring until someone answered. About 10 minutes later, someone answered and screamed "No one wants to talk to you right now! Go away!"

Verizon was installing the FIOS equipment in our neighborhood at the time. The day we got the notice it was available, I cancelled Comcast and switched.

Verizon customer service hasn't been any better, though.

That makes sense. I love the tourist maps. And gotta love those funny Alaskan names. My personal favorite is Nenana. "A good place to camp"

It was not a very good place to camp.

Since when are local Comcast offices open 24/7? Their call center and main 800 number are 24/7, for certain departments. That's a very interesting story...

Was Candor calling a random residence? We would know if there was universal surveillance.

Or he could just be fucking sick. Here's a novel idea, rather than whine about it on the internet, stop being a lazy bitch and take him to the fucking vet.

Said as much in a rep comment but it deserved repeating.
