wtf?

I bought 10 black RoseArt pens because they had 'satisfaction guaranteed' stamped on the package. I was not happy - they skipped, brand new. I phoned the company and left a message with my address. They sent me ten more of the same type of pen.

If I didn't like the first ten, why do I want another ten of the same pen? I'm debating calling back and leaving another message - "You baffle me."

Hee! Maybe they're hoping you'll get used to it by pen no. 20.

No, it's just traditional (maybe only in Maine?) to follow the "grow on" phrase with "like a fungus." :)

Perhaps so yes. Hmm where'd you get that icon from, since it's so cool and i've never commented on it before.

I stole it from my favorite band, Beat Soup (http://www.beatsoup.com), and they stole it from someplace else, but Dan Cuetera (the band member who does the site) has forgotten where, I think.:)

Ah ok, yeah it's funny how it works like that.

I'm partial to it because A) I love to dance to their music, and B) I love to dance in general, such that people at work sometimes call me "our dancing girl." I show up and say "I'm here! Bring on the dancing girls!" and they say "That's you!"
