This, from today’s Wall Street Journal, made me smile.

“Sprint Nextel Corp. has taken the unusual step of disconnecting customers who call customer service excessively.

The country’s third-largest wireless provider, with more than 53 million subscribers, has sent letters to about 1,000 subscribers terminating their contracts, according to Roni Singleton, a company spokeswoman.

“The number of inquiries you have made to us … has led us to determine that we are unable to meet your current wireless needs,” the letter, dated June 29, states.”

I’ll bet they keep calling. I recomend they send them to a recording of the man who said it best himself…

When you have fresh Kentucky Mud…..

Yes, that’s my daughter. We’ve no plans for Institut Villa Pierrefeu.

Ship your packages and pick up a torque converter on your way out.

Even after 12 hours, nobody bothered to fix it. LOL.

I was tagged by Bill Slawski in a Nerdiness quiz meme where he scored a measly 65 - or “low rank nerd” … so I pushed up my glasses, took off my wrist braces and stumbled up to the challenge!

Eighty-freaking five. High-Nerd. Woah. I was thinking like mid-grade. Thank GOD the quiz didn’t ask me if I owned a metal detector (I have a nice one), programmed IR emitters by hand to control devices (I have), or re-wired any X-10 devices to do odd things ’round the house (I have a secret box)

Now I’ll meme-tag a few others. Answer honestly.. I did!

CompUSA officials said the company plans to “increase the number of products in some key growth areas to serve tech enthusiasts, professionals and businesses. It is testing a format in which part of the store would be specifically for small and medium business customers. Officials said they would stock more products aimed at business users, including bringing back a commercial laser printer, a dot matrix printer and point-of-sale machines. They also plan to hold free seminars for small business owners in the stores.”

God Help Us. I’ve never been in a CompUSA where the sales staff could help with basic, consumer-grade products, let alone business-critical tools or seminars.Â

I know, I’m hard on CompUSA, but someone needs to step up and be remarkable in this space, why not them?  Who needs another computer K-Mart?
