Craig Ferguson, Boobies, and why Best Buy sucks...
January 13, 2010
Have I mentioned here how funny I think Craig Ferguson is? I was turned onto him by my good friend Gail Sobat who left a cryptic message on some machine alluding to the fact that Craig Ferguson reminded her of me. I let it go for a long time. Eventually, I check old Craig Ferguson out and Christ he’s freakin’ funny! I am nothing like Craig Ferguson but I’m glad I finally found the guy. He’s definitely a bit undone! I’ve laughed out loud repeatedly while watching his show. Johnny Carson never made me laugh. Jay Leno does not make me laugh, will never make me laugh. David Letterman used to make me laugh but not anymore (He was funny when he had the barely controlled Chris Elliot on the show doing hilarious impersonations of Marlon Brando and a bag of chili and the “Man under the Stairs” bits.) Okay, Jon Stewart makes me laugh too…but in a sort of stunned horror about how right he is about what’s going on. But Ferguson is COMPLETELY HILARIOUS!!! When he said he only liked movies with “boobies” in them, he had me. He had me at “boobies.”
I promised a rant on Best Buy and how much they suck, but I just don’t have the energy to rant right now. Suffice it to say, Best Buy sucks. They’ve whacked me upside the head twice now with their pricing policy. They’ll refund the difference on a purchase that goes on sale for 30 days. Their prices are covered for 30 days. They dropped the price $400 on a printer I’d purchased 35 days after I’d bought it. Same thing with the new TV. Thirty-one (31) days after my purchase, they drop the price $500. Here’s the thing. Nobody should buy anything from Best Buy unless it’s roughly 20 days before Christmas. Even if it appears to be on sale, trust me, it isn’t. So, twenty days before Christmas, Best Buy is okay – the rest of the year; Best Buy sucks. It’s as if there’s some sort of Trofimuk alert that monitors when I buy something from their goddamn store: “Oh look, Trofimuk bought something; drop the price on that item in 31 days.” I’m done with this store. I’ll never go back. You shouldn’t either.
