  1. Some thoughts: I've dealt with Woodbury before, very satisfied with the price I paid and the entire buying process - clerks were good, courteous, item arrived on time, etc., all good. Woodbury appears to be a prosperous enterprise, so the people running it can't be all that dumb. That being said, I can't imagine that either the General Manager and/or the owner of Woodbury has not seen/heard the shitstorm that's going on and has not stepped up to correct the situation, i.e. offered to sell the KSG to Todd at the verbally agreed upon price. To lose multiple long time customers for, let's say $1,500.00 is a bad business decision, plain and simple. I personally have 4 or 5 items on my "need/want in the coming year" list, and although I wasn't necessarily going to go through Woodbury, I definitely will not patronize them now, unless they make it right with Todd and the others that were on the list. I have recommended Woodbury to 5 of my personal friends that are into firearms and/or archery, and to the 35 or so that are in our shooting club at work (a company with about 2,500 local (central Ohio) employees). I told my 5 personal friends about this Saturday night at our NYE gathering, and the 35 in the shooting club will be receiving an e-mail tomorrow morning detailing what has happened. The company I work for has a published Philosophy, 23 points in all, that's been studied in business schools worldwide, books have been written about it, and is at the core of any decision made. Here are a couple of items from that philosophy that directly relate to this: =========== Our Golden Rule - We treat our customers, employees, investors, and suppliers as we would like to be treated. Customers - Without the customer and their need for our products and services we have nothing. - We will exert every effort to see that the customer's quality and service requirements are met. - Once a commitment is made to a customer, every effort is made to fulfill that obligation. =========== My company is a multi-billion dollar company with a record of 177 quarters in a row of paying a dividend to investors - every single quarter since becoming a public company nearly 42 years ago. Maybe we're doing something right when putting customers first?
  2. dude: "Look at thith, look at that, look at thith, look at that" (repeat 800 times) me: "Get the f*ck outta here, the car's not for sale any longer"
  3. OhioMike has taught/reinforced a lesson us men should have learned a loooong time ago: Don't send the wife out shopping for things about which they know nothing. For that, we all owe OhioMike a debt of gratitude.
  4. I may be the only one that can use this, but: 2008 - 2010 Suzuki GSX650 F Service manual
  5. As Red Forman would say: "Michael, you're a dumbass."
  6. If I do this at work I can create my own happy little Intarwebz blackout: # /etc/init.d/named stop (kill DNS) and/or: # /etc/init.d/squid stop (kill the proxy service) That could make for a fun morning...
  7. How does the dog shoot, what with no opposable thumb? And where does he wear the holster? I assume he open carries? Modified Weaver stance, strong-paw? I'll bet his slide has a lot of claw wear...
  8. Half Price Books might have it in their video section. Or you could steal it off teh intarwebz.
  9. You could also try: "Private Browsing" natively in the browser (ctrl-shift-P in IE or Firefox, ctrl-shift-N in Chrome (where it's called Incognito)) Never have used, don't know how well (if at all) they work. I surf in a virtual machine ("sandbox", if you will) that gets reset to clean and pristine after each use.
  10. Convicted felon (x2) ? Check. Carrying $31,000 +/- cash? Check. Trying to sneak a loaded Glock onto an airplane? Check. Didn't know what was in the bag he was "carrying to a friend"? Check. Yup, all adds up to a simple "oops" imho. 1 out of the approximately 1.5 million daily air travelers. Nothing to see here, carry on (pun intended).
  11. Jr., 11, is turning out be a fine maker of butt noise. I'm a proud papa.
  12. Took me a sec... Glad that you and yours are a-ok!
  13. I like pink, just not the singer with that name...
  14. I'm not dead yet! Took care of it at work (x2), much better than dealing with the mess/stench at home. I was correct with the "hurricane" analogy, about 10 minutes after the lull it was "uh oh", and then it was like the Ohio Lottery tv show "Cash Explosion". Again, glad I was at work... Me arse is no worse for the wear, I abuse my diet often.. I shouldn't, but I'm a guy...
  15. Sounds like the crap all of the Oracle contractors listen to at my office...
  16. Waiting for Chebby to opine on the greatness that is an M&P in 3...2...1 Nice toss of the telly over the fence by the FedEx guy - probably former USPS employee of the month...
  17. Split with a co-loafer (15 each). Rumblings have subsided a bit at the moment, but I liken that to the lull in the middle of a hurricane - just when you think it's all fine and dandy....
  18. Gluttony has been achieved (with a co-loafer, not all by myself). Stomach/arse are OK at the moment, but rumblings have started... ** edit: rumblings are much more pronounced and are coming at a faster pace... uh-oh! Crappy cell phone pic:
