Light and hearty observations from a fat and ugly guy. Home of hackneyed drivel and ersatz-existentialist effluence. Choleric biliousness a specialty, since 1958.

No cable, no Internet: oh no!

So I'm back from my trip and my TV and Internet at home are both dead as doornails. Call the cable company, Comcast, which provides both to me, on hold for the rest of the night, hang up, try again this morning. Finally get through after waiting, waiting, waiting. Tell my tale of woe to Shaniquia or Laquishia or Chlorineia or whatever her name is. She goes: "Well, Mr. Howle-Raines, I'd love to help you but our system is down so let me get your number and I'll call you back."

Their system is down. Confidence inspiring and just a bit ironic, don't you agree?
