My Minions are Getting Remiss:

[wednes]

I've posted before about the town of Wednesbury, pronounced "WENZ burry." Since I actually do know people in the UK, you'd think that someone would send me a sweet photo of them waving from a "Welcome to Wednesbury" sign, or some sort of arial photo that shows that the town was built in the shape of me. No dice.

But now...

I've just learned that there is a Museum and Gift Shop(pe) in Wednesbury.
And NOT ONE SINGLE ONE of YOU have sent me a gift from it.

What. The. Fuck. ???

Seriously people, I can send you American crap like Mountain Dew, Zippo lighters, or cheap Korean plastic if you want it. But I have no means to get myself any cool Wednesbury swag. And I'm not famous enough yet that people are sending me this kind of stuff "just because."
So yeah, if you guys could get on that for me, I sure would appreciate it.

And if you want to do something nice for me, but you're in America--why don't you sucker punch the next 5 people you hear using the expression "Hump Day." I despise that expression.

Trent Reznor complaining thru song

Ha ha! I love your sense of humor. Trent needs to use his fame to bang some more fans and stop his whinin'!

I never heard of hump day until a few years ago or so. Nobody uses it at work, thank God. And I'm very glad nobody says, "Somebody has a case of the Mondays!"

Some very unpleasant bastards used to call me HumpDay when I was just a wee Wednes. For a frumpy fat kid, it was pretty terrible.

Yeah, Trent is pretty sexy but for a German, he really is kind of a whiner.

You can get Mountain Dew, Zippo lighters and cheap Korean plastic most anywhere these days. You need to make better offers. ;)

Oh, how nice. I come across some of these sort of people on Assbook. I keep wondering why I keep looking at people from that period in my life.

He must be one of those stereotypical dour northern Germans!

Damn. I would offer those chocolate-covered Twinkies, but they only have those out west. What about Happy Meal toys? Oh wait, McDonalds is everywhere. Hmmm...what about hooker catalogs from Vegas? Or big, pretty, bongs made of sparkly, hand-blown glass?

I have found that most of the "hot chicks" I went to high school with have been divorced (some several times), having raised ordinary children alone or with some small measure of help from a disinterested spouse. They work shitty jobs and contribute nothing creative to the world at all. Plus, they aren't very pretty these days, and some still have the same horrible hair.

Crikey! Linda used to wrk near there and we live about 30 minutes away. If we ever visit I shall pick you something up :D

So you're telling me your superhero name is NOT Hump Girl?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

No, it's Mama Sass.

I thought everyone knew that. ;-]

:-D I guess you get the best results with $$$. It doesn't rot in the mail, either.

I could send you an American dollar now, but who knows what it'll be worth by the time it reaches you. ;-]

You must be talking about the hot chicks I went to school with! I'm not on FB mostly because it would be a crushing disappointment if it wasn't true.
