A transcript of my husband's phone call to Dan Ra^ther

My husband made a call to DanRa^ther's office this morning. What follows is an actual transcript of the call

Ring, Ring

Ring, Ring

W2: Hello

CD: We're wondering where Dan's retirement gifts are registered?

W2: Tiffany's.

CD: What is he interested in?

W2: Cufflinks.

CD: I was considering pajamas, what color would Dan prefer?

W2: Obviously, you don't shop at Tiffany's much, Walmart or Target are more your speed.

Now, a quick check of the online register at Tiffany's did not turn up an entry for Dan Ra^ther, so, it looks like someone at Tiffany's has lost this important list of the wonderful gifts we're trying to pick to console our favorite newsreader. (Did find a nice pair of cufflinks there)

We did, though, find a nice Monaco bathrobe with a matching towel at Target, and this great game at Walmart. But neither Target or Walmart sells men's pajamas online. Any other suggestions as to where Dan should register?

My husband may be quiet, but he does have quite a sense of humor!

[wideawake]

Walmart or Target are more your speed.

Ah, there's the arrogance that serves the Old Media so well.

"Any other suggestions as to where Dan should register?"

His local plumbing supply warehouse...........

Googling pajama monkeys BUMP

Walmart or Target are more your speed. Ah, there's the arrogance that serves the Old Media so well.

That struck me too. We are just common people..not the elite. How can so many dims not see that, they continue to vote for the elite, the privileged, who scoff at the rest of us.

So can we determine from this Representative of SEEBS, on the record, that SEEBS is slamming Target and Walmart, and that the afore mentioned companies are beneath them?

I smell a hot story here! We even have a CBS insider saying it is true! LOL :)

[Kozak]

I just gave old Dan a call myself:

The shmuck who answered the phone sounded pretty weary at this point. We really need to get the number out to show our support of "Gunga Dan".

[norraad]

We should all call!

[Kozak]

Why not send a FAX to the number...

Yeah, this really bothered me. I wonder if Target or Walmart advertise on CBS??

Give them a call and ask where the statement due at noon is.

Why do I keep hearing a stern voice saying:

"More plebes needed!"

...after reading that story?


(Origin is Caeser II and III for the PC, in case you wonder. In the game, you spent from the public budget to keep employment up; the plebes were put to cleaning fountains, building roads, and other dirty or dangerous public works projects.)

[TC Rider]

They've put a young kid on that line. I asked where Dan was registered for his resignation gifts and he didn't get it.

I explained that when one got married, you registered for bridal gifts, when you retired, you registered to list the retirement gifts you would like.

He said, "That's very interesting". Click
