Missing Netflix? The mailman did it!

2006/01/06

I swear, this has happened to me: two postal workers in Denver have been charges with stealing hundreds of Netflix DVDs over a two month period. It's unclear whether or not the bandits worked together: police first apprehended Gloria Flores after catching her leaving the p! ost office with six Netflix envelopes not addressed to her. The local police, assuming they'd caught the sole culprit, patted one another on the back and called it a day. But a couple of months later, Netflix customers in the area were still reporting missing DVDs, so the cops went undercover. They eventually started following another postal lady named Karen Durante. After following her to a gas station and watching her throw away 33 Netflix envelopes, all empty and all addressed to other customers, Durante was arrested. Interesting side note: Durante was also spotted trashing a single, solitary Blockbuster envelope. Poor Blockbuster – they don't even appeal to thieves.

What the fuck is "It"?


How many of you remember playing Tag when you were a kid? Do you remember the last game of Tag you played? Do you remember how it ended? I’m not really sure, but I always remember Tag ending in a kind of unresolved manner. The end of the game was usually signaled by the end of recess or having to go home for supper or something. I was trying to dig back in my memory and remember if I somehow am still “It” for some reason or another. I don’t think so, but it is highly possible that I have gone through my entire adult life being “It” and not having the opportunity have closure by tagging someone and making them “It”.

Being “It” might look pretty good on a resume or be a pretty snappy answer to a dumb job interview question. Check it out:

Interviewer: “Why do you think we should hire you instead of another candidate for this position?”

Me: “Because I’m ‘It’.”

Interviewer: “Thank you very much for your time. We’ll be in touch with you if we find a position that matches your skill set.”

What is “It” anyway and why did kids run away from you when you were “It”?

Maybe not… Just a thought.
