There was a cat that really was gone.

You know, there was a thread on bad_service recently from someone whose returns to NetFlix kept disappearing. He/she is now wondering if these USPS workers were responsible.

Also, that McDonald's story totally tickles me. Never underestimate the importance of good bread. This is why I don't like Subway much; their breads are mediocre.

You don't even know the half of it . . . .

Apparently there's no better way to get attention over TX than, "Mayday, mayday, FedEx Heavy flight 194 requesting immediate clearance for landing." "FedEx heavy, this is DFW. We have you on radar. Please state the nature of your emergency." "DFW, the Rhino just woke up" (can't find the actual quote - that was from memory of what a pilot told me. They had given the zoo vet the option of flying commercially instead of jumpseating behind the pilots)

I was a hazardous materials agent for FedEx at their superhub in Memphis and they really will ship *Anything* (except toxic waste and poisonous gas).

"[...]defeated by the sheer wholesomeness of a local baker’s bread." sounds like an excerpt from The Onion.

His speciality fillings include mortadella, mozzarella and eggs or scamorza cheese, eggs, basil and tomato, as well as fèdda, a local version of bruschetta — toasted bread drizzled with olive oil and salt and covered in chopped tomatoes.

...and now my mouth is watering.

Dude, did you read the article about the guy with the needles in his brain? His mother did that to try and kill him during the cold war because she had no money. Ouch.
