Freaktacular 2017

Re: Freaktacular 2016

I was thinking you were being so generous. I told all my friends, family, neighbors, and even strangers on the street what a great guy you are.
The funny thing is, there were 2 copies of the same movie in the shipment. I thought, "Geez kenbenobi really wants me to watch this. He probably wants me to keep one at home and the other in my car. What a swell guy!"

I will say this... it's the first time ever getting porn in the mail and it's fantastic.

Lol

Yes, I ordered 2 copies of the same movie. One is for a friend, who keeps asking me about it... So you lied to your friends, family, neighbors and strangers. I ain't that swell!

I still feel like such a bonehead. You know what's worse? You ALMOST got a TV shipped to you! I ordered a TV shipped to my dad, and I didn't understand why the tax rate was coming up so high! Then I realized it was defaulting to CA for some reason (I still hadn't figured out WHY at the point). Eventually I went into my addresses, saw yours, and deleted it. But it never occurred to me that I may have accidentally shipped something to you, prior to that...

I guess if you're going to get porn, may as well get it from Target.

Well, their motto is "aim and SHOOT", right?

Re: Freaktacular 2016

The answer to where anything remotely in-demand from GameStop is. I've literally seen employees pull stuff for themselves mid-shift, which if they get reported is immediate termination last I knew, issue is good luck with that since it's your word against everyone in the stores, unless one of the employees really got someone mad.

Unfortunately that isn't true. Termination is very, and I mean VERY unlikely in GameStop. Termination occurs if an employee pretty much goes on a spree against a customer, if they refuse or leave to work during Black Friday, if they take photos of inventory or company information, and lastly is selling street-dated content before release. I worked there for six years, and this isn't anything new. Some of GameStop's policies don't make sense, but there is a lot to exploit against the company.

Honestly though, it comes down how you are to the associates, and just how the store is overall. I worked in a mall where no one ever wanted to order to buy stuff. We pretty much were a baby sitting service so mommy can go buy a bra while the kid played the same Guitar Hero song 8 times in a row. But when I had my customers, boy, did I hook em up! Them opening the box isn't right, and most stores don't do that, which is a shame. I hate GameStop, but it bums me out to know what good I did for the company, got ****ted on because little pubes don't know how to do their jobs correctly.

ex-employee rant over.

LMFAOOO!! My nieces have never heard about Hatchimals, and we were watching TVs and the commercial came on. They pleaded for them and I pretty much said that toy is made for girls that know how to read, because you have to take care of it. They felt that made sense and didn't ask for one lol. Then a commercial came on about Legos and they said if I wanted those.

Re: Freaktacular 2016

What happened with the walking dead killing the freaks contest?
Did someone win?

Freaktacular 2016

Ahhhh... Yes. I don't believe a winner was determined. That was an awesome contest, indeed. So much fun! I struggled all day to line up the syllables in my entry:

Contest Time!
​

Just when you thought Freaktacular was over, here's a new one from me.

As I hinted, this is about all the great Freaks who have been running contests this year, but it is open to all (including said Freaks).

It is "The Walking Dead" universe. Write a description of how each of these Freaks would have died and post it here (so all can enjoy). I will judge by my own tastes (not foisting the blame off on anyone else). If I can't pick one clear favorite, the top entries will go into a random pool.

Well, I might've located a NES Classic, time to wake up at ass-o-clock early to call a store. :/

Re: Freaktacular 2016

This is it--FINAL DAY to get in on Secret Santa!!

Get a PM to me by MIDNIGHT Central Time tonight because I'm sending names out Saturday morning.

Some people have expressed interest but YOU ARE NOT ON THE LIST UNLESS YOU SEND ME A PM WITH ALL YOUR INFORMATION.

Freaktacular Secret Santa 2016​

I don’t want this to be stressful for anyone—there’s already a lot going on for people this time of year—but there need to be some ground rules.

If you say you’re going to participate THEN PARTICIPATE. If anyone gets a gift and doesn’t send one then I’m personally banning them from any contests I hold here. I’ll also announce it in the Freaktacular thread so everyone knows you didn’t reciprocate. We haven't had a problem so far so let's not start now.

Gift value of around $20. If you want to surprise someone with more then that’s your prerogative—I’m sure the lucky person won't complain.

Send your gift so it will be received before Christmas, and we can all post what we got starting Christmas day.

Send me a PM with:

1. Your name and shipping address.

2. State whether or not you will send a gift internationally (one way to avoid international shipping costs may be to buy something directly from that country’s Amazon website and have it ship from there).

3. Include an license/character of interest just to give your Secret Santa an idea of what you like--this doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed anything related to it but for those that want the information they’ll have it.

4. Shirt size.

5. Preferred gaming system.

6. If you have a blu ray player.

When I get a PM, I’ll add your name to the list and keep it updated in the Freaktacular thread.


Let me know you want to participate by Friday, 12/2/2016. You’ll get paired up and information sent to you over the weekend. Gifts will probably need to be sent by around 12/15-12/17 at the latest to make sure they get there by Christmas.
