Luckily we accounted for that so everyone had a good time and enjoyed the show. We were monitoring the website and we had over a million hits. Of course it crashed.
The fucking web nerd said it was no problem that he had moved us to a new server which could accommodate the traffic. What he didn't know was that our original server wanted to fuck with us because we left so they set a trap. A million people could click in but if more than ten at a time ordered the whole fucking thing would blow up.
We were devastated. All of those hits and no sales!
We got back on line and the sales have been phenomenal. I can't keep up with them. The phone calls, texts and all around interest has been spectacular. So we have no complaints. I might sue the web company. Or at least sic a lawyer on them with a contingency fee. I hate to do it but I can't get fucked like that. I don't think I am going to get any money but at least I can make them shit a little.

Congrats. However, are all these new customers aware that you're a vampire who only posts and fills orders @ night?
Congratulations. You will get past this and things will be good. Because you and Lisa are doing something that has value.
Web nerds don't understand business. They're lost in the details of efficiency of their code, not functionality of the end product, and interface with the customer.
Duh.
It's a gem when you find a programmer who understands a real world process and can code to achieve a useful application to facilitate your business processes.
A million hits. Holy cow (apologies to Titus' hubby)!! You're approaching Bobby Brown and Ike Turner territory, dude.
Fantastic. The web sales will go through the roof.
You might need to hire an assistant to keep up with the orders and processing!!
The sweet smell of success and lots of hard work.
Trooper's nightmare dinner!
Exposure:
The state of being exposed to contact with something.
An act or instance of being uncovered or unprotected.
With one comes the other. Taking care of yourself, whatever that looks like, is as important as taking care of "the Boss"!
Good luck!
Mr Toad's Wild Ride, though replaced by the more popular Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, continues on in many forms.
Like its counterpart at Disneyland, it was not a thrill ride, but it was not slow and quiet like most dark rides. It made sudden turns and often the vehicle would move at full speed towards an obstacle, which would move out of the way at the last second. At one point the vehicles on different tracks would head directly towards each other, giving the sense of an oncoming collision. It was a very stylized attraction and resembled a cartoon more than any other Disney ride. It contained highly ornate plywood characters and sets that were very reminiscent of the multiplane camerawork featured in many Disney films.
The original Mr Toad ride out here will never close. Nor will my favorite ride: link
@chickenlittle...that thread was another wild toad ride. Whew!
Channeling, Chunneling, Churneling, Hermaning, complete with the fresh purple blue aroma of mimeo.
This place is so dead I've been playing Whose That Girl by myself.
The good part is that I always win.
It's jejune full moon. Howl, smell the roses, or search for the girl with the strawberry curls while the band plays on.
Full Strawberry Moon – June- This name was universal to every Algonquin tribe. However, in Europe they called it the Rose Moon.
Mmmm, strawberry season.
Speaking of moons, there's gonna be a full blue moon this year.
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was my favorite Disneyland ride. Space Mountain was my least favorite Disney World ride. God willing and the cricks don't rise I will never set foot in another amusement park, so help me God, as God is my witness.
A moon has to be full to be blue. We have 2 of those this year, right? August and September.
From the Farmer's Almanac:
For more than half a century, whenever two full Moons appeared in a single month (which happens on average every 2 1/2 to 3 years), the second has been christened a "Blue Moon."
This year there will be a Full Blue Moon on August 31. There won't be one in 2013.
Oh, right, I was wrong.
Things I only just learned include that November's full moon is a Full Beaver.
Alert ironrailsironweights, stat!
@MamaM: Carol was really pushing that polish writer in that thread. I was instantly turned off from reading him because of some things I read in his Wiki bio. Life is just too short to go chasing every "interesting" character who goes against the grain.
Oh dear God, Carol Freakin' Herman, with a brain so dense that thoughts cannot penetrate it. Did she die or does plowboy just delete her now? She was perfect for TOP. Troop needs to invite her over here. That would clear this joint out in a minute.
chickelit, I followed your link to that thread and thought I'd lost my mind, b/c I couldn't understand a commenter's explanation of the simplest ride at Disneyland even after reading it three times.
Then I noticed that the commenter was CH.
She made it sound like it was possible to run the Mark Twain boat ride aground.
It is possible, but only when his brother Mark One was running it.
If you can fathom her there, you can fathom her anywhere...
If CH was talking about the raft ride to Tom Sawyer's Island, then I stand corrected by the internet.
Chip S: I seriously doubt CH has ever been to Disneyland.
I seriously doubt CH has ever been to Disneyland.
Not only is it a good idea to avoid Pele the "little white dog" on the Big Island, but picking up strangers on the dusty Winnamucca road can also yield an earful.
That's my song...

That's my song...
♫ C&H, Pure Cane Sugar...from Hawaii...groin' in the sun...♫
Man, constant repetition really drills commercial ditties into one's head, am I right?
For fun it's the best of the toys...
But I was talkin' about the dusty Winnemucca road song, as I have been to Winnemucca and many of the other places rattled off by Johnny "No you can't use Ring of Fire for that product" Cash in that song.
The other day I was talkin' to the clerk at the local Walmart and we got on the subject of the Mamalahoa Highway on the big island.
I drove every road I could find on Hawaii, and got a call from the rental car agency when I got home - seems the car was a bit worse for the wear. Hmm, it was fine when last I saw it.
But that's neither here, there, nor everywhere, man...
I just got back from throwing a ball for my dog to catch in the backyard - man, that's about as far as I'll travel these days. At least until I get my Sprinter van...
groin' in the sun...♫
Very bad idea, my friend. Trust me on this.
