Wonderful. I'd love to meet you if you're ever in my neck of the woods. :) What do you prefer--chicken and sausage or seafood gumbo?
 
Seafood and heavy on the shrimp and crab.
When I lived in Kingston, ON, there was a restaurant that advertized itself as being Cajun. They put squid in the gumbo. I had a talk with the chef. A very loud talk that managed to get me thrown out.
 
I'm pretty sure this can't top the 'squid in gumbo' disaster, but..

Apparently my phone rang twice last night, around 3 a.m. (I missed them and just saw it this morning).Usually doesn't happen, but okay yeah, it's possible. Then I saw it was a foreign number. I'm like: huh? who calls me from abroad? And in the middle of the night? Did a number search, guess what? It's from Nigeria.

Seriously, what. the. fuck.

If the chef was Cajun, the the reply is... "If it swims in de water, flies in de air, or crawls on de ground... it belongs in gumbo."

So my rant. I have my website (nihsen.com) solely for hosting some files and because I love having the email address. If you try and go to it it will redirect to here, so don't bother trying to reach it. But I also have 3 separate email addresses that forward to my gmail account. Every so often I have to go in and clean out the inbox of my nihsen.com account so that it can keep receiving email. Well, my wife and kids also have accounts under nihsen.com and I discovered just today that just cleaning out the inbox does not clear everything out. So when I found the right place I needed to clear...there were 240k emails sitting in the system! No fucking wonder my email has been messing up lately!

The best part is that a couple thousand of them were vBulletin error messages. HA!
 
I ordered some DVD's from Amazon and they finally came in but sadly two of them had busted up jewel cases. I paid extra for the nice box sets so I called up and Amazon and they were nice and let me return them with no issues. But the annoying this is that one is currently out of stock and so I will have to wait 2 - 3 weeks for it to arrive and as for the second one it was shipped by Amazon but sold from a third party seller so all they could do was give me a refund. Luckily it was still in stock and at the same price so I was able to order the DVD again and Amazon was nice enough to give me free 2 day shipping on the purchase so it will arrive shortly but it is still annoying.

Ha indeed. That's why gasbandit at gasbanditry.com is just a simple redirect to my gmail account with no retention.

Normally, I would agree with you, Sixpack, but I don't like anything with the look or consistancy of a novelty condom in my gumbo.
