Well, first of all, "f***t" is spelled with two "g" letters in the middle, so you need one more placeholder star in there. Second, you're horning in on my territory.

That said, I apologize. I must admit that I too-easily forget that, as an extremely out gay guy living in an extremely out gay neighborhood (San Francisco's Castro district), the-word-that-shall-not-be-named (which is bandied about here in routine, friendly and acceptable conversation) is not (yet) acceptable outside my particular geographic bubble. With that perspective in mind, again, please accept my apology.

Over the past few days, for whatever reason, I've learned that people here don't like me, whatever that's fine. I don't put huge amounts of thought into my comments and don't always "add" to the topic. Yes I don't always have full sentences and sometimes unconsciously write "u" or "n" But when did this website stop being fun?
Anyway, the main thing is I felt that this dislike that everyone is throwing at me was now translating into a hate kind of thing and that's fine too but I didn't want that hate be again affiliated with that word. I think you understand what I mean.

@cpthook: I laughed when I thought of it. I laughed when I wrote it. I laughed when I read it back. However, I didn't laugh when I got caught, however (arguably) slightly, with my political correctness pants down around my ankles.
As ThisIsSharks pointed out, "That word is NOT ok man. NOT OK." And, even though in certain contexts it certainly can be OK*, I can appreciate his objection to the implied word in this general context. Hey, just trying to be more sensitive here.
In any case, I did not interpret that Sharks' was objecting to my playful implication that his censored word meant he was calling himself "gay"; I interpreted that he was concerned that I had all-but-stated a specific word often recognized as offensive (again, within certain contexts). Fair argument.
All that said, I do appreciate the support you and others offered in my defense. And don't worry, this bitchy queen ain't goin' nowhere and I certainly ain't shutting up; Indeed, I've got plenty of other insults up my sleeve and will continue to hurl them at will. Thanks, over and out.

Now, _that_ is truly special. I know that some rebate companies like to make the requirements so convoluted that you are likely to miss Step 3.4a because it was written on the second receipt that you forgot to grab before leaving the store (and then the rebate delay is long enough that you don't find out you screwed up until the deadline is at least a month gone), but I've never heard of a rebate requirement that was physically impossible to properly submit. That would be the point where I'd be calling up the Shack's 1-800 number and suggesting that they might want to honor the rebate in spite of the UPC not being included on the basis that if they _were_ offering a rebate that you couldn't claim, they could be facing a nasty class-action lawsuit over it.

These assholes dicked me around for MONTHS saying my purchase wasn't made in the correct timeframe - it, in fact, was. I sent in all the proper documentation.
Fuck you, rebatestatus, i hope a dog shits on your grave.

Of course, this IS chapter 11, and not chapter 7. Which means the company is still operating.

It's like a surprise lottery, only not QUITE as retarded as the actual lottery.

Having worked in the same office space as a company that processes rebates/contest entries, many of these companies are as low budget and fly-by-night as one can get. The office basically smelled like a combination of stripper in daylight, trailer park, meth lab, and cocktail lounge.
People would walk out w/ a mail crate of entries (your personal information) and never return. Or, they'd be doing entry at home and their trailer would burn down. Or any number of oddly appropriate calamities related to this.

"This is why I don't bother buying things w/ "rebates"."
"I have received less than 1 in 10 rebates I have applied for."
Soooooo, do you or don't you?
