1) i like that your blog is the first link on your bookmark tool bar.
2) i appreciate that you searched fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu in the background.
3) your face [the cartoon one] is something i find actually fearful, and i am surprised the netflix pop up can still keep its composure. it's probably because he's a robot.
4) i can't tell you why this is an enumerated list, but it just felt right.
i wish your blog wasn't so entertaining that it kept me from listening in class, being productive in general and completing my homework, but really i don't mind. it's that good.
Katharina - I almost didn't want to get Netflix simply because of the annoying ads, but Boyfriend was like "Meeeeeeeeehhhhh, I want to watch mooooooooovvviiiiiiiiiiiieeeees." So we had to.
Becky - When I was making this, I was sitting there thinking "Please, God, let someone notice the 'did you mean fu?' part..." And you DID, Becky!!! This makes me very, very, very happy.
Was that what you were hoping? Because I was hoping it would be something like "a text abbreviation for 'fuck you'" or "the first two letters of the word fuck!"
LoveFilm - our version of Netflix - regularly sends me plastic gift cards (Free Two Week Trial!) in the post. The accompanying slew of printed crap suggests I give them away as gifts. How cheap would you have to be to do that? (Ka-ching! That's my Christmas shopping sorted right there!) Um, they have my name printed on them, so 1) bit of a weird 'gift' and 2) I feel compelled to destroy them before I throw them out due to some possibly paranoid and imagined identity-theft risk. Drives me bonkers.
Netflix loves me cause I always forget to send back my movies, and so do things like pay six months of Netflix fees so I can babysit their copy of "The man with one red shoe".
Then when they stop laughing, they finally send me the next movie in my queue which always sucks because I decided for some reason the last time I was sifting through movies that it had been way too long since I saw Innerspace.
In my world, a "fu" is half a fuck, usually because your erstwhile partner falls asleep during the act. Usually it's a one night stand. There is always drinking involved.
It was coined when a friend of mine went home with a guy, he fell asleep after "the act" had begun and she LEFT MY FAVORITE BRA AT HIS HOUSE because she was too embarrassed to look for it before she made her escape.
This makes me just about as enraged as LA Fitness who keeps sending me co-dependent emails entitled "Was it something we said?" because I cancelled my membership two years ago.

i totally feel your pain.
ReplyDeletei mean, this is practically the story of my life.
Allison - I will respond in kind:
ReplyDelete1) If I'm going to win the internet, I need to maintain my dominance over it at all times.
2.) I like to go the extra miles sometimes. I'm glad you noticed it :)
3.) Almost definitely a robot. Those Netflix ads ares some fearless sons of bitches, popping up during my dictionary time.
4.) I agree. Sometimes things just need to be numbered.

ReplyDelete"Did you mean fu?"
ReplyDeleteAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!
Becky - When I was making this, I was sitting there thinking "Please, God, let someone notice the 'did you mean fu?' part..." And you DID, Becky!!! This makes me very, very, very happy.
ReplyDeletedarn you netflix! you got what you wanted, now go away and bug someone without netflix.
ReplyDeletei'm going to go look up fu now. i hope it's what i think it is.
Are you a big dictionary.com fan? I only ask because I'm addicted to it and everyone thinks I'm weird.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever look up rude words and then click on the little picture of the speaker so that it seems like your computer's swearing?
Or is that just me?
Maureen - I looked it up!
ReplyDeleteFU:
1. Fouled up
2. Fucked up
Was that what you were hoping? Because I was hoping it would be something like "a text abbreviation for 'fuck you'" or "the first two letters of the word fuck!"
Mel - I'm going to go do that so much right now.
And that's why I don't own a tv.
ReplyDeleteIs that bees under your left arm???

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I hate those pop-ups. What are worse are the ones that tell you to shoot a bunny in order to win an iPod...
ReplyDeleteEvery time a NetFlix ad pops up, and angel kills a puppy. Or I stab someone in the face.

WORD.
ReplyDeleteI get this same way about Cialis ads.
ReplyDeleteMY PENIS IS ALREADY BROKEN!! STOP RUBBING IT IN!!
I wish I could rub it in without Cialis.
Maybe I should stop complaining.
Damn they're so pushy!!!:D
ReplyDeleteI hate pop-ups!!!! I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteI voted for you for featured blogger. ;D
Do you get Netflix fliers in the mail all the time too? I'm like, "You guys? I'm already your biggest fan! Leave me alone!!"
ReplyDeleteeh, close enough. i was hoping it would be f-you as well.
ReplyDeletethis has totally made me realize why no one is ever scared of me when i fly into a rage. i need MORE TEETH.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure they want your soul, Allie. :( But don't give it to 'em. They've already got plenty.
ReplyDeleteThat popup is actually kind of cute. He's only a slave to his job, you know? It's not his fault!
ReplyDeleteYes, Netflix stalks me on the interwebs AND in the mail. A big "FU" to them, too!

NetFlix doesn't have VHS. Netflix doesn't get the Jetson's money.

ReplyDeletehahaha --no results for fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
ReplyDeleteomg, did you say you are trying to win the internet? enough said... you have a new fan.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is... you're using a mac, and safari no less! ZING!
