My Milkshake Brings All The Boys To The Yard

God, you really get some winners on the phone, don't you?

I think that was David Letterman buying the pants. You, Worldwide Pants...?

I must thank you for all the fascinating visuals, though. Well, some of them...

Ooops, meant to say you know...

800 dollars worth of pants is a lot even at the stores I shop from. You'd have between 15-20 pairs of pants. And i don't think GK's customers pay as much for their pants as I do.

You spend over 40 dollars for a pair of pants? Am I weird that a staple of my wardrobe is pairs of jeans for less than 10 euro?

[Gravekeeper]

Can we have a few more details on this one? Please?

Not much else to say on that one, I'm only the dispatcher.

Curious thing about the Lower Mainland, your birth, life, death and the company that has to clean up after your gruesome demise ( Yes, they specialize in crime scene clean up ) will all go through me. I shall take you from cradle to grave =p

Usually the officers are nice enough to spare me vivid detail. But sometimes they delight in cheerfully filling me in. Though I think the worst was still the one where they called in for the body. Then called back a few hours later to inform us they found more of the body. I think I mentioned that one in a post a while back. >.<

It's not a straightforward conversion, unfortunately. There's the exchange rate (no idea what it is right now, and can't be bothered to look it up), but also the cost of living to take into account.

We had a lady here local to me try to cross the highway on foot and got hit by a semi (18-wheeler) at highway speeds. They had to close the entire highway for four hours to clean her up.

I've been meaning to ask two questions about GK in general

1) Which line is Hot Tips calling you on?

2) What's the price range of this catalog? I'm trying to picture how many hats and pants these people are buying. If it's like Walmart, they bought like 80 pairs. If it's like Talbots, they just bought three. I'm guessing somewhere in between?

Its been so hot out lately that my dress code has been half naked in my underwear, with the barn door open and a fan aimed squarely at my velvet marble bag.

Yay?

You really drove by the poor guy and became so offended by his bare calves you had to call someone to try and report him?

What are you, a Puritan? "Oh, god, he hath shown us his ankles, and it made my face redden like a beet! Smite him!"

The seats face each other across the doors.

Which I'm sure means there are going to be tripping hazards all over when the seats are full with people who have just blown a wad of cash on frivolous pants and can't quite wedge the package into their seats, and thus have them sprawled all about the walkway.

in July……as Christmas Presents?!

Hey, soon as I can, I plan to start celebrating *finger quotes* 'Christmas' in July... buy presents, avoid mad rush in December, confuse the hell out of people I might be buying presents for, as why should they expect them in July?

6 days in the apartment in this weather with the windows closed......you didn’t know the true meaning of regret till you reached for that door knob, did you?

You know, the Mythbusters did something like that, only it was a dead pig, wrapped in a blanket, left in a sealed car... When finally twas opened, the pig runneth out the door... no, literally... "Dead pig stew, anyone?"

I seem to remember Gravekeeper having been asked this before. I also seem to remember that the answer was that he couldn't say due to reasons of confidentiality agreements, losing his job, and people being somewhat irked, not necessarily in that order.

The standard advice we give for posting here is to obfuscate things so as not to endanger your employment.

Correct, it is all supar sekret.

The most expensive pair of pantage is $109. The catalog prices range from $15 to $300 depending on the item. It use to just all be outdoor wear and gear. But they discovered sales were even better if they sold ridiculously stupid looking "gangsta" labels for them to wear under the outdoor gear.

I would be embarrassed to even see someone wearing half this crap. But I guess I'm from a generation were the inability for a grown man to pull up his pants was still considered to be totally idiotic.

I love your posts. I really, really do. Know why? Because I talk w/ the American "version" of your customers 5 days a week.

I believe this means that you also need to start posting epically long stores for us to enjoy at your expense.

Ah. That didn't come up in my searches, so I'm very sorry for not thinking that through. I didn't really think about it that way because he says generally what some of the lines are, so I was like, "Wait, is HT calling him on, like, the after-hours emergency line or the pants catalogue line? Because those are some different kinds of crazy right there..."

Again, very sorry. Hope I didn't offend.

[Gravekeeper]

I love your posts. I really, really do. Know why? Because I talk w/ the American "version" of your customers 5 days a week.

Half my callers are American, sadly. If not more. Many of our "big" client accounts are American. Don't think you guys are innocent in all this. Its just as much your fault as it is ours. >.>

I'm not quite willing to let Australia off the hook either.

Again, very sorry. Hope I didn't offend

Of course not. I'm just NDA'd is all.

[Rapscallion]

Again, very sorry. Hope I didn't offend.

Certainly none taken by me. It's a big board and with a vast amount of posts it can be hard to read everything.
