Super-fun Saturday - pre x-mas edition

Well, I must say that this time of year can get just hairy enough to cause a blog-lag.
My apologies.
...continuing;
I think that it's very mean & cruel to accuse an entire family, especially during the holiday season, of retardation.
Today I made an exception;
Stupidest family EVER!
Father: phones ahead of time, requests everything you've ever heard on the radio in a loud/annoying voice. (I had been warned of their arrival by the end of this call)
Mother: wanders around store with loud/annoying voice bitching about how she can't watch a movie in the presence of her son, due to being stupidly loud/annoying.
Son: Wanders around store acting like an ultra-annoying combination of mother & father while acting like a five year old. (age 15 maybe)
I will point out that this particular family, while still an excellent case-study, did NOT appear to be addicted to any crack or crystal meth, were overall very friendly, and are probably surprisingly functional, whatever that means. The thing is that you just wouldn't want to, you know, visit their house, for sanity's sake.
Also, the parents appear to have originated from Newfoundland... let the newfie jokes begin!

The phone rings and I answer it;
"Yes hello, I wanted to buy a Santana CD... but I just got out of, well, umm, jail... I have a pre-paid Mastercard... she said it wouldn't be on the card for a couple days... can I just give you the credit card number... I'm calling from (enter distant city here)... do you have a Four Tet CD... (continues to give me a complete biography of the artist known as Four Tet)..."
With lots of friendly blabber in between the ...'s, I was ready to go up to (enter distant city here) and just put Mr. phoning guy out of his misery.

Only 9 days until the end of the war on christmas 07!!!
