Why can't I go to the website of the company Toyota and order a car. Why must I go to the local Honest Jim's Horseshit Emporium and Haberdashery and waste 3 hours of my time

If you see me at APSA feel free to heartily slap me on the back as a greeting. I’ll be the white male so should be easy to spot. Don’t hesitate, just do it. It’s even better if it’s a surprise.

The entire Philadelphia airport is closed and our plane is in a holding pattern above it? What the fuck did you people do?

Correctly didn’t buy a book because I guessed they would be giving it away free later. Locked in, operating at a level few can understand.
