Milton Bradley – The “New Kanye West”

When I was growing up, Milton Bradley was a game company.   Then again, when I was growing up there wasn’t such a sense of entitlement and self-aggrandizing behavior.  Some people you love to hate.   I can’t even love hating him.  I think Milton Bradley should curl up somewhere dark and be forgotten.

Brent’s Deli 2 – The Mustard Gets Thicker

So my wife goes into Brent’s Deli yesterday (knowing full-well how I feel about that place) for lunch with her mom.  She was told she couldn’t be seated until her entire party was present.  She asked when that had changed because she’d never heard that before.  The hostess rudely told her that she’d just have to wait until her whole party was there.  My wife told the girl that she even knew what her mom was going to order but she made her wait anyway.  What fantastic customer service.  I will admit to having  a sandwich brought to me at work, but only because someone else was buying.   I’m not giving that Peskin family any more money.   Another customer service FAIL.

CARB spends $350k on Cow Fart Meters

California Air Resources Board are deploying 7 devices across California to measure the methane emissions from cows at a taxpayer expense of $350,000-400,000.  The purpose of the study is to determine if the estimated impact of cow farts on the composition of greenhouse gases and their effect on global warming.  The methane in cow farts contributes to a surprisingly-high 5% of all global warming gasses out there, with methane being 22 times more potent at capturing atmospheric heat than carbon dioxide. The good news?  California is spending tons of money on new equipment to benchmark this issue, while letting inmates out of jail to balance the budget.  The devices should be up and running by May 2010.
