Jared's Customers_Suck Posts / Ethnicity Survey / KFC Potato Wedges

Well, I *thought* I was going to get an early night in for once since I actually felt tired at 12:35 AM or so. However, my body had different ideas... this is why I got up at 4:25 AM instead of sleeping. Thank goodness I'm at home (unlike the LAST time I couldn't sleep!) so I can be semi-productive on the computer here. There's rain / wet snow outside, but I plan to stay home today anyhow. :D

Ah, here's something I can get into... satisfies my OCDL tendencies well enough, haha. Jared (smokedglass7429) asks if we RandomThought denizens can link his customers_suck posts for him. Sure, why not... I'm up now, haha! Might make interesting reading later on, too! ;)
