Thought ye were slicker than hot snot on a glass doorknob, didn't ye, Mr. no-reply@myplay.com(if, indeed that is your real name)? Below, you can find my reply to your no-reply, minus a graphic or 2:
I've been :eek:ing over this situation and I've decided that you guys are nuts! I mean, I thought that I was wacko, but you boys take the cake, which, by the way, is a criminal offense. Please relay to Christophe(r) that denial is a town like the one Groucho described when he said, "Right now my my plans are in Embryo, which is a town on the outskirts of wishful thinking". Denial is just down the road and across the tracks; either that. or it's a river in Egypt. But I digress, which is not to be confused with progress, egress or indegresstion, which is what you get when you have to eat your own words!
I'm back! I personally never used the locker because I always associated lockers with smelly jock straps, small spaces and a second home for nerds. Now that the sun is setting on the era of "free space", not to be confused with the 'free space' on the bingo card, is over, I'm kinda glad that I never took advantage of the "free"volous offer to place important information in something that seems to be so fleeting in all areas; "free"dom. It's odd that the word "freedom" would begin with the word "free", because it has always come at a great price! It IS, however, fleeting.
I don't really mind having something taken away that I never used, and thank you for your offer, and the withdrawal thereof. It will interest me to see how my Pastor will react to the word that refers to the Devil's home. After all, most of our folks use Winamp to listen to our church radio station, WPIP, in Winston-Salem, NC. The station can be heard 24 hrs. per day & can be found on the internet at www.wpipbereanradio.org.
It is also interesting that you will be closing the lockers on Dec. 3rd, which is my sister's birthday, and I'm sure that she will take it as a personal insult. After all, she is one of the 10 meanest women in the world, and she has just received love letters from the other 9! Ya'll be careful now, ya hear?!
So, I find myself in category 5: Acceptance. It is said that men seek to imitate that which they can do nothing about, which leads me to my last point.TRY TO STAY WITH ME HERE, FELLAS. It occurs to me that the first 3 letters in "winamp" are w-i-n, which is also the first 3 letters in the city of Winston-Salem. "Amp" is the name of one of the leading industries in Winston-Salem, and they are doing a lot of cutting back and pulling out as of late. Conclusion: Winamp was just part of a fiendish plot to catch us off guard, lulled into a false sense of security that you would always be here for us, even to those of us who never fully took advantage of the "locker conspiracy". Thus, the reason that I am in category 5: (1) I have no emotional attachment to the locker, (2) I never worked for Winamp, (3) Winston-Salem is a hyphenated word, but Winamp is not, (4) Amp is just a shortened version of ample, so we should have seen it coming, and (5) No one has ever answered to my satisfaction to the riddle that asks; If 2 cows can find contentment in a shack in Roanoke, Virginia, then how long does it take a grasshopper with a wooden leg to kick all of the seeds out of a dill pickle?
I now leave you with my famous last word:
BYE!
