Furby Fright

The one where I didn't like my roommate's new Furby toy....







For the last week, my roommate, Audrey, has been taunting me with her newest addition to Stoughton Island, her Furby, Pooter.  I'm not sure if you're familiar with the newest 2012 Furby release, but it is a horrible, horrible little robotic creature that I will never learn to love.  Since Audrey wouldn't listen to me when I kindly asked her to get rid of her new pet, I knew Hasbro would have my back.
  



The abnormally fast response rate and my ability to reach the former CEO blew my mind. Great guy.





The return label kindly provided by Hasbro that will be used to exile Pooter.





Even when I am able to escape the home that Pooter and I now share, I am constantly receiving Snapchats, videos and pictures keeping me informed on Pooter's whereabouts and life updates.

    When I was about eight years old and moved houses, I put my Furby in a box along with my other toys. The first night that I was in my new house, I didn't have time to unpack my toys, so they were still in a box in my room. In the middle of the night, my worst nightmare began. My Furby came alive. It would not stop moving or making noises. Scared for my life, I kicked the box, which only elicited more noise from the creature. Around 4 am, I couldn't take it any longer. I rummaged through the box, found the Furby, and then threw it out my window.

    Because of Furbys, I am scarred for life. I am now deathly afraid of any animal of that size, such as squirrels. Thanks for the post, Gina. You have finally put some of my worst nightmares to rest.

Alma Mater Mayhem

The one where I finally graduated college and my university removed the historical "graduation picture" statue.... For those of you who don't attend U of I, the Alma Mater was removed from campus this year for renovations and repairs.  As graduation approached, we were informed that she would not return in time which caused an uproar, as it's the iconic place to take your picture in a cap and gown.   Got my response!   The letter caught her attention (she CC'd the Dean of the College of Business and the Event Director of the Alumni Association).  We'll see what they plan for this alma mater event.

Bud Light "Born on" Blasphemy

The one where we got tricked into drinking expired beer... I'm not sure if anyone actually reads that little date on the front of a Bud Light case or not.  I finally did for the first time the other day and realized how misleading it is... It must have been the fact that the beer was warm that made me think it was stale.  Even though I was wrong, I wasn't going to give up that easily. And for the win... Free beer and a hat!!!

Chipotle Concern

The one where I convinced my local Chipotle to extend their hours... I don't know where I'd be at in life if it weren't for Chipotle.  If you're not a regular burrito/burrito bowl/even taco salad consumer, then you're not living.  The only thing that I disagree with Chipotle on is their hours of operation.  I sent this one to a lengthy list of people at corporate and word on the street is that it even got looked over by the CEO!  Probably one of my proudest moments in college. And finally....the response I've been waiting for... Jason's the man!  He ended up making a deal with me to open up at 10am for two Saturdays in November.  The first one was a bust.  I made the mistake of staying in the night before the opening and that was when I realized how difficult and painful it is to eat a burrito at 10am when you're perfectly sober.  He decided to make it a little interesting and raised the ...
