Some of you may have noticed a marked improvement in the quality and quantity of posts and phone calls around here. Well, I’ve been busy. But I wrote next month’s schedule, and I’ll be available during decent hours once more. So the usual slipshod standards will return, and things will feel a bit more like home around here. Like somebody else’s home. With dirty laundry on the sofa.
Shoddy Service to Resume Shortly

Hey, BDB. Are you sure you won’t be busy next month? We were getting used to the improvements.
All the laundry on my sofa is clean. #FeelingSuperior
My wife does the laundry at my house.

I thought I had signed up for Shoddy Service Plus, which included snarky greetings and an annual insult on my birthday.
I shall engage in fruitless protest until further notice. If you play the BDB anthem, I am not sure I can do the requisite signs of respect, such as a Cossack fire dance , so I might have to take a knee.
However, being old school, when we take a knee, we try and replace it with one of equal value.
With Shoddy Service Plus you get two months free!
All for the price of a flat can of Coke.

There is a dimes worth of difference between the two websites.
Can we give our dime back?

Does this mean you are thinking about me, Brent?
The other site is Cents-less, Richard and this site is into change.
And here I was, complaining about not getting my Shoddy Service Plus package.
Open BDB and I get …. drum roll….
Connection refused
Now that’s the kind of SHoddy Plussness I expect.
Not just “error” , or some such nondescript word, but “Refused”
Now that is the surliness I need to brighten my day.
All joking aside- Welcome back BDB.

TKC1101, Similar to you, my first attempt to “connect” was refused; and like you, remaining persistent, my efforts to connect, were ultimately rewarded.
Welcome back BDB!
How did you get upgraded?
I demand an upgrade.
Upgrades are only granted to “special” people. Do you think you’re special?
I rode the short bus to BDB, does that count?
Depends on how high we can count.
Prove it, Brent. Pay 10 times the price for shoddy service then we tell you how special you are. As Monsieur Gump says, “Special is as special does.”
Huzzah, Beloved Admin! Has anyone piped you aboard?
More like piped overboard.
When do I get to come on deck, BDB? I don’t want to be BIP anymore. (Bilge Important Person)
