Google is down?

Fifty thousand posts is a lot of posts.

Fair enough. Americans way over dress their salads.

I hope not, but I only Google what I am interested in knowing.

In this context, a poster who either flames out

in a spectacular meltdown, or (more commonly)

in a series of escalating conflicts with others (resulting in suspensions) that foreshadow the inevitable banishment.

The single poster equivalent of this:

A kid I was in high school with died from huffing hairspray. It was the first time that I'd ever heard of huffing.

You must seek the emaciated look.

I wouldn't know.

Hmm isnt the huff the part where someone leaves in a dramatic fashion before flaming and burning?

Anyway, here's another one: define ORDER FULFILLMENT. Once you do that, I'll tell you a funny story about my convo today with the online store I ordered tires from last night.

That's easy. when you are satisfied with your purchase or either bike swag or food.

I'll bet the store's version of is more along the lines of we have sent the ordered goods out of our warehouse it is no longer our problem.

I disagree. Trollheim and top shelf are mutually exclusive terms. Trollheim is the very opposite of top shelf.

One can continue a huff after exodus, but the forum members only see the pre-departure huff.

I do not often use the second term.

quite likely. [MENTION=140600]LAJ[/MENTION] races. The truly fast road racing cyclists are skinny.

From what I recall, trollheim was largely a bunch of childish name-calling.

correct.

Was he far enough away from his cart he didn't notice?

Roll!

This is why I avoid Costco.

you can't avoid the crazed old men forever.

That has not been my experience

I assume by "there" you mean Trollheim.

It's worse than childish. Adults acting like pervs, hanging out at night in the basement at their computer with the lights out. I followed a thread in there and thought, these people are ****ing crazy.

In other news, I think it was certainly a huff. People huff and return and then eventually flame out.

Haha it was Seinfeld-esque.

Last night I order some new race tires I want to try. I choose expeditated 2-day shipping. Before I finish checking out, it occurs to me that paying extra for 2-day shipping makes no sense if the item won't ship for 5 days say. So I'm looking around for a tab to click on the website to figure this out. And then I see it right there on my checkout screen: ORDER FULFILLMENT 2-3 BUSINESS DAYS.

Sounds promising but I realize I don't 100% know what the term ORDER FULFILLMENT means. So I google it and the first hit I get is the Wikipedia defintion: Order fulfillment (in British English order fulfilment) is in the most general sense the complete process from point of sales inquiry to delivery of a product to the customer.

Ok, I proceed with the order, sounds like the tires will ship in a day. I wonder if I'll perhaps have them by Friday in time for Saturdays race. One of them is going on a new wheel that will require a tubeless conversion, easier to have LBS do that if it's Friday afternoon, I might need to give them heads up if I'm going to ask for a last minute something.

By mid day today no email that my tires have shipped, so I decide to call. No biggie if the tires arrive Monday but I want to give the heads up to LBS if it's gonna be Friday.

Me: Hi, Im Heathpack. I ordered some tires from your site last night and I was calling to see if they were going to ship today?

Customer Service Agent: NO WAY, THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

I'm somewhat taken aback by the tone.

Me: What? I paid for 2-day expeditated shipping and your site said ORDER FULFILLENT would be 2-3 business days. I have a race on Saturday.

CSA: NO WAY CAN I GET YOU THE TIRES IN 2-3 DAYS. THE REASON THEY'RE SUCH A GOOD PRICE IS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THEM IN MY STORE, IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HAVE THEM HERE. I HAVE TO GET THEM FROM MY WAREHOUSE AND THAT TAKES 2-3 DAYS. THEN I SHIP THEM TO YOU. THEN YOU GET THEM 2 DAYS AFTER THAT! EVERYONE ALWAYS WANTS TO ORDER SOMETHING AT THE BEGINNING OF WEEK AND GET IT BY FRIDAY BECAUSE THEY'RE RACING OR GOING CAMPING OR WHATEVER! ITS JUST NOT REALISTIC! <He takes me through the concept that there are warehouses in various locales and the warehouse might not be close to me and anyway people just can't retrieve items from warehouses instantaneously>

WTF with this attitude?

Me: <quoting the Wikipedia defintion of ORDER FULFILLMENT which I re-googled while the guy was ranting at me>

This goes over like a lead balloon.

CSA: I KNOW WHAT ORDER FULFILLMENT MEANS!

Me: I don't think you do.

Total lol. If I didn't really want these tires and he wasn't selling them cheap...

His business would be an ideal candidate for Amazon fulfillment.

How much money did you save and was it worth dealing with Rant Boy?

Maybe chatting with Rant Boy enhanced the overall buying experience. So, bonus.

Maybe this is a reason people in Florida are so crazy.

OK, it was a huff, but not a real (memorable) HUFF.
