7/21: Not Cutting Back On Cable Upgrades
7:30 p.m.
• Christ, like I don’t stay home enough already – just got off the phone with the Comcast guy for this package deal. For the past year I’ve had this $100/month deal (fuck this $99.99 shit) where I got Digital Cable, Internet and phone service all under the Comcast umbrella. This deal expires tomorrow and I was eligible for a Digital Premier Bundle for $160/month. I will now be getting all the HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, TMC, Encore and Starz channels, along with an upgraded tier of digital channels and a DVR. Now I really don’t care that much about getting premium channels – when Mrs. kkk and I moved back to Pennsylvania in 2003, we took this special offer from Comcast where we got Digital Cable and some premium channels for a cheap price for six months. Once this expired we cancelled the digital service and went on with life. What made me take this service is that the aforementioned $100/month deal is ending and the normal cost for this stuff is somewhere around $120/month – why not do an extra $40 and get all this other stuff. Remember, it’s not so much being a Jew with your money but rather the kind of value you get.

• So with this being third full season where I’ve been mowing the yard, I’m actually surprised to learn that I don’t mind doing this shit during the summer months. I thought the spring/fall seasons would be more acceptable to me because I hate humidity. However, the summer months also features a dry lawn, which makes cutting so much more easier than when my grass-killing contraption clogs up with damp grass every 10 feet of mowing.
• I read this in the paper today and just had to share the best parts
An ice cream salesman spent a night in jail after a meltdown resulting from the heat of competition.
Nazzareno Didiano, 46, was released Thursday from the Allegheny County Jail after police accused him of slashing the tires of a competitor's ice cream truck in Mellon Park in Shadyside.
Police said Kathleen Murphy was dishing cones July 1 in the parking lot when Didiano pulled up in his truck, started screaming at her and told her she was taking business away from him.
He then retrieved a long knife, and told Murphy, "You're cutting my throat. I'm cutting your throat and your (expletive) tires," according to a police affidavit.
Didiano, whose address was not listed on the police report, then sliced Murphy's right front tire, police said…
…It's not the first time Didiano has lost his cool in the ice cream business.
In 2005, Common Pleas Judge John A. Zottola served Didiano 18 months of probation for punching a Bloomfield teenager in the face because the boy cursed at Didiano over his ice cream prices.
During the trial, the teen said Didiano grabbed him by the arm, yanked him from his bike, punched him in the face and slammed him into a wall.
Zottola ordered Didiano to take anger management classes.
Didiano told the teen he didn't need any ice cream because he was fat.
The teen responded by calling Didiano a "bald (expletive) ripoff." Didiano later attacked when he found the boy sitting on a bike two blocks away.
