SPOILER: The Dark Knight Rises Ending

SPOILER ALERT!: Stop reading and looking at this post and move on right now if you have not seen The Dark Knight Rises. I take zero responsibility if you have not moved on to something else by now. Last chance.

Now, for those of you that have already seen it...

I can't be the only one who thought of this for at least a second during the final minutes of The Dark Knight Rises:


I know, the final minutes are intense and incredibly emotional but I'd be lying if I told you my mind didn't wander to the vision of that poster for a moment.

Live Mega Doppler 7000 Reports 80% Chance Of Complaining


Recap of Friday, July 13th, 2012:

  • I spent 9 hours at work today. Six of those nine hours were spent entertaining comments and complaints from window shoppers who took advantage of our free air conditioning and explained that it was hot and humid.
  • I ate America's Best Tri-Tip Sandwich at Wood Ranch today and yes, it is the best tri-tip sandwich in America.
  • I found this video online entitled "Oy It's So Humid" by 2 Live Jews:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at8hZpXyykM .
  • I caught up on everything Dee Gordon related: his twitter feed, his Facebook page, and his injury status ("Hey #DodgerFam just want to let you all know my surgery went great and I'm hoping for a speedy recovery!!"). He will be out 6 weeks.
  • I learned that this year's 2012 MLB All-Star Game received the lowest ratings of all time.
  • I smelled a whole lot of marijuana smoke while driving down my street (It's Friday!).
  • I chose the picture below to end this recap:

#MapleThief


The last 24 hours have been eventful. I threw up a large cup of coffee, my car battery died and left me stranded in BroVille (Fullerton, CA), my car alarm went bonkers, and today I was awarded with the joys of credit card fraud.

Some hoser, or hosette, was using my card number to buy gas from ExxonMobil, 76, and some place called Von's Fuel all located in Ontario Canada.

There's not much you can do about this kind of situation other than make a million phone calls and wait two months for everything to clear. Calling Wells Fargo to report this kind of fraud and cancel your card is a forty-five minute extravaganza filled with these kinds of questions and responses:

  • Did you authorize any of these disputed charges?: What?- Authorize what? Did I authorize the charges I'm disputing? No, that's why I'm calling.
  • Have you been to Canada recently?: No. I just made a purchase in Bellflower, CA.
  • Have you been to Ontario recently?: No.
  • Have you been to Ontario, California recently?: What? No.
  • Have you ever given your card to someone else?: Never.
  • Do you have your PIN number written on your card?: No.

At one point they ask if you've filed a police report which confused the hell out of me. They recommended I file a report but the police can't do anything if 1.) the charges won't go through for 3-5 days, 2.) the fraud happens outside the U.S., and 3.) your bank hasn't sent you that nineteen page claims form to fill out and process over two months. I didn't find all that out until Officer Joseph arrived to my apartment complex and chuckled at what I told him Wells Fargo told me to do.

As it stands now my debit card is dead and I'm using other methods of payment until this works itself out. Until then check your account daily, minimize online shopping, and don't visit Canada until those puck chucking syrup slugs repay my losses. Eh!
