Bears repeating. From the Blue Origin site (or at least most of it): "Blue Origin means 'Earth.' We envision a future where millions of people will live and work in space with a single-minded purpose: get free same day delivery"
I had home delivery of WaPo for years until I moved out of the area, when I switched to a digital subscription. I cancelled due to the new editorial policy and my subscription has now lapsed. It ticks me off that the WaPo that was part of my life for so long has been taken away by a putz.
To clarify, wouldn't it be ostentatious wedding, not marriage? The wedding is the event, the marriage is the relationship. I guess the marriage could be ostentatious also, but not in this context.
As usual, a hilarious column and the fun Gene Poll! And the comments section doesn’t disappoint. We all hit the yes button so fast we missed the better option of “yes, eff him”. Please tell us who published the Washington Ghost. I am wondering if it is our esteemed Gene.
Well, I completely took a different read of your comment on the first (second & third) scan and I was just trying to think "WHAT idea is better than execution?" because for a certain tyrant, I can't think of any idea better than execution.
"Yes, eff him" is overkill and that's a defining Bezos characteristic. "Yes " is sufficient. Also since everything about him screams "Overcompensation for an undersized, uh, Blue Horizon", effing seems beside the point.
We order things from Amazon, large things which their distribution network delivers itself, only to have them never arrive. Last time they resent it and it came a week late (their tracking said the first spent 3 days in a local warehouse, and then suddenly it disappeared.) Now we're awaiting a second item, again delayed. Apparently the man doesn't know how to run a delivery service and his employees are stealing him blind. Think Lauren may figure out how to steal from him? Excepting for his money he doesn't appear to be the man of anyone's dreams.
Damn, I clicked "yes" so fast that I didn't see "Yes, eff him." I want to change my vote.
I 8th that remark.
Me, too, er, 9?
Same here.
Me three
Eh not much difference between the two.
Same!
Me too! I wanna change my vote!
"Eff" him? How quaint.
Fuck Bezos.
And the Blue Origin dildo he flew in on.

I have missed her!
Dave Barry could not have done any better.

My parents got the Post AND the Star while I was growing up
But, it's time. After umpteen years of daily delivery, I am dropping to Sunday only and the web subscription.
I feel bad for my delivery person, as she does a great job even way out here in the burbs.

What a charm to read! I worked for the Star up to the final day of publication. It’s long gone, as is my subscription to WaPo.

Hilarious!!! I’ve heard that the citizens of Venice are planning to protest the nuptials.
The first time I saw the happy couple was at the inauguration and wow was that an eye opener!!!
Talk about midlife crisis- whew.

Where’s the option for “idea better than execution”?

Now I can’t unread it that way lol
Two damaged people with broken self-esteem. Do people still register their wedding gift wishes with the psych ward at the local clinic?
I find it very funny, and appropriate.

Eff. I called it a "Blue Horizon" rather than a "Blue Origin." Sorry.
Can "yes, eff him" be a common answer for the next few years?
Wow. Just…wow.

I still have a fake "Post" that was put out by the "Yes Men" a few years ago, but not sure they did this or no. Brilliant!
