An online store with a sense of humor

I don't usually feel like I have enough to say about anything to merit posting twice in one day. However, this was something that got me laughing. And of course, you have to get the back story before you can understand it all :). At least in my opinion. Well, if you have looked at my links on the side, you will have seen links to Shorty & Slim stuff. Well, this morning I finally got around to ordering their 4th CD (to view it, order it, or hear clips from it, click here). Unless you have some personal link to Panama (the country), this will probably not interest you. But the CDs hold great interest for me and I love them (I already have the other 3). The songs make me nostalgic, but some of them crack me up too. So, I bought them from this website (the only way to purchase them now) www.cdbaby.com and got an email telling me a real person would send me a follow-up email when they ship the items. Here is the notification they sent after they shipped the package... And tell me this doesn't give them a little flair? It had me laughing at any rate. Oh, and PS... If you do view their video on youtube (I have a link on the right), you can see my 11th-grade Physiology teacher. He's the one with the lighter-colored hair (aka Shorty).

Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.
A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing. Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy. We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Monday, September 10th.I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're allexhausted but can't wait for you to come back to
CDBABY.COM!!Thank you, thank you, thank you!Sigh...
