So, I was trying to get into the Dick's sporting goods site
And I learned it's not dicks.com.

Whoops.

I was trying to see what they offered in rods. The selection sucked, though.

5. My CPA's name is Harry Beaver (a delightful Native American man),
you can imagine the embarrassment when I misspelled the name of his web domain!

8. Well, I went to the store the other day and they were Dick's.
I even called before looking for this batting training thing for my son and they're like yeah we have it. They're located in the mall, which I despise, they don't have it and it took me about 10 minutes so find someone to "help" me....to say they don't have it.

10. I try to avoid the one by me
I got snarked at by a high school student last year informing that they had fishing combos on sale for $25 better than an rod/reel I could put together (presumably because I do not have a penis). I felt like screaming at him, "douchebag, I have fishing trophies, and I'm looking to spend a couple hundred bucks on a rod & reel, and you're trying to sell me a rod for little kids."

The old guy in the gun dept is nice, though.

13. I called my husband after I left all pissed off and told them what
unhelpful douchebags they were. I ordered the batting thing over the internets when I got home, it came yesterday.

9. Don't try to check out the whitehouse
at whitehouse.com while you try to show non-internet savvy types how easy it is to get any information you want either.

Embaraskin!

11. It could have been so much worse, trust me:
My ex-girlfriend's family were very into "Scuba Diving".

Her mom wanted me to help pick out a gift for a family member,
and it was going to be a surprise gift, so she and I were alone
in the house when she went online and Googled the phrase "water sports".

"dicks.com" is NOTHING compared to the first 10,000 hits for "water sports".
Man, I used to think I was a sick thwisted perv...I'm feeling much better now.
