Clamato Tortilla Chips!

I know I've written at length at how appalled I was at the idea of Clamato in the past, but I think I've softened. When I visited Toronto last year, a few friends introduced me to the "Bloody Caesar," Canada's favorite cocktail, which takes the tomato juice out of the Bloody Mary and replaces it with Clamato. I'm not saying I've run out to buy gallons of the stuff since, but it's no longer to the point where I can't look at a bottle of it in fear of nausea. With that testimonial out the way, I'd like to formally introduce you to Clamato tortilla chips, followed by several exclamation points inside parenthesis.

They're honestly not bad. I detected no clam presence, with the chips feeling more like "tomato juice chips," so heavily salted that they could've very well been forged with snake broth and nobody would notice. I kind of wish they were gross because it'd make for a more interesting story, but I think the mere fact that Clamato has been realized as a tortilla chip is story enough. By the way, this is your Saturday Night Thread.

Clerks II – a missed opportunity.

Hey Mystie–was that you I saw at Qdoba in Park City yesterday? If it wasn’t, it was your twin.

Ryane: Well, I am a paragon of understated humility.

I didn’t know so many of you worked in call centers. Er…if one of you tried to sell me a free trial subscription to the New York Times, and I told you that I couldn’t use it because I’d recently suffered a massive stroke which had crippled my ability to translate written symbols into language, and you were quiet for a really long time, and then tried to sell me the large print edition, and I told you that you were an insensitive clod…yeah, sorry about that. Kudos on your tenacity, though. Oh, and if you ever tried to sell me satellite tv and I declined on the grounds that I’d recently been blinded in a lab accident and suggested that you were trying to make some sort of sick joke, or if you ever tried to get me to switch to a new credit card and I drew you into a philosophical discussion on either my deep-seated and pathological fear of change or the necessary pursuit of thoreauvian simplicity in the face of technological complexity…likewise.

Chupacabra – Nope, wasn’t me. My doppleganger is probably at it again. I’ll have to be on my toes for the next few days, this isn’t the first time she’s tried to take over my life. After all, I am the pillar of envy with my room in my parents house, my lack of boyfriend, and my $9/hr job.

Though if you feel like heading up to Berks next month, you can probably catch me at the East Coast Gaming Expo last weekend in August. They’re running commercials this year, so if you’re in Lancaster you might start seeing some in a few weeks.

Worst customer service story?

I worked at a call center for Best Western. We always had a pervert call late at night looking for women to talk to. Since we only had a limited number of people working after about 10:00, we all talked to him at times. While my voice is not nearly as masculine as I would prefer, it still must have turned him off because he’d hang up on me, looking for a woman. Unfortunately, my commmission was based on the number of rooms booked vs. the number of calls received. Sometimes, when this jerk called, and I got him, the women were all busy. He’d call back over and over again, and I couldn’t do anything. The calls just "dropped in"- you never actually "answered" the phone by picking it up or pushing a button. And he would do it dozens of times while trying to get to a female operator. I tried to get the bosses to not count calls under 10 seconds against my bonus, but they refused saying the computer couldn’t sort that. I knew that was BS or they were too stupid to run their own program, because the average length of calls was reported to you, although it didn’t help your bonus any. I think the bosses just wanted to keep the money.

I think I lost $100s because of that stupid pervert. And the women all got huge bonuses because he’d book hotel rooms with fake credit card numbers until he was "finished."

Clamato: the hideous cousin of the Tomacco.

I’ve never been a big fan of "Clamato" (don’t/won’t eat mussels of any kind, period), but the same company also makes Beefamato juice, which is great stuff.

The taste of a hamburger, in liquid form!
