Nearing 10,000

[plonq]

The people who we ordered new windows through waited until we'd already confirmed the order and paid our deposit before telling us that they can't install the windows we want because of building codes.

They had no less than two different people come out to take measurements and confirm the order before they figured that part out.

Anyway, I'll bitch more about that later. First, ponies.

The /r/mylittlepony sub-reddit is getting very close to the 10,000 mark for subscribers. I was mulling on that fact while I was out for a walk today and this silly comic came to mind, so I tossed this together this evening and will probably post it to Reddit tomorrow.

My immediate impression of your windows problem is "WTF", but not necessarily reduced to 3 letters.

Well, that's annoying. :( What window company is it? I know there's a building code for bedroom windows - you have to be able to escape through them in case of a fire, and the part that opens needs to be at least 15" on all sides as well as 3.77 square feet minimum... are there other codes that come into play? I had two estimates last year that were really high. One guy didn't discuss any alternatives with me at all. I should start over and get some new estimates this next month.

Baw! You said "Almost ten-thousand" instead of "OVER NINE THOUSAAAAND"

Honestly, how often do you actually have that opportunity?

What, on a message board full of geeks you don't think anybody else thought to use that line?

By the time the counter hit 10,000, I (and pretty much everybody else) was ready to take that lame "OVER NINE THOUSAND" meme out back and put a bullet in it. Putting that in my little comic would have been a one-way ticket to getting down-voted into oblivion.

Aw, okay, yeah, I wasn't exposed to the messageboards, so I forgot how saturated you would have been.
