World's rudest DirectTV man, at our house right now. He came two and a half hours before his scheduled time and is now crashing through the house, stomping around while practically running through the place, throwing open doors so hard they bang into walls, knocking shit over, tracking mud around, and drilling holes in the walls and floor, telling my mother "No, we don't guarantee any of our work, you should buy the insurance package, then you don't have to pay if we have to come out again." We had to take everything out of my closet (a hope chest and two big Rubbermaid tubs and all my clothes) and stack it by my bed so he can get to the crawl space under the house, and he's acting all put-out that it took ten minutes. This man is the definition of boorish.

Violet would be aghast right now. I need to possess Maggie Smith's face.

UTTERLY UNRELATED but not really worthy of posting twice in one afternoon - DTW people:

• Would anyone happen to have the muse for a wife/mother of the Pureblood variety, somewhere in the 26-32 range, for a non-DE-still-Walpurgis newsman with the PB of Rupert Penry-Jones for your hubby and 2-3 daughters, with a son in a year or two?
• Does anyone with a Pureblood family need a sister, 23-27?
• So, I have all these ideas for Rosmerta, but no connections for her. I want her to be a Halfblood Hufflepuff ~31-ish, but I wouldn't mind a cousin or sibling, possibly a gentleman friend? War widow, no children; Order friendly though she tries to appear neutral to keep the Three Broomsticks friendly enough for anyone to frequent. Reads a lot, very kind/jovial/good-natured, absolutely spectacular bosoms.

jfkdls I didn't even know that people like that existed outside of cartoons.

I'd write him as a really radical rp character but I would have NO idea what his motivations would be; I'd be utterly confused as to why someone would go crashing through another person's house rather than treating it with more respect than their own.

[macguffin.insanejournal.com]

He has no motivations. He is a meaningless force of chaos, like the Joker. I'll bet if you phone the company now they'll claim they've never hired someone by that name.

Phantom!Installman for the super villain name?

[macguffin.insanejournal.com]

YES. Played by John Goodman in the movie. I was going to think of someone to cast in the inevitable prequel, but the Phantom Installman has no past so that would be impossible.

And everyone knows he gets electrocuted at the end of the movie, so there's no hope for sequel casting either. But you've made the right choice, when it counted.
