Shame on you, Carol Flemming! For those of you who don't know, Carol Flemming is a California-based costume designer! She has a website at http://www.goldrush.com/~flemming/carols.htm! I didn't even link that, that's how little I respect her! Now lazy people won't go to her website--I've effectively cut her website traffic in half! Anyway, to get back on the subject, I found her page while searching the internet for information on The Noid! Yeah, I do research for this page! I don't just make stuff up, you know! After looking around her website for Noid content, I found that, back in the day, she actually designed the Noid costume for Domino's promotional events!

I was thrilled! Ever since I got a hug from "The Noid" during the Domino's Anniversary Day Sale(sure, now that I'm older I realize that it wasn't the real Noid, but I still look upon that event fondly!), I've wanted a Noid costume! And not a crappy little plastic mask with holes punched out in the eyes, either! I mean a full-fledged huge costume like the guy who hugged me wore! "How much does this baby cost?" is what I thought to myself! "Sure, it might be a little on the expensive side, but I just gotta get me one!" But I looked everywhere on Carol's website, and there was no price listed! Strike one, Flemming! I decided to e-mail her in order to inquire about the price! Here is what I wrote!

Dear person,
How much would a "Noid" costume cost? I checked your website thouroughly, but couldn't find a price. Thanks in advnace for your answer.

I was very polite and cordial in my letter! Here is Carol's response!

Noids run $1,500 five year warrenty cooling vest and carry bag. Are you with Domino,s ?

Strike two! $1,500 dollars? That is just obscene! Who does she think I am, Regis Philbin? Nobody has that much money to just give away! Heart-broken, I wrote back to her, pleading for her to give me a discount! Again, I was very polite to her! I did nothing that could be taken as rude! This was what I wrote!

That price is running a little steep. You say on your website that you offer really high quality costumes...do you think you could make a low quality costume and sell it specially to me? I am looking for something in the twelve dollar range. Thanks in advance for your response.

See? Nothing out of the ordinary...just standard haggling for a better deal! But then, out of nowhere, she comes back at me with this!

Not a chance in hell! Go fish!

Strike three, Flemming! You're outta there! But seriously, people...I have never been this insulted in my entire life! Was that really necessary? Just because I'm not as rich as, say, a spoiled little costume designer in California who has everything in life handed to her in a silver platter, I deserve to be cursed at? I'm sorry, but no! And "Go fish!"? That is just uncalled for! What is she trying to say, anyway? That I should go fish for a living, until I can save up enough money to purchase her over-priced, dumb little costumes? I have no idea! And for this, I say "Shame On You, Carol Flemming!"
