As a Christmas present for my parental units, I thought that I might look into purchasing a couple of tickets to see Tina Turner live, as they about lost their marbles last time they saw her live and on tour-- as opposed to dead and on tour, which is entirely plausible since James Brown's family took it upon themselves to make it so damn trendy.
Anyway, the folks were particularly impressed by the energetic sass and bottomless stamina that Tina had sported throughout the entire performance despite her advanced age. Now, keep in mind that this particular tour took place a handful of years ago, so imagine how impressed they'll be to see her strutting about the stage at age 69!
So I logged onto Ticketmaster and everything was going just fine and dandy until I was prompted for word verification; to read and re-type the two fuzzy words that appeared upon the screen before me for security purposes.
Those two words were: beaten well
No, I am not kidding.
I'm just sayin', highly inappropriate.

I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as I did just now.
But you're right... highly inappropriate.
Damn funny though.
GET OUT!
Really?
Ironic, for sure.
Bizza: I know, it cracked me up too.
Deb: Yes, really. Clearly there's a knucklehead, wiseguy at Ticketmaster that needs a swift smack to the back of the head.

I almost dropped my laptop I just laughed so hard. Thanks for that :)
Ticketmaster wants to make sure these tickets go to the real diehard fans. You know, the ones who are still holding out for that reunion with Ike.
p.s. The word verification for my comment here is "ourbedbo". I have no joke for that; I merely thought it worth mentioning.
Popping back in to wish you glad tidings.
Thanks Deb. Season's Greetings to you as well!

*_* Beaten Well?! *_*
Yikes! Definitely inappropriate. I'm reminded of that movie Final Destination. Maybe you can give them those little keychain size cans of mace with their tickets. Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm paranoid.
Happy Christmas, Jenji!
