Helloooooo, Our Shiputzim fans!
The Our Shiputzim reservations department has informed us that the response to our recent invitation has not been as overwhelming as we may have hoped.
To that end, we turned to our PR department and asked them to help out in this regard.
The PR department, in turn, said that they have two words for us:
Beta.
Testing.
Huh?, we naturally said.
The PR people patiently replied that our potential guests are probably loath to serve as guinea pigs. In other words, no one wants to be the first person to stay in our “newly renovated guest suite” - if I may quote a RL (real life) friend of ours. The solution, the PR people explained, is to have some beta testers stay here in TRLEOTB (the real life equivalent of this blog). Assuming that the testers would provide positive feedback on their stay, we would then be able to allay some of our potential guests’ concerns.
And, so, this past Shabbat we did just that. Friends of ours were making a simchah over Shabbat, and we hosted some of their guests.
Little did these guests know that they were actually here as beta testers.
In any event, you will all be pleased to learn that they assured us that they were very comfortable. In fact, the commenter named “INeedAC” (known to long-time readers of this blog for his Swedish language skills) will be glad to know that the unwitting testers remarked – unprompted - that it was “very nice and cool.”
And so, there you have it.
We once again remind our readers that the Our Shiputzim reservations department is waiting for your call…
Well Hi after quite a bit. We were travelling seeing a hot hurricane-prone part of the world. In case you are interested, we were not part of those people who try out the waves while the hurricane is blowing. Quite dangerous...
ReplyDeleteAs usual, I enjoyed catching up on all the various posts and comments. Keep it up!!
We would like to make a reservation. If the reservations department would contact us, we would like to confirm a relevant date. Just do you take VISA or only cash ;) Is the price negotiable? Or is it a fixed price?
The hotel where we stayed (now flooded) gave free water, Internet access, free color printing, and free use of bicycles and helemts. Do you supply any or all of the above? Or maybe you have some other features?
I understand that you aren't ready for children. So, I can prove (with our AARP cards) that we are not children. Will that be OK? Do we get a discount?
Our reservations department would like to confirm your reservation for the coming weekend and for Rosh Hashana. So hoping to hear from you, bye for now...
Welcome home!

I was actually not aware that you were the type to try out waves even when hurricanes are not blowing...

I'm not sure if they read this blog. I suggest you contact them directly.

Speak to the reservations department. I'm sure they can work something out for you.
