Giant Robot Store and GR2 News

Perfect. I was almost hoping someone would say this. (read the comment below.) I asked the webstore folks the question: Why aren’t they just picking the packages up? mikemike said, “cuz they’re assholes…” That’s a strong response from a super mild mannered person. I know you can order a pickup online. They are supposed to come and pick everything up the next day. Their excuse is that online, our address for giant robot isn’t registered to the webstore address.

Everyone needs to be a star, and this is more proof of that. Phony holmes has karaoke samples of himself on singshot. Listen in, or not. Next will be video.
