So what's the 411 on this?  I've got Monitors, Anit-Monitors and Guardians (of the globe AND universe) that I'm waiting to take care of.

Good Afternoon

On behalf of Technology Integration Group, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to compete for your business. 

Blah blah blah, form letter, form letter, form letter.

Best,

Kyra

And then there’s a PDF attached with a quote.  Long story short, it’s for:

SAMSUNG : TFT active matrix - 46 Inch - 1366 x 768 - 3000:1 – 8 (yes, 8 of them)

Open Market

Each monitor runs, well, it’s more than 5 grand, less than 6, and closer to 5,848.43

Yes, a grand total of 52,635.87.

So, I’ve decided that most things at this point will be complete non sequiturs.

Not sure what your requesting here…..I sent a quote an hour ago.

So, if I’m going to act like a jerk, I might as well quote from The Jerk.

Well I'm gonna to go then! And I don't need any of this. I don't need this stuff, and I don't need *you*. I don't need anything. Except this.
[picks up an ashtray]

And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this ashtray... And this paddle game. - The ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need... And this remote control. - The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need... And these matches. - The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control, and the paddle ball... And this lamp. - The ashtray, this paddle game, and the remote control, and the lamp, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The paddle game and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches for sure. Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, and this magazine, and the chair.

And I don't need one other thing, except my dog.

I don't need my dog.

Thank you IMDB.

Now, I don’t know if she didn’t read this, or if emails crossed in the ether, but she’s surprisingly unphased by my previous email.

Mr. Jackson

Sorry one more thing…..Samsung is wondering what your planning on doing with the TV’s you are buying and if you require digital signage software?  Let me know if you require any additional information or if there are any questions I can answer for you.

I plan on making an invincible army of hybrid monitor/ape warriors.

Barring that, a vincinble army will have to do.

And if not that, I'm just gonna go to a zoo and feed the monkeys.

 After that, I've not heard back.  My army would have been glorious.  GLORIOUS I SAY!
