Free can of pork and beans with purchase of home
Kirsten's blog, Belly Shirts, just informed me of a fantastic deal for a free can of pork and beans with the purchase of a home from Clayton Homes of Colombia, Tennessee.
This offer was so ridiculous I thought it had to be a joke. I couldn't find evidence of the promotion after a quick look around the Clayton Homes Website, so I decided to give them a call.
I have been meaning to give google voice's call record feature a try. Google currently lets you record incoming calls by hitting the number 4, but you can not record outgoing calls. Luckily I found a convenient contact form on their website , and I was soon waiting for my call from Clayton Homes.
The actual call is a bit lame. There is a lot of miscommunication. I didn't do any impressive prank phone call stunts except accidentally convince the guy that I was a woman. I guess my terrible accent sounded effeminate. I just went with it. The most important part of the call is official confirmation that this promotion is the real deal. Sadly I got disconnected when I was trying to give him the number where he could call me back. I didn't hang up on him. The phone cord got pulled tight, so I bet there is a bad connection. It's too bad. I thought Toy and I would become friends. Oh well.

Actually, I DID sell my home
Actually, I DID sell my home about 15 years ago by offering a free ham with purchase (four days only). Later, a Realtor who had worked with us months earlier tried to tell us that he had referred the buyer, but the buyer denied it, saying, "I bought it for the ham!"
Good luck with the pork and beans.
Also, that phone conversation
Also, that phone conversation was rad.
"Toy"? Strange but true.
The vegetarian bit almost did me in. Holy crap, Brian. This is the stuff legends are made of.
Yea, I had no idea what he
Yea, I had no idea what he was talking about. I thought he was trying to calling me Toy. I kept insisting that my name was Cody (the name I put on the little call me form), which is apparently a unisex name.
And it is hard to overstate how pleased I am with the high contrast b&w photo. I keep scrolling up to stare narcissistically at myself even as I write this now.
This is fantastic, Brian!
This is fantastic, Brian! All this time I've been thinking "I WOULD buy a house, but there just aren't any really excellent deals out there..." and then I saw this. It practically sells itself. Which I think is the point.
Oh, and I like the high-contrast, black and white picture. That's basically the biggest step you can take with a blog.
Wow! I spent enough time in
Wow! I spent enough time in Tennessee to be very familiar with the Claytons- and even after knowing quite a few of them, I'm still stunned by this. I'm just sitting here shaking my head in disbelief.
Ahh! I am ALSO mad that I'm
Ahh! I am ALSO mad that I'm at work and don't have speakers. I can't wait to go listen at home :)
I am so mad that I'm at work
I am so mad that I'm at work and my speakers dont work so I cant hear this right now. Also, great minds think alike since I sent them an email a few hours ago inquiring that I was very interested in some free pork and beans. No word back yet though..I really want those damn beans. And a house I guess.
This is interesting. I wonder
This is interesting. I wonder if they return calls faster than emails. I made sure to ask about the house before I inquired about the "special I saw online."
Maybe they screen out people who seem a little more interested in the pork and beans than the houses. Who knows. If you never get an email back you should try sending an angrier email. That might get their attention.
