The Best Family Attraction mural in the men's bathroom was funnier than it should have been. lol
I feel bad for that person with the crazy license plate. I still laughed though.
I can't imagine being allowed to sit in a retail job. I worked in a bakery and was on my feet the entire 9 hour shift. Same when I worked at a deli. The only time I was allowed to sit at my job was when I worked in a laundry mat.
I have long - long being ten or twelve years - been at loggerheads with the proprietor of one of my favored haunts ore the to my observation inevitable demise of the Retard Party (look it up). The silence the hair-dresser lady from Texas notes is they know it as well as I do.
At one of my favored trolling holes I up until the recent election and sudden silence of commenters with weird names and limited understanding of common American English repeatedly admonished them to let me know when they figure out how to drink oil, but damn, these fools eat salted apricot seeds. Perhaps that's something we should encourage the reich-wingers to do: "don't eat those cherry pits, they're not good for you!"
That is an apt description of what we who have sworn oaths not to tell have sworn an oath not to tell. Though I quibble a bit with the word "ag·nos·tic".
Not useless, futile. We are fleas, if not lice, agitating the hide of a far greater organism.
Hi Infidel,
It's a dreary day here in Floriduhhh after the latest election clusterfuck. Thank you for the distraction of lots of juicy links, especially the Vietnamese rock music. Is it just me, or did anyone else wish the musician had dressed up as either Wilma Flintstone or Betty Rubble? Those people disguised as a bus might have gotten away with it had they only remembered to keep repeating "VROOM VROOM" over and over. By the way, they inspired my next disguise for when I want to vote repeatedly. Is it just me, or did anyone else get a little annoyed at the guy filming the guy stuck in the snow? Maybe he could have gone down and helped the guy out instead of just filming and laughing at his frustration? My nephew refuses to have my baby grandniece vaccinated. I am so pissed off at him and his idiot wife, I cannot tell you. Was that mercury meeting aluminum, or was it the birth of Cousin Itt from the Addams Family? I think cherries should be served at every Twitler rally. Who would shoot a dolphin? Has Donnie, Jr been in California lately? He might have wanted to get one last thrill in before being indicted. Oh my, not only does Obama share his umbrella, he knows how to close one, too! The dog is staring at me. I had better take him outside. I'll be back to click on the other links soon.
Mary: I think whoever put up that ad in the restroom knew exactly what he was doing.
It never occurred to me before, but it's weird that retail cashiers don't have seats. US employers seem to relish imposing petty humiliations like that.
Thomas: I hope they realize their minority-rule regime is doomed. In any case, resistance certainly hasn't looked futile since election day.
Conservatives seem to love everything toxic and anti-life. I bet we could turn them on to arsenic-laden seeds. Just tell them "libtards" are afraid to eat them.
Nonnie: Florida's results were frustrating to us all, given that Gillum and Nelson came so close. Don't forget that next year over a million ex-felons will be able to vote.
I don't know whether they know about the Flintstones in Vietnam. Cool idea, though.
Given that that bus disguise was in Russia, it might have worked better if they'd been able to belch smoke and pretend to break down several times.
I wouldn't have gone anywhere near that guy stuck in the snow. He was obviously mad as hell, swearing at passing cars and so forth, and just looking for a target. The way he was spinning those wheels, if the car had suddenly come loose he could have gone out of control and killed somebody.
I bet you're right about the dolphin. Just the kind of thing Don Donnie Jr would do.
When Bank of America took over some of the smaller banks down here in employer-loving, employee-hating Floriduhhh, one of the first things they did was to inform the tellers that they would no longer be allowed to sit on stools. They were required to stand all day. The reason for it was that there were quite a few tellers who had been at the smaller banks for a long time, and they were getting up in years. B of A wanted them to leave but didn't want to pay unemployment, so they just made it was uncomfortable as possible for them. They were able to hire younger people who would work for far less.
As to the Joshua quote... Well... I have met 'em. I also have an MSc in Astrophysics from Queen Mary College, University of London (I was one of two people PPARC gave full-funding that year!). Now I don't want to get snarky and that but... I have yanked a Tal-Mizar through the pitch-black and ran C++ prorgams for thousands of hours and I do know what a Lyaponov Exponent is. I also know the Californian town that was burnt to cinders was called, "Paradise".
"Christianity's forgiveness fetish is depraved. "
Yes. THIS!
Nonnie: Disgusting. Well, that's one more bank I won't be doing any business with.
Nick: Impressive, though I'm not sure whether some of that stuff is math or Lovecraft.
Donna: The fetish of forgiving abusers spits on their victims. It's one of the things about Christianity which has always revolted me.
It took me some time to finally get here and catch up on these links, but I finally did it. Thanks for all the interesting and fun stuff you've shared!
Thanks for your interest!
