Anyone else experience some problems here today?  My internets couldn't find.  I didn't like.



In other news.  I have to take a college class to get recertified for teaching.  I found an online course and submitted it and it was approved.  Would you believe that I get to take....ALGEBRA II?  I'm so effing psyched!  I didn't think they'd really approve it!  Algebra II!!
Isn't that like... cheating or something?

Yes.

Well, if it comes up, just tell'em that this is Algebra II ver. 2.0 and from now on you will need to retake it each re-cert time because a new version comes out and you need to be up with all the bug patches.

*sigh* Another sushi joint to add to the vast list of sushi places from which I've been banned.

I guess the server didn't like it when I asked if he "wanted to go out back and play 'hide and go anal'."  :cry:

COFFEE FILTERS -- 1957 vs 2007

Scenario 1: Mark and Johnny, a same-sex mixed race couple in rural Oklahoma, put a coffee filter in their Melitta, and attempt to brew some coffee.

1957 -- The filter breaks, prompting Mark to swear loudly. A passing woman hears him through the window, and complains to friendly law officer Smith about the breach of community decency standards. Officer Smith has a conversation with Mark and Johnny and ascertains that they are living together. Pending arrest warrants for breach of sodomy laws, officer Smith spreads word around town that Mark is shacking up with a person of color. A lynch mob is formed by the school's vice principal, who has a shotgun. Actually, every person in town over age 2 has a shotgun. Johnny is dragged out on the street and hung from a tree. Mark commits suicide in the town jail.

2007 -- Mark and Johnny each enjoy a cup of almond-mocha decaf while listening to show tunes.

I have this room spray that I bought awhile back.
There's a misuse of the word there on some text on the bottle and it was bugging me a little bit after I got it. Oh well, I still like the product all the same.
Here's the text

"Stale rooms and cars become nicer to be in when there filled with a fresh, light scent. Or spritz on sheets and blankets. Renews potpourri, too"

at least it smells good, like wildflowers  :-)

You know that 1-800 number they put on those bottles for questions and comments. Call it and tell them their editing department needs to be re-thought.

No, it's take a bag of M&Ms squish two together the one that cracks put in the discard pile.  The one that doesn't put in the keep pile.  After you get to the end of the bag, repeat process with all the keepers.  Repeat again and again until you have the winner.  Send that back to them telling them that this is the one that was naturally selected and they may now use it for breeding.

 So what is it with you Canadiatics and your goats??

I'm not following you. Where'd the 'new obsession with goats' in the US come from?
 Your goats are committing SUICIDE, ferfucksakes.

**edit- also there have been recently an INORDINATE number of suspicious animal deaths at that zoo. Come on; FORTY ONE stingrays just up and died?? An elephant died from HERPES?? A goat 'accidentally' HANGS himself?
 No; none of that "works for me".

Be it known that "Sam and Max Season One" is probably one of the funniest game series I've played in a long, long time. If you liked Grim Fandango, you'll like this.

I always wondered what happened to Fat Bastard...

"Contact was made with our eyes both together and I felt a strange stirring in my loins," he told the station.

The argument over marijuana and it's positive and negative effects will likely go on until the end of the world, but it's always nice to see an inspiration for those of us who do use.

The URL says it all.
