Multi-tasking.

Perhaps your should post one of these at work

I love Sinfest. It's my new favourite web comic!

I like Seymour. I know a few people that act like he does.

Yeah, Sinfest is awesome.

Today I replaced the annoying digital recorder with a microtape recorder and the quality is a lot better actually. Today at work when nobody's watching I'll test out some of my phone recording devices with it. I'm slightly annoyed that I payed an extra ten bucks for this 'VOX' or voice activated recording feature that doesn't seem to work but maybe it will with an external mic.

Since we have yet to have a rant forum, I'm tossing this in here. (TL;DR version at the bottem)

After listening to the State of the Union address, whatever small shred of respect I may have still had for Mr. Bush went right out the door. How dare you say you want our border agents to be able to focus on hunting down illegal alien drug smugglers when you did squat to prevent two border agents that got sentenced to 10+ years in jail for doing that very thing? You fucking smug hypocrite. You knew damn well that the wife of one of the now imprisoned agents was in the audience when you said that. Fuck you and your administration. If you think for one minute that I honestly believe you are for alternative energy then you're more delusional that I previously thought. How dare you call yourself a conservative? You want to know what a real conservative is? Here, since you've forgotten:

1. We supposed to be FOR smaller government, not this huge bloated sack of crap you've created.
2. We're supposed to be FOR less wasteful spending and keeping something close to a balanced budget.
3. We're CONSERVATIVES. We're supposed to be CONSERVING our natural resources and our environment. You know, keep it clean and, since you seem to just LOVE reminding people that you're some type of Christian, how about you take steps in honoring it as God's creation take action to prevent your indrusty buddies from raping it?
4. We're supposed to be FOR legal equality for all Americans. (Or 'mericans as you like to say)
5. We're supposed to be FOR honoring the very ideals that this nation was founded upon. You know, inconvenient things like free speech, (free speech zones don't cut it) even if it's speech you disagree with, freedom of religion (even the ones brown people practice), the press...the whole nine yards.

You're not a Republican. You're not a conservative. You're a jerk. A greedy, self-centered jerk who I think honestly doesn't give a rats ass about this country. You'll sell us out to whoever can benefit you and your conies personally the most!

You know what, while I'm ranting...Hey, you're such a good Christian, right? What the hell happened to being humble? God doesn't need to be on our currency, in our pledge of allegiance, in our schools or courthouses. You know where He's supposed to be? In your heart. That's it. Not on the back of your car in fish format or those obnoxious bumper stickers and NOT IN OUR LEGISLATION! WE ARE NOT A THEOCRACY! You know what is a theocracy? A lot of the Middle East and look how great that's worked out for them.

Great, now I'm all pissed off again and won't enjoy the rest of the day. We really do need a 'flamers' corner.

TL;DR version: Bush is an idiot and I'm sick of religious hypocrites.

I haven't watched the state of the union address since sometime in the 90s. Scripted applause, no real content, words never followed by action, and just plain lies. Do yourself a favour and turn off the TV when they try to pull this shit. IF their ratings were 0 on all the stations which preempted programming, maybe they'd get the point.

I miss Nixon.

I hated Nixon when I was a kid. Sesame street was pre-empted several times for stuff like his Checkers speech.

*gives xolik virtual hug*

I missed yet another "someone let the special ed kid talk in public AND on tv" edition of the state of our union (my sincerest apologies to any/all special ed kids--bush is making you look bad, I know)...but I did catch the Daily Show the next day and was briefly amused.

If only they would get the point. What's the purpose of the address at this point in time? To say that it is to accurately assess and describe the current state of our United States is naive and no longer true...so..anyone?

Conversation at the coffee machine this morning:

As Mike and John try to dispense both regular and decaffeinated coffee at the same time (it's a machine with 3 nozzles)
John: Odd... the decaf isn't working
Me: You can only dispense one at a time
John: Oh, you've tried that before?
Mike: No, it was in the memo. Didn't you get the memo?
John: No. There was a memo?
Me: It was part of the TPS report memo. We're putting covers on our TPS reports now. Did you see that memo? I can send you a copy.
Sarah (from behind me): You can never have too many copies of the TPS memo.

Mike and John walked away looking at Sarah and me as if we had 3 heads each.

I started pouring my coffee and it was coming out in a dribble.

Sarah: Oh, great, now it's out of coffee?
Me: PC Load letter... What the fuck?
Sarah: This is a suck.

Hahhahahahhahah gold! +1

That would have been +1 but the yellow text cancelled it out.

Sorry Biz, better luck next time

xolik · « **Reply #1545 on:** January 26, 2007, 02:17:58 PM »

We were talking over each other, and I was trying to proove something to him so I said 'no, no, dear, it's like this...' and I don't think he heard me. I hope it wasn't some subconscience thing. I guess he's kinda cute in that 'cryptkeeper' sort of way, and he's built like a bull, but the thought me and him together is just gross.

Ford's losses for 2006 was the equivalent of giving away one Mustang GT ($24K) per minute for the entire year.

525,948 Mustangs.

Did you get yours?

I just wasted a hour and a half tying to read from page one to the end of this post, but I gaave up. Also I just restarted by bittorent download by mistake I had 200 of 400 Megabytes downloaded, and on my dial-up I get about 1.3Kbps download speed.

Why the hell would you want to do that???

On a related note, I just spent 3 hours on a payphone in a movie theatre.
