PEOPLE who smile a lot and say "have a nice day" are headed to an early grave while the grumpy stay fit.
I am FINALLY vindicated!!!!
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A recent University of Minnesota survey has found that atheists, which only number slightly more than 3% of the population, are more distrusted than any other ethnic or religious group.
From a telephone sampling of more than 2,000 households, university researchers found that Americans rate atheists below Muslims, recent immigrants, gays and lesbians and other minority groups in “sharing their vision of American society.” Atheists are also the minority group most Americans are least willing to allow their children to marry.
Even though atheists are few in number, not formally organized and relatively hard to publicly identify, they are seen as a threat to the American way of life by a large portion of the American public. “Atheists, who account for about 3 percent of the U.S. population, offer a glaring exception to the rule of increasing social tolerance over the last 30 years,” says Penny Edgell, associate sociology professor and the study’s lead researcher.
Bah. More reason for me to be surly...

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm gonna live FOREVER!
And I'm gonna live even longer.
Vengeance moment. At work one summer morning in mid-July. Division is getting ready for staff meeting to start. Conversation turns to antics of children. I decide to tell about my great-nephew's adventures with a super-soaker.
Me: I was at a Fourth of July picnic, and this three-year-old --
Division Director: Fred, I don't want to hear about your dates.
In front of the Entire. Fucking. Division.
One of the biggest regrets of my life is leaving the division quietly (for that and other reasons), and not filing a complaint against that director.

People suck.
Or at least that seems to be the theme of the last couple of hours of Natter....

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I seek no vengance at this time, but I reserve the right to call on vengance at a later date if needed.
Two of the faculty where I went to grad school had an ongoing feud. At one point a severed hog's head was placed on the hood of one party's car and then hosed down in sub-freezing weather.
The lengths some people will go to just to annoy another person amaze me.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I'm a surly atheist, thus I will live a long, untrustworthy life. I win! Even if it turned out I cheated to do so.
But I have no vengeance needs to report. The people what done me wrong are usually just too dumb to see that my way is the right way.

FTR, if I were to seek vengeance, it would be against boogers. Seriously. Queaseysneezeyunbreatheyslimey OOK. HATE IT. I HATE SNOT. DEATH TO EXCESS SNOT.

Yeah, but snot is just your own white blood cells that have given their lives to protect you.
Instead of hating snot, you should play taps.

Fuck that. It's making me iller.
