Coulter or Hitler

11 right. The 3 I got wrong I picked Hitler and they were Coulter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One of the instructors in my group got bumrushed the other day by an angry motorist.

Encounter did not end in the favour of the motorist.

Anna Kournikova couldn't have pulled that off, I'm just saying.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I got all but one of those Hitler-Coulter questions right. If you focus on the language and not the content it's pretty easy.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

They need to translate Coulter from the original German....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Only 10 posts since this morning? Slow day. Had a very nice day with Juliana, JZ, Deb, Betsy, and -t. Lots of shopping was done (I spent all my jury duty money on kick ass Fluevogs), and soon we are going to Monkey Noodle and then there may be some drinking or something.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just watched the Shield finale, and HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Shane, you dipshit moron. You can't get away with this, you just can't.

I can't believe this show's not coming back until January.

"Snakes on a Plane" model on eBay: [link]

This is a high quality 3D model replica of the actual plane used in the feature film "Snakes On A Plane". This model is constructed/forged out of genuine American Play-Doh®, which contains wheat (a warning for those of us who experience allergic reactions when exposed to wheat, I wore gloves when playing with this doh). This model is vibrant, and full of life, but does not fly. It's amazing the resemblance to the real thing.... snakes being on a plane and all. Bonus features: Used 10 oz. bottle of Pink Play-Doh®. Sure to increase in value over time.

On Mar-21-06 at 12:24:06 PST, seller added the following information:

Correction!!!! The Play-Doh® is not Genuine American made. It's Made in China, but I assure you that it is the finest the Chinese can provide.

Unskilled and unaware of it

The tendency of the average person to believe he or she is better-than-average is known as the "above-average effect," and it flies in the face of logic… by definition, it is impossible for a majority of people to be above average. Clearly a large number of the self-described "above average" individuals are actually below average.

...

The British philosopher Bertrand Russell once wrote that "the trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." This is true whether one interprets "stupid" as foolish (short on smarts) or as ignorant (short on information). Deliberately or otherwise, his sentiment echoes that of Charles Darwin, who over one hundred years ago pointed out that "ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hi, Buffistas! I am back from Mexico City, and plan to catch up on the zillions of posts I just skipped tomorrow, when I'm supposed to be working on my thesis. My immediate plan is to catch up on the 10 or 12 hours of sleep I missed out on over the week. How are y'all??
