"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

I can't say I watch Dirty Jobs frequently, but I do get pleasure out of watching a show with people like my Dad on it. Especially after eight hours of L&O reruns.

Every day over lunch I manage to find a tv to watch Dirty Jobs... though yesterday I did more listening than watching while I ate and he replaced a pump in a sewage treatment plant.

And yes Fridays off are awesome!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

In not-finance news, what's wrong with this sentence?

“It’s very sad,” Kilgore said. “He is clearly not happy. We, as humans, have bread animals for our own pleasure for thousands of years. In this case, we have bread animals to fight.”

What are they doing to these poor animals that they're turning into bread??

Hee--that pump replacement job was the only one after which Mike and the crew didn't go out to eat/drink afterwards. According to him, they just went back to their hotel rooms and took about five million showers to get the smell out.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What are they doing to these poor animals that they're turning into bread??

Maybe its a Soylent Green thing.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Every day over lunch I manage to find a tv to watch Dirty Jobs...

Mr. Jane said that yesterday they had an alligator farm in Cutoff, LA which I drove through back in the Search for Gas in South Louisiana adventure of Aught Four.

Are the bread animals rising up against us? They're definitely not pets; they just loaf around.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What are they doing to these poor animals that they're turning into bread??

Maybe they're just coating them with breadcrumbs?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

They're definitely not pets; they just loaf around.

With pets, it's always "knead knead knead," why don't they "give give give"?
