I just did a count of how many yards of yarn I have entered on Ravelry so far -- less than a third done, I'd say. The calculator says that it's approximately 6000 yards, which just. can't. be. right....
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Almost the end of the day? I still have 3 more hours. Though because of the working lunch that should be 1 and a half, not that I'm bitter or anything.
(See Friday we had a working lunch too, so they let us off at 4, only I was supposed to get off at 4 anyway since I had to work Friday so I basically just got robbed out of a lunch).

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I am having a hugely difficult time buckling down and focusing. It's totally killing me at work today, and I'm already paranoid about losing my job to the awesome new assistant.
Also, whenever Salon writes anything about the internet, I always want to slam my head into the keyboard.

From Allyson's link:
It is a truism that a negative written comment has a harsher impact than a spoken one.
I call bullshit. I could probably construct a nice insult on paper, but I promise it'll hurt worse when I say it in a completely dismissive tone.

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 call bullshit
But... but... it's a truism!

I have a low opinion of Salon and I felt embarassed for them while I was reading that. I can only assume that their new target audience is Andy Rooney.

Let's take over Salon.
They really are crappy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I've anonymously called people assholes on the internet. AIFG.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
