We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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

From PZ: Can't we all get along?

The Phelps gang is picketing in Chicago with their "god hates fags" sign. Hate meets hate: there was a counter-demonstration.

The counter-demonstration had a woman with a sign saying "Cthulhu Hates Chordates." Heh.

Oh Cash, that's so crazy talk! I"m so sorry. Eep. Parents should not be doing things like that! :(

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

Gah, Cash! That's madness. I'm sorry.

I just had to put my foot down to a recruiter who wanted me to lie on my resume. And a stupid lie too. He wanted me to say I'd done things at my last job that I'd actually done in the ones before. WTF? I told him to not submit me if he didn't want to, but I wouldn't lie.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Sheesh, Cash, how did you ever come out of that family?

I took the best genes and left the shitty ones behind.

Is there an organization similar to Al-Anon for the partners of problem gamblers?

I wish Dad would get some counseling on his own--if just to cope with the issues. He handles it by drinking. *shrug* I offer him my advice but he's not going to change anything after 48 years of marriage, sadly.

job~ma, juliana. I hope you find something much better suited to your needs and with a nicer boss.

The counter-demonstration had a woman with a sign saying "Cthulhu Hates Chordates." Heh.

That's utter perfection.

I have ran my butt off this afternoon--mailing a package, buying comics and taking Olivia to get her hair cut. We also got some chocolately comfort sot there's that!

Is there a position that requires "Must have done X at last position"?

Vise-Grip Tales

Last year, vise-grip manufacturer Irwin held a contest called "Tell Us Your Vise-Grip Story" where people share their personal experience of using the tool. They’ve chosen 3 finalists, one of which is this one by Bryan from Chesapeake, VA:

As a US Navy spine surgeon, I routinely deal with dozens of different types of screws, rods and bolts that have been implanted into the spine. Each manufacturer has their own unique tools to insert and remove their specific hardware. While deployed to the Middle East in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I did not have access to these specialized tools. I did however have some Vise-Grips that could be sterilized and used to emergently remove the screws and rods from this infected solider’s spine.

Damn. Cool yet disturbing.
