Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I read somewhere that there's been some kind of thing that hacks into facebook accounts and posts porn.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think it's a hack, sumi. And a fucking annoying one at that.

The status is NOT quo.

I think the law only mandates time off to serve; not for mandatory salary reimbursement for time lost due to jury service.

This is certainly true. Teachers can't serve on juries during the school year unless the trial began prior to school starting. We don't get paid for jury service.

Wow, really? That wasn’t the case in the public school system in CT (or in my independent school here.) That blows if you actually get called since my experience has been that the judge could care less that I teach.

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 need to be forcibly removed from the internet, today. I had to respond to:

Apart from singers, those with romantic involvement with boy(s) in the band and members of all-girl groups, can you think of even one reasonably well known female rock musician? (I can think of only one, but even that is something of a special case.)

OMG I DONT EVEN WTF

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

What alternate universe is that person from and what can we do to send that person back?

WTF^∞

Is that a way to discount rockers who play instruments, write songs, AND sing? Because I can think of a bunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, that would definitely prove that women are shitty musicians.

....oh wait. No it wouldn't.

Because books.

Right? I mean, this person doesn't count Patti Smith or Chrissie Hynde, or Janis Joplin or Debbie Harry, just for starters?

Mick Jagger only sings, and I don't see anyone not calling him a rock musician.

And Ani DiFranco and Liz Phair.

Loki and Pumpkin are roaring around upstairs. They're noisy!

Yeah, I'm focussing on that and the Gabby Giffords piece on ABC. Not the stupid people.
