Ow. I snerked so hard I actually cramped something inside. That man is an epic something-or-other.

I also love, with little sparkly hearts, his #sad Tweet to someone else about how unjustly overlooked Southern hospitality is, and the snarky responses it got.

I really can't stop wondering what a person like that is like in meatspace. Can you smell their stink for real? 'Cause he is severely noxious.

Statistically speaking, there's probably at least one bigot like that where I work (this is my optimistic font). But how can you tell?

Given that I know we have an ex-porn-marketer cannibal on staff, I wonder why I don't know the important stuff.

Got my eclipse pictures and video up at [link] We ended up just hanging out at a rest area up the 5 just inside the zone where we could see the annularity. Tried using pinhole projection and using binoculars to project (which sort of worked but magnified the light so the image was distorted (instead of a little rim of light around the shadow of the moon, it looked like a CD or a doughnut). The best viewing was looking at the shadow of a tree, where gaps between the leaves acted as projectors. That's what's in all my pictures.

I might need to get some kind of solar filter something for the transit of venus.

I'm willing to bet he thinks of himself as a decent guy, who would never call anyone a cunt to her face.

Oh, no doubt he's that sort of a punk. I just wonder at what point the seams start to strain and the bullshit leaks through...

Speaking of co-workers...

We have a couple awards that are given out to employees--you can get nominated by our field, or by other employees of the company. There's this one guy who a) works support and b) finishes up every call by saying "If you found me helpful, please go to this link and nominate me for an award." The fact that he only gets two or three awards a month I think is not actually reflecting that well on him, because no one else actually explicitly requests them, and he's never the only person on the list.

I do have to wonder if he gets bonuses or raises based on that feedback. He totally gets harshed on by anyone in earshot for whoring out for points.

One day I'll get one of those awards...but it will be because I really deserve it ::wipes shy tear::

Well, either a cannibal or someone who didn't bother to google the term "long pig" until it was too late. It's hard to say. But if Mr George Tierney is any proof, there are a lot of people out there who underestimate the power of Google.

I just wonder at what point the seams start to strain and the bullshit leaks through...

Ten bucks says he frequents MRA chats and is oblivious to the fact that his words can't put a dent in her, and while she goes on to have an awesome historical legacy, he will be the quote used in articles to show how douchey people were back then. He's the guy with the firehose and the dogs, and any progeny he manages to eek out will feel deeply ashamed and change their names to avoid association with him.

So there's that.

Of course, I just had to vanity google myself, and am grateful that I get my amazon page and some good book reviews and blog posts. I hope I don't screw up my google.

...how did you even get into the conversation where someone admits that?
