When my dad joined Allstate in the mid-1980s, they interviewed my mother too. Subsequently, there was a HUGE lawsuit about that kind of stuff. Mom thinks now that they wanted to see if she was white.

I think if an employeer asked to interview my spouse I would nod and arrange something with them and then have my lawyer show up at the appointed time.

Seriously, there is not enough WTF in the world.

I have had an interviewer ask about my husband and I have just sat looking at them, the quickly moved on and I was never offered those jobs. Stupid people are stupid.

sumi's mini mule team video was cute, but for the love of FSM, do not click on that wild horses video. Just don't.

I don't think I own a structured bra. I've found well-fitting, comfortable and supportive sports bras, and while they don't present the girls in a wonderful way, we're all very happy with the bras' performance.

That coach-hiring plan, when explained as how the prospective hire chose his wife...nah, still sounds stupid.

cross-stupid post with msbelle! Hello, nicest!

When I shop for bras, I tell the sales assistants not to bring me anything costing more than a hundred dollars. They don't always remember. However, the bras that I have gotten with that shopping method at that store are all incredibly comfortable and do the girls a lot of justice. So, I continue.

Even my sports bras cost near $50. They have underwire and separate cups, and I'm not as comfortable chilling around in them as a normal bra, but I can't lie--that shit looks good. I consider it the reason people at krav asked me if my breasts were real or not--a compliment, they swear!

I need new bras, but I didn't want to give them my email, so now I'll never know if I'm choosing the right size. Oh well.

Random link o' the day:

Cats with flowers on their heads, in baskets, resting in a tree (video) - Boing Boing

They don't seem to mind.

Perhaps I posted too soon, and this should be the random link o' the day:

Scarf-wearing pig chased by cops on Pittsburgh highway - Boing Boing

Today, the best news story of the entire day was surely this unlikely report of a "sharp-dressed pig running loose on a highway" outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Police chased the little porker, believed to be a juvenile, but "failed to catch it before it scurried off into the woods."

Police say the pig appeared to be a baby and confirmed it was wearing a scarf. Police dont know why that is or who may own the animal.

Apparently this is also featured in Moneyball?

Well, kind of, I guess? (Note: I did not read the article linked because I don't have the mental energy to deal with that bullshit. But I just finished reading Moneyball.) Basically, Billy Beane with the A's was one of the only few managers who looked beyond what a baseball player "should look like" and was roundly mocked for recruiting players that pitched totally bizzarely, or were too tall, or too fat, or basically, not appropriate for being a jeans model.

Nothing about wives and shit, though.

PIG! BWAH, tommyrot!

Now I am compelled to watch Yankovich's "White & Nerdy" vid for the 1000th time...
