Bureaucracy 3: Like Job. No, really, just like Job.
I like this, because it's consistent with the earlier titles, but breaks, the "Like X, Only Y" format, which helps set up different structures for the next title.

(I have Douglas Adams (who even wrote a text adventure called "Bureaucracy") in mind, but it works with John Adams, too.)
I loved this game. Never could get to the airport, except to drive by in the taxi.
(Totally off topic, was I the only one laughing my ass off when John Kerry got in such trouble for his "foreign leaders support me in email" espisode?)
That was my thought exactly. I couldn't explain to anybody why I found it so funny. I knew that people here would appreciate the irony.

Oh, that's hilarious.
I rather like the Yoko Factor one, but I do want to stick with the B'cy 3: Like X, Only Y pattern. I think they're amusing.
Ditto with the John Kerry.
It's possible I'm too sensitive, but I don't want us thinking this stuff is like Job.
But wasn't the end result of Job stuff good. Like his faith and all that (bad Christian).
Driveby posting - Thanks Cindy, Sean and everyone for looking out for us Passover folkses. As usual, I voted monkey.
For B'cy 3 I favor: lurkers, cabal, and dead horses.

The story just pisses me off: God and the Devil making bets about how much bad shit they can do to this poor guy. Sure, he gets his wife and kids back because he keeps faith and whatever, but STILL.

No no, he gets a completely new set of wife and kids. The first set stays dead. (Sucks to be them.)
The first set stays dead. (Sucks to be them.)
True that. New testament bogarted the zombification.
Job's wife didn't die; just the kids. And almost all his employees, which for some reason I find worse than the kids.
No no, he gets a completely new set of wife and kids. The first set stays dead. (Sucks to be them.)
OH YEAH! Even worse! (Even if it is just the kids and employees, not the wife.) Grrrr.
