Malthus, I can appreciate how this is "how things work", especially as ugly stuff like politics is involved. What I object to are CC's apparent assertions that this vile example of politics destroying a guy's life is somehow desirable, ethical and preferred result.

Getting canned hardly destroys one's life.


It does for many people.

A person making 100k?

Probably especially for someone making 100k.  He probably has a significant mortgage based on that income level.  He will probably have a very difficult time finding another job at that same income level.

I think everybody should try gay sex.

Two many questions with only two options.

Guessed right on "2'6 and mickey."  What's that?  Or they?

And I want to argue the one it says I got wrong.  A keener encompasses both being a brown noser and a butt kisser.   :mad:

You should probably take a pregnancy test, just to be sure. How long has it been since your last period?

Didn't know Bunnyhub or Hack a dart.   The rest everyone should know. :)

Bunnyhug is a Saskatchewan thing.  I don't know about the "hack" part, but I have definitely heard a cigarette being called a dart before. (e.g. I'm going outside for a quick dart)

a 26er is the ounces in bottle of alcohol.  It could be any kind.  A mickey is a smaller container.  You buy a mickey to smuggle into concerts.  You buy a 26er to take to a party.

Ah ok, I have heard people say they are going to hack a cig, so I guess hack a dart is the next evolution of the language. :D
