Yes.

You must have seen those Lexus commercials for the kajillionth time.

Seems like such a crappy gift in so many ways, unless it's your 16th birthday.

Someone wants to buy me a Lexus, I'm cool with it.

I mean, I'm selling it the next day, but it's the thought that counts.

I saw the thread on that game at Quarter to Three. Weird fucking shit.

what is it called?
Looks like it warrants a read about.

More adventures in online employment application questionnaires:

I am somewhat concerned about the direction the national economy is taking.

Unsure if this is a question designed to identify potential communists with affirmative answers, or demonstrated retards with negative answers.  Maybe both!

Joe is preparing 18 hot dogs for his party. However, Joe only has 12 hot dog buns. How many more hot dog buns does Joe need?

Hey, look, Raz, I'm using my math skills.

Hector says he does not _______ when the movie starts.

And my language skills, to boot!  Ugh.

Cathy is planning a reception for her daughter's wedding. All of the family is invited, but not all of the family members get along particularly well. Cathy must be careful not to seat certain family members together who might not care for each other. She knows that Aunt Amanda and Aunt Sally always feud about who makes the best apple pies. Cousin Larry and Uncle Robby always get into arguments about which football team is the best. Robby grew up with Sally and they have been close since they were kids, but Aunt Amanda and Uncle Robby are married with 4 kids. Larry is not married and has no kids.

I saw you there, online application questionnaire writer.  I saw your humanity slip through the smallest of cracks, a glimmer of personality that shone for the briefest of moments.  I liked Perfect Strangers too.

You're probably dead now, by the slow poison you must have needed to get through your day, or by the "accident" that unaccountably didn't leave an inch of skid mark before the wall.  You made bad decisions in your life, but you carried that weight as far as you could.  Rest in peace.

I'll see you on the other side, my friend.  You, me, and Balki Bartokomous.  Good times.

[Eddie Teach]

So where's the question in that last one?

[Ideologue]

Oh, it was a "reading skills" question, asking various questions about the paragraph.

I don't understand why shitty jobs have applications about ten times longer than good ones.

[Ed Anger]

You'd be surprised how many young people will miss that that hot dog question.

[Eddie Teach]

Joe could always double up some of the dogs.

You know...I might just do that tomorrow. I recall playing a dating sim once which was rather weirdly fun. And it lacked pidgeons.
Most odd considering the old joke about Japanese gamers is they were obsessed with horse dating sims.

As I get older I'm becoming more and more of a technophobe.

The proper word is "Luddite."  Go smash your computer and retire to a monastery, please.

It's getting old. Learning new things becomes bothersome.
