When someone tells me that they are "Research Assistant" at a university, what does that mean? Is it part of a graduate study program, full-time position, volunteer?

I think it means they're a grad student who has a job doing pointless bullshit completely without value to society, and practically all of it assisting a professor in their published research.  That what an RA is at law school.  (Strikethru part may not apply to real schools.)

You cocksuckers are boring today.  What, did you go see your families or something?  Did you enjoy LIFE?  You disgust me.

Your bitterness nourishes me.

I'm glad to have a purpose.

We're all solemnly memorializing the great Cesar Chavez. Thanks for the reminder, Google!

I went to see family, but it was boring if that makes you feel any better

Standing in front of a hospital with a billboard indicating its a center for sexual assault/domestic violence. The website had the acronym sadv, and I thought sad vagina. I gave a morose chuckle. I'm a bad person.

Sad Vagina is my name for a chain of STD clinics.

And you being bored did make me feel better.  Thanks.

And to conclude Easter for me, the traditional bowl of Banana Pudding.

Everyone who got my kids markers for Easter is getting a flaming bag of dog poop on their front door this week.  Espec. the ones who got them the markers that don't look like markers & made it through the first confiscation phase.

Dear Canadians, and Especially Albertans:

I know some of you bitch about those dirty hippies in Ontario and B.C. bitching about your oil, but you know what? Your tar sand oil smells like concentrated ass. :yuck:

I know this because Exxon had an "incident" involving their pipeline and a residential area about ten minutes away from my house.

Fun with google ads: buy an STD test and see what shows up in front of your Youtube videos and next to your Paul Krugman articles for a week.  Got company over?  Google don't care!  Google says disclose.

For those few not in the know, I had a scare, but I'm clean as a whistle.  Not even HSV-1, after a retest cleared up an equivocal response to what is really only an STD in the same sense the common cold or chicken pox are--and which odds are a bit over 57% of you have btw.  Get tested, plague-carriers.

Edit: oh!  a poll!
