That doesn't make a sex pun that only I will get.

What do you guys think of these?  I've tried to make them kind of tricky, but not require more knowledge than you would expect from someone who went to school for twenty fucking years.

Forget how long he's been in school, does he seem like a legitimately intelligent and well read guy?

70 or so people.

And I've been doing redaction and now QC on their work, so no, no they do not.

A whole lot of crap has been going down at work. My old team got merged into another team that was then split off into its own department. There was some kind of power grab by one of the other directors and he took half of my department. We created two new teams, and someone from my old team was bad mouthing the new team I was helping put together, saying their work was crappy, boring, they were getting the scraps no one else wanted to do - I found out who it was and reported it to my boss. They are meeting with him tomorrow and will probably terminate him. Should I feel bad?

[Lettow77]

Does he let you give him foot massages?

No. I guess I would, if he asked. Of course I would!

we are playing shogun 2 now, though.

Yes.  Complaining about work is a fundamental freedom, as put forward in Norman Rockwell's famous paintings.



This guy?  He's about to say he's tired of people taking their shits at work, stinking up the joint and making it awkward when a guy who likes to piss in a toilet like a human being has to stand next to some guy without the discipline to do his sinful business at home.

do you guys realize how AWESOME this is? I hope they can produce it soon, and on a managable price.

I don't.  What do they do?

I have a real fondness for mint tea.  Has a nice sharp bite to it, but no caffeine.

I like Moroccan mint tea.  Loaded with sugar and gunpowder tea

I'm on an Earl Grey binge at the minute.

I love it when newspapers (or, tabloids is really all they are) writes articles based on a source that openly claims he has no real evidence (besides that grudge he's been holding for over 25 years now).

What has become of journalism?

Maybe from your Hungarian perspective. It has colored your vision.

JFK may have banged the best of them two at a time, but he never played up to the Trekkie crowd, and that was his failure.

Would you like a moment to reconsider your position that it's cooler to be a Trekkie than to bang Marylin Monroe?

Have you ever known me to knowingly and publicly reconsider any position, even when it's totally and completely wrong?  Such as this one?
