Eeck, I'm hungry.

Eeck, I'm hungry.

Okay, DGul. We don't really want to know how the dick tastes though.

A Christian church in Dixon, IL, as seen on Google Maps.

Meh, who's going to see that church from that angle?

Had a "lunch and learn" session with the local medical examiner today.

I'm normally pretty immune to death and gore on the job, but when he was talking about infants, and showing pictures of little babies with the skin peeled back on their heads to display the bruising and cracked skulls, was pretty hard for this new dad to take. 

A lunch and learn session with dead baby photos? Whose brilliant idea was that?

[Eddie Teach]

Maybe they needed to learn if BB had the stomach for a big case.

Kind of depressing it was not that long ago when the current numbers for CIS Managers was the rate for the entire country.

God.  And boy, is that congregation going to be in for a shock when they die.

You know what grinds my gears? The incredibly crappy lyrics of house "music" and similar. Completely void of meaning and written for an audience who has English as their second or third language.

What is "house music"?

An abomination. You may or may not have heard of Swedish House Mafia or Avicii.

[Ideologue]

Avicii is good stuff.

English use of prepositions is creeping its way into the Danish language, and it's horrible. More and more have started using against instead of with and of instead of on, etc.

[garbon]

Not sure I follow that.

[Liep]

Not sure I follow that.

We use different prepositions in certain sentence structures. In English it's 'definition of', but in Danish it's 'definitionen på' (definition on), but people have started using the English version and write 'definitionen af' (definition of).

Is what I meant.

[garbon]

Oh, good.

So I just read an article about why it is better to have a big butt. Accompanying article was an image of a woman with her butt thrusted to make it look larger. One of the comments on the article was that the photo was offensive.  Does feminism = no one can ever look sexy?
