I wonder what was up with that woman. Her outfit didn't say target worker and unless Mrs. Obama was standing right next to the woman, why would she ask?

[Admiral Yi]

Isn't she pretty tall.

One time after work I stopped at KMart to buy motor oil & a filter.  I was wearing a suit and some old lady thought I worked there.  I was confused because how many KMart employees wear a damned suit, but I got over it pretty quickly.

I don't think that I'd scout around for any random tall person to help me.

I once wore my staple red shirt at walmart back when their manager wore red.

That was not a fun 15 minutes.

This is kind of cool - Shell is planning on processing LNG offshore, using the world's largest ship to do so.

One shot lighter.

I did 7-3:30 for a year.  Once you got your clock switched around it was surprisingly great.

The worst shift I ever worked was 4:00-800, go to school, have a nap, then 16:00 to 20:00.  I could only do that for a few months before leaving that job.  The money was great as they paid a huge premium for working the second shift but it was like the walking dead.

Apparently there are strong rumours of the queen abdicating this xmas.

She looked like she was going to barf at the Olympics.

The rumour is (apparently) that she would abdicate in her annual Christmas Day message.

But a "Royal source" points out that the Queen has never, ever announced anything of substance in her Christmas message, and that since it is released at 3pm in each Commonwealth country it would mean Tuvalu would hear about it hours before London would.

We've had the same rumours for a while, yet we still have the chain smoking old Queen and her crazy (but loveable) French husband instead of a young energetic King and a beautiful Queen.

Is public sentiment leaning towards having the young energetic King over the Queen M2?

[Josquius]

The evidence for the strength of the rumour is interesting- bookies have recieved some suspicious bets about it, just like they did for prior big royal announcments.

I really dont see the queen ever abdicating though. She is too religious and dorsnt believe she can

[Admiral Yi]

What does religion have to do with it?
