  1. Re:I "Read"... on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1
    ...that let me see her dirty parts for the first time...
    This is something that I just don't get. Why are human beings' genitals considered "dirty"? I can understand it if you make a habit of not showering or bathing, but otherwise, why is sexuality dirty?
  2. Re:Blindness myths on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1
    There is no medical evidence to suggest that mastrubation is a cause of blindness.
    Unless, of course, you're looking down at yourself and you forgot to have a cum-rag handy.

    Actually, Juggs Magazine is a truly great publication. ;-) Sadly, I had to throw away my old issues -- they were too sticky.

    Next they'll require you to show your good faith by using your own credit card and/or funds for travel and business expenses.
    I worked for a company once that did this. They wanted me to fly to a remote customer site, pay for the tickets, rental car, hotel, et al on my own, and then turn the receipts in for reimbursement after the trip was finished. When they said that it typically took two to four weeks to process those receipts and to cut a check, I started laughing...

    ...and then quit that same week. Last I heard, the customer gave up in frustration and went with a competing product since the company had been unable to promptly send a systems engineer out.

    My company steals broadband from the unsecured wifi router down the hall.
    LOL! One of the remote sales guys that work for the same company as I do had his Internet connection this way -- he was sponging off his neighbor's WiFi. One day it quit working, and he called me (IT support) complaining loudly about the company-supplied connectivity being down all morning "without prior notice." Asshat!

    My company does. I'm on one of Speakeasy's high-end plans, and it bills directly to the company credit card.

  21. No Save/Restore Game Option? on The Political Games Surrounding Video Games · · Score: 2, Funny
    I know that video games definitely influence my politics. I oppose the war on Iraq specifically because I learned that the poor soldiers don't have a Save/Restore Game option.

    WTF kind of planning is that? How can anyone reasonably expect the soldiers to give their personal best when they can't even restore a saved game after getting shot by an enemy soldier? This was definitely a war that was rushed to market. Perhaps we should wait for the first patch to come out before continuing to pursue the war.

    Setting fire to the projectionist is an excellent offensive move. Barring that, set fire to the theatre. If that is not an option, yell Fire! in the theatre. Worst case scenario, simply set fire to your camcorder.
