  1. Re:Snarky course title on University Offers Course To Help Sniff Out and Refute 'Bullshit' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    I worked for a company that caught a new manager lying about his qualifications. Fired his ass.

    The big cheese walked around the office asking people what the first derivative of 1/x was. If you couldn't answer or answered wrong, he had HR check your education credentials. But even there, they didn't want a transcript, just verified the degrees claimed. About half the staff had forgotten high school calculus (couldn't come up with the answer for some reason). Turns out, nobody else was lying about their degrees.

  2. 'Kinko the Clown' is classic Dr. Demento material.

  3. We're still waiting on the promised spending cuts that were supposed to match the tax increase.

    We can't read things obviously written in invisible ink. We leave that to the baptists and their ilk.

    Have you been 'not drinking' again?

    You think you can't rest while having a drink?

    There is nothing immoral about drinking, nothing. Even the fictional character, Jesus, drank. His #1 miracle was turning water into good wine.

    By their own rules: They are going to hell for _not_ drinking and claiming the bible says not to drink. Mostly the latter, there is no rule that says you must, just as their is no rule saying you shouldn't.

    Once you've got a couple of jobs under your belt, nobody will ever again look at your college transcript.

    Jesus's first miracle recorded. Turning water into wine.

    Nowhere in the bible is their a prohibition against drinking, not even against getting drunk, just against being a drunkard.

    It's amusing that the worst 'bible literalists' have added alcohol prohibition, the last words in the bible are 'don't add or remove anything from this'. They are going to hell for not drinking.

    They recycle water, but still need to bring some up. Might as well bring up the good stuff.

    Total darkness...

    'I look just like Brad Pitt*, in total darkness.' Replace 'Brad Pitt' with age appropriate heart throb's name.

    It's a decent line.

    Read the headline carefully, Cosmonauts are not banned from drinking in space, only Astronauts.

    I'm in favor of the 'bootlegger turn' restart for NASCAR.

    On green flag restart, the field crosses the start finish line, throws a bootlegger turn then starts racing the _other way_.

    Never happen, would require them to make right turns.

    That's why they lasted so long.

    FYI touch-up solder still has lead in it.

    I've still got a can of freon based contact cleaner, the good stuff.

  18. Monica fucking her way up the ladder is absolutely sexual harassment under the law. The victim is the person who would have gotten the job Monica got at the pentagon, along with all the other non-president blowing interns who didn't get ahead by giving head. The perps are both Clinton and Lewinsky. Though the heat would fall mostly on the person with rank.

  19. Marx was a drunk moron with no understanding of human nature or realpolitik. He has a 100% wrong rate on his social predictions.

    His books _should_ be out of print from disinterest, but for some reason they are not. I blame the teachers.

  20. Or the White house, when a Clinton is in power.

  21. I told this one old hag that unless she pulled down her 'hot men's butts' calendar, I was going to come into work with about 50% of my butt stuffed into a speedo. It was down the next day.

    Joe Rogan.

  23. Unfortunately, I've worked with a socially retarded gay male geek. Technically he ranked me, but he had no reports as everybody knew he couldn't manage people.

    'Not even if you had tits on your back', more or less, ended it. Of course some would call my 'tell off' sexist.

    We were able to work together for years after, set strong boundaries early. Don't try to 'be nice', be clear enough for a Aspi to understand it.

    I understand why straight women 'plead lesbianism'.

  24. Listen to dating advice from old folks...if you want charges brought.

    Advice like 'be persistent, pretty girls like to be pursued' will get you stalking charges. The world has changed. The basic facts remain true, but the dance has changed.

  25. The anti-free speech rioters are the fascist you dolt.
