Caleb said...: Topic: Holy Roman Empire, neither holy nor roman. discuss.; July 8, 2007 at 1:18 AM
_J_ said...: I fucking hated the Chronicles of Naria.

Christian Allegory my ass.; July 8, 2007 at 1:51 AM
Caleb said...: What was it you said "Jesus, Satan and an ornamented linen closet"

you were expecting one of those literal allegories..; July 8, 2007 at 2:01 AM
_J_ said...: Well, yeah. That's what everyone made it sound like.

Except it isn't that. And Azlan is Jesus in the same way Beta Ray Bill is Jesus.; July 8, 2007 at 2:06 AM
Caleb said...: a confluence:

"Bill was recovered by Skuttlebutt, and, after being forced to fight alongside Stardust against a demon called Asteroth, travelled to the ruined Asgard with a "meta-orb," containing the souls of most of the Korbinites. Unfortunately, the orb had become infected by Asteroth, birthing a demonic version of Bill dubbing itself "Omega Ray" which had fed upon the souls of most of the Korbinites."; July 8, 2007 at 2:17 AM
Andrew said...: What What What?; July 8, 2007 at 1:47 PM
_J_ said...: See, I can see how Beta Ray Bill is Jesus. Asteroth? That's the evil inside of all of us. Asgard? That's heaven. The meta-orb? That's the sins of mankind. Skuttlebutt? That's the Holy Spirit.

It neatly fits together. Whereas the Narnia shit is just, "Lion died and came back to life! All is jesus!"; July 8, 2007 at 2:58 PM
_J_ said...: Fresh Strawberry + Fresh Watermellon + Ice + Vodka.

In a blender.

YUMZ.; July 8, 2007 at 4:22 PM
Roscoe said...: HEY NOW. Don't be mocking my latterday Lord and Savior. He died for Thor's sins, man. Not my sins. ANOTHER GOD'S SINS. And he got stuck with one hella crappy resurrection, too.

Hobo crappy, man.; July 9, 2007 at 6:16 AM
_J_ said...: Sony lowered the price of the PS3 by $100. Knock off $500 more, release some good games, and stop punching your customers and this would be a fine product.; July 9, 2007 at 9:35 AM
Kylebrown said...: I'd be happy if they were to just release games worth playing for it. I can handle $500 and being punched in the face.; July 9, 2007 at 11:22 AM
_J_ said...: I have nothing to say to your acceptance of Sony Face Punches.

There are many aspects of Midwest Rake's Online Store that I dislike. Most of these aspects, however, involve customers being confused by pull-down menus.

"I don't live in the US! What option do I select for "state"? There is an option for "Not A US Address, but I don't know if I should select that! Metric System Metric System Metric System!"; July 9, 2007 at 11:48 AM
_J_ said...: In Snow Crash there is a character named YT Allegedly this stands for "Yours Truly". But I am adding canadian postal codes to the store, and saw that "YT" stands for "Yukon".

So, obviously, the YT in Snow Crash is "Yukon".; July 9, 2007 at 12:12 PM
_J_ said...: Also, in Bridge to Tarabithia, if my understanding from the 4 minutes of the movie I saw is correct, the main characters can say something such as "We're the fastest in Tarabithia" and it comes true.

So,
1) Why don't they say, "We're the best at everything, ever" at the onset and be done with it?
2) Why do they ever leave?; July 9, 2007 at 12:16 PM
_J_ said...: I should be paid by the word.

Also, I'm throwing a tea party for the [chat] thread. But only people posting in the [chat] thread can come.

It's going to be an awesome tea party, too.; July 9, 2007 at 1:11 PM
Roscoe said...: 1) I always thought YT was Whitey.

2) Teribithia? You leave becuase of creepy psued-incest issues.

3) WHY AM I STILL AT WORK!?; July 9, 2007 at 1:12 PM
Kylebrown said...: Will Earl Gray be served?; July 9, 2007 at 1:20 PM
_J_ said...: It will be served hot, as Earl Grey is supposed to be served.

Also Fleur De Geisha will be served. Because it is Vagina tea that tastes like bubble gum.; July 9, 2007 at 1:30 PM
Caleb said...: Could we also have some of that yummy beef jerkey tea?; July 9, 2007 at 2:22 PM
MA17 said...: Yukon? Doesn't Canada have one of those? Inuyasha should have gone there to find the rest of the Yukon jewel shards. I mean duh.; July 9, 2007 at 2:46 PM
_J_ said...: I've always considered Canada to be Feudal Japan. So, for me, Inuyasha always was there.; July 9, 2007 at 2:56 PM
_J_ said...: Also, Midwest Rake now has a generic slushie machine in the break room. If they get an ICEE or Slush Puppie machine I may never leave.; July 9, 2007 at 3:01 PM
Roscoe said...: okay.... One. Beef Jerky Tea is wonderous. Two. The HELLS does Midwest Rake get a goddamn slurpee machine?; July 9, 2007 at 3:15 PM
_J_ said...: Cause, man.

Cause

The Beef Jerky tea is wonderful. Kinda like the Fish tea.

Just had this conversation:
J: So, if a person is shopping for replacement parts are they going to know the name or the number for the product for which they need parts?

Customer Service Rep: Honestly? They won't know either.

J: That's helpful.; July 9, 2007 at 3:23 PM
_J_ said...: Hiya, Rodrigo.

Donde esta your biblioteca?; July 9, 2007 at 4:10 PM
Kylebrown said...: Su biblioteca es en mi pantalones!; July 9, 2007 at 4:17 PM
Caleb said...: I saw it, I squinted, and I said, "I'm pretty sure that is Portuguese."

What I like best about good ol' rodrigo's post is: If you speak English can see the version in English of the Camiseta Personalizada.

We had an ICEE(B) slushie machine in our elementary school cafeteria..I thought of it as a shitty apology for not teaching us a damn thing.; July 9, 2007 at 7:08 PM
Caleb said...: Very strange.

I just decided to see if I could find on googlevideo the ATHF, Carl "That's my Drama" commercial

And behold to my eyes the first search result was this video which I believe is our dear friend Rodrigo and NOT his girlfriend Raquel but some floosie named Crysna!! OMG!!; July 9, 2007 at 7:26 PM
_J_ said...: I'm pretty sure Rodrigo is a bot. If you search parts of what he said on google you find many other blogs whereon he posted the same message.; July 9, 2007 at 8:40 PM
Caleb said...: You're a bot.; July 9, 2007 at 11:41 PM
Roscoe said...: Who the hell is giving Bots slushiejobs!?

We can't allow that in our community! We may have to let those clankers and rustbuckets live here, but we don't have to let them degreade our morals!; July 10, 2007 at 6:15 AM
_J_ said...: Eat my bot.

You know what is great? Having two or three names for the same product. That's great. It makes naming replacement parts so easy.

This part is a head. For a tool. The tool is either an asphalt broom, or an aluminum brush depending on who you talk to.

AWESOME!; July 10, 2007 at 9:16 AM
_J_ said...: mmm...slushies.; July 10, 2007 at 11:07 AM
Kylebrown said...: Two or three names for the same product isn't nearly as confusing as having two products with the same name :); July 10, 2007 at 11:41 AM
_J_ said...: ...

I will agree with that.

Though, there are a number of customers who call and say, "I need a rake."; July 10, 2007 at 11:45 AM
_J_ said...: stomp stomp stomp.

Slushie Slushie Shushie.

meow meow meow.; July 10, 2007 at 12:42 PM
Roscoe said...: You missed out on a prime Nom Nom Nom opportunity; July 10, 2007 at 1:01 PM
_J_ said...: a bloo

a bloo

a bloo; July 10, 2007 at 1:05 PM
Roscoe said...: touche; July 10, 2007 at 3:42 PM
_J_ said...: POST!

We got a new spiked shoe in today. I need to figure out how to make it stand out in an "OH MY SHITS WE HAVE A NEW SHOE" sort of way without it looking retarded.; July 11, 2007 at 10:33 AM
_J_ said...: Just need to get this out,

"Products listed below are new additions to our super-wonderful line of awesome-tastic quality tools. Please commence in shitting yourself with excitement."

That's what SHOULD go on this damn page. grumble.; July 11, 2007 at 10:58 AM
Roscoe said...: I so very much want to copy-paste and shamelessly rip off something from a forum, but.. frankly...no one would get the joke.; July 11, 2007 at 11:48 AM
_J_ said...: "I so very much want to copy-paste and shamelessly rip off something from a forum, but.. frankly...no one would get the joke."

Speaking of not getting the joke...new post!; July 11, 2007 at 12:04 PM
_J_ said...: My tummy hurts.; July 11, 2007 at 12:10 PM
Mike Lewis said...: I've still got beef jerky tea left.
lots of it.

i cant bring myself to drink it anymore.; July 11, 2007 at 2:26 PM
_J_ said...: I think the worst part of the Robot Chicken Star Wars Special is that now I see quotes from it on sigs all over the interwebs.

If I see another, "What the hell's an Aluminum Falcon?" quote I'm going to smash something.; July 11, 2007 at 3:43 PM
_J_ said...: New lol raek.

The text of the feature is accurate. I added the stick-man pictures to convey what the feature says.; July 11, 2007 at 4:31 PM
Kylebrown said...: new lol raek made my day; July 11, 2007 at 4:51 PM
_J_ said...: Isn't it great?

They still haven't fixed it, either. So the flyer still says that.; July 11, 2007 at 5:30 PM
MA17 said...: Did someone say MWR has a new shoe?; July 11, 2007 at 5:34 PM
_J_ said...: Man, we totally need that on the store.

Man, look at what they made me put on the category header. Do any other categories have pictures up there? No, but JESUS FUCK WE HAVE A NEW SHOE! So up goes a picture.

:(; July 11, 2007 at 5:57 PM
_J_ said...: Also, can you take out the "Jesus Fuck"? I totally want to make that my new background at work.; July 11, 2007 at 5:58 PM
MA17 said...: Here's the cleaner version. Sorry about the size, but that's how it is.; July 11, 2007 at 6:55 PM
MA17 said...: And really, all your category headers should have pictures. Not of a spotlighted item for each category, but of the NEW SHOE. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BRING BALANCE TO THE FORCE, AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!; July 11, 2007 at 6:58 PM
_J_ said...: Yeah. The New Shoe should be on the homepage too. Everywhere.

Maybe I'll make the picture marquee across the homepage tomorrow.; July 11, 2007 at 7:12 PM
_J_ said...: Working on a review of Order of the Phoenix.; July 12, 2007 at 10:10 AM
Roscoe said...: does it involve Shoes?; July 12, 2007 at 1:00 PM
Kylebrown said...: I wish we had a ticker somewhere that would keep track of the most recent posts on comment boards, so I would have to remember post counts, to know whether or not there is something to read.; July 12, 2007 at 2:21 PM
Kylebrown said...: and by would, I mean would not, as you all should so obviously know.; July 12, 2007 at 2:22 PM
Roscoe said...: A-GREED.

Mikey, get on finding that tool.

In other news. I goddamn adore Achewood.

"NOTHING CAN UNDO WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"; July 12, 2007 at 2:44 PM
_J_ said...: How hard is it to remember post count numbers?; July 12, 2007 at 2:47 PM
_J_ said...: "I wish we had a ticker somewhere that would keep track of the most recent posts on comment boards"

How would that work? List the most recent comments...or..?; July 12, 2007 at 3:49 PM
Kylebrown said...: Just list the last 5 comments and the first few words from each... I never expected it to be done, just a pain to memorize post counts on 5 or 6 different threads.; July 12, 2007 at 5:53 PM
Roscoe said...: tools like that do exist, though..

the Gawker ones have the latest comment on the side.. which isn't much different..; July 12, 2007 at 6:40 PM
_J_ said...: The PA forums shifted around again.

Now the MMO and WoW forums have been combined as one subforum of G&T.

And it has a [chat] thread.

So, G&T can't have a chat thread. But a G&T subforum can.; July 12, 2007 at 11:10 PM
Roscoe said...: I don't approve of sub-fora.; July 13, 2007 at 9:01 AM
_J_ said...: Sub forums are weird. Why not just make it a forum unto itself?; July 13, 2007 at 9:31 AM
_J_ said...: I think Leviticus 11 might be my favorite chapter of Leviticus. This is some wonderful shit.

3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

4Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

5And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

6And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

7And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

3 explains what can be eaten. And then they have 4 more verses explaining what the "and" statement in 3 meant.

WUV IT!; July 13, 2007 at 11:10 AM
Caleb said...: Is that the King James "translation"? Why do you choose that?; July 13, 2007 at 3:22 PM
Kylebrown said...: "Luther Bible, I choose YOU!"; July 13, 2007 at 3:34 PM
_J_ said...: Of course it is the King James Version.

It's the best version. I like the language.; July 13, 2007 at 3:43 PM
