1) Two people having a conversation about how much we know about Noah's Ark, and that it is awesome that we KNOW the exact measurements and that we do a disservice to scripture by telling our children it is this cute boaty thing when we actually know its dimensions.
I look forward to the rant. and when i was at VBS back in the day we spent the week talking about noahs ark and at one point went outside to form a line to show how long it was and stuff. i dont really remember much more, i wasnt really paying attention. i was more interested in all the cracks in the parking lot.
If I had an iPhone I could find the number for the air conditioner repair place and then check their address on google maps to see where the building is.
They were doing "The Feed" and the lady who does it was expanding beyond her coverings, so after the Feed when they went back to the idiot and the lady at comic con the idiot said, "HUGE stories" and the girl started on her bit that she had to say, and said, "Yes, huge stories.." and then she started cracking up laughing and had to cover her mouth because she couldn't stop.
You see, the idiot wasn't actually refering to the "stories" when he said, "huge".
There is a great non sequitur joke / situation that I saw in...I think a television show somewhere. These two guys are doing something, something unexpected happens, and then they're just standing there. They have this exchange:
P1: So, that old lady from Titanic was just a liar and a whore, right? P2: Yeah.
I think the most bizzare part of this case is that the guy, presumably, owns an iPhone. And why anyone who owns an iPhone would want to sue Apple rather than send Steve Jobs a Stripper and a Turtle Neck is beyond me.
The guy my age who got married recently was talking about how marriage is a terrible idea and how all of your money goes away. He was explaining to his wife that things bought with the bank loan were not "free" but that they would have to pay them back.
Then one of the ladies said, "Jay, don't you want to get married?"
Of course companies are slaves to the dollar. should companies be responsible for upholding american ideals on a global scale? I think not.
the yale interns would ask people if they liked sushi or have tried it. it was mostly a way for them to try to look elitist and trendy. one of the yale interns had a landrew complex.
My Little Pony, My Little Pony What will today's adventure be? My Little Pony, My Little Pony Will there be exciting sights to see? Where will you wander? Hither and yonder Letting your heart be your guide! My Little Pony, My Little Pony I'll be there right by your side I'll be there right by your side
My supervisor went on a speach about people in the building who close their doors and are not inviting and wont work with other departments. and how we should work to open those doors and work with those departments on our projects.
She also keeps her door closed and tells us that we shouldnt work with other departments to help them accomplish their goals.
LOTS of people are gone this afternoon, so when a customer calls asking for help there's no one here to take your call. I've decided that we ought to be honest for the afternoon.
"I'm sorry. He can't help you. He's currently roofing his house."
"He was explaining to his wife that things bought with the bank loan were not "free" but that they would have to pay them back."
I'm starting to suspect that there are people who take economics and learn what money is, and people who don't take econ, and they just kind of wing it. But then there's a third group who take anti-economics or something and I think they learn how money is free and even if you don't have any, that doesn't mean you should stop buying things.
"But then there's a third group who take anti-economics or something and I think they learn how money is free and even if you don't have any, that doesn't mean you should stop buying things."
My sibling is in this group. She had to get another credit card so that she could pay off the first credit card bill. And then after she got the second credit card she spent $500 on vet bills for her damn cat.
My understanding, at least with regard to sibling, is the idea that "eventually I will have money" and so it's fine to be in debt, because eventually you will have enough money to pay your bills. And since you will eventually have enough money you might as well spend all that you have now.
my stance is "why the hell do i need any of this crap?"
I dont have money to spend, and i dont want the things it can buy me. so i dont buy those things. well, except for the ocasional dvd or book. oh, and sometimes i eat.
good? is that good? what kinda question is that? how the hell should i know? whats good? i find that for me not having crap is better than having crap. having crap means i have to be responible for it and worry about it. crap is a trap. its a crap trap. but good? bad? who cares. not buying crap means that my funds are free to purchase future items that i may someday desire. like a place to call home.

I choose to interpret that logic in such a way that allows me to breathe underwater because I will eventually be back above the water where there is plenty of breathable air.

I agree. I don't have money now, but I will, so I do. I don't have air now, but I will, so I do.

I arrived at work this morning to find
1) Two people having a conversation about how much we know about Noah's Ark, and that it is awesome that we KNOW the exact measurements and that we do a disservice to scripture by telling our children it is this cute boaty thing when we actually know its dimensions.
2) The Air Conditioning still doesn't work.
So, there will be a rant today.
I look forward to the rant.
and when i was at VBS back in the day we spent the week talking about noahs ark and at one point went outside to form a line to show how long it was and stuff. i dont really remember much more, i wasnt really paying attention. i was more interested in all the cracks in the parking lot.
I like Rivers discription of Noah's Ark.
"Noah's ark is a problem. We'll have to call it "early quantum state phenomenon." Only way to fit five thousand species of mammal on the same boat."
I hate not having air conditioning.
If I had an iPhone I could find the number for the air conditioner repair place and then check their address on google maps to see where the building is.
Im curious, what happens when your iPhone gets wet?
What part?
I'm pretty sure that if you Mike it up and drop it in a toilet it stops working. If it gets a few drops on the outside they probably just wipe off.
It if becomes water then you can't use the internet anymore, but you can accept incomming calls.
What does Apple do for you loss?
do they replace it or say "here buy this new one, isnt it pretty"?
apple will replace it for free for the 1st year, unless you give them $70 more. Than they will replace it for 3 years.
They are guaranteeing that they will replace it with 24 hours if you live within 200 miles of an apple store and call them before 5pm
thank you mikey
I heard that Utnapishtim could and did kick Noah's ass.
Man, Utnapishtim was awesome. Mostly because of his libation pouring.
Someone here has a Truth fish eating a Darwin fish on their car.

Also, G4 made me laugh during my lunch break.
They were doing "The Feed" and the lady who does it was expanding beyond her coverings, so after the Feed when they went back to the idiot and the lady at comic con the idiot said, "HUGE stories" and the girl started on her bit that she had to say, and said, "Yes, huge stories.." and then she started cracking up laughing and had to cover her mouth because she couldn't stop.
You see, the idiot wasn't actually refering to the "stories" when he said, "huge".
That's where the humor was.

Makes me laugh.
Some Yahoo is suing Apple because the iPhone battery can't be replaced by consumers.
I think the most bizzare part of this case is that the guy, presumably, owns an iPhone. And why anyone who owns an iPhone would want to sue Apple rather than send Steve Jobs a Stripper and a Turtle Neck is beyond me.
the battery cant be replaced by consumers? odd.
It is odd. It's soldered in to the case.
Because...um...turtleneck?
A nice little blog post on The Great Firewall of China
My mucus protects me.
It's true.
The guy my age who got married recently was talking about how marriage is a terrible idea and how all of your money goes away. He was explaining to his wife that things bought with the bank loan were not "free" but that they would have to pay them back.
Then one of the ladies said, "Jay, don't you want to get married?"
To which I replied, "It's a trap!"
The china article was interesting, and proved once again that all companies of the world are slaves to the almighty dollar and market share.
Companies exist to make money.
Listening to people in the office talk about food, and how they can know sushi to be gross without trying it...
I hate the Midwest.
Of course companies are slaves to the dollar. should companies be responsible for upholding american ideals on a global scale? I think not.
the yale interns would ask people if they liked sushi or have tried it. it was mostly a way for them to try to look elitist and trendy. one of the yale interns had a landrew complex.
"I eat raw fish and seaweed. I am better than those who do not."
That's a neat little argument to maintain in one's head.
So the phrase "bitching and whining" can fit very well into the theme song to "My Little Pony"

Also, "Go fuck a combine" fits, too.
How does one fuck a combine?
one can fuck on a combine, but not with. i hate that i know people who have fucked on a combine.

Muffler.
That's awesome about your boss.

"I'm sorry. He can't help you. He's currently roofing his house."
I'm sure that would go over well.

...wait, I should stop buying things?
Money IS Free, man. It's nothing more than economic information, encoded into paper slips.
and Information wants to be FREEE.
and Kyle cannot stop buying things until I've bilked him outta everything I want..... I mean... no.. that's precisely what I mean.
"But then there's a third group who take anti-economics or something and I think they learn how money is free and even if you don't have any, that doesn't mean you should stop buying things."

"my stance is "why the hell do i need any of this crap?""
Fair point. Usually it isn't "need" so much as "desire". And why people desire things is a great question.
The people on the apathy planet in Serenity didn't desire things. And usually that's what not desiring things leads to.
thats what desiring things leads to as well.
its a win win situation.
and i have desires. Why i have them i dont know, but i do have them. i just dont buy the crap most of the time. or rather i buy less crap than most.
Is that good?
good? is that good? what kinda question is that? how the hell should i know? whats good?
i find that for me not having crap is better than having crap. having crap means i have to be responible for it and worry about it. crap is a trap. its a crap trap.
but good? bad? who cares. not buying crap means that my funds are free to purchase future items that i may someday desire. like a place to call home.

I choose to interpret that logic in such a way that allows me to breathe underwater because I will eventually be back above the water where there is plenty of breathable air.
Hey. That logic totaly works in court.
"Yeeronner, I hadda kill'er. She woulda some day killed me, you see."
Pre-emptive self defense. Air-tight and all legal like.
It IS a crap trap.
"I choose to interpret that logic in such a way that allows me to breathe underwater because I will eventually be back above the water where there is plenty of breathable air."
I agree. I don't have money now, but I will, so I do. I don't have air now, but I will, so I do.
There is a difference between pre-emptive strike and pre-emptive spending, though.
Someone on the forums for the Star Wars game made a sig for me and it made me LOL.
