Week Opening Lowl - [chat]

_J_ said...: 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.; July 30, 2007 at 9:46 AM
Andrew said...: 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.; July 30, 2007 at 11:00 AM
Andrew said...: "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."; July 30, 2007 at 11:06 AM
_J_ said...: 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.; July 30, 2007 at 1:01 PM
Andrew said...: Im curious, what happens when your iPhone gets wet?; July 30, 2007 at 1:07 PM
_J_ said...: 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.; July 30, 2007 at 1:18 PM
Andrew said...: What does Apple do for you loss?
do they replace it or say "here buy this new one, isnt it pretty"?; July 30, 2007 at 1:25 PM
Mike Lewis said...: 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; July 30, 2007 at 1:29 PM
Andrew said...: thank you mikey; July 30, 2007 at 1:30 PM
MA17 said...: I heard that Utnapishtim could and did kick Noah's ass.; July 30, 2007 at 2:26 PM
_J_ said...: Man, Utnapishtim was awesome. Mostly because of his libation pouring.

Someone here has a Truth fish eating a Darwin fish on their car.

/sigh; July 30, 2007 at 2:46 PM

_J_ said...: 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.; July 30, 2007 at 2:54 PM

_J_ said...: 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.

Makes me laugh.; July 31, 2007 at 11:56 AM
_J_ said...: 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.; July 31, 2007 at 12:31 PM
Andrew said...: the battery cant be replaced by consumers? odd.; July 31, 2007 at 2:09 PM
_J_ said...: It is odd. It's soldered in to the case.

Because...um...turtleneck?; July 31, 2007 at 2:45 PM
_J_ said...: A nice little blog post on The Great Firewall of China; July 31, 2007 at 3:32 PM
Caleb said...: My mucus protects me.; August 1, 2007 at 8:19 AM
_J_ said...: 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!"; August 1, 2007 at 9:22 AM
Kylebrown said...: The china article was interesting, and proved once again that all companies of the world are slaves to the almighty dollar and market share.; August 1, 2007 at 9:46 AM
_J_ said...: 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.; August 1, 2007 at 10:05 AM
Andrew said...: 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.; August 1, 2007 at 11:12 AM
_J_ said...: "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.; August 1, 2007 at 11:39 AM
_J_ said...: So the phrase "bitching and whining" can fit very well into the theme song to "My Little Pony"

My-li-ttle-po-ny

bitch-ing-and-whi-ning

Syllables!; August 2, 2007 at 3:03 PM
_J_ said...: 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; August 2, 2007 at 3:04 PM
_J_ said...: Also, "Go fuck a combine" fits, too.; August 2, 2007 at 3:06 PM
Andrew said...: 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.; August 2, 2007 at 3:11 PM
Andrew said...: 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.; August 2, 2007 at 3:26 PM
_J_ said...: Muffler.

That's awesome about your boss.

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."

I'm sure that would go over well.; August 2, 2007 at 3:49 PM
_J_ said...: 8/01/07 Daily Show

Cheney: You know, victory for a politician is 50% +1.
John Stewart: My god! The Bush administration is taking The United States Pass / Fail!; August 2, 2007 at 8:12 PM
MA17 said...: "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.; August 2, 2007 at 9:30 PM
Kylebrown said...: ...wait, I should stop buying things?; August 2, 2007 at 10:49 PM
Roscoe said...: 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.; August 3, 2007 at 9:00 AM
_J_ said...: "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.; August 3, 2007 at 9:52 AM
Andrew said...: 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.; August 3, 2007 at 9:57 AM
_J_ said...: "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.; August 3, 2007 at 10:24 AM
Andrew said...: thats what desiring things leads to as well.

its a win win situation.; August 3, 2007 at 10:26 AM
Andrew said...: 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.; August 3, 2007 at 10:27 AM
_J_ said...: Is that good?; August 3, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Andrew said...: 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.; August 3, 2007 at 11:02 AM

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.; August 3, 2007 at 11:28 AM
Roscoe said...: 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.; August 3, 2007 at 11:49 AM
_J_ said...: 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.; August 3, 2007 at 11:50 AM
_J_ said...: There is a difference between pre-emptive strike and pre-emptive spending, though.; August 3, 2007 at 11:51 AM
_J_ said...: Someone on the forums for the Star Wars game made a sig for me and it made me LOL.

Here is a link to the image because I'm pretty sure that images cannot be posted in comments.; August 3, 2007 at 12:34 PM
_J_ said...: Long story short, "Funoodle" is not something one ought to google at work.; August 3, 2007 at 12:54 PM
Roscoe said...: Oh, we could devote WEEKS.. YEARS to the study of Workplace Inappropriate Google Topics.

JAY! Grad School Area of Focus!; August 3, 2007 at 12:59 PM
_J_ said...: If I had an infinite supply of Fruit Roll Ups I would eat all of them.

Possibly in one sitting.; August 3, 2007 at 4:34 PM
MA17 said...: One infinite sitting, of course.; August 3, 2007 at 5:18 PM
_J_ said...: For MA17,

Luke: But I was going to go into Toshe Station to pick up some pants!
Uncle Owen: You can waste time with your pants when your chores are done.; August 3, 2007 at 5:29 PM
MA17 said...: Oh mans, I love those!

Vader - I find your lack of pants disturbing.; August 3, 2007 at 5:53 PM
