Bear guzzles 36 beers, passes out at campground
I'd hate to have been around for the bear's hangover...
Good evening! Happy Solstice all!
And now, I present (for those of you who can get news from Salon.com and if you don't, I recommend a day pass...) the WTF article of the year...
Enjoy!
Christians look to form "new nation" within the U.S...
And they're going to start with South Carolina...
Don't these people remember what happened the LAST TIME South Carolina seceded?
On this day... 2048 years ago... (Well, give or take a few days... or months... I'm not exactly sure about the whole calendar shifting thing) Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times and died...
Anyway... so... I don't know what scares me more... This site or the email I got from them at work today... requesting to be resellers. O_O
So... has anyone seen those new talking Care Bear plushies? My GODS!!! They've turned the Care Bears into FURRBIES!!!
Does anyone here remember a time when stuffed animals didn't need to talk to keep a kid happy?
I found this list in one of my random searchings through Amazon.com...
WTF?
Somewhere in this country there's a VP of a bank who's trying very hard to get me and Birdy fired right now. Why you ask? Because we wouldn't transfer a former employee's account over to him without verification of specific account information....
Now mind you, this is the VP of a BANK... Don't you think he would know better?
The head of our legal department just decided that I'm too tall because my head gets in the way of him opening the kitchen cabinets... Now THERE'S a first...
Rather than paying a bunch of people to polish the copper roofs of the Grauman's Chinese until their arms fall off, they've decided to simply PAINT over the tarnished green with gallons of shinny copper paint...
We're betting the paint starts streaking before they're done...
An email thread sprung from the US Government's infantile new political tactics...
S - Everything Bush and our nice little government learned they really DID learn in Kindergarten.
Me - Oh yeah... I've already heard about this...
S - That's crazy.
Um, yeah, I'd like some freedom fries with my Mc BombIraq with special sauce, all beef patties, on a sesame seed bumb.
Me - Yeah... next they're going to outlaw Vodka until the Russians start behaving...
S - LOL.
YOU PEOPLE CAN ONLY EAT BREAD.
Me - And while we're at it, let's close down all the Chinese food places in the country and ban the use of Wontons and Soy Sauce.
S - There we go.
I feel like I'm in some frightening Sci-Fi movie.
Me - No shit!
So I'm driving to work this morning. I get to the intersection of Hollywood and Highland and I see these weird cob web-like things streamed along Hollywood Blvd. It turns out that they're bras. Hundreds of bras strung along Hollywood Blvd. by a local radio station to promote breast cancer awareness... weird...
Of course the big question of the morning is: How many fire engines does it take to put out a measly apartment fire. I'd been wondering for a while when that ugly green apartment building behind the Chinese theater was going to go up in flames.... And it did! ...Or at least it started to... The fire wasn't actually that big. Just a lot of black smoke coming out of the roof from what I could tell. It turns out though, that my answer to this question is about 20... at least... There may have been more up on
Franklin... I can't see through the trees.
And finally, I'd just like to say a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! To Esowolf.
Okay... so I'd just like to take a moment to point out how WRONG this is...
And if you think the concept is wrong, read the user reviews....
Make sure you go back a few pages!! I just updated three days of shit in here... PLUS!! All the weird links have been fixed... I hope this time... But if they're not, I'm sure that Esowolf will be the first one to let me know. :P
Okay now THIS is a first...
I know that there's at least one rant in The Inferno that goes off on the various notes left on my car because of the witchcraft sticker on my car... But never in my life would I have expected a pick up note...
I'm totally serious about this. I walked out of class tonight and what do I find on my car? A NOTE!! Expecting to find material for a brand new rant on how my theological views are my views deal with it... or at the very least a good laugh, I get in the car and open the note. Unexpectedly, I find a scrawling in red ink from someone several classes ahead of me who is interested in meeting me.... because I'm a witch... Highly odd...
Now before someone (like my dear best friend, Esowolf) latches onto this prospect, I should point out that the note said that the guy (it IS from a guy) hadn't met any "witches or mages" in the area, which kinda puts a damper on the whole thing because the first thing to come into my mind was that the guy was either a gamer with no sense of reality, someone akin to that girl Esowolf ran into at a local high school after seeing The Craft, or that he actually might be bent on a religious conversion and he's just being subtile about it, for once.
BTW: (because I know you're wondering whether or not I'm going to do anything about this now) I don't know if I'm actually going to take this guy up on his request or not if for no other reason than the fact that his timing REALLY sucks! I mean really! I'm about to start finals, I move to one of our other campuses on Monday and by the time I get back to the campus I'm on, he'll be graduated. Talk about short notice!! Three days is hardly enough time to devote to pondering this... And it's not like I have the time in the first place...
But then, a lot can happen in 3 days.
Interesting combination of characters downstairs... Marilyn Monroe, Batman, Kato from Green Hornet and Elmo... Very strange...
In other news... HA!!!
So... When all other medicinal remedies fail... brake out the inhaler...
It's so easy for me to forget that I have asthma because it's hardly ever a problem... Unless you put me in a room with cats, cigarette smoke and very little ventilation... But now that I've been pretty much sick for 2 weeks straight and hacking up a lung whenever possible, it's time to remember such things, since I'm tired of sounding like I've been smoking a pack a day for 50 years.
This really sucks to because I have to go and rip Macy's a new asshole when I get home.
Get this... I go into Macy's Saturday to pick up a shirt. I get to the checkout stand and I'm told that my card has been suspended. The woman at the counter calls to find out what the problem is, hands me the phone and the woman on the other end proceeds to tell me that my card has been closed due a late payment I sent in December....
Okay... first of all... WHAT THE FUCK?!?!
That was my reaction anyway. The kicker is that from what I was told, (if this is even a valid reason for closing my account) they didn't even bother closing my account in December. They waited until Saturday, when I was ready to use my card to mark the account closed. There was no balance owed on the card. In fact, i received a statement last month informing me I had a 30 cent credit on the account.
This has got to be the lamest thing I've ever heard. So... before I actively begin boycotting Macy's, I'm going to give them a chance today to explain themselves.
Half of the people in my office are suddenly obsessed with this car that's sitting on the parking structure behind our building. According to my other manager, the Wiffleball Champ, the back two tires are not... on... the... ground. Which means that it is literally resting on the concrete divider that separates the parking spaces from the driving lanes... Actually... this car is literally blocking traffic. How does someone manage to do that? The car in question is a Honda Civic. It's hardly tall enough to make it over the concrete without damaging something. Yet, somehow, this car managed to park itself in this position. The big question now is: did the driver do this or is this the fault of one of the parking attendants? Several of us are leaning towards the latter because we've seen how they drive.... This is why no one drives EarthShadow but me.
