That's Mormon Hamlet. If you watch the video, he's proselytizing with a fucking skull for some reason.
Oh, so who's the guy next to him with the flatcap and braces, in the yellow shirt? He's waving that bible around like he's an extra from the fucking exorcist |

I saw a woman in the CVS with those destructed leggings. She was shorter than me (<5' 4") and not fat but big enough that there was a bulge in each rip. She was really pretty actually but her legs looked weird and painful. I would wear those but only to make people projectile vomit. Cause, you know, that would be funny.

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

I've told people in interviews that that question will not produce what they want. You'll either hire an accomplished liar or disqualify somebody who is qualified for the job but didn't give you the standard answer. |

I thought the standard answer is to mention something that may be a weakness from a personal point of view, but definitely a strength from the employer's point of view, like "I work too much" or "I stress about doing a perfect job." Which ultimately answers nothing; I'd only ask this question to see if the candidate has at least done some homework / prepared for the interview a bit.
IMO you can't tell much from an interview, as all candidates are pretending to be perfect for whatever they imagine I want for the position. Even an IT interview that's a hundred-questions exam can completely fail at revealing personality or other flaws.

The "I work too much" doesn't work anymore, if it even ever did in the first place.

Those are easily revealed by just asking about a few threads you saw on Reddit that morning before the interview and gamergate.  |

I always used something along the lines of "I get too focused on my work/tasks sometimes".  Usually worked. Until the one time the guy said 'ok, whats your second weakness.' Fuck! |

My strategy pine about how my awkwardness dealing with interpersonal conflict and general bafflement around office politics mean I'd never have those skills required for management.
A genuine weaknesses, a memorable answer they probably haven't heard, a compliment to those interviewers who are management, and a harmless smirk from those who aren't. I respect the institution, I should be easy to manipulate, and I'm not your competition.

If I really didn't want the job my answer to the weakness question was, "I'm too direct. As an example, I think that's a ridiculous interview question created by some HR team years ago to prove if you have been in an interview before."

For that exact reason I continue to stick with "I'm too honest and speak my mind... passionately," as the answer I have in my head. Not that I've had that kind of interview in almost 14 years.

Being direct gets me more jobs than it didn't. Most people are looking for someone that can tactfully get to the point. They respected that aspect from you as long as you weren't cruel or belittling, and you did it one-on-one instead of in groups.

I got a laugh at my last interview by responding to it with something that boiled down to "I don't like working with morons and end up cutting them off and letting them figure out where else they'd rather work. More work for me but I like it better not dealing with the idiot." |

It is Darrel Hammond and that whole advert series is just sucky creepy. Ugh. KFC doesn't get our business anymore because they never have any fucking chicken. We finally gave up and started driving a bit further to Popeye's if we really wanted fried chicken. A few weeks ago the husband was in Indy and decided to stop by a KFC there for something to eat. They were out of chicken and said it would be a 15 minute wait for more. Bah, no awesome pic to offer up. |

 I want one right now. But I have a high blood pressure. Around 165. Doc told me if I don't quit, I might not live past 40. So yeah. Taking it easy at the moment.  |

Well, sure. If I need a laxative, Popeye's is a great choice. You know it's working because of the burn.

Really? I thought it looked like Darrel Hammond but I thought he died three or four years ago. I wonder why I thought that? Yeah, but still creepy. Colonel Sanders is not supposed to be weird and funny, he's supposed to be sweet and cuddly. He's supposed to make you want to eat chicken. Not that I care much... I don't eat any of it anymore and haven't for ages. When I'm in the mood for fried chicken, I make some. Which is almost never.

Here in Seattle we have Ezel's chicken, which is like a low brow KFC. Better, since you can get half a pound of chicken livers and fried okra. FYI, do not try to eat a pound of that after 40. It does not go well.
