HAPPY BIRTHDAY KURGAN.

HERE I AM. I'M THE MASTER OF YOUR DESTINY. I AM THE ONE. THE ONLY ONE. I AM THE GOD OF KINGDOM COME. GIMME THE PRIZE. JUST GIMME THE PRIZE.

Also, you too Yegolev & L'il Yegolev.

[Yegolev]

Thanks.  It's really all about the guy at the bottom now.  I'll pass it on.  Maybe he will get off his ass and review another game.

[Signe]

Happy Birthday to the O'levs! 

[Lantyssa]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KURGAN.

Hehe.  I was going to post along those lines.

Tell the sprog happy birthday.  And I guess for you, too.  I don't want you getting green with jealousy.  Well, greener.  More green?

[Yegolev]

Nah, I've given up my birthday for him.  I mean, after him as a present I'm pretty much done.  No need for further birthdays.

[Soukyan]

Happy Birthday, Yegolev and son.

[Signe]

Nah, I've given up my birthday for him.  I mean, after him as a present I'm pretty much done.  No need for further birthdays.

Don't you believe for a minute that pretending to sacrifice your birthday will prevent you from eventually going all wrinkly!

[Strazos]

TOEHEAD! 

[Signe]

? ? ?

[Yegolev]

Don't you believe for a minute that pretending to sacrifice your birthday will prevent you from eventually going all wrinkly!

Already wrinkly in places, but I believe that's normal.  Also, thanks loads for reminding me of my eventual date with a coffin.  That was sweet.

[Strazos]

Completely useless, but the new female gladiators on the new American Gladiators show are all pretty hot.

Then again, I'm one of them thar weirdos who thought Demi Moore was hot in GI Jane. Even after she shaved her head.

[Strazos]

Also, anyone else think the newer Geico spots are awesome?

Peter Frampton with a vocoder? James Lipton taking a dip in the pool? Awesome.

[Sky]

The James Lipton thing sends me off into a Farrell-esque bout of douchebaggery that has my fiancee rolling her eyes dangerously.

I poured boiling water into my souvenir FCB mug and it cracked.  I am very distraught.  I may have to go back to Barcelona and get another one.

[Signe]

You can probably buy one right inside Barcelona airport.  All in all, it should only take a day or two and cost a grand or so, including the mug.  OR, you could buy one from Amazon or ebay for a tenner or so. 

Personally, I'd go for a week in Barcelona and buy one during a match.  It might run several thousand dollars but it's obviously the loveliest choice.

[lamaros]

Incredibly tired and bored. Don't think I've posted so much to f13 in a single day before.

Soon I will return home, eat, and sleep.

And it will be good.

[Signe]

What do you do for a living?  Count beans?  Stretch shoes?  Sys Admin?

I bet he's a Navy Seal who also gives candy to African orphans. And he's Santa Claus AND the Easter Bunny that lives in the cave they buried Jesus in.

[Signe]

I bet he's a Navy Seal who also gives candy to African orphans. And he's Santa Claus AND the Easter Bunny that liveswho live in the cave they buried Jesus in in which they buried Jesus.

I hope you are ashamed.

[Sky]

Santa doesn't live in the cave. But I'll fix the end of that sentence for your grammar snake:

And he's Santa Claus AND the Easter Bunny that lives in the cave they buried Jesus in, asshole.

I'm fianced to a woman with a degree in english. I hear it all the time, and I'm not ashamed. I even made up a word for prepositions ending a sentence, it's a postposition. But I like just adding 'asshole' better.

[voodoolily]

I think you should call it a pole position.

[cmlancas]

I bet he's a Navy Seal who also gives candy to African orphans. And he's Santa Claus AND the Easter Bunny that liveswho live in the cave they buried Jesus in where they buried Jesus.

I hope you are DOUBLY ashamed.

Use where for spatial position! Grammar Snake lurks!

[Sky]

I got yer pole position right here!!

Go Kitty!  Go!  Go!

While talking to someone especially stupid on the phone today, I thought about opening a porn download service called bamazon.com.

Turns out bamazon.com is taken.

By Amazon.

[Signe]

Someone has Obamazon.com, too. 

[schild]

Ok, that's awesome.

[lamaros]

Is 42 degrees Celsius. here.

You know that you need a vacation when you put off urination, then wander toward your destination while unbuttoning your pants, then stop yourself when you realize that you have bellied-up to a trash can.

[MrHat]

Does anyone enjoy going to work?  I'm having yet another quarter life crisis.  I can't stand working on what I'm working on.  But I've had alot of jobs since college and it's been the same pattern everytime.

Is it me? Or is the whole system broke.

I was going to make a seperate thread, but really, I can't stand those whiney threads.

[cmlancas]

I'd estimate maybe 75% of the world's population despise their jobs. However, does your job enable you to do things you like once you have your paycheck?

Yes. 

[cmlancas]

Unless what you do is making the lives of others miserable, it sounds like you may have a head up on most other people. I know that I'm trying to just squeeze by on my little $12/hr.

What exactly makes you miserable? Is it the constraints of deadlines? The people you work with? The implementation of your diligence?

[Sky]

I like my job most days. Right now I'm digitizing come of our private collection for a patron in Boston. Just for reference so I'm not cleaning up or enhancing anything, just getting it onto disc to send out. The REAL fun stuff is doing repairs and touch-up and creating a document that's pristine from a tattered old relic on onion skin. Old mechanical drawings and whatnot. My favorite thing to do, though I rarely get to do it.

Only things I hate about work is a) I'm not at home or out hiking; b) urban kidz 4 myspace; c) meltdowns (like drive failures or server hardware failure, and even then I have backups). It's a good job, if not one I'd ever envisioned.

However, my truck will cost $1600 to pass inspection. I'm now thinking about a new vehicle. This doesn't go well with trying to save/qualify for a mortgage. I'm pretty bummed out right now. Also, the truck I want is eeexpensive (though less expensive than other small SUVs) and won't fit in my rented garage. My other options look like something my dad would drive. Bah.

[voodoolily]

fwiw, I called in sick today so I could stay home and make my venison chorizo and get photos of it in natural light. Today I cared more about cooking and food photography than going to work, but then I also have 90+ hours of sick time going to waste.
