I think I, too, once lost out on a job by being honest. I told the manager at Microsoft Press (1992)that I put unmatched effort into my work, but I also honor family and a ..."

Thanks Phil. Having thought about it further. If that is the reason for eliminating me, I am not unhappy about it. It obviously wasn't the type of company I would be happy working for.

I'll put it down as good interview experience and move on to the next one.

Thanks Jammies! ((bear hug))

You're welcome! ((zombie hug))

I learned that if you order 2 medium, 2 topping pizzas at Domino's Pizza, you can't get a cheese only on one and 3 veg on the other because they don't give a shit what you want.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Very inflexible!

I learned what that dull, annoying vaguely buzzing sound was, that sounded like it was coming from a block away. It was the sound of a text message alert while the phone was on vibrate, deep within my purse. I swear I thought it was coming from a neighbor's house.

I learned that girls are always right.

Your life will be easier now. :)

Wow, you were one stubborn man if it took you this long to realize that.

A bear can run 100 meters in 6 sec.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Sure, but can they dressage?

[Jim]

Or can they dress age appropriate?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It's so rare.

[Félix]

Medium rare, actually.

I still don't care for tequila.

[evie]

Especially the worm.

[Phil]

"Blue Dog" democrats are pussies. Fucking pussies.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Are you talking about the dude that is going to vote to hold Holder in contempt?

Seriously....just be a Republican. Don't waste people's time with that D after your name.

The difference between brewed coffee and drip coffee is like the difference between "sports" and "baseball". Virtually all hot coffee is brewed in some form or fashion, but drip coffee is brewed using a specific method, i.e. a drip coffeemaker with a filter and hot water.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I learned that some hoarders hoard their used tampons and pads.

Strike that.

You can't edit away the truth. Is that what you are trying to do?

[Cheri]

I wish I hadn't learned this today.

[Sally, la reina]

What the fuck sort of nonsense is happening in this thread?


::vacuums up sea monkey debris::

[Félix]

sea monkey feces?

[Sally, la reina]

I was imagining more like the trail of swath that Leah leaves behind.

[Sally, la reina]

Like toys and games and half eaten cereal bars and such.

[Félix]

Ah.

[Jammies]

*leaves a pile of clean but unfolded laundry in the thread*

I heard on the news that there are nine times as many gun dealers in America as McDonalds stores. Is that even possible?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Beginning in 1942, Jews in Germany were not allowed to keep pets. Since their pets were "Jewish," they had to be killed, even if their owners found non-Jewish friends to care for them.

[Jammies]

Today I learned that the State of Ohio has cheesy instrumental music from 1970s romantic films for hold music.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Today I learned that Alexander Pushkin was part black. He had a black great grandfather.

WHAT the WHAT?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It's true.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I just learned that if you live in a communal apartment in Russia, you and your co-residents have different colored toilet seats, and each family uses their own and then hangs it on the wall. You should not use the other family's toilet seat.

[Sally, la reina]

ew.

That Andy Warhol was right on the money about the 15 minutes of fame thing, even rednecks who are a minor head injury away from eating their own feces:

*hugs Cynthia* I couldn't find any articles on the web supporting this, so I'm going to treat it as a bad dream.

I was thinking that was a show I could watch, until they got to the part where the mother sneezed.

And then I couldn't tell if the pregnant daughter was 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16.

And then the ultrasound technician did an ultrasound on the 6 year old, because you definitely want to let a 6 year old know ahead of time that pregnancies are tons of fun.

And then they started talking about biscuits.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The Jewish pets thing is from the book Life and Death in the Third Reich.

[Mark]

I think Chavs, Guidos and whatever it is that you call the one's on Geordie shore all fall into the category of "just a minor head injury away from eating their own feces". The difference being that they would actually enjoy it when it happened and make comments such as "My shit sure does taste good and smells like roses."

[Sally, la reina]

Damn it!

I did not know that Bowie was supposed to play last night. I missed it.


Do not tell me that tv now has the functionality of going back to watch it anyway, even if I didn't record it. My tv habits live in the early 90s.

Just like how my mom's live in the early 70s. She turns on the tv and then walks across the room to sit down and watch it. She doesn't even use the remote to change the channels, just volume and power.
