The Park Bench: 20 Questions for Women Who Aren't...
This post from The Park Bench made me cry I laughed so much. Sorry if this is you. I’ll give you a couple of brief examples … “How does it not faze you to reveal so much cleavage you could be confused with two zeppelins racing for the ground? Don’t the leers of the homeless make you the least bit uncomfortable?” “Is that conversation you’re having on...

I particularly enjoyed Merlin’s response to the person who suggested he remove the profanity from his blog and t-shirt. It was far more pointed and insightful than what I would have said, which was (you might have guessed) - hey, you can fuck right off!
OK, the big red “TOO LONG” twitter’s got going on is a bit much. kinda took me aback there. with that font, they should’ve added “fucking.”

Personally, I hope they block the Hobbit. I still think that the Lord of the Rings was a tragedy/travesty. I still dislike Peter Jackson.
Convicted Rapist Still On the Run in South Texas →
Following up on an earlier post, this dude’s still gone. Oh, and one of the jailers is on administrative leave - seems she was hot ‘n heavy with this nut job and got in the way of the folks searching for him. I can’t figure why she wasn’t just fired.

The Skeptics’ Guide - Top 20 Logical Fallacies. This one is #4, Argument from Final Consequences. This is a teleological argument based on a a reversal of cause/effect. The ultimate effect cannot be the cause of the cause of the ultimate effect. There are lots more good ones :) If you know me, you might know I like to argue. But I’ll only argue with you if you’re going to be...

Lance Armstrong threw a hissy fit when he discovered his celebrity status does not make him immune to drinking laws like the rest of us. So of course, he decided to take out his anger at having his pride hurt on the innocent door guy at La Zona Rosa. Patrons were not impressed. Jebus, Lance, have some dignity.

The company should’ve responded by saying that they refused because the hidden cost of SELLING ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES’ SOULS TO SATAN was too great. godofbiscuits:via the AP

Wow, that’s technophobic and elitist all in one! Possibly bitchy. Definitely irritating. It’s so nice to know that, unlike the rest of us peons who need to know such lowly tasks to do our jobs, maintain our correspondence, check our bank statements, etc. Miss Actress Jolie doesn’t really have to worry about such trivial things as computers. She has people to turn on the...
Coffee Shop Failure
Me: This place is getting crappy. I'm tempted to leave.
Jeff: No kidding. I had a feeling the people would suck.
Me: No, I think that most of the place is fine. We just ended up next to some real idiots.
Jeff: Yeah. Sometimes it happens.

Cookies
Jeff: um, Mir? Some boxes of cookies were obstructing my cleaning efforts. I had to clean the insides of the boxes.
Me: Of course you did. Did you find the fudge and clean that too?
Jeff: We have fudge?
Me: Nope, we don't have any fudge! hehehe
Jeff: Evil :)
$44.6 billion Microsoft Bid for Yahoo →
This is the END. I’m not so concerned about Yahoo itself, but I’m plenty concerned about what Yahoo owns - namely, del.icio.us and flickr. I certainly won’t be using them anymore if this trade goes through. Microsoft is trying to take over the universe and people are just letting them. I can’t believe people still buy their products after they’ve demonstrated time...
