Things that are dangerous if forgotten

  1. Puppy teeth are the second sharpest thing in the world, next only to samurai swords.

  2. Puppies like to take a nip at anything and everything that grabs their attention, especially mobile things that will fit nicely in their mouths.

  3. Puppy noses can open any door that is not firmly latched.

  4. Human flesh is at its most sensitive directly after a hot shower.

It was toes people. Toes. Get your minds out of the gutter.

A word problem to wake your brain

Say that you've forgotten to turn off your email at work so it continues to pull your emails when you go home. It is set to poll for email every 20 minutes, starting at 5 after the hour. Your computer at home looks for email every 10 minutes for the same address, starting at the top of the hour. If there are 12 emails sent to you during the time both computers are pulling email, how many of these would you expect to find on the computer at work the next day?

Points: 2 points to the first person with the correct answer. No wild guesses, please - you have to explain your reasoning.

To the asshole in the Altima on the way in to work this morning:

The laws of physics still limit the number of vehicles occupying the same space to one single unit so perhaps the next time you swing over a solid white line into the non turning lane without the benefit of a turning signal because heaven forbid you would want to warn other drivers of your impending lunacy and you couldn't be bothered to switch lanes a quarter of a mile back before your lane became the home of left turning commuters you might wish to take a quick peek to be sure there are no other vehicles occupying the location you desire so you can avoid the tires screaching quick brake then foot to the floor acceleration move to cut in front of said space occupying vehicle while flipping the bird manuever that you decided to use today.

Have a nice day,
Jim

PS - I fucked your sister. She's nowhere near as good as your mom, no matter how much your dad disagrees.

You Want Pasteurized Processed American Cheese Flavored Product On That?

The Scene: Dopple-G and I are sitting down to lunch. He is eating naked burgers with cheese slices on top.

Background: Dopple-G actually enjoys American cheese singles and considers them to be actual cheese. I am a cheese snob where this pseudo-food is concerned.

Dopple-G: I've got "real cheese" today.

Me: That is not real cheese. It is "processed cheese food product".

Dopple-G: Why are you so anti-American?

Me: I'm not anti-American, I'm anti-cheese impersonation.

Dopple-G: American cheese is real cheese.

Me: Real cheese does not have partially dehydrogenated soy bean oil as an ingredient. more...

Oh where oh where did Margi go?

She went right here. Go see her new digs and update those blogrolls. I'm not sure what she's up to but it's sure to be devious and exciting.

Bad Sayings, Part 2

I've mentioned before how the message board as you enter the building sprouts the occassional inane quote. It's getting uncomfortably frequent. Here's what we have now:

The most important thing that you can wear is your expression.

This is just starting to ring too close to those insufferably smug motivation posters. The most important thing you can wear is your expression? Give me a break. I've never been asked to leave a bar because of my expression. My expression has never been the defining factor in losing a job. I've never been arrested because of my expression. I'll tell you what the most important thing you can wear is: pants. Trust me on this, m'kay?

Are you looking at my bum? Cheeky monkey!

Have any of you not yet been to Simon World? You really should check it out. Simon is well writen, attractive, and highly available for hetero or homosexual encounters. Looking for tall, dark and handsome? That's him. Short and built like a greco-roman wrestler? He's your guy. He's got humor, deep insightful commentary, and he opens windows for your mind. Unless you don't like that, in which case he's all about short and easy to understand humor. Or whatever else you're looking for.

[What's that? I can't say all that? Why not? Oh, yeah...right.]

It's been pointed out to me that as Simon is not in fact all things to all people, that I may be creating a false image in your head that he cannot possibly match, which will in turn cause you to not enjoy your experience when you go to his site and since that's pretty much 180 degrees off of the intent of this post it's not exactly the best way to pimp promote his site. Guess I've been following the Democratic Party hopefuls too closely and my worldview has been skewed. Here's the factual blurb:

Have any of you not yet been to Simon World? You really should check it out. Simon's an Aussie in Hong Kong with a lovely wife (not my Lovely Wife, of course) and kids (not my kids either) and another on the way. Humor, slice of life, a window into the world of Hong Kong; all of these and more are yours for the taking at his site. You can also help him name his baby and win fabulous prizes including a lear jet and your own private villa.

[You again? What now? Oh, okay.]

No lear jet.

There's a party in my pants and you're all invited

But if that doesn't float your boat, try the 70th edition of the Carnival of the Vanities.

First impressions can be oh so very wrong.

So, y'all know about our new puppy (Kota, short for Dakota) and how we took the calm, affectionate one instead of the hyperactive, psychotic one. By way of explaining our current situation I'll share with you the meaning of "Dakota", which I've just discovered after many hours of searching. The original Indian doesn't come over to English exactly but a loose translation is "Oh, you thought I was the calm one? You are in such terrible shit that I would pity you if only I could sit still long enough to do so".

Apparently her original calm demeanor was the result of a heavy barbituate overdose. She has now self medicated with mescaline to compensate. I must, for the sake of the family's continued sanity (okay, the adults' continued sanity), find her stash.

It just came to me that the pet-style animals in the household now outnumber the humans. 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 birds vs 5 bipeds. Thank god for opposable thumbs. Still, if they ever figure out basic mathematics we might be in for some trouble. If you ever come to the site and the entries are all "woof grrr woof" (and badly spelled) please send Snausages.

Don't piss on the electric fence!

This is most impressive. Click on the picture to see the video.

(Hat tip Dopple-G)

POINTS: 1 point for the first person to name the source of this post's title. No searching, y'all.

One for the PETAphiles

I almost feel guilty for how much time I've wasted on this little game but how often do you get to fulfill a fantasy like this?

My top score was 320.5. Dopple-G got a 323 but that's probably only because he's a natural animal abuser.

(Hat tip Dopple-G)

UPDATE: Bad news, folks. It looks like it got pulled from the site. Too bad as it was a great one. You were a Yeti and these penguins jumped off a cliff toward you and you wacked 'em with a club to send them flying for distance. Oh, it was good.

UPDATE2: Bow down and worship at Helen's feet for she has given me another link to the game and this one still works!
