At my downtown company, an in-building parking pass is up for grabs every Friday based on a trivia exam. The winner from last week must devise a new contest for the next week, and though I’m partial to a mix of mythology, anatomy and etymology – and absolutely nothing you would ever f-ing learn while watching TV – I will use the Eyeballing Game this week.

Because, it is a great equalizer. And it kicks ass.

On the “make a right angle” one I got it dead on the line, but my line wasn’t as long as the other line, so it gave me an error of 4.5. I call bullshit.

That spoof about reducing carbon footprint is funny and scary, at the same time. Too close to the truth in this world, I fear.

John Dingell, meet Poe’s Law.

Helmut:

It’s not so much as this specific law, but rather that SCOTUS pretty much said congress can do whatever the fuck it wants, and make you do whatever it wants, as long as they attach it to the tax code.

Anyone else worried?

LOL loved the melodramatic graphic that said “6-28-12: The day freedom died”. Silly conservative, where have you been? If you think this corporatist compromise of a law is the worst blow to freedom ever then you haven’t been paying attention. Shit, healthcare stocks went up when the law was passed, so you’d think Republicans would be happy. The inconveniences of this law will trickle down to the people, as always. This motherfucker needs to read the Agitator if he wants to see how freedom is being undermined every day.

Welcome Patrick!

I stopped caring about my carbon footprint after finding out that I should’ve just crawled in a hole and died when I was a kid.

(For the curious not wanting to play a crappy and noisy flash ‘game’, the largest single factor in whether one should crawl in a hole and die seems to be salary)

@Patrick – Yep, I also could have noted your reference to Poe’s law in the same freaking post. I missed “EuthanEazy”, that is wonderful, as is the Miss America photo for Daphne Tremayne.

I don’t think that link on the public sector jobs bears out your interpretation.

I’ve got it down to 4.86 in 130 s. Gotta keep working at it!

@3 – Because the cost-savings won’t be allowed to be realized, sure. The Republicans are already lining up to condemn them.

@7 – Yup, for the crime of disagreeing with you. You’d make a FINE cop (see the other thread ^^)

The easiest giveway, Endless Mike, is the coupon good for a discounted “blunt force euthanasia” at “EuthanEazy” (not valid for primates!) elsewhere on the site.
