When they showed the dead, burning bodies, she yelled, “MMM, fried chicken!”
Damn, I wish I had…dated…her.
First on three!
Eat dirt, Swampy!
Poem, The calf path
That was a well-known classic American poem, back when there was such a thing.
FWIW, I was born in Grand Rapids, and I have relatives in Bend. Guess why there are towns there…
All I can remember is the Principal bitching at us for laughing, and a cartoon ejaculation. There may have been a cartoon vagina involved. I always thought the girls saw the same thing, that’s why I had such a hard time getting dates early on.
Worked, dad to run out to The Quay. Plenty of debris left over from Memorial Dayweekend.
How about 3 goldfish, a large mouth bass, a catfish, and a carp with plastic vampire teeth glued to its face with “piranha” written on its sides with a Sharpie?
Rat fairs are fun, but they tend to make a rodent in your wallet.
RIP, Herbs.
Yes it was.
Early on?:dubious:
Mel ha, good poem.
Same here. Prayers for her family and loved ones; she was such a great lady that once the shock wears off they are going to need any comfort they can get. From friends, God, or who/whatever.
Hmmmm, most people I know want to skip when they’re happy, not crappy.
Ohhhh, you mean call off irk. [Emily Litella]Nevermind[/EL]
& feel better.
The story’s awesome, but the links to some of the related whacko stories are even better, including one about I’VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING CRABS ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANE!
Well, they do have requirements as to so much protein in every meal. 
Proper form is to edit your original post; otherwise, it’s just post padding.
You may want to go with Option #2 as to why you couldn’t get dates. Just sayin’ :o
I led a big conf call at irk today, including screensharing on the WebEx. People from other buildings locally, as well as in other states. Get thru the preliminaries when AOOOUGAH BLINK, AOOOUGAH BLINK, AOOOUGAH BLINK; The AOOOUGAH’s are loud enough that even the people on the phone heard 'em. You know, it’s hard to lead a conf call when you’re being evacuated for a fire alarm. :smack:
At least I was able to quickly email the spreadsheet to my boss so the meeting wasn’t totally wasted, but so much for my opportunity to run the show.
Work sucked about what I expected; at least three people walked out which means automatic termination. And then herbs. Think I may lurk a bit and then turn in. This is one of those rare days when I just can’t really think all that much.
Thanks for sharing this!!
And on that note, I need to go to bed. *** MWAH!!***
What in the world happened to prompt that?
I’m in a shipping center; think UPS although it ain’t them. To even out the flow between the different lines (8 of them) they decided to move some numbers around. the packages that used to go to C-013 pallet now go to J-005 pallet, J-094 was moved to A-087, and so forth and so on. The problem is the labels on the packages. With the change coming they developed a label that has the old number and the new number. Like this:
C-013
J-005
The problem is that is close to how they look in real life except not as orderly and with lots of other words and crap around them. And these packages are shooting, especially in two of the jobs, really fast. Needless to say as much ended up on the wrong lanes as the right lanes and general mayhem abounded. Compounding the situation, the manager of my shift today let the assignments be made by something the computer calls a randomizer. Which isn’t since the only thing it assigns me to is a job called water-spider. But that is another gripe.
One of the jobs is called scanner; that’s where you actually pick the package off the rollers and place it on the pallet to go to the USPS. I am, by any measure you can think of, one of the top scanners ever in the building. And I really love that job no matter how heavy we get slammed. So of course I was assigned water-spider. And the two best water-spiders were assigned as one as a scanner and the other as something called “sort slide”.
Confusing labels, people in their least favorite slots, with the heat and humidity, and 10,000 MORE packages than we normally have - some people just couldn’t take it. And the one hard and fast rule is you walk off the line for anything short of a medical emergency and you are gone. I saw two walk off myself and I suspect others. And I’m betting several people re-think things overnight and put in their resignations or call in sick for a while.
This is part time. None of us live on this check really. It’s a second job for the younger folks and fun money for us old farts. Management could have/should have done this better.
I knew I was going to leave early June back in November when I hired on – too much fun stuff and big money paydays for me that month to miss. But had I not already planned it, I sure would be thinking about it right now.
Up, caffeinated, off to work.
There are actually plans for today. I need to get to the convenience center when it opens and dispose of our trash and recycling. Then home to get cleaned up, then off to the Dr to talk to her about my shoulder - it’s been hurting since Feb and despite my efforts to stretch and de-kink it, the pain will not abate, and it occasionally gets worse. I thought it was a repetitive motion issue, but I suspended the particular activity that seemed to be the trigger (crocheting) but no dice. So anyway, we’ll see.
Then I need to stop at Food Lion - almost out of wet doggie food, plus **FCD **needs more Wickles. The man is becoming an addict!
After all that, who knows… Rain, I hope.
Happy Wednesday, all!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffienated, and purtified already so no YAWN. ‘Tis <snerk> 69! <snerk> Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 85 with rain this afternoon. We shall see. Then again, I am tourin’ the way south forty today so that should be enough to up the chances of rain. 
We’re goin’ to get a bizkit at MickeyD’s this mornin’ gourmets that we are. This particular Mickey D’s is convenient to OYKW’s irkplace and right at the expressway so’s I can jump on and head south.
Ok, that’s all I got for now. I hear rumblin’s from the bedroom which tells me OYKW is all purtified so we shall be on our way shortly.
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
A lawyer is the larval form of a politician, so there you go.
Happy Hump Day!
Looks like it may rain today.
I don’t know what I am doing today, but there are things to be done. It’s all a matter of picking which to do first.
Howdy from large and in charge and somewhat gloomy Cairo, Jawja, pronounced Kay-ro! I await my first appointment at eight-thirty. I shall spend the mornin’ here and the afternoon in Thomasville, Jawja. Envy me!
At work 0550 local (yes, I really do get up that early…albeit I have no idea why…guess old habits die hard).
On my last set of clean U’wear and also have a pile of shirts in the basket, so it’s LAUNDRY NIGHT when I get home. Probably will take my work shirts to the Dry Cleaners this weekend (that is the one ‘luxury’ I grant myself–I’ll wash everything else but the work shirts and pants hit the cleaners.
Mac-n-Cheese tonight–guess I should have learned to cook when I was young.
buh, l’, urf.
