TO ALL EMPLOYEES:
It has been brought to the management's attention that some individuals have been using foul language in the course of normal conversation between employees. Due to complaints from some more easily offended workers, this conduct will no longer be tolerated.
The management does, however, realize the importance of each person being able to properly express their feelings when communicating with their fellow employees. Therefore the management has compiled the following code phrases, so that the proper exchange of ideas and information can continue unabated.
| Old Phrase | New Phrase |
|---|---|
| No f*cking way | I'm not certain that's feasible. |
| You've got to be sh*tting me | Really? |
| Tell someone who gives a f*ck | Perhaps you should check with ... |
| Ask me if I give a f*ck | Of course I'm concerned. |
| It's not my f*cking problem | I wasn't involved in that project. |
| What the f*ck? | That's interesting behavior. |
| F*ck it, it won't work | I'm not sure I can implement this. |
| Why the f*ck didn't you tell me that sooner? | I'll try to schedule that. |
| When the f*ck do you expect me to do this? | Perhaps I can work late. |
| Who the f*ck cares? | Are you sure it's a problem? |
| He's got his head up his a$$ | He's not familiar with that problem. |
| Eat sh*t | You don't say. |
| Eat sh*t and die | Excuse me? |
| Eat sh*t and die motherf*cker | Excuse me, sir? |
| What the f*ck do they want from me? | They weren't happy with it? |
| Kiss my a$$ | So you'd like help with it? |
| F*ck it. I'm on salary | I'm a bit overloaded at the moment. |
| Shove it up your a$$ | I don't think you understand. |
| This job sucks | I love a challenge. |
| Who the hell died and made you boss? | You want me to take care of this? |
| Blow me | I see. |
| Blow yourself | Do you see? |
| Another f*cking meeting | Yes, we should discuss this. |
| I really don't give a sh*t | I don't think it will be a problem. |
| F*ck you | How nice. |
| F*ck you sideways | How very nice. |
| He's a f*cking pr*ck. | He's somewhat insensitive. |
| She's a ball busting bitch. | She's an aggressive go getter. |
| You don't know what the f*ck you're doing. | I think you could use more training. |

Watch this space for my thoughts on body image, insomnia, and maybe immigration (if I feel like raising my blood pressure...)

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three events, two births and one death, including the year.
On November 10:
Events:
1766 - The last Colonial governor of New Jersey, William Franklin, signs the charter of Queen's College (later renamed Rutgers University).
1871 - Henry Morton Stanley locates missing explorer and missionary, Dr. David Livingstone in Ujiji, near Lake Tanganyika saying "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"
1938 - Kate Smith, on her weekly radio show, sings Irving Berlin's God Bless America for the first time.
Births:
1483 - Martin Luther, German protestant reformer (d. 1546)
1775 -The Continental Congress passes a resolution creating the Continental Marines (later renamed the United States Marine Corps) to serve as landing troops for the recently created Continental Navy.
Ok, that was technically not a birth, so how about my favorite movie helicopter pilot? (bonus points if you know the movie...)
1932 - Roy Scheider, American actor
Death:
1982 - Leonid Brezhnev, ruler of the Soviet Union (b. 1906)
seen everywhere, first here
Oh, and more bonus points if you know what the title of this post means

Dell was wrong. But they evidently made it good when Dana backed them into a corner. Between my own Dell horror story, and this one, don't ever by a freaking Dell. I won't do it again.
Congratulations, sister. You beat them down. And double-check the length of the warranty. If it's a completely new box you should have a new warranty...

| You scored as Natural Causes. Your death will be by natural causes, though not by any diseaese, because that is another option on this test. You will probably just silently pass away in the night from old age, and people you love won't realize until the next morning, when you are all purple and cold and icky. So be happy, you won't be murdered.

Your Lucky Underwear is Blue |
 You are caring and extroverted. You've made relationships your number one focus, and your lucky blue underwear can bring some balance to them. You thrive in one-on-one situations. You are a good listener and a natural born therapist.
Sometimes you let the concerns of others become too important in your life, leading to stress and worry.
If you want more balance, put on your blue underpants. They'll help you take care of yourself first. |

On the freeway this morning I drove by two unusual vehicles....
One of these:
Turns out it was a "studio vehicle," no doubt on its way to a shoot somewhere;
and the delivery van from this place, which was of course, featured on this show.

From this article:
"Sitting in the oncology ward at Children's National Medical Center on Jan. 19, retired Adm. Joe Sestak and his wife, Susan, awaited the doctors' verdict about the condition of their 5-year-old daughter, Alexandra.Jesus, you don't attack a man for where he chooses to treat his five year-old daughter's cancer! That is BEYOND the pale.She had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last summer and given three to nine months to live. The Sestaks lived for four months in the ward. They watched as their daughter survived three surgeries, and as she endured chemotherapy.
But that winter day, doctors told the Sestaks that Alexandra had done remarkably well and that, although the cancer could reemerge, she could resume living like a healthy girl.
Relieved and grateful, Sestak, who retired as a three-star admiral Jan. 1, after 31 years in the Navy, began thinking about what he wanted to do next.
...
"He's running because he has a personal ax to grind with the Navy leadership," [Rep. Curt] Weldon [(R), PA] said. "When you treat people like dirt, that's an issue."
Weldon [also] attacked Sestak's decision to continue owning a home in Virginia while only renting in Pennsylvania and questioned why Sestak did not move back to Pennsylvania when he was working at the Pentagon. Weldon commutes from Pennsylvania each day.
Weldon also suggested Sestak should have sent his daughter to a hospital in Philadelphia or Delaware, rather than the Washington hospital. Sestak said that as soon as doctors give his daughter the all-clear, he'll buy in Pennsylvania."[emphasis mine - Ed.]
No, I'm not going to link to Kos or Atrios, I don't need the trolls. You can find the links here.
The thing is, both sides do this and I am F***ING tired of it. There's no reason to deal these kind of low blows. Toot your own horn, explain why your opponent's policy platform is wrong, and let it go at that. That should give the voters plenty of reasons to make their decision.
Or maybe there's just nothing worthwhile to say. In which case, my mother taught me to shut up.

As for myself, we're Scots and Scots Irish in my maternal grandfather's line, and are evidently from Clan MacDuff, and this is the MacDuff hunting tartan
Here are this year's participants:
(Mmm, Haggis! denotes a new post!)
If it's not Scottish, it's crap!

Oh and WTF with President Weasel on last night's 24? Thoughts? Theories?
I feel sooooo sorry for Mrs. Logan. No wonder she's clinically depressed. What a Schmuck.

YOU ARE THE NILE
At 4145 miles from your furthest extremity to the Mediterranean Sea, you outdo the Amazon to become the world's longest river. The piranhas hate you.
Beneath you lies an underground river with six times your volume. You kept this remarkably quiet for several thousand years. In fact, you're full of mystery; your source wasn't discovered until 1862. You're also full of water. And crocodiles. And nuclear pharaoh machines that run on light and can see through time.
From the towering colossi at Rum and Monkey.

"Last night, I watched that house makeover show. I don't remember the name of it, but it's host is way too wired, or slightly insane. They go around destroying people's houses, and then remodelling, or rebuilding them. It was alright...What do you think?Anyway, during one of the commercial breaks, it looked as if they were going to rebuild a church, which got me thinking. How would they hide their project from Him... do they make some special bus? And, if Gott were to have a house built, what special appliances, or features, would he desire?"
What would you put in a house for the Lord? What would you leave out? What would God need in his own house?
