I just found out I'm losing the biggest fringe benefit my job offers: my boss is an old friend of mine and my best friend's wife. It was so easy to get time off, knock off early when I needed/wanted, and the work environment was great. She put in her notice today so she's out at the end of...

What kind of job do you have? The fact that you being available 24 hours a day during the week implies that your job relies heavily on round-the-clock availability. In that case, I can't really fault your employer for factoring your availability so heavily into your employability. The fact...

eHarmony is really good if you're looking for serious dating/relationships. It's shitty if you're just looking for friendship/casual stuff because it has lots of initial hoops to jump through before you can really start communicating with someone. Plenty of Fish or OKCupid are probably ideal...

Movie critics are worthless. This is common knowledge.

Shut your whore mouth! Rankin & Bass Smaug was awesome and that's how he should be portrayed here.

Dragon looks stupid (at least, his head does). He looks eerily similar to Godzilla from that awful Matthew Broderick movie.

It's always baffled me how Pete is good at accounts. Unlike Roger, who is often shown as having the ability to be a smooth talker with clients, Pete is pretty rarely shown being competent.

I'm confused; was Tywin a merman or not?

If I'm unsure of how to pronounce something at an ethnic place I just sound that shit out like any true American would. I'm no damn, dirty ape who points at his food.

Tebow's there just in case the Patriots have to face the Giants again, since Eli is Tom Brady kryptonite.

I think this applies to pretty much any "productive" work. I do a lot of writing in my job and while I do lots of reading during revisions/editing, I almost never end up reading the finished, published product. I've found that if I read the finished product I have a tendency to second guess...

Awesome, thanks for the suggestion of Race Pace. I'd never heard of them before but I just spent some time looking over their site and it looks like they have some good prices on quality bikes. Great locations as well. I think what I'll do is buy a cheapo bike now and if I find myself still...

The way I understand it is that A-1 means he's eligible for the draft; i.e he's on the list now to go and serve. He technically could have avoided it because he was in school, but as an act of protest (against his parents?) he filled out his card and sent it in anyway, resulting in him being...

Sadly my old bike is so rusted I can't even read what's written on it anymore, so I have no idea what brand it is. My brother bought it used from a coworker about 10 years ago, and I got it from him about 5 years ago and rode it for a couple years before going abroad. Everything on it is...

Any recommendations for a cheap mountain bike ($200 or less)? I mostly want to do some light trail riding on the weekends. For people around Maryland, I'll be riding in places like Great Falls, Patapsco State Park, etc. I had a pretty good one that I stupidly let sit out unprotected for the...

Lame ending to the season. At the very least, the final scene should have been Bran et al walking through the tunnel instead of that stupid Dany scene we got. Looking back, the biggest let down of season 3 was that we didn't get no Missandei titties. For shame, HBO, for shame.

Legos are awesome but nowadays they're all specialized pieces. You're basically buying build-them-yourself action figures. I miss the days when lego sets were basically just simple blocks and you used your creativity.

I seriously doubt there is any trans fat in a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich.

request denied.

The senate guy's hat looks stupid as hell.

I'm pretty sure most people outside of India know about the caste system. Anyway, everything you described isn't really racist, it's classist, or maybe colorist. Indians hate everyone and everything.

I agree. I can understand eating McDonalds back in the day because it was one of the only places to get fast food. Nowadays, though, I can't understand why anyone eats there. The food tastes...off, like you mentioned, the prices aren't really much better than anywhere else, and there are far...

I wanted to watch this show when it first came on but I didn't have the time. I finally got around to sitting down and watching it and I ended up doing a marathon of it over 2 days. Awesome show over all and apparently really underrated because no one I know has seen or even heard of it. If you...

I forgot "Is the only picture of Emma Watson that makes her look hot" as well.

I don't give a shit about the fat girl thread, but while we're changing thread names how about we fix that affront to the English language that is "a womens place is in......"?

I couldn't be happier so far. I'm really enjoying trying the different blades in the 16-pack that I got. I also really like the soap that came with the pack; it's got a nice, subtle scent to it that is pleasant while shaving but dissipates pretty quickly so you're not stuck with it all morning...

I wouldn't classify Indians (dot) as racist, but more just hateful in general. I work in the IT field so I'm surrounded by the curry-snorting bastards and I've never seen them actively nor passively do anything I'd consider racist. They are horrible, hateful human beings in general, however.

Nah, too much brown.

I think some people have much stronger stomachs/digestive tracks than others. As far as I know, I've never had food poisoning and I eat out a lot and I've eaten some incredibly shady shit in some incredibly shady places in some incredibly shady countries.

No, but if it's night and you shoot her in the neck you're good to go!

It would be pretty retarded if Netflix had anything to do with that. They need all the publicity for this they can get; who the fuck cares if someone recuts a show? Fucking entertainment industry!

The kind of weapons you could mount on a mammoth would be pretty limited. How much recoil could a mammoth stand? Either the force of the recoil would knock the mounted weapon off the mammoth or it would shatter/break the mammoths spine or other bones (depending on where it was mounted). I think...

I'd say Russians are more xenophobic than racist. They hate/fear everyone different from them, not just people of a different skin color.

Whatever. Bob Benson's gonna kill 'em all.

I don't know and I don't give a shit. I've read the books and I hang out in the spoiler thread with the cool kids where we discuss whatever the fuck we want. To be safe a fourth thread should be made along the lines of "Game of Thrones no spoilers NO PUSSY SHIT only interviews not talking about...

I don't really think it would happen, but I certainly wouldn't consider it jumping the shark to have a character murdered off screen. I could easily see Don arriving home to a house full of police who break the news that Megan was shot/stabbed/whatever on her way home from work or something.

Clearly a third thread needs to be spawned for retarded non-readers along the lines of "Game of Thrones no spoilers NO PUSSY SHIT except for discussion of future casting and interviews!!!"

Yes, "not enough bandwidth" means "I'm too busy". The whole thing that prompted my little rant earlier was being on a conference call and hearing two of the higher ups use these phrases. Something like: Fucktard A: "Can you take care of that assignment?" Fucktard B: "No, I don't have enough...

And then you remember that you're reading A Song of Ice and Fire where it's been pretty firmly established that things you don't expect to happen quite often do. I wouldn't be surprised to see Little Finger be very successful, and I also wouldn't be surprised if his downfall (assuming he has...

Yeah. I don't think they'd have a character hang himself in his office, blocking the door and causing coworkers to force their way in and pull his corpse down either, that's also pretty morbid. Oh, wait...
