Jury Duty is an all around, sobering, jimmie-rustling dumpster fire. Last time I was summoned, I sat in an unairconditioned room with about 30 other "diverse" peoples. There was a tube TV with a wire hanger as an antenna playing the local news. The story was on some dinosaur fossils that were...

On my jimmies run again today-- at the bank because the ATM is dispensing 2 $50 bills for a $100 withdrawal. I have no use for that denomination. So I get online to swap it for usable currency. In front of me is the parent of the High School Football Team something-or-other. She has $2,718.57 to...

Kind of- 3% of all of the work force salaries go into an FMLA fund. So, in fact, we are paying MORE for his FMLA than his FMLA... It's Communism.

Wow-- I never heard of this show until I read about here looking for something new. Man this show is like crack cocaine addictive... It is so bad that it's good. I really can't tell whether Emma Ishta is a great actress playing "rain woman" or whether she is just all around flat. I swear this...

A lot of shit rustling me this month it seems. Can't fucking fire an Iranian coder who can't code and is on FMLA for the next 3 months?!? Then, one of my accounts, that is run regionally by a completely incompetent "diverse" CEO is finally sidelined after he lost his organization over one...

I think this episode just was... I'm so glad that the poor, miserable, wretches living within the city's wall have cirque du Soliel every night as well as cool barbecue and full blown orgies. Must really suck to be the king! I hate the way all of GoT just shoves non-nonsensical porn into the...

Simple question on the decks: mare screen sizes too small for most steam games? I’m find the switch handheld best for only a few games and prefer when it is used as a console most of the time and used with an hd monitor or gaming monitor. but I suppose you could do the same with the decks…

The more people I talk to about this, the more I am told that it is a common occurrence at Walmart too...

I listened to three of the Jack Reacher novels; Killing Floor, Die Trying and Tripwire. Of the three, I think Killing Floor was probably the best narrated and written/constructed, but I enjoyed Tripwire the most. But, after finishing listening to Tripwire, I feel I never have to read or listen...

Although it makes perfect sense; it bugs the crap out of me when there are three bottles of shitty salad dressing left in the fridge (because all the good ones were consumed and no one is buying any more because there are still three left in the fridge).

I have not been to India. But one of my employees was traveling through Mumbai and was probably dosed with something while eating from a food vendor (probably scopolamine). He was found by a Hindu family and they took care of him until he was back to being himself. He lost a few bucks from his...

I am seriously rustled over that fuckwad... So, of course, I am telling a bunch of people. The last person I told said to me that she was in a grocery store yesterday behind a woman with 2 bags of groceries who was trying to pay with a debit card. The machine kept beeping that there were...

She is someone of importance to me and it’s what she wanted….

I written about Costco before; because where I live probably 150 Arabs all use 1 card and nothing can (or is) being done about it. But, I have been a long term stockholder and I love it's dividend and return. But after today, I am thinking about selling it. Here's why: I am fortunate enough to...

One of my pet leaves; having “read” it— it’s not a novel or even a collective of stories. It is a collection of interconnected tales structured like a pre-modern “bible.” It requires work to read it and decipher the interconnected individual narratives and their relationships. It seriously is...

You've taken the merciful shortcut to embarrassing and disappointing your parents. They're thanking you for not going to college just to drop out and play Evanescence all day long smoking black and milds and dropping E and maybe pretending you have either a penis or a vagina.

Episode #3 was tolerable. Too many storylines for me to see where they are going. And yes, they are compressing time (it seems) a lot. But what's the alternative? Take 10 years to tell a portion of the story? I wish they would improve the dialogue. The cinematography and the music are good. I...

I get it-- and, it is very likely that I will join the hate squad at some time. I am just likely too anesthetized by a generation or two of significantly low standards of entertainment and writing... And I wasn't really comparing Trek to Tolkien as art. Tolkien took 17 years to construct...

oh wait, isn't this Africa? Or this? Damn... Maybe I have to reconsider Africa.

I am still ambivalent and hopeful. I loved the Fellowship of the Ring. Loved it. I do qualify as a Tolkien nerd. Each successive movie seemed to become more of a chore. Yes, the battle scenes in Return of the King were pretty extraordinary, but, like the movie series, a little too much and a...

I will never comprehend that people think there is a "dog vs cat controversy..." It's like debating apples vs cherries when they are both fruits and you can eat them both. I have lived with three dogs (who all died of old age) and seven cats (5 of which died of old age), the other two go on...

Holy shit is this show captivating. Yeah, not what I thought I would find myself watching or enjoying. But it is intense, has unique, well-developed characters portrayed by some impressive young actors and the dialogue is sumptuous. Think Lord of the Flies with only X chromosomes. Only half...

Where is this?

The Hitler painting episode. Peaks right there.

That's like every old person in my neighborhood every day...

She definitely got larger and got implants since her Lambo pics... But I swear that was like 5 or 6 years ago... In her prime:

They totally blur out the porn stuff in the background! Did they blur out or edit the tons of gore too?

I stand corrected- there were blacks in Middle Earth. And for some fun side reading: Dear Tolkien Fans: Black People Exist - The Public Medievalist

This episode was more tolerable. They ditched any original opening score for certain now and are sticking with full GoT style opening. At least it had a story that could be followed. I still don't quite get all the porno tapestries in the background. They trying to make certain that no main...

Someone is going to have to explain what happens to all the black harfoots and elves and dwarves between the second and third age? Maybe this?

No. It would be racist to have it be pointing at the bank teller.

Because it's too easy to find sexy elves...

I'm okay with dwarves (and dwarf women) being black. They're like coal-miners and they don't like to shower: It would be seen as racist to have them in blackface, right?

Yup-- you will have to. I still am kind of disgusted with myself that I love escargot. But damn it, I tried it:

I recommend all of the Dresden Files audio books. James Marsters is a very good narrator. They are great listening for runs and cycle rides and long drives. Very entertaining candy for the brain. All of them are good. Some of them are very good.

Yup- and guess what? He dies. Just like in all his films (including Fellowship of the Ring)!
