Helping out the neighbors

My wife, Edy, and I were sitting on the couch and our chocolate Lab, Vicky, started licking herself the way dogs do.

Edy yelled, "Vicky, Stop that ! If you're going to do that, do it somewhere else ! "

Vicky looked up quite defiantly, and I thought I heard her say under her breath:
"If you think you can do it better, come over hear and do it yourself ! "

Best abstract ever:

Kotzee, Ben (2007) Our Vision and our Mission: Bullshit, Assertion and Belief. S. Afr. J. Philos. Vol 26 No 2 pp 163-175.


Abstract

“Bullshit”, as Harry Frankfurt writes in his recent book, On Bullshit, is a communication that pretends to be genuinely informative, but really is not. The person who talks bullshit, Frankfurt holds, is unconcerned with whether what he says is true, but is very concerned with how he is thought of by the listener. In this paper, I discuss Frankfurt's theory of bullshit, making specific reference to the requirement for deceptive intent on the part of the bullshitter, and to whether bullshitting must involve conscious dishonesty. Some choice examples of bullshit are nosed and the question of whether Frankfurt really has it in for postmodernism is addressed.
Vouched for as genuine by yours truly. Frankfurt (2005) On Bullshit is a real book and is in my uni library.

I get an average of 50-60 phone calls and roughly 100 emails a day. I'm very good at responding and organizing (I apologize if I sound like a braggart - that's not my intention). Anyway, yesterday afternoon I busied out both my incoming lines - that was fun :D

...and my email. Ohhh... I was a bad boy. I forwarded it to my boss - all of it! :D:D ...and he's on vacation!!! :D:D:D For a week! Oops!

I'm going home pretty soon and I'm calling in sick tomorrow.

Sometimes rebellion has a sweet flavor.

They won't fire me. Not that I'm indespensible - I'm not. I'm just too reliable.

Overheard in town today, two old wifies:
"You can't even tell what colour girls are these days, what with sunbeds and fake tans"

I think she meant you can't tell a girl's ethnic heritage.
Because after all you CAN tell what colour she is. You just have to look.

I also have a three minute video of his monologue as he narrates his adventures, but it's somewhat shaky as I was lmao silently so he wouldn't notice me videoing :D

They need to hurry up the development of a reliable Android screenshot app; I've taken pictures of my phone with a friend's phone and then sent it to my own phone too many times, I'm always afraid I'm going to get sucked into a black hole.

Indeed. I looked up instructions, and it involves doing arcane things with the Android Software Development Kit--which I actually already had installed on my computer. But I didn't have time to deal with it.
