That song used to make me cry when I was little :P

Boss: "I'm not feeling very well, I'm going to leave a little early today."
Me: "Hope you get to feeling better."

That was about 11am.

Around 1pm someone overheard him talking to his wife on the phone...

Boss: "I'm leaving early today, why don't I pick you up and we'll go out and eat."

He quietly walked out the back door at about 1:45pm

Oh, I loved that song when it came out. It's really not bad, just sappier than perhaps I like now.

young undergrad in the bathroom at WSU, talking to her pal: "Remember that song....Danke Schoen? How'd that go....(sings) Danke Schoen, Darlin'....Danke Schoen...oooo, I'm killing it! If Wayne Newman could hear me, he'd be sick!"


I got a good chuckle outta that one.

I had to google it

Amusing me today is that I bought Roger's Profanisaurus for my nephew. Well, it was £2.99 on eBay, he's 12 and finds bums and farts and poos funny, and he's been having such a hard time of it recently. The only positive thing is he's young enough to cry, so at least he's letting it out.

For those not familiar with this weighty tome of English literature, here is a sample online.

mud wrestling n. A long and messy battle on the toilet, involving much grunting and groaning, which usually ends in either a fall or a submission.
traffic calming measure n. A turd in the road that could take your exhaust off.
manflaps n. The tiny flaps surrounding the Jap's eye, usually only visible when taking a much needed high pressure piss. The hog's eyelids.
Ingrid rhym. slang. An act of anal excretion. Named after the luscious 'tits out' 'Hammer Horror' actress Ingrid Pitt.

Hmmmm. Might have to hold it back for another year...!

This story, from 365 Tomorrows:

You Either Love It Or You Hate It
January 21st, 2010
Author : Phill English


‘Gaeriy, I’ve got some bad news.’

‘What’s that Broux?’

‘Well, I’ve finished the calculations and it turns out that in order for us to co-habit this planet, we’re going to have to wipe out half of them.’

‘Oh, wow, that’s a bit of a bummer isn’t it? Don’t you think that we could just, y’know, “accidentally” wipe them all this time?’

‘Don’t be ridiculous, it’s against the preservation laws to extinguish any more life than–’

‘–is absolutely necessary to begin co-habitation. Yes, I know. In that case, how do you plan to split them up?’

‘That’s what I’ve been trying to figure out. At first I thought gender, but then I remembered the trouble Mihrv had with Grabble-4.’

‘Yes, I can’t believe he managed to choose the one gender that was essential to reproduction. Out of fifty three! Got to feel for the poor guy, the preservationists weren’t happy.’

‘Exactly. As such, we need something completely arbitrary and inconsequential so those guys don’t drop a sanction on our planet fall.’

‘Okay, how about a physical feature? Ocular pigmentation?’

‘No, I’ve done some research on the matter and it appears there’s no clear divide on the pigmentation spectrum. The majority of their body features are similarly unsuitable due to mutations throughout their evolution.’

‘Oh. How inconvenient. Actually, have we mapped their neural networks yet?’

‘Yes, quite extensively. There weren’t a lot of variables to take into the equation to be honest.’

‘Right, so that would include their preferences for material possessions? Their ‘taste’ in products?’

‘That’s correct, I think I can see where you’re going with this line of questioning.’

‘Yes, I’ve definitely got it now. We can’t go forward on this for a decade or so of their time, right?’

‘Indeed. The paperwork has to be couriered to Splunk-1 and back, otherwise we’d be down there already.’

‘So in the meantime we’re stuck here twiddling our thumbs and taking in the myriad boring lives of the inhabitants. I reckon we can kill two bwarks with one thuk here. Say we create a product especially engineered to divide a particular cultural population in half. We beam it down into the heads of an ambitious entrepreneur and let the magic happen. When an inhabitant expresses their preference for or against the product, we record it. It’ll occupy our time until we’ve got the paperwork done, and once it arrives we’ll have essentially had them make the decision for us. Best of all, I’m pretty sure there’ll be no red tape to wade through with the ethics committee!’

‘Sounds good to me. Just one thing, which group would get vaporised?’

‘Oh I don’t know, let’s just say that those who enjoy the products are safe.’

‘And you don’t think they would be annoyed at what they might perceive as being a pretty random way of splitting a population in half?’

‘No, of course not. If they are we’ll just ask them if they could have thought of a better way. That’ll shut them up.’

‘I love it. We can get started straight away. Let’s start with this tiny island mass here. What do you think they’d go for?’

Brian pulled the shopping trolley over in the condiments aisle. His girlfriend stopped a little bit ahead of him, the shopping list in her hand raised in query.

‘I’m just getting something for my toast.’

‘That stuff? Yuck! How can you possibly stomach it?’

‘I don’t know. For some reason I’ve just always liked it.’

With a shrug, he placed the jar of Marmite into the trolley and pushed on.

Taking care of a pre-( not so bad yet ) Alzheimers parent can make you feel as if its catching.

I'm searching for threads about 'firewalls' and I see more than two ancient threads from non contributing members people dislike.A LOT



...so where are the conversations about firewalls. lol


Firewalls
I find it slightly amusing that after purchasing a firewall you have to pay to upgrade in a year. THE PIRATES!

Just got an email from the school principal about the survey they sent out a few weeks ago about how much volunteering families do in the school. Apparently they can't get any families who don't do any volunteering at all to spend the time to fill in the survey

As part of my job I have to verify the city/state a store is in. I just had to ask a store manager if he was in "Cumming, GA"
Yeah, spelled like that.
I just barely got it said without laughing, it was really hard though.

[Undertoad]

You should have asked "Are you in the middle of Cumming?" and when he said "Yes" you should have said "Well I'll wait for you to finish"
