I know we have had the worst Christmas movie ever discussion before, and I'm not looking to open it back up, but the other night I saw the absolute worst animated hour of television in any genre. Apparently the heirs of Charles Schultz are content raping the corspe of his legacy by releasing movies after his death that make it look like he went senile in his old age.
Pre-empting Kevin's lack of BOTD postings, I'm throwing down the gauntlet:
This would be the mythical bacon cake, a cornbread cake with bacon bits, maple-based frosting, and of course the garnish on top. Beat that, faux-angryman.
Anyone else get "the talk" at work over the past few days? Not the birds and the bees of course, but the "Times are tough and you should feel indebted that we let you keep your jobs" talk. I got that Monday and it looks like an earthquake ran through my office. Many are scared for their jobs, but I for one am looking forward to my future career in the world of dirt farming with the rest of the plebs. Beats my nice cushy IT job and LL every morning before everyone shows up, right?

AHAHAHAH Finally mother fuckers!
(Note: I’m actually sick and posting this from home today before I go back to bed for a few)
So it turns out a snowstorm was actually what LL needed to get busy again, huh?

Stupid snow.
Left my car at work yesterday since it’s crazy to drive in it and took the bus back. Now I’m up an hour earlier this morning to take the bus in. And probably back tonight. And then to work on Monday at the least.
To keep this from turning into an LLLJ thing, let’s open it up: If you’re still going to work, why? I don’t have enough PTO yet to take off all these days, but there’s got to be other reasons people are still trudging into work.
the other angels fan
I'll be heading in shortly.
I have some deals to close and some quotes to do. Proofs need to be delivered. Usual BS.
If I don’t put in at least 5 hours today I will pay a steep price later.
I'm at work because it's only half a mile away from the apt.

Without going in to too many pithy details
Let’s just say that I don’t like the kneejerk reaction by ownership to the current state of the economy. It’s not the salespeople’s fault that sales are down, and now it is more important than ever to invest in web advertising since more people are doing online research before ever setting foot on a lot. However, the owners have instead chosen to abandon all online lead sourcing. Since this directly effects me and my job title, I’ve chosen to leave

Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I once quit a job while getting lectured for skipping work
To attend the one game playoff in 1995. My boss asked me if baseball was more important than my job and I relied, “Yes.”
He said I needed to get my priorities straight and I informed him that it was a high priority for me to go find a new job and I walked out.
Awesome.
I have a feeling I’ll be getting the same lecture today, since I haven’t been there since Monday. Combine the terrible weather with apathy and you get me skipping 3 (nearly 4) days of work.

The great thing about quitting though
is that you don’t have to listen to that lecture. Or if they somehow try to deliver the lecture before giving you your paycheck, you can just sort of give them the thousand-yard stare and think about anything else while their mouths are moving.

I'm actually thinking of actively listening while being given that lecture,
and reaffirming my commitment to the store. Then, as soon as the paycheck is handed over I’ll get the fuck out

Unfortunately, I think they do know
Independently of what I’m doing on my end, I have found out that my manager (who is basically the only reason I work there in the first place) has quit for reason similar to my complaints above. So, it’s pretty much assumed that I’ll be quitting anyway, though I told them I was still on as of yesterday. Then my dad called me…

on the way into the office, borrow a car off your current lot,
and start smashing parked cars. Drum up some business for yourself.

This might be a good idea.
The insurance for the store pays for people test driving cars, right? So get a friend to go in there and wreck a test drive car into another couple cars.

I guess it's better that I didn't stay up until midnight getting tanked and looking at John Carlson's ass
but in that spirit, I will share with you a drink my friends nicknamed after me, after I invented it out of boredom and alcoholism at school last year… I present…
“The Aron”
Highball glass
Rocks
2-3 shots of Absolut New Orleans (I’m not entirely sure this exists anymore) – mango/black pepper vodka
1.5 shots guava juice
top with San Pele Arranciata.
Before you get off calling me a girl, understand this packs only slightly less punch than an LIT, and my drink of choice is usually neat whiskey or whiskey/rum cokes.
I just happened to have all 3 ingredients, some females present, and a heavy buzz on.
Enjoy
I'm signing Yuni and Silva up for The Biggest Loser.
It is simultaneously delicious and heavy
If you use orange soda or something it would be too sweet, the arranciata (or european orange fanta if you can find it) is tart enough to play
I'm signing Yuni and Silva up for The Biggest Loser.
Also, since I was unable to find Absolut New Orleans last time I was attempting to make these after the MCATs this summer,
I tried Absolut Peppar. Huge mistake. It’s not black pepper, but peppers as in pepper jack cheese. Disgusting, vile stuff.

We went on a drunken whim
after many beers, we went to the Showbox and found out it was $20, and the conversation went something like this:
Me: No.
Friend: C’mon, it’ll be fun.
Me: Define “fun”.
Friend: Well, it’s Tommy Lee, you know.
Me: GO OOOOOOONNNNNN
Friend: And they’ve only got one album.
Me: So?
Friend: So they may end up playing a Motley Crue cover or two to pad out the set.
Me: SOLD.
Drunken logic is a bad motivator. They did not, in fact, play a Motley Crue cover; they played the whole MoM record in its entirety. There were two good things about the show: It was over in 45 minutes, turning us loose on the streets at 10pm for more drinking, and it set a new bar for me – now, anything under $20 that is a dubious spend makes me think “I’ve done dumber things with $20 in the past”.

Not sure where this goes but holy shitballs
“I look at Corcoran, and opposing hitters averaged .283 against him,” Wakamatsu said. "But he had a four-to-one ratio of ground balls (to fly balls). Did they find every hole?
“The fact is that we have to catch more ground balls. I want to bring these kinds of statistics to the coaches and players. It’s a way to get better. Maybe it just means we need to shade the middle more, or maybe we need to focus more on what specific hitters do against each of our specific pitchers.”
I don't know how to process this sort of forward thinking.

I read this as a statement against our defensive abilities.
Sounded to me like he understands that groundballs are a good thing, he just can’t believe they ‘found every hole’. Like Yuni’s fucking immobility. So maybe he’s talking down his defense up the middle here, not the pitching.
Formerly dpseadvr.
That too.
But I also take it as not just looking at the numbers that someone like Bavasi would look at (OBA? How useful!) and dismiss Corcoran as a terrible pitcher. That there’s value in that type of pitcher instead of spending multiple millions on bullpen help.
Yup, I'm with you here (not familiar with OBA, but I get your meaning).
One of the things that worried me most about Zduriencik coming in here was that he might favor offensive prowess over the value of defense. Sluggers over defenders. So it’s nice to be wrong. I’m not saying that he is bullish on defense to the detriment of offense- upgrading this team defensively (at least in the outfield) wasn’t too difficult.
Personally I just think he understands how to build a team to fit a park. Just a hunch or a gut feeling, it’s pretty early to be saying that, and he’s never been a GM anywhere else like that stadium Texas plays in.
Formerly dpseadvr.
Just opposing batting average.

We underbid the asking price when buying our house, a couple people were pretty rude about that.
One called us vultures. So you can flip homes on a sellers market for a profit, but I want to profit on a buyers market and I’m the bad guy.
Formerly dpseadvr.
It's not rude, it's good capitalism
the seller is free to decline your offer, after all. If they take it they have nothing to complain about.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
But there's a sense of entitlement and ignorance of how the market works with a lot of people.
I work with a woman who is trying to sell right now and is just incredulous at all the low offers. Well, your house isn’t worth what you paid for it. Deal with it or wait to sell later. The market is the market. You can’t set what’s “fair.”
Exactly.
A seller’s perception of “fair” isn’t my concern when I’m buying.

whiners
We hired a bulldog as our agent. I would recommend her to anyone. We shaved thousands off the asking price because she absolutely ran circles around their rep.
Same here. Our second agent actually.
The first balked at taking a low bid to the seller (a year ago nobody was talking about a slow market in Seattle, quite the opposite), so we switched.
I’ve kept track of the houses that turned us down. The price of one is now less than we offered, another is in pre-foreclosure, another is short sale. Just about the same thing. I feel bad for those people, at the same time it’s not my problem
Formerly dpseadvr.
Making large purchases like that are scary to most.
I think tons of people get caught up in the whole “I have to have this house!” thing. Because of that they do not negotiate well.
Good point, I actually felt bad about the first couple bids we made.
We bid on houses we knew we could walk away from just to get a feel for it. Like ‘buck fever’ or that type of reaction. Amazing to me how signing for that much money can give you a rush as big as anything I’ve ever done.

Depends on how one defines "a lot," but $60,000 is definitely enough to get by on.
(Assuming you don’t have massive amounts of debt because you bought a yacht your first year out of college or something.)
For a household,
but I’d bet the average individual here doesn’t make that much per year.
Man do I love midgets.
The average individual here is either still in or just out of college so you're probably right
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
That's somewhere in the neighborhood of $28 or $29 and hour.
If I’m figuring that corrrectly in my head. That’s more than most people I know make, and we’ve all been out of college or in the job market for many years.
My household clears that, but not either of us individually.

Because a barricade that can stop a big ol' bus like that as it plunges down a hill

But where a vehicle could plunge onto an interstate,
you’d think they’d want to make sure, especially if that is a known bus route.

I'm not sure it is though
It’s not a Metro route, anyway; those buses were only there because Denny was closed, according to the article. That stretch of Thomas is pretty dang steep, and in the snow there’s no way a bus should be trying that.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Wait, Denny is closed due to being covered in ice/packed snow.
So the alternate route is down a non-arterial residential street that empties into the freeway. Through jersey barriers. Covered in the same ice/snow. Wow, I love the thought process that goes into this decision.

My building’s still open and in spite of the fact that we’re likely to get another 6-18 inches of snow, and 50 MPH winds, it’ll likely be open on Monday, too.

About that talk...
Yeah, we got the e-mail from the governor yesterday about the state employees not getting their COLAs (Cost of Living Adjustments — i.e. pay raises to keep up with the cost of inflation), and a couple of follow-up e-mails from the union (to our home e-mails, of course) with their typical union blather. We also had a discussion of this at the Director’s broadcast, reassuring us that the cuts in my agency (in terms of positions lost) will be minimal. That’s only because most of our budget doesn’t come out of the general fund, and while our “pot” certainly is smaller as well, we’ve got it managed a lot better.
I’m actually 100% fine with not getting my COLA. We’re so far behind the COL, after having not received COLAs for several years (up until we received them over the last biennium — along with MANDATORY closed shop-ness and the massive union dues therewith). It was only going to be 1.5% anyway, which with the other things that were also attached to it really only comes out to about $10 a paycheck. I’ll be safe not getting that extra $20/month, and would rather the $$$ go to jobs, social services, or other places besides the union where most of it was going anyway.
I mean it’s not like the union was going to leverage that extra income on GETTING AGENCIES TO REWRITE THEIR DAMNED INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICIES SO THAT THEIR EMPLOYEES’ SAFETY IS CONSIDERED anyway, so…

Y'know, that reminds me of something. Johnbai is a gay peeping window washer.
(seriously, I can’t even pretend to keep this up – my sick son kept me up all night, but I’ll stick around to see what that bastard says).
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Oh, and Robert rudely sucks the dried remnants off of restaurant mustard dispensers.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Because he's a cheap male prostitute.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.

You drowned a fluffy puppy in egg drop soup?

Minutes later, I can only imagine I'm going to get in trouble for this.

Because Robert likes to fuck camels in the mouth and say, "smoke this, you bitch."

But you're twice the retard. Doesn't that count for something?
Reminds me. You and me need to eat some finger paint soon.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
It would count for something if I knew how to count, but I'm a tard
And the purple paint tastes the best, so I got dibs on that. I will now have weekends off, so we’ll hook it up soon

I like yellow. I'm going to be gone until mid January. Then? Look out world.
Death metal genocide!!!!
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Why kill off all the death metal?
I heard January is cold around here, so I don’t think planning a trip that will bring you back around that time is wise

You can't kill the metal. The metal will live on.

Death metal will rule this world some day, silly.

Fuck you all. Fuck this, "I'm upset because my name is Kevin and I want to blog about it" Shit.
Let’s summarize real quick so I can go to bed…
Johnbai is an angry (then not angry) NAMBLA member. Robert likes to hump road cones. BrianL could fucking destroy your network, just let him. Royalcurve is my sweetest friend. Kermit is a muffdiver. Acblue sells porn. Toot is unemployed and ugly. Sec is a gorgeous dick. Jesus. What have I done coming here??
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Fuck you.
I posted a BOTD throwdown, asshole, and I don’t even get a nod?

Nod.
Faux has big fuckin’ feet, and an affinity for women that are awesome.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Going to bed. See y'all fuckers tomorrow.

This one seems relatively benign comparatively.

By "awesome," I mean actually female. Look into this, Taylor. It's easy to be duped.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
No. You think I'm a drunk??
I’m drinking wine AND beer.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
That's exactly what I'm doing
Put away a bottle of wine already and am on beer 2.

I love you.
I know you sell porn, and apparently acblue only rents it.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
He rents it to me and then I copy and re-sell it

Kermit and Sec came out of that pretty well, I'd say

True. You're handsome, butuse smell like used gymsocks that hit me in the head full of quarters.
And I’m pretty sure you’re Mormon.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Your head is full of quarters?
That would explain a lot

That would I explain why he was caught "practicing" with those weird guys
For when he has to choke down those rolls of quarters

Seriously, call me about next week.
You and Kermit and I should hang, if Anna’s feeling OK.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
You'll hear from me for sure
We’ll set something up

Oh. I should mention here that Robert (as much as I love him), could suck the chrome off of a ball hitch.
Good night, I’ll be here all week, people!
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
I thought that was the only reason that you love him

VH1 is running the "top 40 videos of 2008"

So we're finally getting a big old snowstorm
and I have to drive to the airport in an hour. Whee!
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
SERIOUSLY. Safe travels, dude.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Fortunately it's pretty flat
but I plan on driving like my grandmother all the way there. Which means a 20 min drive will probably take me 40.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
So leave now maybe?
Better safe than sorry, especially if the real snow hasn’t hit yet. Give you a chance to scope out the trouble spots out there

Probably not such a bad idea
and it would mean that I could get to the airport and enjoy an adult beverage, which I have not done all goddamn night. Stupid having-to-drive-in-the-snow.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Yes, this is a good idea. And fuck the security lines.
Maybe that’s just me and my fake hip, but they do slow you down.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
right, that's me off then
if you don’t hear from me by tomorrow afternoon, send Corco to patrol the ditches. I’ll tape $20 to my forehead.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
made it back alive
the snow stopped abot 5 min after I left and now it’s back with a vengeance, but I have a fridge full of alcohol and meat and my wife’s home so I don’t care.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Time to watch a movie and drink a bunch more
Enjoy your evening and weekend everybody. Stay out of the weather if you can
