It would be worse if these people knew what the hell they were doing, but this corporation figures that they don't have to pay as much money for people who don't know what the hell they're doing, so they hire on that basis. 75% of the people I deal with in here shouldn't be allowed to watch grass grow. The redo rate in here is phenominal... and the company's sales are at a record high...
There's no justice....
... and it's time for me to fade... see ya' on the flip flop... and, no, I don't mean Kerry's voting record....

Ha! When you compare the lifespans of pirates to the lifespans of parrots, I think we have birds who've developed quite the taste for long pig.Q_ wrote:After a pirate's parrot dies, what does he do with it?
He BAAAAAAAAAAAARGH-B-Cues it.

a little kid with a speech impediment dresses up as a pirate and goes trick or treating. he knocks on the door of a house and a man answers. "oh, i can see you're dressed up as a pirate." the man says. "but where are your buccaneers?" the kid gets really mad, and says "on the sides of my buckin' head!"

A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!"
"What do you mean?" the pirate replies, "I'm fine."
The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really."
"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really."
"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."
"Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye."
"So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird shit!"
"Well," says the pirate, "I really wasn't used to the hook yet."

It is time for me to go out and get in line on the freeway. Before I go I thought I might share this little gem with you I found on the Internet.
You can believe this or ignore it... just don't jump all over me for it, because I'm only the messenger.
OK, so I was just down in the donut shop on 3rd Ave here in Seattle, which as you might know, is just a couple blocks away from the glitzy revamped Nordstrom that is opening today. Why is that important? Just keep reading.
So I get my chocolate bar and start to leave when I notice this guy sitting alone at one of the rickety tables. Or should I say he noticed my Burning Man t-shirt. I dunno. However it happened, I soon found myself sitting with him, listening as he told me a very chilling story.
Turns out this guy has a brother who works in an unnamed government department somewhere back east. Naturally, he has a lot of contacts and here's quite a bit about what's going on all over the world. Turns out, a very secretive government organization has been keeping close tabs on BManOrg practically since day one. They have countless files, hours and hours of surveillance tapes, and several moles within the BMan community who report back on all activities. So far, everything has been quiet, but this guy told me that, "this year, the shit is really coming down."
Damn, I'm getting all shaky just typing this. But I'll try to continue. Think about what's going on here: The BManOrg is luring thousands and thousands of people out into one of the most desolate regions of the country for a full week. Meanwhile, through mailing lists and ticket sales they have gathered considerable information about all of us: who we are, where we live, exact addresses, etc. It's really quite staggering.
So anyway, while we're all out there, completely oblivious to what's happening in the real world, the BManOrg is going to put their main plan into action -- a plan they have been rehearsing for years, and only now are they strong enough to actually make it happen.
On Saturday, the day of the burn, the day of highest attendance, the day we are all the most distracted, thousands of BManOrg operatives are going to fan out across the country. They are going to go to your city, to your house. You won't be there to stop them! You'll be dancing in the middle of a dry, hot desert with no way to contact or be contacted by anyone.
And with full access to your house, they will go inside.
They will go to your bedroom. And there, they will... they will... riffle through your underwear drawer. They will place your briefs and panties upon their heads, and they will dance.
Perhaps this guy in the donut shop was a loony. But is it really worth taking the chance? You can live in denial if you want to, but me, I'm bringing all my underwear to the playa with me!!
