Happy Birthday, Preston Michael Spears Federline and other Certain Special Someones!

Is it possible to make a wager on the coming of the Green Tea Latte to Starbucks? I called the Chai latte back in 1996 when I asked my local Starbucks Counter Person in Greenwich to add some steamed soy milk to the hot water and Taza (sp?) chai tea bag but haven't seen a dime for it.

Unless she's hot.

Agreed. Interests section should be something like: "Avid golfer and rock musician". None of that "Enjoys books and travel" crap. It really all is about dork control, because you will need to deal with the clown on an on-going basis, notwithstanding how smart they are.

Has anyone seen any resumes with photos of the candidates on them?

Its an automatic ding - as bad as videotape (yes, this exists).

What? No misfeasance, malfeasance or nonfeasance?

Dork control? In this industry? I feel like I'm in a D&D marathon half the time.

Golf drives me fucking nuts. I grew up playing golf and got bored senseless with it by 21. I still play now and again, but hardly any amount worth discussing. Why does every male at the age of 30 suddenly become a “golf guy”? I like it - its relaxing... But its one of those sports you can never master unless you have inherent skills. You can’t will yourself to be really good without a lot of natural talent, and if you play for more than 3 years, you realize this. Nevertheless, guys talk about how they’re changing their swings and taking lessons, etc... all day long. Its really annoying as hell. The only lesson a pro ever gave me that really made sense was to use my lead arm more than my support arm. That can convert a straight ball to a draw and add about 20 yards. But if you’re a slicer, you’re fucked, and most of the guys I hear talking about it are all fucking slicers. Its maddening. Just go play the fucking game and stop talking about it.

My dear boy, if I had co-endorsed the post, which would have required reading it, I think it would have said "Ping! Zing. But I cannot endorse that kind of derivative drivel. I invented the breakfast whiff post.

Wow. You really didn't read it. Ouch.

Nor should you. The Chai Tea is just an innocuous appearing sugar delivery system. In fact, most of those Starbucks bar drinks (particularly the Frappucinos) are just veiled ways for folks who’d be embarrassed to start the day with an ice cream cone to get their fructose/fat fix on...

You might as well hit Carvel on the way to work and shovel a trowelful of Cookie Puss into your pie hole.

Referring to psilocybin as "magic mushrooms" makes you sound like you're a sophomore sorority chick at UVM.

Example please! Is it like "paigow enjoys horseback riding, donating to PETA and flaming name droppers"

"[Mr./Ms.] ____ is an inveterate ______ and accomplished _______ who enjoys activities that include ______ , ________ and ________ ."

Yes, em did call emself Mr./Ms. and used the word "inveterate." Em was also Not Hot.

"Mr. Weed is an inveterate drunk and accomplished skin-flute soloist who enjoys activities that include sleeping, mumbling and maudlin weeping."

That's a good list. Lots to talk about.

I don't actually care what it is, as long as I don't have to talk about the candidate's facinating summer doing document review on an asbestos case, or what it was like to intern at the state attorney's office.

Of course, the best is when someone lists an interest and then can't back it up. If you say you like baseball, you better have an opinion of how the new second baseman is working out for the home team.

So, tell me about lawn darts.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? You have used an inordinate number of my posts to leapfrog into some rant about the Inferiors. NTTAWWT

By the way, make sure when Starbucks gets teh Green Tea Latte, that you order it sans the syrup. Then its just tea and (soy) milk. The Fats do alwys find a way to turn a perfectly nutritious, and or caffeinating beverage, into a sugar and fat medium, don't they?
