You, Skeks and Flinty really need to find something to do at night.

And that'll teach you.

Just start over. New avatar. New name. You're dead in the water.

There are about a million jobs out there. I bet even Less could lateral out of his sleazy ass niche and save himself from going to hell. Litigators are in HIGH demand and there is a lot out ther efor corporate and real estate as well. And IP of course. Google has many many listings. Arent they still private? That would be a nice chunk of equity incentive if they go public.

So, I guess the economy really is recovering...

Depends on where you are. The Texas board is reporting new layoffs and several big companies in Austin and Houston are laying off engineers and programmers this week and next.

Even(expecting recovery in 3Q 2002, uh 2003, uh 2004)Odds

I'm this one:

It's a three-way tie.

Type Three
The Achiever
The adaptable, success-oriented type. Threes are self-assured, attractive, and charming. Ambitious, competent, and energetic, they can also be status-conscious and highly driven for advancement. They are diplomatic and poised, but can also be overly concerned with their image and what others think of them. They typically have problems with workaholism and competitiveness. At their Best:: self-accepting, authentic, everything they seem to be—role models who inspire others

Type Six
The Loyalist
The committed, security-oriented type. Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. Excellent "troubleshooters," they foresee problems and foster cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and anxious—running on stress while complaining about it. They can be cautious and indecisive, but also reactive, defiant and rebellious. They typically have problems with self-doubt and suspicion. At their Best: internally stable and self-reliant, courageously championing themselves and others.

Type Nine
The Peacemaker
The easy-going, self-effacing type. Nines are accepting, trusting, and stable. They are usually creative, optimistic, and supportive, but can also be too willing to go along with others to keep the peace. They want everything to go smoothly and be without conflict, but they can also tend to be complacent, simplifying problems and minimizing anything upsetting. They typically have problems with inertia and stubbornness. At their Best: indomitable and all-embracing, they are able to bring people together and heal conflicts.

Translation: I'm completely mixed up.

Harrisburg .... That and we put bacon on everything. You might not like that.

I am so there. I'm reserving harrisassoc right now.

(Actually, my experience with Harrisburg is that it's a pretty decent place, compared to similar capital cities that aren't big cities (Albany, Jefferson City, Bangor, Sacramento) - the food is pretty decent for the size of the town, and that counts for a lot).

The Powerful, Dominating Type:
Self-Confident, Decisive, Willful, and Confrontational

Basic Fear: Of being harmed or controlled by others
Basic Desire: To protect themselves
(to be in control of their own life and destiny)
Enneagram Eight with a Seven-Wing: "The Maverick"
Enneagram Eight with a Nine-Wing: "The Bear"


Profile Summary for the Enneagram Type Eight

Healthy: Self-assertive, self-confident, and strong: have learned to stand up for what they need and want. A resourceful, "can do" attitude and passionate inner drive. / Decisive, authoritative, and commanding: the natural leader others look up to. Take initiative, make things happen: champion people, provider, protective, and honorable, carrying others with their strength. At Their Best: Become self-restrained and magnanimous, merciful and forbearing, mastering self through their self-surrender to a higher authority. Courageous, willing to put self in serious jeopardy to achieve their vision and have a lasting influence. May achieve true heroism and historical greatness.

Average: Self-sufficiency, financial independence, and having enough resources are important concerns: become enterprising, pragmatic, "rugged individualists," wheeler-dealers. Risk-taking, hardworking, denying own emotional needs. / Begin to dominate their environment, including others: want to feel that others are behind them, supporting their efforts. Swaggering, boastful, forceful, and expansive: the "boss" whose word is law. Proud, egocentric, want to impose their will and vision on everything, not seeing others as equals or treating them with respect. / Become highly combative and intimidating to get their way: confrontational, belligerent, creating adversarial relationships. Everything a test of wills, and they will not back down. Use threats and reprisals to get obedience from others, to keep others off balance and insecure. However, unjust treatment makes others fear and resent them, possibly also band together against them. [hmmmmm.]

Unhealthy: Defying any attempt to control them, become completely ruthless, dictatorial, "might makes right." The criminal and outlaw, renegade, and con-artist. Hard-hearted, immoral and potentially violent. / Develop delusional ideas about their power, invincibility, and ability to prevail: megalomania, feeling omnipotent, invulnerable. Recklessly over-extending self. / If they get in danger, they may brutally destroy everything that has not conformed to their will rather than surrender to anyone else. Vengeful, barbaric, murderous. Sociopathic tendencies. Generally corresponds to the Antisocial Personality Disorder. [uh oh.]

Key Motivations: Want to be self-reliant, to prove their strength and resist weakness, to be important in their world, to dominate the environment, and to stay in control of their situation.

Examples: Martin Luther King, Jr., Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Mikhail Gorbachev, G.I. Gurdjieff, Pablo Picasso, Richard Wagner, Sean Connery, Susan Sarandon, Glenn Close, John Wayne, Charlton Heston, Norman Mailer, Mike Wallace, Barbara Walters, Ann Richards, Toni Morrison, Lee Iococca, Donald Trump, Frank Sinatra, Bette Davis, Roseanne Barr, James Brown, Chrissie Hynde, Courtney Love, Leona Helmsley, Sigourney Weaver, Fidel Castro, and Saddham Hussein.

This show was really funny I have to say. I also have to say that European women are so much sexier than American women. No contest. although I have to wonder if that Pam ANderson clone is really european- though she must be bc her tits are real eand everything about her says she would have fake ones if she lived here.

The show was funny, but there were only 3 hot girls. The rest were Eurotrash. And I would have eliminated the one with the sunglasses before getting off the horse.

European girls are no more sexy than American girls. But good luck on the lesbian tour. Can you leave now?

And one of these:

Nyarlethotep plush

Much better than:

the Shoggoth, which sort of looks like a frisbee with tentacles, yes?

Holy crap, that stuff is funny. Something good to get my nephew, I think.
