Assuming he does not do this wearing a samurai jaguar costume, then we have done a good thing. 'Tis the season and all.

Well, but of course I converted. As you all know its set forth in the Koran that one true and Holy Prophet, Mohammed, the only legitimate son of Allah, married his beloved bride, Ayesha, when she was six year olds, and plucked her delicate flower at the age of nine.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION was the case they gave me.

Now, leave me alone, WOOOO!

Nelson and Garcia have been charged with assault and battery. The magistrate also found probable cause to pursue Nelson's complaint against the groundskeeper.

Hard to believe that there were no eyewitnesses. Yes, the game was compelling to watch, but nobody saw nothing? Makes me wonder how much the groundskeeper had to do with starting the fracas.

Third of all, you might want to check, but I'm pretty sure you have a skull right now! Do you have a tongue?

TM
I was assuming I wouldn't have the cooperation of the head in question, first because of the obvious repulsiveness issues and second because as far as I know, the tongue would be staying back in the mouth in a relaxed state once the body was severed from the head.

Maybe if you hung the skull by the tongue (to keep the tongue outside the mouth) until rigor set in. They really should explore that on CSI.

Things That Piss Me Off

I have a standing lunch reservation: every week for five years at the same place with the same group of people. I also visit a couple of times of week for lunch and once or twice a week for cocktails or dinner and I host special events there in the private dining room a couple of times of month.

About six weeks ago, they hire a new reservations woman. Every week for six weeks, she gets the reservation wrong and fucks up my name. I blow it off because she is new.

This morning, I called to say we were having an extra three people and not only could she not find the reservation, she rudely told me she didn't think they could accomodate me because they were all booked.

Of course, her boss's boss's boss was more than happy to take care of me. But now I am mad.

How could you not know who I am? How could you not recognize a name you make reservations for five or six times a week? Part of her job is feigning recognition, if actual recognition is not there. How fucking hard can this be?

If every one above you on the org chart hugs me as I enter your place, shouldn't you figure out what my name is?

Is she hot? That would answer a lot of questions.

I think so. It's just a matter of time.

Oh, you're right. She's just jealous. I knew it. If she were hotter, I would have at least understood that she brings something of value to the enterprise.

Maybe, but it seems like Atticus has stayed for a while, so maybe we appeal to that demographic. Of course, he probably just found us during an intense Google session, so maybe he felt compelled to trust his googling capabilities.

By my conservative estimate, 99 times out of 100, the people one deals with on a daily basis in commercial transactions of any sort have no conception of the two simple words: "Customer service". This is why I hate all of them in advance, unless proven wrong, which rarely happens, although my 1 out of 100 are the chicks at the coffee place I go to in the morning (of course I've only been in there 600 times in the last 18 months).

My advice is to make sure never, Never, NEVER to tip her. Ever. Hold a grudge-it feels good. Also make sure to tip others, conspicuously in her presence.

And also you may want to let the air out of her tires, just a practical style joke. Hilarity will surely ensue.

Tally ho!

Yeah, but it also sounds like if TM, Jack Manfred, some of the other video game junkies here and I could get online with some of those headsets they make now we would school these little punks and make 'em cry talking smack while doing it...

Well, if you have to call the boss' boss, it sounds like they may get it sorted out. Why not just wait a week or two (say, ten visits) and see if things change. If not, _then_ tell somebody higher up that you're not being treated the way that you were before.

I think by this point it's pretty clear that I'm a geek. I'd think it was cool.
