Dishonoring MLK Day

There's nothing worse than white people who pretend (to blacks of course) that they are celebrating MLK day, or doing something to honor MLK. At the local bodega today some liberal Upper East Side Mommy was all out of breath at the counter saying her day was so busy. She said real loud to the cashier, knowing a middle-aged black woman was in line right behind her, that her day started with "all sorts of chaotic running around" and then she had to suddenly run out to buy a book about MLK when her teenage daughter asked her for one (yeah right) over breakfast. (Um, get it yourself, slut). If I'd been that black lady, I'd have had some smarmy response but she just smiled. Good Lord she's probably heard it all.

Okay, even if you are white and did do *something* for MLK day, who cares if you "went to a mass service" or something for Dr. King? So fucking what? If you want to really do something meaningful on this day, engage in some really hardcore interracial sex. Fuck a black man. Really Hard. And THEN show up breathless at the bodega counter.

Just a thought. YMMV.

Well now. That is much trickier. That said, I can think of several people I am currently working for whom I would correct, especially if I had your excuse that I used to do the same thing (which makes it pretty easy).

That said, I once (and hopefully never again), worked with a partner who misspronounced "pro hac vice." I tried saying it correctly in this partner's presence more than once, but the partner never caught on and the hell if I was going to tell em directly.

I don't really want to fuck them, but in honor of Dr. King I'm giving every black man I know Respek Knuckles.

Thurgreed, this one's for you.

OK, anyone who can explain this is smarter or weirder than me. My top score so far is 6500, but I have no idea if that's any good.

10800. I have no idea if the robots that just climbed down the ladder are good guys or bad guys.

Are you sure higher scores are better? I had 7300, and I'm not sure what I was doing, but I don't think I should be better than your "best."

Everything I know about this can be found in Jon Carroll's column in today's SF Chronicle, which also contains links to other odd sites, including (1) a live shot of the Bay from the Berkeley hills, (2) Josh, and (3) http://www.fleshbot.com (not work-safe, according to Carroll).

Not at all. Not sure of anything. I just want them to stop booing me.

Crap. I got 6500 too. It seems like some sort of weird simplified version of Sim Earth, where you have to get the typhoon thing to knock over the antenna thing and have an alien baby pop out of its head. I want to get that egg to hatch if it's the last fucking thing I do.

Strike that.

I don't think the volcano is good. You want to seed the clouds and flood the planet before you set up the weather vane to move the typhoon.

At least, I think so.

If you go
Egg
Mechanical nut (not the space-ship earth one, the other one)
Orange
Mountain
Propeller
TV
Typhoon
Sat Dish
Space ship launcher nut
Pipe
Industry box
ladder

you get 11,100 with some weird bonuses, and you get to watch TV, and something bizarre hatches out of the egg. You don't get nuthin out of the mountain though. And I hate the volcano; i like it much better when you get mountain lakes and streams. I'm going to try this, but with the ladder earlier.
