Also, is there an objective definition for insubordination? I am certain that a termpered response to this person's conduct would not constitute such, but I would like some backup.

If you aren't his subordinate, you can't be insubordinate to him.

And what's worse than this? Being corrected by some idiot who says, "It's not 'will you join my friend and me. It's will you join my friend and I." Uh...no it's not, jackass. And now it's: "will you stay away from us?"

you can be a little strident sometimes. No offense.

On the way into work today, I saw a "Big 4 Rents"* van that had been vandalized (shocked! shocked!) so it changed this logo:

{images of Big 4 Rents --> Big 4 Penis}

For some reason, this has made me chuckle all day. For some reason.

When I read the first part of your post and looked at the 'before' picture, I fully expected that the vandalism was that someone changed the lower text to read "JUG LIFT".

But this is good too.

I would guess she meant Mr. Ebola, who left under a cloud of alleged anti-semitism. Mr Roesybock(sp?) is the other possibility, but he is still around, and even a moderator.

I think she meant Just For Fun, but I could be wrong.

Thank you. Doesn't Sebby do this, too?

I thought with him it was a finger not a tongue.

Ya know, I can never get enough of those look-how-funny-it-is-that-'em-misspelled-a-word jokes. You just slay me.

Though my attitude toward religion is well documented, I gotta admit that Watchtower rawks. If there was a best recent poster award, he'd get my vote.

Watchtower is my sock. I thought it only fitting.

the use of "countenance" was proper - http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=countenance .

Sort of. A Google search for "kept my countenance" turned up a bunch of hits, all 19th Century, and all in cases where the speaker, in reaction to the words or actions of another, was avoiding changing facial expression for tactical reasons. Since this is an internet board, not a cocktail party (much as it sometimes seems to be), and we weren't able to see that dtb had theretofore been keeping a straight face, using "countenance" as a noun seemed somewhat out of place.

I think dtb's been reading too much Austen lately.

A Ph.D. candidate in the Economics Department at the University of Texas at Austin has written a scholarly paper on the probability of someone faking it, according to an "An Empirical Model of Love-Making."*




* Yes, there is math involved.

I don't have time to read your "papers" (whatever that means and I think I do know what that means). But I do know the statistical likelihood that a woman who has had sexual intercourse at least once in her life has faked it. The answer is all of them. Ain't no one be needing no PhD to be figuring dat out.*

Did Burberry decide to drop-ship scarves to every woman in selected San Franciso ZIP codes? Every third woman I've seen this week has been wearing one.
