Nuts -

[kyburg]

Open the window already, ya stupid girl - the friends list is producing good links on overtime this morning!

Think your job sucks? Try these on. There is a contest going on - vote for the suckiest job on the list!

Well, to make a long story short, I now have aggreed to perform operation Amphibian Extradition and I'm on Frog Patrol till the bugger decides to show his little green head again.

I'm seriously going to have to start a list of things that I've said that just never came to mind when I came to Iraq: "Don't shoot the frog," is definitely going to head the list.

Dying here. If you're not reading ginmar, you should. She's wonderful -

She also mentions this blog, which mentions this group. A quote, in case the link goes down - "Del Casal jokes, "What do you tell a wife who has two black eyes?" "Nothing, you told her twice already." His other joke, "What do 15 battered women have in common?" "None of them understands the meaning of shut the blank up." He even jokes about battered women. "What does a woman do when she gets out of the battered women's shelter?" "The dishes, if she knows what's good for her."

Uh, yeah. If I had an ex being supported by these folks, I'd use in court against him. You'd better believe it. Says Trish Wilson in her blog - No wonder courts don't refer divorcing men to this group anymore. No kidding, Trish. No kidding.

Nevada, with all the growth in Las Vegas, has and will continue at times, to replace Los Angeles and California as the "national rebuild-your-life-after-you've-fucked-it-up-elsewhere capital." Some times, the blame for that fuckup can get displaced instead of shouldered by the fuckwit, yanno?

I'm wondering if the fan fiction is written as nicely as the site it's on is designed - I'll let you know.

I had to cancel out a get-together with unclemilo last night after fielding first the calls from Crystal, and then from my mother - my niece was in a car accident last night and found herself at the county facility with no memory of what had happened to her. Those developments are sure to be updated as they happen - but I couldn't leave the phones last night. I'm sorry!

Today, I make pie. I've got the apples, so help me.

About the battered women jokes, he says, "I don't mean it with ill intent. It's meant to lighten things up, to make them relax. I don't have any problem with women. I don't practice any hatred of women. What I do here is a private organization and what we joke about is our business."

Yeah. . . .

Sure.

sucky jobs...

I've had a lot of them, but there's no way I'm gonna post about them because the public really doesn't need to know about them. :)

On that amphibian expedition thread, did you see that "don't shoot the frog" icon? *laughs*

Uh, yeah. If I had an ex being supported by these folks, I'd use in court against him. You'd better believe it. Says Trish Wilson in her blog - No wonder courts don't refer divorcing men to this group anymore. No kidding, Trish. No kidding.

Yeah, they just take it to the other extreme. Just as bad.

Every dumb thing we do to women, two dumb things are done to men....

However, in the case of the group in Nevada, there is no excuse. Hate is hate is hate - recognizing it as such and stripping the labels away from it is critical.

I don't care who espouses it.

[joggingguy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I agree 100%. I read that link. He's just making excuses about the battered women jokes and the t-shirts.

"I don't mean it with ill intent. It's meant to lighten things up, to make them relax. I don't have any problem with women. I don't practice any hatred of women."

Yeah, right.

Somewhere I have a book counselling twenty-somethings on their possible career paths and tutures, and itmentions what I still believe to be the Worst Job Evar: turkey masturbator. Turkeys must be artificially insemninated; somebody has to, um, encourage the turkey. Not only did the other poultry farm workers make fun of the "turk-jerk", but the turkeys *knew* who this guy was, and followed him around amorously.

I'm a finalist! I knew my suck job had to be good for something!
