I just realized that my gf's dad looks a bit like Alexandr Lukashenko. At least the hairdo and 'stache....
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

So I'm out driving with my little girl and some guy drives by with the large Confederate flag flying from his truck. My little girl exclaims "Boy, that guy sure thinks he's fancy!" Of course this makes me laugh, because she's right, and then she follows up with "But why is he flying the flag of the British Navy?" I'm not sure where that came from, but I had to explain the difference.
HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

Because he's a British Imperialist, like all good Americans should be?

It's educational! http://www.slate.com...his.single.html
"To summarize: The Yes Men posed as fake representatives of a consulting firm the regents hired, and the Threat Assessment Team was called in. Bruce Harreld flubbed his own résumé, offered a ham-handed response to question about sexual assault, cited Wikipedia, and was openly dismissive in an exchange with a staff member—and he was invited to be UI’s new president."

I couldn't bring myself to post this in the original thread:
The really bad news is that you're going to be fired.
The good news is that they're not firing you for any action you've taken or not for any perception of you.
The bad news is your company has been defunct for 44 years.
The really good news is your company has the slowest bureaucracy in the history of the planet so it'll probably take them two or three years to get around to you.

I'm sketching a map, and I have some help....
This is why we named the cat Fiddler....
I love the way he folds his paws in at the end, as if to say "Didn't do anything."

My dream of emigrating to Norway is looking better and better!

Of course, they probably wouldn't let me in (stupid "standards" ). Maybe if I went as an environmental refugee considering what Australia will be like in a few more years? Hmmm ...
Oh well, there's always Canada.
