The thing about those mittens, which I didn't appreciate at first, the "hands" are drawn in with pen, the original art probably looks like...mittens -- nm - rollo Dec 12, 09:48 2

  - It was just some guy goofing. I don't believe for a second he was being serious. If someone's taken it seriously, they've fallen for Internet satire. -- nm - Mop Dec 12, 09:55

      - Both of the times I graduated from college, I spent about 18 months out of work. It was certainly tough. -- nm - Mop Dec 12, 09:48 1
        
        when I was working at the bank for all those years, I was all over the advancement opportunities - groiny Dec 12, 09:49
    - you are. recognizing it is the first step. -- nm - university of amanda jones Dec 12, 09:45
- I have low expectations of the amount of satisfaction I can get from a job. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 12, 09:39
- I suppose, come to think of it, I can picture a Slacker or two who has been in a difficult job, largely due to circumstances. -- nm - Mop Dec 12, 09:35
- Uhm... I would not think those in you profession are *in* such jobs? -- nm - Spawn Dec 12, 09:34 1

    - Considering I missed that Theo Riddick was out (not that I had good options off the bench), I won't be gloating if I carry the day. - Name Withheld by Request Dec 12, 09:35 1
      - Dangit. The top two seeds both fell in Vampirates which means my 3rd ass place needs to make finals to get back to Superfeud. - Name Withheld by Request Dec 12, 09:52

      - Best Vampire Scene. Ever. -- (link) - mud Dec 12, 09:44 [youtube]
      - She was definitely the scene stealer, but they butchered the editing so badly that she's not in it much/enough. -- nm - David Dec 12, 09:44 1
        
        ahh... -- nm - Diva Dec 12, 09:44

      - How's your aim after a quart of eggnog? -- nm - Max Dec 12, 09:25 1
        
        eggnog and I have never met. -- nm - mud Dec 12, 09:26
    - heh, the video I literally just watched -- nm - Beaker Dec 12, 09:21
- spoils - Spawn Dec 12, 09:16 2

        Val says nope but others say yeah -- (link) - ML Dec 12, 09:35 [Backboard]

Yep it is definitely snowing. Almost got stuck on a hill on the way to work. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 09:08
Ok. ST Financial department please. We are starting to save money beyond what we need or even plan for, what can we do with it beyond just savings? - volnelk Dec 12, 09:07 9

  - Cool. Thanks! -- nm - volnelk Dec 12, 09:32
- Rates on zero and low-risk investments like money markets and CDs are all pretty atrocious right now, but that should slowly be improving. - Baron Zero C Dec 12, 09:16 2
  - which completely hoses my student loan rate. (I blame ty97, for whatever reason.) -- nm - university of amanda jones Dec 12, 09:26 1
    - Note to self: need to figure out when it starts making sense to make additional payments on mine. - znufrii Dec 12, 09:33

- This weekend when I was at Walmart, four Hatchinmals (sp?) came in and they had to treat them as high dollar secure inventory -- nm* - crash davis Dec 12, 09:05 5
  - you need to pocket those yourself and resell on Ebay -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 09:21 4
    - which is precisely why they treated them as secure inventory :) -- nm - crash davis Dec 12, 09:23 3
      - what does that mean, exactly? - groiny Dec 12, 09:25 2
        
        Secure Inventory means that they probably go into the locked cabinets. -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 09:33 1
        
        right, but what about before it makes it to the locked cabinet? -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 09:44
- Yup, if a store gets any, people wait outside hours before it opens just for a chance they might get one. -- nm - Inigo Dec 12, 09:05 2
  - stupid forced scarcity nonsense - ML Dec 12, 09:14 1

      - crap -- nm - crash davis Dec 12, 09:03 4
        
        I know how to read between his lines. -- nm - Spawn Dec 12, 09:07 3
        
        to be clear, my phone # was not on the 20 dolla bill. -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 09:18 2
        
        Now, what about on the receipt? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 12, 09:24 1
        
        I appreciate you all knowing me so well, but that is really not what my post was about!!!!! -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 09:25
znu - re B2, Trump really can't pull the plug on the F-35, it takes Congress to go along. Also, I'm with the majority, the President shouldn't be - crash davis Dec 12, 08:55 8
- Exactly. Thing of how hard it is to close to close a military base. Imagine pulling the plug on a defense project with jobs across the country. -- nm - Mop Dec 12, 09:29
- He shouldn't be tweeting at all. -- nm - jnine Dec 12, 09:11 3
  - I can't imagine it would be very difficult to hack his Twitter account. This seems like a gross violation of security. -- nm - Mop Dec 12, 09:33 1
    - Exactly, is he going to keep his phone when he becomes president? That will be secure - amoxy Dec 12, 09:34
  - This -- nm - amoxy Dec 12, 09:13
- Yeah, the SoS will tell us ALL about that. -- nm - Spawn Dec 12, 09:00
- plus those costs are all sunk. If they start over they will have to spend hundreds of Billions to get back to where they are now. -- nm - Beaker Dec 12, 08:58 1
  - In retrospect the F-22 looks pretty good. - Mel Profit Dec 12, 09:44
WWE: Booker T to run for Mayor of Houston in 2020. -- nm - Remlik Dec 12, 08:55 1

Uh oh, Android fanboys. -- (link) - spamlet Dec 12, 08:53 4
- Samsung lost me after getting rid of the removable battery and no SD card. This gives me even less of a reason to consider them as they're just a - Krusty Dec 12, 09:36
- That's dumb. F'n Apple. - JaxSean Dec 12, 09:24
- I don't know who said that, since Samsung phones had come out without the headphone previous to this - Reagen Dec 12, 09:00
- But see, with Android you have tons of *choices*. I have never used a headphone jack in a phone, so that would not bother me. -- nm* - Spawn Dec 12, 08:57
LDBC - Out. Riding home from rehearsal and the Temptations' Christmas album played in my friend's car. - Diva Dec 12, 08:51 7
- I had to go pick up moe's with monica (ugh) and she had holiday music in her car. I was so scared. I lived. -- nm - university of amanda jones Dec 12, 09:00 3
  - It's like "the contest" on Seinfeld. being eliminated early has left me with a very comforting peace of mind this season. -- nm - volnelk Dec 12, 09:02
  - you lived AND you got moe's for lunch. win-win. - Diva Dec 12, 09:02 1
    - now I am depressed again. They gave me Moe's and then they took it away. -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 09:03
- Mop's post about the rapiest Xmas song reminded me that I needed to turn on the Christmas music in the office. Would it be bad if I got - crash davis Dec 12, 09:00
