Someone tell me if this is real or not. I can't wrap my mind around this if it's for true.
Yeah, so I understand that the LOLCat phenomenon hit critical mass a while ago, but, by God, this is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton has announced that he will resign July 10. This is the second time in as many years that the mayor has promised to resign, so I'm not holding my breath, but it does look as thought he'll actually go through with is this time around.
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal:
This time, from all indications, Herenton is serious and will leave his City Hall office July 10 -- nearly 18 years after he became the city's first elected black mayor -- to devote his energy to a run for Congress.
The freedom to swing my fist through the air ends where your nose begins. This saying holds true in most cases. Significant exceptions to this philosophy include: Select contracting personnel. Those fuckers need to be Hector-stomped.
I was in Schaumburg, a suburb of Chicago, for a week-long conference. Didn't stay extremely engaged at the conference, mainly worked our table. I had four focus groups scheduled, but people only showed up to one. I did get good feedback, but I think I'm going to have to schedule a special trip and set up focus groups outside of a conference to get any kind of decent attendance.
I also have classes Mon-Thurs nights. With set online audio classes and papers due, I'm staying pretty freakin' busy.
Have a great Father's Day all the daddies out there.
At work, we're having some minor problems with one of our contractors that is a Canada-based company. One coworker, overly fed up with the situation, suggests we just invade Canada so we can make them do things the right way. I feel that we really don't need all of Canada, just the bit that connects us to Alaska. The map here represents my thoughts on what we should annex - everything from the north-east Montana border to the north-east Alaskan border.
There is some discussion about what we'd call this new state. I suggest North Montana though Cullenland is OK too.
Does everyone remember Sorryeverybody.com? It appears that they've now gone from a "Sorry that the U.S. voted for Teh BUSH!" and is now a "Hey world, let's party 'cause Obama is TEH SAVEUR!"
So, wouldn't it be interesting if someone, oh say, Pajamas Media or Maybe Right Wing News stood up a conservative version apologizing to the world for the upcoming shitstorm? Maybe a "Guess what folks, you're screwed" site.
Yeah.
We're dog owners again. We were sitting and it has morphed into ownership. But that's a good thing. Our previous attempt at dog ownership didn't work out quite so well, but Ally (Aly? Allie?, we haven't decided on spelling yet) has fit into our family so very well. A boxer and lab (we think) mix, she is a well-behaved, good natured dog. She has her quirks. She likes to jump a little and she will bolt out the front door if given the opportunity, but on the former she's only showing her love and the latter she's just checking out the neighborhood.
And the tail? It thumps with Thor-like might.
