  1. Sure ya can...nothing a little lysergic can't fix
  2. Dating yourself dude - BOFH goes back a LONG way...but tis truly a classic piece of work.
  3. IBMs have a secret reset switch that repairs all. It is located on the underside of the PC. You lift the computer and smash it onto the ground underside hitting squarely with at least 16g of deceleration. The result is a net gain or one might say reverse entropy. 16g sounds like a lot but if one considers instantaneous deceleration it is roughly equivalent to dropping it off of an 9m ladder.
  4. Oh.. you mean like the Kennedy brothers and Marylin Monroe... Always nice to be above the law and treat women like cheap sexual property - so thoughtful of them
  5. You can take some heart Linda - smart companies realize the importance of both customer service and customer satisfaction - technically and practically two different although related items. Unfortunately companies who have sanctioned "monopolies" such as cable providers don't bother with service since you are already captive by geography, i.e. Time Warner will have some section of San Diego and Cox will have the other section - hence you as a consumer have no choice and are captive to the script reading mindless dolts who cannot think outside of their scripts. If nothing else you can always tell them that the problem needs to be escalated and you will need help removing human blood from their hardware interface units. Always get a name and company ID (applies to IRS as well). Always demand a supervisor Always make a follow up call or email to corporate essentially posting what you posted here originally Always explain that you are NO LONGER INTERESTED IN THEIR LACK OF SERVICE AND THAT YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY SWITCHING PHONE PROVIDERS (don't waste this on the dolt - use it on the supervisor and on corporate) Always tell them you are posting the transcript on several pubic blogs and web sites. Always tell them that if they resolve the situation immediately and satisfactorily you will not post the blogs nor contact corporate WITH THE ID AND NAME OF THE DOLT.
  6. Nope you aren't. LSD was first synthesized in the 30's and, if memory serves me, Sandoz discovered the psychedelic properties in the 40's.
  7. A Few Good Men? (shot in the dark - but it kinda sounds like Nicholson's character in that movie
  8. Uhhh - not by my experience in raising two kids. Every parent I know attends PTC's, other school functions, and is involved in school...as in every one I know...and if the kids got in some yogurt the parents were'nt all calling their attorneys. While I certainly cannot disagree with you that it does happen, and perhaps may happen a lot, it is not ubiquitous.
  9. Two lines - probably could do with just the second line...but... "How do write women so well?" "I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability"
  10. Shawshank Redemption? uhh or was that the way corps
  11. Actually a lot of us were warned - just that we weren't willing to listen to warnings from our parents - as Doojable said - idealism and arrogance.
  12. I think Wisconsin tried something like that with attendance not discipline issues. Parents with chronically absent children were somehow fined/sued/neutered - I can't quite remember and certainly can't remember how successful it was.
  13. I'll take some issue with that. Even here in California where CPS is downright famous - correction is not an offense. Now if you leave a mark on the child (perhaps as in wooden spoon) then yes it is considered abuse and CPS will intervene. It does not mean that the parents lose the children, get prosecuted by the state or anything else - it means they investigate. CPS will also get involved in cases of neglect. Suppose you have a family living like dirt - got some horses, cows, sheep, chickens - living in a house that has blown out walls and windows, kids eating food in a filthy kitchen filled with rotten old food while the livestock gets their "fair share" and while the old man and lady makes sure they have enough peso for their entertainment of choice...CPS will investigate and should investigate that neglect. Does it mean they take the kids? Nope - not even here in CA - it means that there is an investigation and possible intervention. (Hell you wanna grow up in a house like that?). Read (if you have a lot of spare time) all of the stories of children found in neglected homes in CA - starving, covered in waste, whilst the old man and old lady make sure that they still have their entertainment - meth, the internet, etc.
  14. Warning! PFAL is only for those who want a truly screwed up life. Do not take if you are perfectly normal and wish to stay that way. Some users may experience side effects such as numbing of the brain, loss of mental awareness, sudden moving to small hick towns with no money and no job. In rare cases users may experience sever side effects. Seek help immediately if you experience a sudden loss of ethics, become prone toward using other people, or become manipulative. These conditions may last beyond TWI involvement.
  15. We now have artillery for our troops. Gen Ham please have these released in the various ponds and don't forget the fountains. These little MF are amazing.
  16. Missed Woodstock - but made Watkins Glen
  17. That sounds excellent! Thanks for posting it!
  18. Well Krys - isn't this the time to bring your biological training to the table? Maybe distribute some mitochondrial destabilizers?
  19. Although some could make the case that if married to a TWItter they may not have married NASA astronauts but sure married someone who spent a lot of time in a space-like vacuum.
  20. WAIT if you have kids around the below is rated M - OK go ahead and read The Brothel The madam opened the brothel door in Winnipeg and saw a rather dignified, well-dressed, good-looking man in his late forties or early fifties. 'May I help you sir?' she asked. 'I want to see Valerie,' the man replied. 'Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else', said the madam. 'No, I must see Valerie,' he replied. Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to the man she charged $5000 a visit. Without hesitation, the man pulled out five thousand dollars and gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, the man calmly left. The next night, the man appeared again, once more demanding to see Valerie. Valerie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row as she was too expensive. But there were no discounts. The price was still $5000. Again, the man pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, he left. The following night the man was there yet again. Everyone was astounded that he had come for a third consecutive night, but he paid Valerie and they went upstairs. After their session, Valerie said to the man, 'No one has ever been with me three nights in a row. Where are you from?' The man replied, ' Ontario .' 'Really', she said. 'I have family in Ontario .' 'I know.' the man said. 'Your sister died, and I am her attorney. She asked me to give you your $15,000 inheritance.' The moral of the story is that three things in life are certain. 1. Death 2. Taxes 3. Being screwed by a lawyer
  21. Sorry about that - not meant to be nostalgia. I would have posted the wrong answer. After I read the hint it become obvious what the flick is. I'll abstain because a) I would have been incorrect had I posted in the first place and b) the hint pretty much gives you the title.
  22. Darn that was a good reply. I was going to guess another movie until I read your reply.
  23. You will see the same thing at CNN, Faux news and other "so-called" clean sites.
