Awesome gadgetry

I wonder about the psyche of the person who developed this ad:

When I saw James Fallows’s post about this pen I thought it looked pretty cool for reporters.  But the above ad I just caught on Facebook made me realize HOW PERFECT it would be for when you’re fighting with your loved ones (or coworkers, I guess).  Imagine!  Mid-fight, you can reference the last one!  And when your opponent says you’re making things up, you have PROOF!

Because I am sane, I still didn’t vote for “happier love life”.  Winning fights is awesome but you’d probably end up stabbed to death with your own pen, and people would be writing snarky obits for you before you’d finished bleeding out.

Still . . .

Tempting . . .

Man with gun at Obama Town Hall

Kinda crazy / ridiculous that they can’t get rid of this guy with a gun.  I’m sure they will eventually.

I do confess to being mildly amused by the newscaster’s rather awkward phrasing “there are concerns about every president’s safety, but certainly this historic president, the 44th president of the united states” — because the number 44 is what makes his presidency historic, clearly. Erm.

I guess maybe they get in trouble from the NRA if they imply gun-toting nutjobs are often racist gun-toting nutjobs?

It’s cheaper than therapy

I didn’t think this needed to be explained, but apparently it is not a nationally accepted practice:  Sometimes it is necessary to get drunk alone at home and watch the Disney Channel.  There is no shame in this.

Sheesh.

I am grossed out, and I will tell you why

I work in a classy place, with people that I would, for the most part, classify as “classy” as well.

HOWEVER.

I feel dirty just talking about it, but I’ve been stewing about this for over a month now:  SOME DEGENERATE KEEPS WIPING THEIR NOSE PICKINGS ON THE STALL WALLS IN THE BATHROOM.  IN MULTIPLE PLACES.

Seriously.  Where are you? In a bathroom stall.  What’s one of the main features in a bathroom stall? Toilet paper.  WHY, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CAN’T YOU USE IT?  Will you miss your little nose treasures if you can’t revisit them throughout the day?  Are you so proud of them that you want to hang them on the wall and share them with your coworkers?

I hate you.

Nothing really more to say here.  The moral of the story is this: do not be a disgusting idiot.  The end.
