Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[Groogrux]

I would say there is some of that, but the majority of it is trying to avoid lawsuits.  Women especially love to sue employers or at least make a big stink for "workplace harassment" and all of the suffering they supposedly went through.

alternatively, stop blaming women and quit making innuendo or passes digitally at work. not hard!

I don't want you to think that I blame just women in general.  I blame anybody out to make a stink of things that are said in the workplace that have no meaning out of context.  Simply put, people are too lawsuit happy and it's taken its toll on people being able to have a personality in the workplace.

I don't think it's appropriate for ANYONE to sexually harass another person in the workplace.  But the lines between everyday talk (i.e. telling somebody they, "look nice today," and them reporting it as you saying you though their ass looked nice or that they were ugly every other day) and harassment have been muddied too far.

For what reason?

I was walking into a -40 windchill to pick something up and thought it would be a waste not to pick some booze up, too. You can tell that I took three different logic courses.

Anyway, I drank a 375 ml bottle of Grey Goose and two large Zywiec beers. Feel very sober.

[Flannel Boy]

Pretty sure I just became a member of the FML HoF.

The real life HOF or the internet one?

[Beezy]

holy shit a breakfast joint that serves Guinness and champagne (the most godly combo yet invented I feel)

last time I had was at a wedding with an open bar...they had open bottles of champagne, and Guiness on tap. I pointed this out to the barman, and asked if he could make us a round of what we called Black Velvets. I woke up the next morning in a hotel room still wearing a tux with a torn hamstring and a flight to Japan to catch, fun times

Black Velvet, huh? *googles*

[Flannel Boy]

There's an Internet one? "yaere is th."

I see. The Internet one is harder to get in to, but this qualifies me for both. Alcohol makes me sad, which is odd because I'm always sad.

his black velvet sounds so much better than the awful whiskey of the same name that we drank for a year in college.

[Cormacaroni]

yeah, technically i think a Black Velvet is just Guiness and lemonade or something but obviously champagne is 1000x better. It's light and frothy yet dark and creamy and it comes in pints

[chronovore]

Liver workout last night. Paying for it today.

Ow.

Ow, ow, ow.

I downed a mess of turmeric, which Japanese people believe prevents hangovers. It may have been somewhat ameliorated, but it is not a silver bullet.

what you need is a big greasy plate of hashbrowns covered in cheddar, bacon, jalapenos, a sunny side up egg, etc.  with a huge cup of black coffee.   but...japan.

Yeah, that would have done the trick, alright. If I was in Santa Cruz, I'd have rolled over to Zachary's for a Mike's Mess. My wife made coffee, French Toast, and a big plate of breakfast meats.

I'm going to have to try that. Not soon, but I do have Guinness Extra Stout and an unclaimed bottle of Cava...

Watching the Led Zep 'Celebration Day' blu-ray recorded in 2007. Sounds fantastic but it is just fucking cracking me up how much Robert Plant looks like Theoden

We don't celebrate Washington's Birthday or American Independence Day either!

you guys dedicate an entire week just to reading and can't find time to celebrate how awesome America is? Da fuq.

[Madrun Badrun]

Ya but we only read because taking a trip to mexico for a week is harder for us.

[Flannel Boy]

Pretty sure Arvie is the only one reading that week. Well, I'm reading board textures, so I guess that almost counts.

[Madrun Badrun]

Reading forums counts too, Malek

[Don Flamenco]

whoa...if i play my cards right, I can do one of my classes over a 5 day period during spring break and another split up into all day sessions each Saturday in February.  That would leave me with one class to attend on a weekly basis for the rest of the semester. 

[Madrun Badrun]

I have 7 class this term.  Fuck you.

It's been so dry these past few days that almost everything my room shocks me.  I put a usb stick in my ps3 and the screen turned purple for that split second.  Plugging a usb cord into my PC froze it.  Every time I turn on my monitor there's a tiny jolt.

Get a humidifier.  Buy one at your local retail goods store for maybe $30-40 at most.

Inside a classroom for the first time in nearly two months (excluding exams).

[Madrun Badrun]

so you have missed the first month of this term?

I just skipped the last week of classes.  And slept though all of general relativity today in physics.  Maybe wasn't the best idea. 

[Madrun Badrun]

yes my meeting about how my research is going for my compsci honours project got cancelled.  This is good because I just finally figured out what I'm actually working on about an hour ago. 

Me

What is the deal with Mexico? I have friends who enjoy vacationing there, but I have no interest. I've been to Tijuana; it was basically Mos Eisley, except you can't drink the water and the Stormtroopers are corrupt.

Your decision wasn't bad--after all, it's all relative.

There are about eight law courses I had never attended once (not including exams). Worst grade? B

[Flannel Boy]

For any future employers, my name is Don Stuper and I went to U of T. OK, that's not believable--I went to whatever shit school they have in Saskatchewan.

[Flannel Boy]

My friends, the devil has fooled you all into believing that hell is a warm place below the ground. Do not believe his lies--hell is a cold place above the ground in Manitoba.


-The bus was twenty minutes late. At least it warmed up; it was only -31 with the windchill.
-I actually attempted to attend [insert class name here], but it's being held at the Provincial Legislature. Is this ironic? I don't know because I listened to Jagged Little Pill 300 times when I was 13.
-I did attend corp II, but there was group work. I sat in the corner surfing a poker forum. Yeah.
