We live in a culture in which men self-identify as women, and women self-identify as men, and whites self-identify as blacks (and Michael Jackson self-identified as all of the above), so five and a half weeks before my fortieth birthday I've decided to self-identify as a twenty-five-year-old.  Sound good?

Then this might interest you.

I'm 50 and I act like I'm 20. Mid-life crisis is f'n awesome, I feel like I've been training for this all my life! I live just like I wanted to live in college, only now I have the know-how and finances to pull it off.

Whoa, I was joking, but that's a real thing? What a crazy world. Creative, though.

Never think that anything you have seen is the weirdest or stupidest thing possible, 'cos someone out there will always prove you wrong.

Looking into how to write a good query letter...

[Svengoolie 3]

Would a necron doomsday ark be better against heavy vehicles than a necron monolith?

[Alex]

Not being familiar with the current ruleset I couldn't answer that, although back when the Necron's first appeared every scarab you got in contact with an armoured vehicle reduced its AP by 3. Even just two of them meant a Land Raider might was well be made out of toilet paper when you were being shot at.

Believe me,  things have changed .

One of those rare occasions today where I had to dismiss (i.e. fire) an intern.

I halfway liked this girl and half the time she rubbed me the wrong way with her constant, almost pathological discussions of how flat-chested she was, but her thing was she'd never use one cuss word where three might fit, and I'm not a prude, I grew up partly in a country where cuss words fly like raindrops in a North Atlantic gale, but this girl was high on even that scale and I've cautioned her before that say mostly what you want in the break room or at lunch, or after hours, but on the floor be careful because we do teleconference with clients and it's not unknown for clients to be in the office, so she was more than briefed there, but today she let loose with a blue streak that'd make Popeye's evil twin brother Poopeye blush, and I was waving her down like shutupshutup and she looked right at me and still finished her eff-word-laden sentence, right when our boss was on speaker phone with a mealy-mouthed client who has the disposition of a nun with PMS, and fortunately he closed his door and later said the client gave no indication of hearing her but that was too much, so.... Ze axe she did fall on ze neck.

It's stressful (to me anyway) to have to tell someone it's ain't working, sorry, and she took it badly and cried but okay, she was warned.

Still, it kind of ruins my day.

That is why I threatened to punch a friend if he did not stop swearing constantly in front of Ash. Told him that while I know Ash will swear, I want him to know there are times when you can and times when you just don't.

Millenials sometimes have to learn lessons the hard way; one of those lessons being this concept called "Business Decorum."
I have a Navy vocabulary that still lurks in my mind,  but I work in a Christian school where using it in front of my students could get me in a spot of hot water.  So I taught myself to swear in Latin a few years ago, so when I absolutely HAVE to say something, no one knows what I said!

Mentula cacat!!

So, one of my rather diminutive 7th graders came up to me at the beginning of class and said:
"Mr. Smith, can I run to the gym real fast?"

I replied: "Not on those little legs!"

He gave me the look, then burst out laughing.

There's always klingon...

I let the intern come back. She wrote me last night asking for another chance, so I said sure, it wasn't the same without you. She then asked if "fug" was an acceptable substitute and I said no but frak was.

Don;t you love happy endings?
