Hopefully next week I'll do better.

The ending of Jumanji always kind of bugged me. Does that mean Robin Williams and his girlfriend would have an easy time at school seeing they obviously lived life already. That and the look Kirsten Dunst's character gives Robin Williams at the end. I mean, how would they even know each other? Do they actually remember playing the game in the alternate universe?

The annoying thing about it was that there was so much blatant psychological trickery going on. They said that anyone that works for someone else is a loser (so 99% of the world are losers), and that anyone that didn't have $6,000 dollars of completely disposable income was a loser. They even divided the people up in groups according to who had bought in and who had not, and treated the two groups vastly different. Of course the $6,000 price tag was for that day only, absolutely no chance of anyone doing any research, and basically talked as if the only reasons to not buy in were because one were scared, lazy, unmotivated.

Oh well, at least I got paid for it. .

Ah, no one pulls the wool over our ghouck's eyes !

That salesmen think I'm a loser, does he ?

I'll make him pay...I'll make them all pay...

Still, it was a day out and you got paid so it's not all bad.

And believe it or not, I managed to not lose my parking receipt, so I'll get that money back (I often lose it and am S.O.L. for getting reimbursed).

On Saturday, my boss and I drove 3 hours each way to what was supposed to be a class on internet sales. It wasn't, it was a 9-hour sales pitch for a $6,000 package that we have no way to implement. So, it's a 15 hour day, and everything after my normal 7.5 hours is time-and-a-half.

Your experience directly disproves their point that anyone who works for someone else is a loser. You got paid to listen to their B.S., while anyone who was self-employed and schlepped out to this presentation lost at least 9 hours of productive time, and possibly $6,000.

I have no desire to watch 'Bruno' I don't care how many good reviews it gets.

Sacha Baron Cohen is really annoying.

I'm going to go to the golf course today after work. BUT, I'm going there on my quad, golf courses are the perfect place for me to practice my powerslides.

I think the thing that bugs me the most is the scope of their statements. The whole World War 2 thing, yea, all those people of all allied nations taking care of industrial support: losers according to this idiot. All those bombers, tanks, battleships, built by losers. That car you drive, that movie you're watching, , all made by losers. Heck, Andrew and every other serviceperson is a loser. That doctor that delivered your kids, the firefighters and policemen, teachers, bartenders, strippers. Almost every ounce of food you eat, handled by losers.

Come to think of it, what DID they use the "@" symbol for before email became popular?

For that matter, what do they use the ` (whatever it's called) symbol for? Is that for like, foreign languages or something?

Jack · July 14, 2009, 06:45:53 AM

A period up in the air is an umlaut, they use it for some German words. An apostrophe above a letter is an accent mark (I dunno, maybe it has a fancier name). I think that comes from French? I dunno.
