Ladies and gentlemen, the Morons are winning the war.

They already outnumber us.  They breed more.  They've even conned some of our ranks into believing that we should spend our money trying to lift them out of the squalor produced by their own cerebral deficiencies.  But now they are actually doing the unthinkable.  They are recruiting.

I was ( Read more... )

So, I finally got around to seeing 300 this weekend.  Let me say that I don't get excited about much, but I've been hopping up and down with anticipation over this movie for about 5 months.  Let's run through the math:

So, back in August or so, they asked all the people at my office who had worked there less than a year to pose for some professional group shots so they could post it to the corporate website and introduce us to the rest of the extended Jones & Stokes "family."

Well, a few weeks back, during the slow holiday season, one of our graphic artists got ( Read more... )

So, it's January in the Pacific Northwest, and surprise...the weather blows.  Literally.  40mph winds last night.  Gusts to 60mph.  The sun came out just long enough to shine in my face this morning and wake me up, but it's back to cold, gray, and...you guessed it, raining ( Read more... )
