This past summer, I worked at an amusement park, and one of the chemicals they trained me to be able to use was a chewing gum spray, which basically freezes the gum so you an scrape it off. So, really, this is an industry tip. This does work.

FedEx would have been out of business years ago if they trained their people to be lazy.

That's Santa you're supposed to send your list to. Wish I had seen your comment earlier; maybe you could have mailed it in time. Oh well. Next year, just put your list in an envelope that says "North Pole" on it, and drop it in any post box. I'm sure Santa will get it somehow.

Happy Friday, Merry Christmas, Happy Chaunaka, etc. I don't know if I spelled that right, and neither does Chrome, so if I spelled Chaunaka wrong, I'm sorry. (and if you celebrate Kwanza, please tell me what the heck that is. I still have no idea, even after 8 years of celebrate-everything-but-Christmas public…

The hearing then grinded to a halt after Jackson Lee took issue with the offensive comment. The hearing fell behind schedule and…

Oh, I am so calling my congressman, John Boehner. He told me in his Eagle congratulatory letter to let him know if he can be of assistance. So I'm going to let him know.

Hey openthreaders. My laptop is going to totally die in about a year. I'm going to college next year, and I'm looking at going into computer science. Strictly from a programming standpoint, and ignoring boot camp, what's the difference between a mac and a PC?

So... we basically need to do SEO on our resumes now?

"Systematic, goal-oriented, proactive solutions that, at the end of the day will—" "BINGO!"

Myself, I am also a Smartwool fan. They're made of a Merino wool that isn't itchy at all. And they're really warm. But they can cost at least, like, $20 per pair... I think they're worth it.

I had someone on Aol (who uses Aol anymore?) get through to my inbox with a link selling black market viagra. I assumed they meant to send that to to abuse@aol.com, (because why else would you send that, other than to report another spam link, right?) so I went ahead and forwarded it.
