    Ugh the worst example of Hollywood’s dumb aging was in The Graduate where Anne Bancroft (Mrs. Robinson) was only six years older than Dustin Hoffman yet she was supposed to be playing a mother with a child in college (too young) and Dustin Hoffman was supposed to be a recent College grad (too old). It was less pervy

    A revealing line from the trailer: “From Seth McFarlane, creator of Family Guy

    “Doctor turned actor/comedian Ken Jeong plays Dr. Ken, a brilliant physician with no bedside manner.”

    Oh I’m sure there are, because god forbid the government tells you to do something that mildly inconveniences you.

    Hey Angelenos - do you want Green Grass 12 months of the year? Here’s an idea - move to the Pacific Northwest.

    I love Cool as Ice for its cheese factor, but I have a love for bad movies (Nothing But Trouble is a personal fave).

    My worst experience was a few weeks back for one of my competitors, who were headhunting me for a specialty division within their company. The recruiter I talked to was all the way from Kentucky but the job wasn’t so they didn’t know the office or work directly with the hiring manager.

    Ugh I was in Safeway one time and a few lines away from me there was an old lady arguing about change or something in the express line to a young East Indian Cashier. Anyhow, eventually she said something racist and the entire line hissed and booed her, but the best part was there was an old man in the line who stood

    I wonder if they had any relationship to the Pino Giorgio ladies.

    At least you didn’t have a Macintosh Performa. Yipes was that a giant under powered turd (I had to switch on Virtual Memory to play Maniac Mansion 2 - Day of the Tentacle).

    Yeah that conversation should have stopped the minute the stepdad said “that’s not my mom; that’s my wife.” If that was me, it would become “uh drinks are on the house” as I spend the rest of the evening making sure they get served when their glasses are empty but avoiding all other possible contact at any cost.

    He definitely gets some leeway for that. Not so much the Safeway employee who when my mother asked if they had any lychees in stock, he told her to go check in the cheese section.

    People still do that though as regardless of whether you give them numbers or the buzzers, they believe that "maybe if I stand right in front of the counter and in front of all of the customers here before I was, I'll get what I asked for before them because science!"

    I wonder how many customers, who were waiting for tables , walked out pissed after seeing Mrs. McWhinyface get bumped in front of them for being a cow or who were just put off by her foul language and didn't want their dining experience further ruined.

    Where’s Heathrow on the list? I would have thought Heathrow would have taken the cake over Frankfurt and CDG (at least Frankfurt has Dr. Mueller’s, which would be a fun way to spend several hours of layovers!).

    But wait a minute America... are you saying that we don’t live in a Meritocracy and that sometimes people who are the best aren’t promoted based on factors not related to performance such as gender, race or the fact they aren’t a senior VP’s cousin?

    Yep and fun fact - it's filled with dangerous levels of asbestos.

    9) The Millennium Films logo appears at the beginning. Even if they're trying to class it up a bit, you see that logo and you know you can expect "The Big Wedding" or some other wreck that was a hand me down from the other studios.

    Uh oh, looks like someones got a case of the Mondays!

    The two weeks is respectful, but I've noticed among several colleagues that if you're going to a competitor that the company will waive the waiting period, whether you want it or not, as the last thing they want is you hanging around for two weeks picking up company information.
