I did the online dating thing for a while a couple of years ago and went on a few dates, and dated one girl for a few months.  As people have noted, look at their profiles and note things they are interested in that you have in common, or even better, ask them about them to get them talking.  I'd say something like,…

Does it give you crazy dreams? It does so to both my fiancee and I.

Well, it isn't really the yawning. I get it, people yawn. It's not as if I have never yawned at my desk.  It is the theatrical, doing it for attention, yawns.  It is hard to really put it down phonetically, but the fucker next to me goes from "Herrrrrrrr" "Hooooooooooooooahhhhh" "Urrrrrrrrr" all day.  Plus, I doubt…

Man, I was in heaven as a kid during the seltzer phase.  Zeltser Seltser, New York Seltzer, and even Clearly Canadian. They seemed to be everywhere and then disappeared.

I am going to add some more work bitching to this thread. Of course, I work with savages, but there are three things people do here that I find so fucking unprofessional.
1. Loudly yawning
2. Not turning phones on silent
3. Playing on their phones in meetings.

Yep, $50 to try on.  They have to order it from somewhere else to get it in the store for me to look at it. Just not worth it, and my fiancee just loves the dinner jacket.

I'd really love to upgrade mine. I use the shit out of my 1st gen version.  Also, check out the iPad covers I linked below.

If you do go with an iPhone 5 (and this goes for the iPad, too @LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus ) might I suggest the coolest cases for them from Pad and Quill http://www.padandquill.com/.  They are handmade leather and wood and they are made to look like notebooks.  I have had mine for a couple of months and love it.

People got pissed at the midnight blue? Tasteless philistines!  I think I am going to relent and wear an ivory dinner jacket with black pants and the groomsmen are wearing black. I still love the midnight blue, it is just going to be a pain in the ass to get it. I have to pay $50 just to try it on and that doesn't go…

My slaw hints:  Use purple along with green cabbage. Also, dice up red chili peppers in there, and if you can find them, rainbow carrots.  It makes for a cool looking and tasty dish.

Same here. I'm just so goddamn fickle.

@avclub-f7f8eb12e0f61a9321597157c0d61791:disqus The asshole persona comes in handy in all walks of life.  I am completely surprised nowadays when someone starts talking to me in public.  It really works well for plane travel. At a previous job, I had to fly all of the time, and when I did, all I wanted to do was read…

We ordered our bands a couple of weeks ago. Quick tip from my savvy fiancee: If you buy something from a jewelry store and have them ship it to another state, you don't have to pay tax on it.

@OldeFortran77:disqus In this case, javascript.  It was coding done on an interface engine, and in no way, will I pretend to be a real programmer.

I had a very vivid dream last night (thanks benadryl!) that I was in the Middle East to testify against someone (I have no idea) when a couple of major world events occurred. Weapons were stolen from the US, and the US attacked another country in response. So, I had to be quickly removed from the Middle East.  The…

Crazy talk. I'd smoke pot out of a dirty beer can if I could do it and not get fired.

A friend of mine was attacked when she was 6 or so and has scars on her forehead and along the scalp.  She was pre-vet in college and has 3 dogs now, two of which are rescues.

That shit sucks.  I just basically said, "nope" when the autistic guy tried to pawn off work on me. First, he accused me of breaking it in May 2012 (which I didn't. There is version control, fool, I can see what was done then), and plus, if he is so busy, quit talking to that fuckhead from Utah all day. Maybe you'd…

Even though it is like 94 outside, it is always freezing in my office building.  I am really hot natured, so if I am cold, there is something wrong.  A couple of weeks back, I sought out the thermostat and found it set to 56 degrees!  I turned that shit up to 73.

Here, here, brother.  I have spent my 11 plus years of professional life cultivating a persona of the "glaring asshole who is good at his job."  I am actually a nice guy but grown ass people at work are scared of me.  It keeps people from asking me stupid questions or trying to get me to do their work for them.
