If you haven’t seen The Dark Knight yet, then wtf are you waiting for? The plot is a little convoluted if you’re not a Batman fan, but can be followed. Too bad Heath Ledger was dumb enough to take all those pills; it would’ve been nice to see him do a sequel.
Fuzzbusters
Everyone knows what a fuzzbuster is right? It’s a nickname for a radar detector. Anyway, I was reading an article in Newsweek recently that talked about how sophisticated and diverse radar detectors were becoming.
Radar detectors are now not only detecting radar, but some of them are also detecting photo-enforcement areas. (Those are those areas where the local law enforcement have camera taking pictures of your license plate incase you do something wrong). Some of the more sophisticated models will warn you if you are when you are approaching such areas so you don’t try to run red lights. Other units have databases that will warn you if you are approaching “high risk” areas, places where accidents frequently occur. Finally, and this really twists my testes, there are those that will also warn you if an emergency vehicle is nearby, or when you are in a school zone!
Are they fucking kidding me? Here’s how you tell if you’re entering a school zone – pay attention to the fucking signs!! I haven’t entered a school zone yet that didn’t have a four-foot high sign announcing the fact. As far as detecting emergency vehicles, don’t the fucking sirens give it away? How about people stop talking on their cell phones or worrying about what XM the want, and stop buying and using stupid, unnecessary toys and pay attention to what’s going on around them while their driving.
Work Dress Code
My company has a pretty liberal dress code, we can wear jeans every day if we choose, sneakers, they have shorts & t-shirts days, etc. One thing that’s not allowed, unless it’s a designated day are hooded sweatshirts. Presumably this is because they do not lend to a professional look.
Having said that, our company is also the type that likes to crank the air conditioning to levels that would be better suited to chilling beer. To allow the women (and sorry ladies, y’all are always the one who are cold) to keep warm, the company allows people to keep and wrap themselves with blankets. One person even has a purple bathrobe she keeps at her desk. It just occurred to me recently, how does allowing people to wear bathrobes or wrap themselves up like a reservation Indian sitting in front of a cigar store look professional? Why not just allow sweatshirts, hooded or not?
Or is it just me who thinks this is a silly rule?
White Guys Dressing Badly
I recently saw a 40-year oldish white guy in my local Wawa (and we all know Wawa is an Indian word for “sells lots of coffee and cigarettes”) who was wearing black sneakers, black nylon socks, tan shorts, sleeveless t-shirt, baseball hat on backwards, Blues Brothers sunglasses, a 2-day growth of beard, AND he had no chest to speak of with a beer belly. He thought he was a hip urban dude and had it going on.
The things you see when you don’t have low yield nuclear device.
This ends the entertainment portion of your day. Now get back to work.
