Circuit City: If you fire all your knowledgeable employees and lose 75% of your sales, you evidently get $1 million bonuses at the end of the year. I have GOT to get me one of these CEO gigs.

Freakin’ Hysterical Post …

This one deserves its own highlight. Suffice it to say that if you’re in a place where you can’t guffaw out loud, don’t go here quite yet.

“You’re the CEO of Palm, Inc.?”

31-Dec-07

A funny yet funny-sad-annoying support transaction with Palm, Inc.:
So I asked employee C11329 to be transfered to her manager. She told me she was the most senior person at Palm. I asked her again politely to transfer me to her manager. She told me she had none. I asked to be transfered to the person [...]

Waterboarding

31-Dec-07

A man waterboards himself:
Now, those of you who know me will know that I am both enamored of my own toughness and prone to hyperbole. The former, I feel that I am justifiably proud of. The latter may be a truth in many cases, but this is the simple fact:

“Fairytale of New York”: A Worldwide Popular Modern-Day Irish Folk Christmas Carol

27-Dec-07

So I just got introduced to “Fairytale of New York,” by the Pogues, featuring Kirsty McColl. Ironically enough, it was through Venture Bros.‘ Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend, which, if you know the song and then listen to their cover, is not the best introduction to the song’s melody (but charming in its own parodic [...]

Chuck Norris sues, says his tears no cancer cure - Yahoo! News
“Tough-guy actor and martial arts expert Chuck Norris sued publisher Penguin on Friday over a book he claims unfairly exploits his famous name, based on a satirical Internet list of ‘mythical facts’ about him.” Aaaaand … the fad’s dead.

I’ve been rewatching The West Wing and just got to the finale. Curious as to what was on the letter that Bartlet wrote to Santos, I googled, and found only a brief attempt [...]
