JMU Dukes–legendary football power!
I’m a JMU alum living in Iowa–I’m praying for a JMU-Northern Iowa
playoff game, so I can actually talk smack about I-AA football without people looking at me like I have two heads.

Figgins for Konerko, anyone?
Dear Lord No. Figgins is hot garbage but if they want to free up some salary and get Manny. Im all for it.

I’m fine, thank you for asking. How are you The Big Lead?

interesting stats on wasting time, def #1 and #3 are most for me. work in an office that is 75% women and most over the age of 40. so not a lot of socializing going on there.
October 29th, 2008 at 8:30 am
I consider working as wasting valuable “me” time.
October 29th, 2008 at 8:30 am
When I’m blogging, I often find myself wasting time working.

prof – what year did you grad?
October 29th, 2008 at 8:32 am
watching TV and surfing the net are part of the job. so no wasting time here!
October 29th, 2008 at 8:34 am
This may be my favorite part of that article.
Reminds me of that office episode a couple weeks ago where jim had the stopwatch of Dwight all day.
October 29th, 2008 at 8:35 am
my last gig: 90% of the office was women in the 22-35 range. that’s not including the half a dozen female interns.

that was sick
October 29th, 2008 at 8:36 am
TBl; you’re right. What was I thinking??
October 29th, 2008 at 8:40 am
“You think marijuana’s the safer drug?†Watson asked.
“I have 30 years’ experience,†Chapman replied.
As someone who once practiced criminal law, this is the best answer I have ever heard from a defendant at sentencing.

just rub it in tbl why dont ya
October 29th, 2008 at 8:50 am
when did you practice criminal law, CR?
October 29th, 2008 at 8:52 am
5 years ago.
October 29th, 2008 at 8:53 am
@TBL: 1994. Back in the Rip Scherer Era of JMU football.
October 29th, 2008 at 8:53 am
And the Lefty Driesell/Ralph Sampson as Assistant Era in hoops. High comedy.

I drove up to the Taco Bell windown yesterday only to find out my power windows had stopped working. It was the worst experience I have had in a long while. Well at least since last Saturday anyway.
October 29th, 2008 at 8:57 am
That’s a fire hazard.
October 29th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Wow, you should try the technology field, 5% women, 100% ugly.

- Oh man, that’s hilarious. If it makes you feel any better I was once on the Dan Ryan in Chicago and for some reason the horn on my old car just got stuck. People were flipping me off left and right while I was trying to open the glove box and figure out which damn fuse controlled the horn. Turns out it was the same one that controls the radio, so then I couldn’t even turn that up to block out the people cussing me out because they thought I was on drugs.
October 29th, 2008 at 9:05 am
Maggs-That is funny
October 29th, 2008 at 9:06 am
coop, that sounds eerily similiar to the engineering field.
October 29th, 2008 at 9:08 am
taco bell was rocking Yesterday the Drive Thru was full and Homeless people were in the middle of the street. One guy was stoppin in each lane staring people down and daring them to hit him. This is why I dont give homless people in FLA. shit.

This is why I dont give homless people in FLA. shit.
A friend of mine came to South beach from NJ two weeks ago and we talked about how many homeless people there are down here. It is out of control down here. They are on EVERY exit ramp of certain expressways, waiting for you when you pull down the ramp and hit the light to turn.
There’s a guy in Boca who is sorta well known because he’s always dressed kinda nice (Cole Haan shoes, etc)
Looking forward to January when i can start to having my wealth redistributed.

maggs:

October 29th, 2008 at 9:24 am
JPQ-Its like that episode of south park.
Looking forward to January when i can start to having my wealth redistributed.
Your Wealth is being redistributed right now to the wealthier, this time you will be helping your community. Good Job.

mmonast – sarah palin in Anderson Arena today. Freddy the Falcon is there too.

Tampa: I got this joke emailed to me the other day. Pretty good…
Yesterday on my way to lunch, I passed one of the homeless guys in that area, with a sign that read ‘Vote Obama, I need the money.’
Once in the restaurant, my waiter had on an ‘Obama 08′ tee shirt.
When the bill came, I decided not to tip the waiter and explained to him while he had given me exceptional service, that his tee shirt made me feel he obviously believes in Senator Obama’s plan to redistribute the wealth. I told him I was going to redistribute his tip to someone that I deemed more in need–the homeless guy outside. He stood there in disbelief and angrily stormed away.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $3 and told him to thank the waiter inside, as I had decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy looked at me in disbelief but seemed grateful.
As I got in my truck, I realized this rather unscientific redistribution experiment had left the homeless guy quite happy for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was ticked that I gave away the money he did earn.
Well, I guess this redistribution of wealth is going to take a while to catch on, at least with those doing the work
October 29th, 2008 at 9:32 am
Coolrick: I hit the jackpot today. I have Obama here in Fort Lauderdale RIGHT NOW and McCain in Miami RIGHT NOW. Think they wanna win Florida??-lol
October 29th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Hey jpq, ever heard this joke. Pretty funny.
October 29th, 2008 at 9:33 am
JPQ- Horrible joke I bet some people really believe this.
October 29th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Am I late to the party, or has someone else already made the New Jersey Nyets joke?
October 29th, 2008 at 9:34 am
jpq, that joke is horrible.
I’m not offended as a waiter, I’m offended as a comedian.
October 29th, 2008 at 9:37 am
tampa: read cool rick’s joke. it’s better and more accurate, unfortunately
October 29th, 2008 at 9:42 am

JPQ- That has to be one of my favorite skits from that show.
October 29th, 2008 at 9:55 am
They should rerun that show now. I watched it once or twice when it was first on.
HBO is pulling out OZ episodes again. The guy who wrote it went to my high school and met him before. I think that entire cast has co-starred on another show since that show ended (most on L&O). That show was intense.
