Actual IT Helpdesk Q and A

Caller: “Your wireless is attacking my laptop!”
Me: (relishing the image) “Sir, I assure you, we are not sending a platoon of laptop marines armed with wireless web-gear.”

Hey, what’s this e-mail in mOMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!

Congratulations John Wick
 
You have been selected as the winner of the Rush Snakes & Arrows 2008 Contest.  You have won meet and greet privileges for you and a guest at the concert on 5-1-08 at the Cricket Wireless Pavilion in Phoenix, AZ. You are also now in the running to win one of 5 tour books autographed by the band.

So, you are the Attorney General…

There’s a child care national chain, you see. They’ve got hundreds of thousands of “shops” all across the country. The President of the chain discovers that thousands of his employees are sexually mollesting children. Thousands. And what does he do? He uses the profits from his company to pay off the families and move the abusers to a different store in a different state.

Now answer me this. If you were the Attorney General of the United States and you found out this was going on, what would you do?

Remember, the President of this company has been doing this for years. Decades. DECADES. He’s been hiding and protecting and defending child molestors.

You’re the Attorney General of the United States. You can ensure this man spends the rest of his life in prison. Would you prosecute?

Of course you would.

Now, the only question we have to answer is this. Why won’t the Attorney General do his job and arrest the Pope the second he sets foot on American soil?

Poe’s Law

I only recently discovered this particular meme. I thought I’d share.

Poe’s Law
Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won’t mistake for the real thing.”

In other words, No matter how bizzare, outrageous, or just plain idiotic a parody of a Fundamentalist may seem, there will always be someone who cannot tell that it is a parody, having seen similar REAL ideas from real religious/political Fundamentalists. 

Expelled Exposed

Hey folks.

Here’s a website that takes a long, hard and honest look at the forthcoming trainwreck of a propaganda movie called Expelled.

Go check it out.

 

LARP Experiment, Part 3

I went to a troupe game last night. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any of the contact information for anyone–not even a website. Got news of the game from Smitty. Had fun. Didn’t get fucked with or killed. 

Lots of folks. Easily quadruple the number at the other game. If someone was at the game last night, can they let me know how to contact the ST?
