The internet is a wonderful place, full of knowledge and art, music and comedy…but best of all, the internet is a place where morons can express dumb, in capital letters.
Operation: Get the mug back
My wife’s old favorite tea mug was given to us by her parents. When I say “given to us” I mean we took it and they didn’t ask for it back. My wife started using a different mug and I started taking this one to work with me. It’s a Starbucks 2006 travel mug (the year is important), half ceramic half stainless steel with a black lid that has a closing sippy hole.
I have been without this mug for months now, and I spotted it this morning in a building within our organization, under a different department. I’m positive it’s ours because every time I washed it I refrained from scraping off the 1/4 of the label on the bottom of the mug. The other people in the building said one of the new guys had been using it regularly but it was probably just in the cabinet there.
I have a plan to get my mug back. I’m going to find him in the building and if he’s using the mug I’ll ask when he bought that. If he says he just found it, I’ll kindly explain the situation and ask for it back. If he says any time after 2006-2007 when these mugs went out of production, I’ll smack him in the face. Then I’ll say “Does it have a lid?” and when he says “nope, just a regular mug”, I’ll put the lid on it, slap him in the face again, and take my mug back.
Either way, I get my mug back. today is a good day.
Me: (walking poorly on one good foot and one bad foot to the coffee maker)

Me: Could you just email that link to me…?
Boss: Did you not hear it?
Me: …
Nef…you can just suck it.
Being the mage in charge of pulling Nef’s adds in phase 1 is a pain in the brain. But a dead Nefarian is satisfying enough to me to make up for the stress levels I just experienced. Huzzah! T4W Thursday!
Wow..this kind of stupid stupefies me.
So let’s get a hypothetical here: Let’s say a person works in a position of authority and holds said position for about 10 years. One day, this person is transferred by the higher authority and another person is brought in to take the former’s place. The friendly IT staff is asked to go get the files off the former’s computer so the latter can have access to the last decade of work in the department that is now his. The former then deletes all the files from the single folder that contained them all. Why? Spite. Then, when we catch the former in the act of deleting it all, the claim is made that something is wrong with the computer.
Ok, in this hypo, let’s consider the problems with this scenario:
1) they weren’t the former’s files to begin with.
2) i can produce timestamps proving what the former did
3) stupidity only looks worse when brought to light.
How can someone be so stupid? Honestly..
pretty much sums up what’s happened to activision-blizzard these days.
Just saw Harry Potter 7.2
Not enough time to write what I thought of this film besides a big thank you to the creators for ending the series as well as they could.
This is a post for making fun of the trailers!
Smurfs - Thank you for creating the world’s first live-action child-murder caught on film. Thank you especially for putting George Lopez and Neil Patrick Harris in it so people know to avoid paying for it.
Dark Knight Rises - This film is about buildings breaking apart and Gary Oldman eating a pillow, apparently.
Happy Feet 2 - Really?
That one about the greeks? or something? Immortals? Legendary? Some other word that doesn’t describe this film? - From the producers of 300 comes “Not as good as 300 though just as full of slow-motion camera action”
David Christmas? Frank Christmas? The polar bear one with the New Zealander for whatever reason - that pretty much sums it up.
Why the Game of Thrones theme song was created. Period.
