It's dangerous to skim. I am now confused as to why anyone would need to provide contraceptives to an aircraft carrier.

I think I need an aspirin.
There are much better contraceptives. I hear it works well if you just stand up and dance around afterward. Duuuuuuuuuude. Headaches are the contraceptives. No, you keep it (the aspirin) between your knees. Works best if both partners use it. Oh-oh. Somebody's been listening to the Republicans again. Unrelated-
You know those people who walk in 30-minutes late to the movie and keep asking you what happened, why did they do that, what does that mean?
Hey. HEY!!! I haven't been reading the fora much this week. Can somebody tell me what's going on? Have I missed anything? What are all these one-offs about? Are people really mad, or is it just a bunch of inside jokes? Anybody? A little help here, please? Aw, c'mon, guys!!! The PROPER question is, Did I miss anything important?Nothing Aristophanes didn't cover, oh, a couple of thousand years ago. |

I believe you have confused your Facebook status update box with the CHE fora "start a new topic" box.

What is with the outbreak of pugnacity and self-righteousness and "someone is WRONG on the internet!"-itis around here lately?

And nosey-parkers! Why can't anybody mind their own damn business? Where are all the buttinskis coming from? Everybody is all up in everybody else's grill posting threads about stuff that has nothing to do with them.
I hope I never work with any of those f***ers. They would shred up my last nerve.
(Am I just irritable, or are there a lot of annoying people around here recently?)

Could my pet ownership be a factor in whether I'm hired or not? What about my sushi preferences? Is it OK if I have hardwood floors in my house, or will they not hire me? Is wondering about the hardwood floor question one of those times when it's appropriate to call the SCC?

That depends on how far your pet's commute will be. |

Huh. Well, take a turn if you like. <not directly related to anything except me relinquishing the mean title> Oh, honey. That's not busy. If that's your definition of a busy week that needs help to cope, then you would die just hearing about the two weeks I have planned. |

Things I will judge you by (jk):
Skypeappeal
Your commute divided by the number of residences you have
Your citation index
Trendiness of your dissertation
Z score of the difference between your age and thirty
Number of times you drop famous person's name in your job talk
Number of categories of diversity you can think up in a minute
Tact, as reflected by having googled me and your subsequent effusive praise
Work-family balance (best answer: what family?)

That's a much better list than mine. I only judge people by whether they (pretend to) find my jokes funny.
