Nice. What's the date, looks like Sept 2, 1985?

@Kevin 1995.

@Lockjaw did i totally miss your explanation or did i comment before it was there? Because i'm going to be super-embarrassed if i completely missed it.

oh, that's great!

I miss Mr. Zip. The USPS should bring him back.

Shouldn't this have the ZIP of the office you started at?

@Kevin I think you just beat me to it.

@ardgedee Agreed!
@sirhc The place where I started didn't have a zip code. I typed in addresses for mail the automation couldn't read. It was a tough 12.5 years.

FINALLY

"teamed up" like they aren't leftists too

@Kevin Don't wanna "actually..." a good joke, but Satanism (as practiced in the US, anyway) tends to be ideologically more in line with small-l libertarianism, and some of the more notorious neonazi-styled groups in the northern midwest in the past forty years have been involved in paganism based in Nordic myth.

@ardgedee not based in Nordic myth so much as "combining their white supremacist ideology with a fantasy they have about Vikings." It's based in Norse myth about as closely as "prosperity gospel" is based in the gospels of Jesus.

@caitlinburke fair nuf

If inclusion, democracy, and freedom from religion = "destruction of America" then I wish they would hurry the heck up!

@ardgedee ah true, think i'd put that out of mind. I was think the Church of Satan was more lefty but i haven't been paying attention, i can see them being more libertarian (with the actual libertarian party being absolutely aghast at them, hahahah)

There's a couple different major strains of Cultural Satanism is part of the confusing thing. II'd say it's generally right as ard says to recognize a libertarian/anarchist streak in organize Satanism in general, but IIRC the sort of ehhh libertarian wankery is more of an old-school LeVay-ian Church of Satan thing and contemporary righteous political trolling is more of a Satanic Temple thing.

In any case, yeah, there's nothing wrong with Norse mythology and paganism in general, there's just some Nazi fucks who want to think of Ultima Thule and blue-eyed Thor as their aryan preceptors, and as always the response is Fuck Nazis.

the best ever death metal band out of mltshp

@Kevin Yeah, I think of Satanic Temple is more like a performance art project on behalf of social justice, but they're also aware of what they're getting into so if they're going to claim they're a religious org, I'm OK with that.

But otherwise most of the Satanists I've crossed paths with weren't particularly interested in thinking deeply about the tenets of their belief beyond the part where it green lighted their desire to do what they wanted to do.

@joshmillard yeah, everything you said exactly.

I'm too sexy for my shirt - too sexy for my shirt - so sexy it hurts

to be fair, the manager didn't actually ask them to go in, it's just a status update

@wjcstp that's certainly what I'd say if the manager's boss called me in to talk to me about my "attitude problem"

@caitlinburke The latest semantic thing making me crazy at work (mostly) is people asking for things without asking. Like, "it would be great if this were updated to say X" instead of "can you update this part to X?". These kind of passive requests are getting on my nerves.

I've now settled on "sure I'll add it to the backlog". I got buried with those too, and things then don't happen. It's easyish to make the point that it's hard to work if you can't manage and prioritise the work appropriately. Your proximity does not translate to priority.

Um apparently today I also learned that Gary Cole, the man who played Bill Lundbergh in Office Space, is also the voice of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.

This is a great example of what I like to call the "managerial passive voice," usually followed by a awkward pause extending long enough that you will volunteer for whatever just to relieve the pause.

@zeitgeist and to that manager, I say "good luck with that" :D

yep. I'd think the other place that conversation should go is "obviously you need more people."

I'm very glad to have a job now where this doesn't happen, but when I did I'd usually just reply with a selfie of myself in the mountains.

@jfaster wow, my spirit bows down to you!

@caitlinburke I had very powerful "fuck you fire me" energy for several years.

This'll be the day that he died, you know

How's the ride, Hank?

Quiet.

The Pontiac Aztek we deserved.

Detach saucer section

Looks a little like the Homer

Rick Sanchez, you sonofabitch. I'm in.

It’s the trip, not the destination that’s important.

Weekend plans

I almost drove to Provo once, with a friend, for "no reason," instead of The Park City Art Festival. Not wanting to visit Provo we went home. The key fit the front lock. So we went in. And, bonus, it was our house!

Excellent!

Added to mltshp poker shk

well done!

Charcuterie is a fancy way to say Lunchable.

And you spill the mustard and say fuckitwhatever

just pick up the fridge and shake it out over a board

Hot damn! Ze sixth dimension!

The resemblance is uncanny.

This kind of perversion of history could only come from someone riding the aboveground railroad.

@sirhc 'Aboveground railroad'? More like fuckaround railroad.

Steampunk Matrix Trinity

@GroggyGrognard A+

i had one of these!

As did I. Damn.

And myself. And I’d like to point out that the middle and bottom floors never had any cars. Odd.

Crank… “ding!” Crank…. “Ding!” Crank… “Ding!”

@jayallon I could never fit my hands through those floors.

Oh wow, I had this too

How about the barn with the "aaaaaOOOOOgaaaa" door noise maker?

You bet your ass I had one

The detail that slays me still is the little multicolored stone walkway.

Hell yes I had this

Yes! Had one and loved it

This thing was way more fun than it should have been. I loved the way the stop signs moved out of the way.

Had it too!

Also had this!

We were going to let our son play with the Little People my wife still has from when she was a kid (the new ones are kind of lame - more "realistic, weird proportions). Then I looked into why they changed. Apparently the classic Little People were sized and shaped to be perfect choking hazards.

Yep, me too. 'Twas the best!

Loved it

Been cleaning out my childhood house this month, so many little people with faces chewed off by mice. (did not have this one, wanted this one, but did have the castle, it was cool)

It's like jpeg bitrot, but for words

Upa You, Pam!

Come, they told me, Plea Upa You Pam

Tell me, Mr. Papshmir, in all the world, who is the most effective assassin?
