Y u no firefox?
I don't like the way the forums look in IE7 at work. The faction icons are above people's names, and for people with no subscriptions, the "like" button is right above their avatar pic in a weird way.
Otherwise things look good, though.
Nekkid firefox? Oh hell yeah.
So..
whose knees do I break for keeping us from having lunch?
The job interview was not all that encouraging. The HR guy was great, and asked me good questions for which I had good answers.
The hiring manager, though, seemed utterly disinterested. In my meeting with him, he asked a few factual questions about my current work, talked about the job, and then sent me away. I have no idea how to regard that.

A lot of employers don't like you installing new software on work computers. IE comes with them default.

Not only do my employers not like it, they actively prevent it. We can't install anything on our computers.

At least they let you look at porn. :D
Oh joy of joys. A note in my mailbox from City Treasure Office to contact them. I guess it's about late property tax. At least I hope it is about property tax because I have no idea what else they would want from me.
I don't like this one.
Aberzombie's Really Grim Fairy Tales
The Princess Who Wanted to Learn Magic
Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Forlandia, there lived the beautiful and wise Princess Betsy. Living in a magical land of high fantasy, she became enamored of the dark arts, and wished to learn magic from the great sorcerer Henry. Her father the king objected, saying the wizard was far too dangerous. But she defied him and "I
sought the spellcaster."I will show you great magic," said Henry, "but at a price. First, you must attempt three tasks for me."
Princess Betsy agreed.
Her first task was to convince the people that her father was old and foolish, and that Henry should take his place as king. Although she tried and tried, however, the princess was unable to convince her people.
"It matters not," said Henry, "What is important is that you tried."
Betsy's next task was to show the people that she was a great and skilled warrior by defeating the evil troll Porkrun.
"But I am not such!" she protested. Whereupon Henry said, "But if you just believe that you are, then that confidence will win you through."
And so Princess Betsy challenged the evil Porkrun to a duel. Sadly, she proved unable to slay the beast, and he left her terribly wounded.
"It matters not," said Henry, "What is important is that you tried."
The final task was for the princess to cast an actual magical spell from an ancient book. She went with Henry to his laboratory. Standing before the lectern, she read aloud from an ancient text. Nothing happened.
"I've failed.", she wailed, "But please, great sorcerer, don't cast me aside."
"It matters not," said Henry, "What is important is that I lied. The words you read are but the final component of the great spell I have worked. Words to be read by the sacrifice."
And so saying, Henry plunged a dagger into Princess Betsy's chest, sacrificing her to nameless power, consigning her soul to the burning pits, and plunging the entire realm in a darkness ruled by his...

Aberzombie's Really Grim Fairy Tales
The Hero's Kiss
Once upon a time, there was a skilled young warrior named Albert who wanted nothing more than to be a hero. Unfortunately, he had no idea how to become a hero. And so, he went to the local wiseman to ask.
"Well," said the wiseman, "there are many ways to become a hero. You could slay a monster. You could defeat an evil wizard. You could go on a grand quest to recover a powerful relic. You could rescue a princess."
Albert considered those first few suggestions very unappealing. The last one he liked, however. So he asked the wiseman if he knew of any princesses who needed rescuing.
"Of course, I do. The Princess Yasmin was long ago cast into an enchanted sleep, and her body imprisoned in a tower deep in the Mystic's Forest. Only a kiss from a brave and noble soul can awaken her."
And so Albert journeyed through the land, battling monsters and overcoming challenges of wizard and weather. He found the Mystic's Forest, and braved its interior, at last coming to a great tower. Climbing to the top chamber, Albert came upon the beautiful maiden, fast asleep on grand bed. Parting the curtains, he bent his head and kissed her softly on the lips. As her eyes fluttered open and she took a deep breath, Albert collapsed against the bed post, clutching his chest.
"Oh, I'm sorry." said the woman, "Did you mistake me for Princess Yasmin? She's in the next tower over. I'm Princess Violet, the one who waits around pretending to be asleep, with poison on my lips."
And so, Albert died very painfully.
The End.
Sore treat got better. Instead I got a bit of runny nose.

I think this one was influenced too much by Once Upon a Time. It's far too serious.

I'm fairly proud of this one. It just sort of popped into my head and made me laugh.

Tongue a Bus! Tongue a Bus!
I think I just grossed myself out.
Yes, yes I did just gross myself out.
Impossible!
This explosion of Urizens pisses me off!

Beautiful - with the elimination of the archive threads, all of the FaWtL threads have come together in 6 of the 7 top spots when sorting the OTD forum by number of posts. Only that poser thread "Ask JJ all your questions here" thread breaks the string by sneaking into the #5 spot.
Awkwardish awkwardness of awkward people is awkward.

Is this an Urisine of the Apocalyse?
Anyway had a good night yesterday. Saw a couple of bands after work; would have been nice if there wasn't a 2 hour gap between the doors opening and the first band (or I had felt like drinking & getting Blitzed).
The first band was a local one & it was their first performance; they were very competent (In a Indie/Paradise Lost - way). Although the number of skinny boys there would be enough to sate [redacted] of college girls.
Then the main band came on and thus came out the 6'6" blokes to stand right in front of me. The band were crazy, with lots of improv off already insane music. Bo Ningen rock! \m/
AZ - awesome money savings.
10 year old "found footage" savings. bleh.
Wife was running Hot. Not that it's ever stopped me before........
Had to do something to the Urizens of the world.
