Last time I looked at my recommended pages on Facebook, they were suggesting funeral homes, tombstone engraving, Jack Daniel's, and Russian mail-order brides. Today, apparently, I'm supposed to be in the mood for three different brands of golf supplies, gay porn, and the movie 'Tron'. I don't know who Facebook thinks I am, but it needs to stop changing its mind like that.
You actually get porn ads on Facebook? I've never gotten that.

Facebook sounds weird, but not in a good way.

Affirmative. My sister loves to give me a hard time about this. I'm still not sharing the details on the web.

Aberzombie wrote:The whole microwave thing takes me back though. My folks got their first microwave when I was a kid. Clunky thing by today's standards. Flip dial timer (like the old clocks), and a handle to open and close it, not a button. But that thing was one tough appliance.
Eventually the handle broke off and we had to use a screw driver to open and close it. At one point we moved it to the small summer home we had in Bay St. Louis, MS. It stayed there for years (until we sold the place), then my brother took it to his hunting camp in south Louisiana. That place got taken out by a hurricane. The microwave is probably sitting on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico even as we speak.
Our first microwave in the 70's was an Amana Radar Range. The thing weighed a ton and could probably stop small arms fire. I think that thing worked for about 20 years. It died with an actual mushroom cloud of smoke when it blew after getting dropped in the snow.
I miss things that last.
I think the first microwaves appeard in friends houses in the late 80s, we bought our first one in the middle of the 90s

People are mean and inconsiderate on the Intertoobz?
I think the LPM has a solid theory on this. People are more likely to be douchebags on the internet because it harder to knock someone's teeth out over the internet.

Part of me was hoping that the article Treppa linked would have a comments section. You know people would be all over that, just for the irony.

On the way back to work I stopped for a red light and this douche in a PGW (gas company) truck next to me basically did a rolling stop and kept right on going. Later, he was ahead of me but in the opposite lane as we approached another red light. This time he cut in front of me at the last minute.
Needless to say, I'm going to be calling PGWs "How's my driving" phone line and reporting his truck number 4320YN.

I'm thankful to have never needed to do this, but those exist for a reason I imagine, and this is certainly proof if nothing else.
Let's hope his boss is more reasonable than he. Good luck.

Huzzah! Went out at lunchtime and picked up The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 bluray!! Only $16+change at Best Buy!!!
WOOT!!!!
Sadly, however, they did not have anymore of the special pack containing the collectible Joker figure.
please let me know how it is. The hipsters who have taken over the comic book store/business (to an extent) don't appreciate Frank Miller and his over the top violence.

Recommended pages. I get a lot of them, actually. Which is weird, because I've always found porn really boring. I think Facebook kind of assumes I'm exactly like a conglomeration of my friends, who are mostly gamers, gay, and/or artists. Unfortunately, while the first one is true, the second one is wrong, and the third one is marginal. So I get a lot of weird s%$~ showing up in my feed.

In regards to porn, I've always found it a lot more satisfying to rely on my own imagination.

Fun fact to note when discussin food: My iPhone tries to correct "Mmmm" as "Mammon." WTF are people talking about on their iPhones? I don't know whether that's awesome or terrifying.
Aren't you working in the field of finances (more or less)? Your phone just thinks you are speaking of your infernal master.

to be fair to all of his detractors, I must admit he makes r. Crumb look like mother theresa sometimes. But some of the things that have been said about him in criticism are either untrue or just plain ridiculous. He singlehandedly saved daredevil back in the 80s and saved batman from becoming a tasteless joke with his work. Yes, he'san ass . I would not enjoy a meal with him. But he IS talented, even if his stories do run into each other after a while.
