Today we remember those brave credit unioners who gave their lives to protect our freedom to pay slightly lower fees that we would at a normal bank. On this date in 1643, the Credit Union rebels won a decisive victory against the armies of the Five Jew Bankers, thus legitimizing themselves as banking institutions. Or something like that.

In honor of that great victory for the consumer, the credit union rented a popcorn popper and is giving out free bags to anyone passing by. So far, I've passed by three times today. Stick that in your taco salad bowl and smoke it.



Cheers: To the Credit Union for their free popcorn. I would kill a man, in front of his own mother, for another bag of popcorn.

Jeers: To me. I feel bad that I made a comment a few weeks ago about we needed to lay off a few people to free up spots in the parking lot. Someone in my department must be a mole.

Cheers: To the Mayor of Roanoke, VA. He called Toledo's mayor to apologize for the rioting, since Bill White, who organized the National Socialist Movement's protest last weekend, is a Roanoke resident.

Cheers: To the coffee shop upstairs in the hospital. They're selling apple fritters for $.75.

Cheers: To Remote Desktop Connection from Microsoft. My macMini just became very useful.

Jeers: To Novell. My password should not expire when I log in using RDC. The only two things Novell does well are suck and lose market share.

Cheers: To my GF. She came by last night and got me out of a mental funk I've been stuck in. She's kicks ass at Katamari Damacy.

Jeers: To people driving with other people lodged in their windshield. Seriously, why is this a chronic problem all of a sudden?

Jeers: To London Assembly transport spokesman Murad Qureshi. Before bitching about how UK diplomats in NYC have to pay the toll on the Brooklyn Bridge, first make sure there is a toll on the Brooklyn Bridge. Who have the diplomats been giving money to every morning during their commute?

SuperUltraJeers: To the BBC. Those bastards updated the story to make the following line by Mr. Qureshi sound like he knows what he's talking about: "The charge isn't dissimilar to what we would pay to go into Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge." is now, "The charge isn't dissimilar to what we would pay to go into Manhattan via bridges and roads." Still not entirely accurate (Try and find a road into Manhattan), but less dumb.

Cheers: To the black man. Thanks for taking it all in stride.

Cheers: To my purchase of chicken salad and rolls. That kicks ass.

Jeers: To not knowing if I'm going to have a job at the end of the day. Fuck. The layoffs keep coming. We're one of the few departments that hasn't been hit. As of right now, my email works, which is a good sign.

Jeers: To my oil plug. Whoever changed the oil last time stripped the plug bare, meaning I've got to find a way to get it off before I can get an oil change.

Cheers: To my fridge. It's keeping a bottle of Maker's Mark chilled for my arrival.

Jeers: To the maintenance guys at my apartment complex. Stop trying to recaulk my tub by putting more caulk on top of the old caulk.

Cheers: To the kids upstairs. They moved out, which means I won't be awakened at 9AM every weekend by their morning five mile jog around their apartment.

Jeers: To the mom from upstairs. She moved out, along with her fine bootay.

Jeers: To the door. It's preventing me from hearing the meeting about the layoffs.

Cheers: To having a job. No one in our department got cut today. Tomorrow is a different matter.

Jeers: To support calls from Geripsych. I get uncomfortable hearing the background noise from the calls, so I can't imagine having to work up there. Or don't want to.

Jeers: To the NC State's student paper, The Technician. They got pissed about the Mexi-Cam when they should have used their paper to call for the resignation of Chuck Amato. Or keep him. I don't really care about NCSU.

Cheers: To going home. Home rocks.

Every time my email stops working, I figure that I'm being laid off. Of course, since we use Exchange Server, this happens every few weeks.

Three Cheers for Enterprise Class Applications.

Windshields and impalement by chuckles (4.00 / 1) #2 Thu Oct 20, 2005 at 06:02:34 PM EST
The article states that the man was impaled by the windshield, but it makes more sense that the windshield was impaled by the man. The windshield was presumably installed on the car that hit him, not jutting out at a right angle from the grill. Am I right?

With cars like the Scion xB and the Honda Pilot, it seems car makers are trying to out ugly each other, so a windshield sticking out of the front end can't be ruled out.

since when, dear ISG, is Mexican a slur?  That NC Hurricane "Mexi-cam" thing is, well, maybe I'm just too fucking white to get it.

This is the first mention of cell phone girl being upgraded to GF.

You know what is funny? I voted for McCain in 2000 and Obama in 2008. (And let's not forget Edwards in 1998.)

Jeers:  to me being a copy-cat sellout!
