Our cats do too. Especially Gizmo right now because she’s in the process of growing out a lion cut she had last month.

Is it sad that the highlight of my day so far is that Clancy Brown liked my response to his tweet?

So I’m watching Cars 2 (which I had skipped as general opinions were poor) and was stuck with a really disturbing thought:
The “bad guys” which are supposed to have a lot of ‘bond villian’ vibes in general are the “Lemons” or cars that are poorly designed or just don’t work right. If we translate this to humanity, does this sound like a horrible Bond plot line of a gang who requires birth defects for members?
Or am I just overthinking this one?
I think it was just the standard process of finding a group that’s downtrodden and doesn’t feel respected, then offering them a chance to get respect. You can substitute a lot of things for poorly designed/don’t work right, birth defects, etc., and have the same situation. Black Lives Matter is an example that’s more positive with the intent of bringing attention to what’s going on rather than having a criminal motive.
If you separate it into poorly designed instead of including don’t work right, this would be another misdirected movement. Instead of going back to their designers (creators) and saying, “Why did you make me this way? You have to make this right?”, it’s focused into a power grab.
What’s with the current crop of movies glorifying villains (such as Harley Quinn as example)? Isn’t that setting a bad example for some kids who may be influenced negatively by this?

I hope the new Taylor Swift album has a sequel to ‘betty’ where she comes to her senses and abandons James in the desert like she should have left him on the doorstep.
I hate James so much. You can’t accidentally sleep next to someone else all summer long, asshole.
This has bothered me for five months.

I like my new job well enough except for one thing. Our help desk seems to be full of Georges. A lot of tickets get sent to desktop that they should have been able to resolve.

Has anyone noticed that ads by Microsoft about building apps have a picture that looks like the playfield from the video game Q*bert?
There’s a real estate company around here called “Collective”. I so want to slap a few “The Borg” stickers on their signs.

We’re trying to find out why Networks is the bottom of every escalation list.
Reminds me of someone who wanted to apply at a company called ‘Vecna’ and ask about various body parts.
(Explaining the joke: in Dungeons & Dragons lore, Vecna is a lich (explaining the explaining the joke: a powerful post-living wizard) who is best known for various body parts being left around the way some people lose sunglasses. If you’re missing an eye, finding the Eye of Vecna is a great replacement offering enhanced vision and other powers, at least until Vecna eats your soul. )

Yeah, I remember hearing about a campaign where they went in search of the Dick of Vecna. Not entirely sure what the magical powers were supposed to be (and pretty sure I don’t want to know…).
I think we may have finally discovered how to get SolarWinds sales teams from calling.
The ‘Head of Vecna’ is the canonical WTF and is a bit more PG than lower attachments.
For the record, the Die, Vecna, Die adventure has a series of increasingly silly minor Vecna-parts as the climax basically requires all the PCs to have taken on some element of Vecna to be able to fight Vecna. It’s not a particularly good adventure, but does have (IIRC) the Tongue of Vecna as well as several fingers and other random parts for those less willing to mutilate themselves for dubious super powers.

For the record, on a day where they’re having a terrible, horrible no-good day, I have in fact received sales spam from our Infoblox team. I’m sure it’s automatic but… ill-timed.
Oh, joy. Not only do websites play lots and lots and lots of ads when you try to read them, some of the ads are being interrupted to show a second ad, and when it’s done, the first ad continues from where it was interrupted.
Someone must have been channeling Xzibit. “Hey, I heard you like ads. I’m gonna insert an ad into your ad. It’s Adception!”
Or Kanye West: “I gonna let you finish this ad but first I gotta show you this other one.”
Ads? What are ads?

My ‘lab’ firewall at home is so picky I had to instruct my wife to skip the first few results in Google as they’re usually paid results that it blocks…
