I just had a crazy idea.

Superman - Jon Hamm

Better idea: Lex Luthor - Jon Hamm.

[transmogrifier]

Best idea - no more Superman films, ever.

Well, I'm with you there, but more Funny or Die sketches please.

I would probably inform them about religion, too, in the same manner that I'll tell them about the loch ness monster.

"Son, there's this thing... There's this place where people go to to meet similar-minded people, tell tales that have never been proven, but the stories are enough for people to believe in, anyway. They also buy a lot of merchandise that express how much they love the stories."

Yeah, I can't ever remember buying stuff due to being a Christian. So that's not universally accurate.

[Ezee E]

I'm guessing things like Crucifixes, Rosaries, etc would work for that.

Like the Loch Ness, some of those stories are pretty awesome.

I managed to get my semi-working hot water heater to light for long enough to take a warm shower, and let me tell you something, buddy: if, right now, a warm shower could suddenly become corporeal and ask me to marry him, I would scream "YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!" as I leapt into his warm-watery arms.

I don't understand why water heaters are so freakin hard to light in the first place. Sure, if you have those foot-long matches, but nobody's actually got those.

My pilot is only an inch or so inside the box, probably because it's a tankless heater. And my igniter works fine. The problem is (apparently) that the heater is automatically shutting of the gas, because one of the safety controls is malfunctioning and convincing the heater that it's unsafe to operate. No gas: the pilot goes out, and my water is cold.

Up in Seattle I see a ton of atheist merch, too. Really silly.

I agree it's stupid. Pushing ones beliefs on others with material objects is so crass and shallow. Personally I choose to show my beliefs in a more permanent manner. I tattooed God is Dead along the shaft of my penis.

So it just reads "God..." during penetration?

This conversation is weird considering what page we are on.

I'm sorry, I have to give you rep for that. That's hilarious.

I wouldn't say that I'm a bad liar. Generally.



But I have a really hard time saying "Congratulations!" when I want to say "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING???"

it is page 500 for me.

Awwww, someone's having a baby!

So I'm going to be out of a job as of mid-September. The brewery is going out of business.

I've already started job-hunting.

I had an interview on Thursday morning to work at a video store. They wouldn't hire me because I have earrings.

Seriously? It's a video store, I'm not applying to be a law clerk.

[Mara]

...well, yes, actually. But I also have the same problems with engagements occasionally.

This one looks fine on paper-- married, and it's a second child-- but the couple have been feuding and the husband is kind of being a douche. But they're naming the new baby after him, so everything should be fine!!!

Best case scenario is to always remove jewelry and cover up tattoos for interviews. If hired, find out the policy and adjust accordingly. You'll find that many places don't like either.

I don't know what laws are like in the states, but most tattoos and piercings are covered by anti-discrimination laws now.

Like I said, I would understand if I was applying to work in a law office or at City Hall or something. But it's a fucking video store.

And I can't just take out my earrings. They're guaged. I would have huge gaping holes.

You can't have tattoos or piercings while working at a movie theater either. Unless you're applying for Hot Topic, most companies care about this stuff.

Again, I think it's different in Canada.

There are laws that say unless you have something offensive tattoo'd on your face or something like that, they can't discriminate.

[Sycophant]

I cannot find any evidence of there being such a law in Canada. If there is, you should complain to authorities.

I once didn't get a job at a hotel because I didn't want to shave my beard.
