Now of course we all know this is bullshittery, probably sent by someone who obviously thinks I am too retarded to realize that his email is not @microsoft.com but hetnet.nl (Netherlands I think, not sure). I just thought I would share. I get these about every day but this one, being from MS, stood out.

As you may be able to tell from this shot, I love me some World of Warcraft.

I received the Wacom Intuos 3 with my commission for landing my former employer a $40K job. I love my Copperhead mouse.

I try to keep my client paperwork to a minimum but I have found over the years to cover my ass with a hard copy of all contracts, change logs and approved proofs. I also keep a small stack of various magazines on tattoos, music, art, Photoshop User, etc around for inspiration.

More magazines and stuff. I really love my back issues of ImagineFX. I just wish I had a current subscription. Christmas gift idea *hint* *hint*. I also have a few business and drawing books and my WoW game boxes.

I have a slightly unnatural love of Sharpies. I have lots.

I have quite a few books on quite a few topics. This is just a smattering of them. I also like to keep my brother and sisters close.

Assuming I have no other options, how inappropriate is it to take my son to meetings?

Keep in mind I don’t deal with many large, stuffy CEOs. Mostly local, mom and pop, small businesses at the moment. We can’t currently afford daycare. No available grandparents nearby either.

I am looking for some advice and ideas on how to handle this situation. Thank you!

The Drive-Thru Asshole: I don’t eat fast food anymore but I do go through the drive-thru on occasion for Chrissy. I am amazed at the quatity of assholes I come into contact with. I realize slinging burgers, or in today’s case tacos, may not be where you saw yourself now that your 25 but don’t take that shit out on me. I worked a drive-thru once. I wasn’t an asshole. It’s a job and if you can’t be at your job without being an asshole then it’s time to either find a new one.

The Traffic Asshole: This asshole doesn’t look where he is going, doesn’t use turn signals or abide by traffic control devices like stop lights all while doing 10 mph under the speed limit. When he almost causes an accident, and he will, two of them today, he acts like YOU are in the wrong. What an asshole.

The Immature Asshole: This asshole’s assholiness can be chalked up to age sometimes but more often than not it is someone pushing 30. This asshole is as selfish and conceded as ot gets. He usually fronts to make himself look hardcore in front of his friends but then cries himself to sleep at night. So I guess that would just make him a sad asshole.

BTW if you are one that likes counting games, I said some variation of “asshole” 16 times. Since you made it through this post, or just scrolled to the bottom, I will reward you with a scene from the funniest sci-fi comedies ever. Enjoy.

Welcome back. I couldn’t care less if a teenager wants to get down all Jackass style but what gets me is the mother. She blames You Tube, at least in part, for her sons injuries. Really? It couldn’t be that parents just basically suck nowadays right? It couldn’t be that parents aren’t involved in thier kid’s lives much less teaching them basic common sense like dont set yourself on fire, it hurts. It has to be the media in some form. I suppose I’m not surprised. I mean it has been that way for years. Your kid shoots up his school? It’s the heavy metal that’s to blame. Your kid jacks a car? Ban the video games! Your kid’s just a degenerate fuck-up in general? Must be the violent movies causing that.

It’s not always bad parenting though that causes kids to go off course. Sometimes there are just a few screws loose and parent shouldn’t beat themselves up for it. I realize that it’s easier to blame the music, movies, video games and now, You Tube for your kid’s retarded behavior but sometimes we all need to accept reality that it’s possible your kid is just stupid.

BTW, here is the video that inspired the kid to flick his Bic. If after watching you are moved to dowse yourself in gasoline and go all Human Torch then please do it quietly.

8/13/09 The video was taken down by You Tube today due to violation of something… I don’t know.

Regardless, this is pretty cool. over 4,000,000 dominoes. Yes, four million. This took a whole lotta patience to pull off and I bet more than a couple people had their lives threatened for walking too close to the set up.
