   Bless you. Norton calling him "Riff Raff" from Rocky Horror was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Ventura walking out while Norton mocked him...fuckin' hysterical.

Samuel L. Jackson.  Those Capitol One credit card commercials are pushing me over the edge.

Samuel L. Jackson.  Those Capitol One credit card commercials are pushing me over the edge.

he should team up with winkler and do a all commercial remake of "pulp fiction" starring reverse mortgages and capital one credit cards.
a cameo by travolta on a tv in the background, with travolta doing "saturday night fever cause i got me a capitol one credit card" and another with ron howard doing "happy days with my reverse mortgage, just like mayberry" . 

memorable quotes could be:
"we cool? yea we cool with a new reverse mortgage and a capitol one credit card!"
"this is a commercial"
"royale with cheese bough on my capitol one credit card"
"you shot marvin in the face!  its ok we can get a reverse mortgage to bail you out and bury marvin"

...and the way they leave their sexy undies scattered around my room leaving me to figure out which are whose.

Walking aimlessly through Home Depot to find something as simple as sandpaper. Fortunately, I had a nice buzz going on from a margarita and was amused as well as annoyed. The guys in their little orange aprons thought it was cute when I failed to answer 'Is this for your saw?' And then I had to wander away and seek out where my husband went. When I wandered back they asked me more questions about the type of saw. Etc etc.

I just need a piece of sandpaper! And I could t remember what kind of saw my husband bought and who knew there were so many! I thought we were just going to buy the old Grizzly Adams kind of saw. I was overwhelmed.

So another sweet man in an apron sent me to the paint aisle. Got the damn piece of sandpaper.

It was exhausting.

(Btw I love Home Depot. It's always an adventure)

   "Rhonda Rousey is hot".

    Really? Is she sitting on a radiator? That's the only way she's hot.

And to add two things that annoy me, people turning their photos or icons or whatever to support a cause. It's just over the top ridiculous.

And Kate Winslet posing as a man on the Italian cover of Vogue. If Kate does the trans thing that is going to jack me up for years. She was my main crush forever, and as a man not hot.

Ok I lied, three things, Ruby fucking Rose. Just go away.

Interesting, as I've found myself in conversations with others feeling the same. PB, maybe you can bring this up on your PNI episode tonight?

I originally had it on the list and took it off. But we if get short on topics maybe I will add it back in. I have no problem supporting a cause, just think there are better ways to do it. It's something people do to make themselves feel better and I know when I pointed this out on Facebook people unfriended me, like how dare I.

Thanks for the suggestion.

You would think a billion dollar company would have an app that showed where everything in any Home Depot would be.  The Orange Apron App Map.  Micro GPS meets SKU. The aproned helpers could focus on helping people who need to know more than just where something is.

In the near future, after Skynet takes over, Home Depot robot employees will wear those cute orange aprons.  There might be a little blood them. After the revolution.  Orange is the new red.

UhOh. I shop at Lowes.

Yeah, no Home Depot near me, my honey do list money goes almost entirely to Lowes.

Actually if you select the store, it will tell you what aisle it is in.  Don't know if it is accurate. I already know where everything is.

I don't know if you're describing a phone app or a website product search, but it sounds close enough to help the slightly inebriated Chine.

er... I'm tired, just pretend I somehow cleverly implied that you wear sexy undies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People%27s_Manifesto has a brilliant suggestion "all supermarkets should be stocked in alphabetical order" Stay strong Comrade Camrade!

The HR people who insist on taking new hires around to meet everyone. Their long, loud small talk convos are really distracting from my work. And the new hires are adults. They can introduce themselves if they feel it's necessary.

[Juan]

The HR people.

Fixed.

[PB the Deplorable]

The HR people...

A useless bunch of dumb clucks.  Someday somewhere a corporation will get the clever idea of using the HR department to attract and retain good people, instead of doing their best to alienate them.  Turnover would plummet.

It amazes me all the shit they come up with in order to justify their existence, and no one seems to ever step in and says 'no, we aren't going to do this or that, or implement this or that policy, people won't like it and it's a bad idea'. 

HR stories could have it's own thread.  Or we could just read Dilbert.

    Entering the USPS means three full days of purely HR orientation. It was like the Parallax View. Here watch these videos.

    The best was the Edward James Olmos as his Miami Vice character telling us not to steal mail. It had to been made in 1985-86. And still showing it to us in 1995.

Yes.    HR seems to be composed of characters similar to my pre-teen sisters having a tea party, setting-around, coming-up with goofy ideas to impose upon unwilling victims.

[chefist]

Unfortunately, HR has shifted from employee acquisition and retention to risk prevention (avoiding litigation). Well, I will be letting my HR manager go at the end of January. Just one example of schadenfreude justice I guess...

The bozo in the met office who decided that storms hitting the UK will be named. Started with the hola hoop being imported, then Halloween, then school proms now naming storms!! Oh, current storm has been called Barney. Barney?? Are they for real?
