Lamely Enough. . . .

1.) I redacted all traces of where I work due to the threat of losing my job. This is dumb.

2.) Anonymous posting has been taken advantage of, so I now moderate comments like China's Google, Kim Jung Il, and the Third Reich combined.

3.) One concerned reader commented that this blog has gone down in quality. 3 a.) I never promised nor delivered quality. 3.b.) My mom still loves it.

Transformers vs. Congressman

The following was sent to everyone on Capitol Hill back in my interning days. Transformers 3 was being filmed in DC. Only government stiffs would be able to construct in e-mail that makes enormous robot fights seem mundane. Great job.

Hoyas vs Aggies

Free tickets to company box filled with beer.....don't mind if I do.  No better way to wake up on a beautiful Saturday morn.

Maybe this whole working thing won't be so bad after all.

Actually, check back with me on Monday.

Rats

Do you see the above? Drink it in for a while. Close your eyes even. Picture the rat, a rodent of such proportions, that it would dwarf most lap dogs.

Have it in your head?

Now realize this is reality. This is not a drill. It lives. THEY LIVE. More specifically, in the ceiling above Scott's bedroom.

We've heard them for a while, but have managed to drone the noises - those which seem to derive from their small industrial factory - with an old fan. As of recent, they have ramped up 'production' (or whatever they are doing) to such proportions that we are fearing of an invasion.


How this invasion may occur. . . we don't want to be around to find out. So as American war tactics go, we shall launch a pre-emptive attack.

Enter, the exterminator.

Till then, we must stay vigil.


Salim explains to Zoolander (not original names):

"They hear us plotting. They've sent a message to my blackberry saying 'stop it, we know, stop it."

"They did that? Wow, man."




PS- Mom, we aren't in any real trouble. Please dont 'txt' me with health warnings and suggested courses of action followed by "luv u".

I'm a big boy now. I can fight my own (rat) battles.

My View

Not so cool at the moment. Just got back from gorging myself on comp'ed indian food and my hair still needs to be cut.

I look like Justin Bieber the business man.

Update to come soon.
