Oh 4 F*ck's Sake
Fuck me running. Seriously, fuck me fucking running! That fucking cunt Ronda Rousey beat Cat Zingano in 14 fucking seconds. What the actual fuck? 14 seconds? Are you kidding me? I could fucking last longer in the ring with the fucking bitch. Seriously. Let me bulk up by eating Krispy Kreme and some all you can eat buffets and put me in the damn ring. I swear to all that is holy that I could at least get out of the first fucking round. Ya know how? Make the bitch chase me around for 5 fucking minutes! Don't let her take me to to ground and grab my fucking arm! It's not rocket science! The bitch has like one fucking move! Oy fucking vay.
In better news, Holly Holm had her UFC debut tonight as the co-main event versus Raquel Pennington. It's too bad it had to be against Rocky as she is one of the female fighters who I like, but I like Holly Holm more. Anyhoo, from what I read and the short clips that I saw on the post fight show, it looked like one hell of a fight. At least it lasted all three rounds and both ladies really duked it out. Holm ended up coming out on top of a split decision.
And lastly, a *real* "Oh 4 Fuck's Sake": 50 Shades. I would never read something so ridiculous, but I had no idea just how ridiculous and poorly written it actually was until I did my little google search earlier today and ran across this. It really gets my Grammar Nazi dander up. I've read fanfics before where I was mentally correcting grammar and rewriting things to how they would be better. But, oy! That garbage really takes the cake! I can't believe that crap actually got published. Even worse is how many moronic women out there think that is something worth buying. Idiocracy is upon us! :/

Yeah, I saw the gif. I figured you'd be disappointed. Maybe Cat will get a rematch?
Make the bitch chase me around for 5 fucking minutes!
But you hate running. ;P
It really gets my Grammar Nazi dander up.
The article you linked to seems to have more of a problem with the style 50SOG was written in than any grammatical errors in the book. I'm not sure I like the suggested 'fixes'. Maybe the author would like to have the originally used words removed from the English dictionary? ;)
Maybe Cat will get a rematch?
I doubt it. It's shit like this that makes me think these fights are rigged so Dana White can keep riding his cash cow(Rousey).(And yes, I'm calling her a cow ;P) In the post fight show, they mentioned Jessica Eye might get a shot or perhaps Cris Cyborg. I'd like to see Cyborg punch the stuffing out of her. The only thing is Cyborg walks around at 170-175 pounds and would have to lose a lot of weight and muscle to fight at 135. Then she would not be the same Cyborg.
I think Bethe Correia would be a good opponent or give Miesha Tate another shot. At least Miesha lasted until the third round. Or give me a shot. ;P
I'd get into her head by bringing up that she is not the world's best judoka because she didn't win the gold in the Olympics(sore spot). I'd watch tape of how she lost in the Olympics + tape of all her so called fights. It's like Bas Rutten was saying the other night about how fighters train for upcoming fights--he can't understand why someone wouldn't watch tapes of their opponent because fighters always have certain things that they do every fight and you need to train for that. It's just very basic Sun Tzu philosophy(and applied JKD).
Rousey is easy in that aspect. Her go-to move is a judo toss of some sort directly to an armbar. It's always an armbar(except for the Sara McMann fight where she kneed Sara and then the ref stopped the fight ::cough:: RIGGED! ::cough::).
From Wiki: "[Rousey]lost her[Olympic]quarterfinal to the Dutch ex-world champion Edith Bosch. Bwahahahahahaha!!! Oh I love it! Lost to a Dutch woman! Speaking of, if your countrywoman Jorina Baars ever decided to switch from kickboxing to MMA she's be scary. I saw her beat Cyborg in a Muay Thai match. :O That chick is scary(and tall--nice long legs to knee and kick you in the face with ;P).
But you hate running. ;P
True, but I'd likely do the old dodge from side to side, skip and back-peddle maneuver. ;P The point is to not let her get close enough to grab on. ;)
I'm not sure I like the suggested 'fixes'.
While I don't agree with *all* the "fixes", I agree that an American would not talk that way. It's important to know the culture your character comes from and the mannerisms and style of speech. I agree that it sounds like a student trying to use big words to impress. It doesn't sound natural.
Hmm, was just looking up Edith Bosch. According to her twitter she was just in Miami a week ago! Damn, missed my chance for pointers. ;P
Seems like a cool chick.
Lost to a Dutch woman!
Yes, Dutch women are not kittens to be handled without gloves. ;P
(That's a rough translation of a Dutch proverb)
It doesn't sound natural.
I agree but I have seen articles written in such a style. I suppose writing and talking are just two different things. :)
What are the backgrounds of the characters anyway? Where do they come from?
Hey, how's your neck? Is it better?
Dutch women are not kittens to be handled without gloves. ;P
LOL Quite right. They're not to be trifled with(or you could get kicked in the face or worse). ;P
BTW, could you give that to me in Dutch? I think I need that on a t-shirt. ;P
And just think...look how feisty I am and I'm only 1/4 Dutch. ;P ;D
I was wondering if Lucia Rijker would like to come out of retirement to fight Rousey. }:D>
I suppose writing and talking are just two different things. :)
Not always. I'm exactly the same in person as I am online(so I've been told). I guess some peeps try to be all fancy-pants online(or in the written word).
What are the backgrounds of the characters anyway? Where do they come from?
In regards to the Fiddy Shades book? IDK, I would never read that. I just read somewhere that the chick in the book is supposed to be an American student.
I can tell you when I'm writing the OUAT characters, Emma and Regina are fairly easy. You just take into consideration their backgrounds and mannerisms and pretty much go from there.
Speaking of...OUAT season 4B premiered last night! :) I was completely unaware. Out of curiosity yesterday afternoon I looked at the satellite program guide to see what was going to be on in its stead and to my surprise it was back on! Fairly decent episode, at least.
The actress who plays Cruella De Vil(Victoria Smurfitt)is the niece of someone who was good friends with a former client. So now I'm all "Six Degrees of Separation" with OUAT. ;P She was really good at the part, too. A real scene stealer.
how's your neck? Is it better?
Yes, much better. Like 99.9%. It still feels a little wonky when I lay down to watch TV, but for sleeping it is fine. :)
How's yours BTW? And did you get you test results back yet?
LOL I was just reading Lily Sparks' snarky OUAT recap and it reminded me of something that I had thought of regarding 4B and the Ursula thing--I was thinking, 'Great, now I'll likely be seeing tentacle porn in the future on FF' and then someone in comments mentioned the scene with Snow and Dave and Ursula and Cruella in the woods where Snow was threatening them over something that happened back in the day and they better keep their traps shut or else. So the person was like 'my husband said it was a menage a quatre' and I just about busted a gut! Being me, I was like 'yeah, they were doing tentacle porn sex shows for kinky royals to make money back in the day when they were on the run from Regina!' LOLOL Or perhaps Snow and Charming went all Game of Thrones kinky back in the day and were having kinky sexcapades with tentacles and animals, hence the need for Cruella and her animal wrangling powers. ;P
could you give that to me in Dutch?
You mean something like: "Geen katje om zonder handschoenen aan te pakken" ?
She was really good at the part, too.
I guess you could say... she really can really smurf it... (sorry :)
Actually, I would like to see the smurfs in OUAT. :)
'Great, now I'll likely be seeing tentacle porn in the future on FF'
If Disney ever loosens it's hold over this show... maybe. ;P
How's yours BTW? And did you get you test results back yet?
99.9% better. :)
I'll have to call for the results tomorrow and make an appointment.
You mean something like
I'll just have to trust you. :O
And is there an old proverb concerning Dutchmen? ;P
99.9% better. :)
Good to hear. :)
So how's the army of mechanized minions coming along?
And is there an old proverb concerning Dutchmen? ;P
Oh, the kittens proverb isn't specifically about women, you could apply it to any one who can be tough to handle.
I don't think I know a proverb specifically about Dutchmen.
So how's the army of mechanized minions coming along?
I'm still doing research. This could take a while.
I've had my first meeting with Mr. Shrinkage today. I'm not sure what to think yet. The guy is 67 years old. I suppose that means he's got a lot of experience but it may make it harder to efficiently communicate with him as I suspect we live in very different worlds. He doesn't even know who the Simpsons are.
I don't think I know a proverb specifically about Dutchmen.
What a bout a joke? Something like a Dutchman, a Scotsman, and a Jew walk into a bar...I'm sure there will be haggling and chicanery involved. ;P ;P ;P
I've had my first meeting with Mr. Shrinkage today.
That makes me think of something completely different. :O That Seinfeld episode comes to mind. ;P
Is his name Dr. Victor Fries by any chance? ;P
I suspect we live in very different worlds.
That *could* be a problem in the relateability department. Too soon to tell, I'm sure.
He doesn't even know who the Simpsons are.
:O O_o
In other news, yesterday when QoH and I went out for maybe an hour to run a couple errands, the UPS came to deliver the new satellite receiver. Of course it would come during the 1 hour while we were out and of course a signature would be required. So now I'm held hostage here waiting for the delivery(if they decide to try again). Well, I'm held hostage here every day so it doesn't make much of a difference really. :/
That Seinfeld episode comes to mind. ;P
The one where he's been swimming in cold water?
Is his name Dr. Victor Fries by any chance? ;P
The batman villain? Why?
Too soon to tell, I'm sure.
Maybe. First impressions can be tricky.
So now I'm held hostage here waiting for the delivery
I see. That sucks. What would you be doing otherwise? Did the receiver arrive?
The one where he's been swimming in cold water?
Yep.
The batman villain? Why?
Yep. Because Mr Freeze makes everything cold and therefore shrinkage. ;P (yeah, yeah, bad joke)
What would you be doing otherwise?
Nothing much. I just hate having to wait around until an undetermined time.
Did the receiver arrive?
It did. I was going to wait to install it after QoH vacated the kitchen(where it was to be installed)for the evening because I can't stand to have her hovering and asking a bunch of stupid questions. Even when I answer the stupid questions, she doesn't understand(I think she has some kind of learning disability, it's like she doesn't understand English)and then it will end in an argument.
Anyway, she doesn't clear out until 1:15am. >:( I was watching an old ep of Les Revenants(I think they are them this week to lead up to the new season)and was going to go to bed after it was over. She then comes in and insists that I install the new receiver RIGHT NOW. Ugh. I thought it would take no more than 5 minutes as I only had to plug it in and connect 2 wires.
Well, with all the downloads it was 45 minutes later. I was nearing the end of the download and then the TV suddenly went to snow. No matter what I did it would work. So I disconnected it and connected the old one(at least that one was working). I don't think I got to bed until 2:30am.
I tried it again just a while ago and it wouldn't work. I called customer service and spoke to a nice young lady in Texas. Anyway, long story short, it wouldn't work so she scheduled a tech to come out on Sunday. Now I have to clean the hoard downstairs before Sunday. :/
Anything exciting with you? ;P
the TV suddenly went to snow.
I thought TVs didn't do that anymore. Don't you normally get a blue screen these days when there's no reception?
Now I have to clean the hoard downstairs before Sunday.
Hm, is that good thing or bad thing? I mean, at least it gets cleaned up but I suppose it' s a lot of work to get done in 2 or 3 days?
Anything exciting with you?
Well, the shed has been clean out. There's an electric heater. I can do stuff in there if I want to. Which is quite nice. Now, on to planning how to conquer the world. ;P
I thought TVs didn't do that anymore.
It's an old TV.
Don't you normally get a blue screen these days
The TV in my room is a new digital one. IIRC it'll snow if the cable gets unplugged.
at least it gets cleaned up
That's the infuriating part--nothing(aside from me mopping the floor last night)actually gets cleaned. It just gets shuffled around. The majority of it is the hoard of empty boxes and empty pill containers, mayo jars, assorted food containers, etc. that if I was just allowed to throw it all away it would take me less than an hour and the place would actually look clean and tidy and not all cluttered and hoarded up.
the shed has been clean out...I can do stuff in there if I want to...Now, on to planning how to conquer the world. ;P
And now you have a lair to do it in. ;P
Hey, my little story made another 'best of' list. I think I was called 'brilliant' and 'talented at humor' or some such thing. :)
Hey Arekino, how do you feel about sex toys?
my little story made another 'best of' list.
Mooooost excellent. :)
'talented at humor'
I concur. :)
how do you feel about sex toys?
Well, I don't use them. Not that I haven't thought about using a fleshlight or something.:)
I suppose in general sex toys can extend or complement ones' sexual activities. I kinda like the idea of finding out what the effect of using a vibrator on you would be. ;P
There are of course other toys like whips and cuffs. I'm not sure what to think of those. :)
I don't use them.
Why not? Don't you have one of those shops in your town?
I remember when they opened the Hustler store in Ft Lauderdale. One of the chicks who I worked with went there and then regaled us all with tales of all the different things they had there. I've also heard all about how good the Fetish Factory store smells(all the leather stuff).
If it wasn't for QoH I'd go check out FF at least(most likely the shoe store part ;P). It seems I'm not as shy as I used to be. I'm getting super cheeky in my old age. ;P
I kinda like the idea of finding out what the effect of using a vibrator on you would be. ;P
On moi specifically? ;D
Well, I could tell you what happens when I use the hand held electric massager down south. ;P
whips and cuffs
Meh to most of that.
I only brought up the subject because sometimes specific things are mentioned in fanfics and it is my duty to be well versed on things. ;P
Don't you have one of those shops in your town?
Actually, I think we literally have one around the corner. Or had one, I should say, it's closing down. Maybe business wasn't good enough. A lot of shops in the center of town are closing down lately.
the hand held electric massager
Is that what they all vibrators these days? ;P
it is my duty to be well versed on things.
That would require more than just book knowledge, I expect. You really need to try that stuff out for yourself. ;P
Are you planning on writing a story with sex toys in it?
Or had one, I should say, it's closing down.
D: Is that a reflection on the peeps in your town or the economy in general? Even as shit as the economy has been here, the one a mile or so from here seems to have enough business to keep going.
Is that what they call vibrators these days? ;P
No, it's something that QoH bought ages ago for an actual back massager. She used it a couple times IIRC and was pissed off that it wasn't any good. I rediscovered it while culling some crap a year or so ago and "re-purposed" it. QoH is very naive in a lot of ways. I don't think she even knows what a vibrator is let alone would use one. I'm also 99.9% positive she's never had an orgasm(hence her hatred for sex). You should see how hostile she gets when they show the commercial on TV for the dating site for older peeps.
Are you planning on writing a story with sex toys in it?
I wasn't, but on a blog that I read someone posted a link to that RealDolls site and it seems that they now have a male version. It got my creative gears going a bit and the idea of combining that with some of the elements from Surrogates happened. *My* idea would be that the doll is just a doll(it doesn't walk around or anything like that like in the movie)but would be a stand-in for one's actual partner(like if they were away on business or in outer space or what-not). It would be equipped with sensors and then the humans would be implanted with chips that picked up the sensations from the doll. So whatever your partner did to "doll you" you would be able to feel. You would also be able to turn the implant on and off so you wouldn't get the sensations at unwanted times. ;P I think someone in the near future is likely to apply this concept to the RealDolls.
Ya know, I might need to write this one. It would be SciFi/Sexy Times. Peeps would get into a full body scanner and then the "doll" could be made using a 3D printer. It would be 100% accurate physically. I think the conflict would come along if peeps tried to modify their partner's doll's physical attributes. ;P
Oh! I forgot to mention that the Dish tech came today around noon and it took him all of 10 minutes to fix the problem. It seems that the software in the new receivers has a bug that won't allow the thing to download the setup info if it is ran through channel 3. He told me that initially they thought that the receivers were defective until a tech discovered that if you ran it through the front input then it would download correctly. So that's what the dude did. He rigged up a do-hickey that looked like a splitter to the 2 satellite inputs in the back(I forget what he told me it was called) and then ran an A/V cable to the front input. After everything downloaded he hooked it up the regular way and we were good to go. :)
Is that a reflection on the peeps in your town or the economy in general?
Perhaps both? I'd have to look a little deeper into my town's economy to be sure.
and "re-purposed" it
So do you use it often? :)
I think someone in the near future is likely to apply this concept to the RealDolls.
Probably not the *near* future. But eventually, I suppose so. Maybe one will use robot avatars instead as in Surrogates. This relates to golems, does it not? As far as magic is concerned?
I think the conflict would come along if peeps tried to modify their partner's doll's physical attributes. ;P
I think so too, yes.
and we were good to go.
Do you notice anything different now?
I've just finished watching the movie "Knights Of Badassdom". It's a LARP themed horror/comedy. It's pretty fun. Never a dull moment and they don't fuck around with the gore. :)
So do you use it often? :)
"I used it just last night," she said with a cheeky grin and a waggle of her eyebrows. ;P
I don't use it that often actually. It provides very intense stimulation to the clit. I don't quite know how to explain it. It's intense without cumming. Most of the time I'd rather stimulate myself manually as it's easier to stop if QoH is lurking.(And that way I have no plastic gadget with a long power cord to try to hastily hide.)
This relates to golems, does it not? As far as magic is concerned?
I suppose in a way. Or like Frankenstein. I could see the creator getting obsessed with creating and perfecting it and then there would be trouble with the partner getting jealous.
I have a pretty good working outline for a story. I looked up a couple things online last night concerning advanced prosthetics. At least I now know enough for a realistic story. I thought it would be something like the wife being a research scientist working in advanced prosthetics and the husband would be in the Navy or something(in reality they have a research facility for this at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland and that is also where the Naval Academy is). I figured the couple met at a party when the dude was a recent graduate and the lady is a doctor/researcher and later get married. They get this idea because the guy has to go away for months at a time due to being in the Navy and they miss each other physically. I think it would make for a good story. It would be something like you'd find in French films. Over here it would probably be turned into some cheap porn thing. ;P
Do you notice anything different now?
Nope.
"Knights Of Badassdom". It's a LARP themed horror/comedy
Coincidence that you should bring that up. :) I was working on ideas for a FF based on LARPing. I got a little bogged down and then I got the idea for the Surrogate one. I shall have to look up this movie of which you speak. :)
It's intense without cumming.
Maybe it's because I' m a guy but that doesn't sound very satisfying to me. :/
no plastic gadget with a long power cord to try to hastily hide.
Plus it makes a noise that could attract unwanted attention, I'm guessing.
I'm honestly a little bit jealous that there seem to be much better toys for women than for men.
It would be something like you'd find in French films.
You think so? Hm. I tend to find French movies a bit boring. I don't they make a lot of Scifi.
Not that I don't like your story idea. :)
I can't believe I have to go to Shrinkface already tomorrow. I'm definitely going to give him a chance but I wish he was a little younger. He seems a bit posh as well. My prejudices are flaring up. :)
that doesn't sound very satisfying to me. :/
It's not. Don't get me wrong, it *does* feel good, but it's like never cresting the top of the hill on the roller coaster.
it makes a noise that could attract unwanted attention
It's not very loud but it does make a buzzing noise.
I'm honestly a little bit jealous that there seem to be much better toys for women than for men.
My research has lead to various interesting things. Have you ever seen those Clone-a-Willy and Clone-a-Wally kits? I had to look into the process and materials for my story. How do you feel about prostate stimulators? That seems to be the other big thing for dudes other than the Fleshlight.
I tend to find French movies a bit boring.
They can be, but they also seem to deal with complex emotional issues better than American films.
I have to go to Shrinkface already tomorrow.
I was wondering when you were going next. Good luck with that! :)
He seems a bit posh as well.
Oh noes! ;P
Could there be some transference going on? Would you feel more at ease if it was a lady? What if it was a younger dude?
Arekino, I need your perspective. If you were involved in this scenario with the Surrogate, what would be the deal breaker for you? What would make you want to get rid of the thing?
How do you feel about prostate stimulators?
I really don't like the idea of putting stuff up my behind. So, nope.
Could there be some transference going on? Would you feel more at ease if it was a lady? What if it was a younger dude?
I don't quite follow. Transference, how? What kind? I don't care about gender. A younger person might be easier in some ways.
What would make you want to get rid of the thing?
A malfunction is the first thing that comes to mind. But, you know, the fact that it's not a real person kinda makes me think I wouldn't want one in the first place.
I really don't like the idea of putting stuff up my behind.
Sooooo, if you were getting it on hot and heavy with a sexy woman and she tried to poke a finger up your bum, you'd go all nuts like Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast? ;P
Transference, how?
IDK, like he reminds you of someone you don't like or something?
Grrrr...I'm getting really pissed off ATM. Firstly, I'm getting all OCD over researching a freakin' story(like I tend to do)and it's just so frustrating that whenever you try to do anything involving military there is so much to know to get the details right or else you get all the trolls coming out of the woodwork to tell you it's not the way it is IRL. But then, I can't think of any other job that would take someone away for months at a time where you don't really have a choice.
Secondly, I'm pissed off because I'm nearly 40 and have no relationship experience to pull from to write such a story.
I'm pissed off, horny, and I have QoH preventing me from living my life like she has my whole life and I feel really stuck and don't know what to do about it. /end rant
How did the shrinking session go, BTW? Did you learn all the secrets of the universe? ;P
I think I've found a solution to the story dilemma! I'll just make one of the characters a musician who goes on tour from time to time and then I avoid all the military nonsense. This allows me to be more flexible. Huzzah! :D
you'd go all nuts like Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast?
I'd certainly object to such a treatment. I wouldn't allow it.
like he reminds you of someone you don't like or something?
No, not really. It just that he wears what looks like a light-brown suede jacket and a silk shawl around his neck. He does have a bit of a doctors' accent though, not so posh that.
I can't think of any other job that would take someone away for months at a time where you don't really have a choice.
Sailors tend to be away from home for long periods. Could be on a military or commercial ship. Then there's journalists, diplomats, travel agents.
no relationship experience to pull from to write such a story
Okay, but how likely are you to make serious errors on that subject, you think?
I'm pissed off, horny
Hm, I'm not sure if that's a good or bad combination of emotions. I guess there's nothing I can do to help you with that? ;p
I'll just make one of the characters a musician who goes on tour from time to time
That'll work as well. You may ignore my remarks above. :)
I'd certainly object to such a treatment. I wouldn't allow it.
So basically you're like these peeps.
he wears what looks like a light-brown suede jacket and a silk shawl around his neck
Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!! Are you serious?!? Does he smoke a pipe, too? ;D
Other than that, how are the sessions going? Are you getting anything out of them?
Sailors...military or commercial ship...journalists, diplomats, travel agents.
I'm going to steer away from anything nautical. I've narrowed it down to musician or bounty hunter. At least with bounty hunters I have a working knowledge. ;P
how likely are you to make serious errors on that subject
I'll just have to omit any steamier details. ;P
I'm not sure if that's a good or bad combination of emotions
It's bad when there's nothing that I can do about it. I need human contact, not QoH. >:(
I had to mow the yard today(hence the late reply). I wasn't out 5 minutes when a car pulled up to the side of the road where I was mowing. I was like 'Who the fuck is this?' Out got a dude who I used to work with. He was always kinda creepy and stalkerish. He even admitted to passing by from time to time but never seeing me outside until now. I find it creepy that he knows where I live to begin with, let alone stopping by after 5 years. Anyway, we chatted a bit with him telling me how the old bosses were still screwing over their employees like always, but he quit working for them a bit after QoH and I quit. Seems they screwed over the wrong peeps and it caught up to them in that they no longer have 3 of the 6 venues they used to cater at. What goes around comes around sometimes. :)
Are you serious?!? Does he smoke a pipe, too?
Absolutely serious. I thought exactly the same about him smoking a pipe. I've not seen him smoke but I have on occasion smelled burned tobacco there.
how are the sessions going? Are you getting anything out of them?
Well, we're still just starting. We talked mostly about my background, my parents, my childhood, jobs I've had, stuff like that. But I guess so far I'm not getting much out of it.
He was always kinda creepy and stalkerish.
In what way?
I find it creepy that he knows where I live to begin with
Hm, yeah, how *does* he know that?
they no longer have 3 of the 6 venues they used to cater at.
Maybe you could apply for work at his competitors? Maybe they're better bosses.
I have on occasion smelled burned tobacco there.
LOL It's like a Seinfeld episode. So is that life imitating art or art imitating life? Who knows anymore. ;P
And here I am contemplating writing fiction about Bionic Beavers and Wonder Willies. It's all stranger than fiction. ;D
In what way?
Well, first of all he's like 20 years older than you. He was always leering at the women at work and would always find a way to brush up against you all pervy like, but do it in a way that was deniable. He worked in the kitchen and IIRC one of the ladies who worked in the kitchen also complained to the boss about him and his covert sexual harassment. Then he would make suggestive comments and say shit like he could come by your house and stuff.
how *does* he know that?
Well, all you need is a name and you can find people's addresses in this country. All of it is in the phone book(and online). All he would need to do is look at time cards to get a full name.
Ya know he actually had the audacity to ask me for my phone number? I wouldn't give it to him. I know he'd be too chickenshit to call the house number and risk QoH answering.
Maybe you could apply for work at his competitors?
I am curious as to who has the one venue(the other 2 I wouldn't want to work at--one is too far away and the other is in a part of town that is getting run-down).
Who knows anymore.
Well, it's not a good idea for me to confuse my real life shrink with some stereotype, even though this guy is doing his best to live up to said stereotype. I should look beyond his exterior.
Then he would make suggestive comments and say shit like he could come by your house and stuff.
Okay, he's probably a creep. Avoid.
So, got any plans for the weekend?
I should look beyond his exterior.
Yeah, who knows? You might actually get something out of it.
he's probably a creep. Avoid.
Oh, don't worry; I always did try to avoid him.
So get this: he came by on Thursday, right? Today(Saturday) QoH was looking through the caller ID to see if there were any called that she had missed and discovered the name and number for those assholes that we used to work for.
So it couldn't have been some kind of coincidence that stalker-dude just happens to drop by 5 years later. I don't believe for a second that he hasn't worked for them in 5 years, too, and then the very next day those assholes call the house.
If I was a betting person and some of what he told me was true, they are stuck for help once again and sent him to find out if I was still doing that kind of work. They really have life fucked up if they think they can screw me over and then I'm suddenly going to come running back to them when they are in a pinch. They might be able to do that with all those other assholes, but it's not happening with me.
So, got any plans for the weekend?
Maybe some reverse stalking. ;P
I'm curious to see who has the old venue.
And there's OUAT on Sunday, of course. :)
Well, a quick google search has informed me that the old venue was taken over by an outfit that I worked for a couple times. They are even bigger bastards than the other ones. It's nearly impossible to get paid with those guys and if you do, the check will bounce. No way I'm going to deal with that. :/
sent him to find out if I was still doing that kind of work.
Sounds plausible to me.
And there's OUAT on Sunday, of course.
Ah, right. I really have to wonder when they start broadcasting the show again over here. It's been ages.
They are even bigger bastards than the other ones.
No shortage of bastards then? :)
the check will bounce
With those kinds of practices, how do they ever manage to keep a company running? Why aren't better companies taking their place? Why aren't they being sued to smithereens?

IDK. What was the last season they broadcast? I think a lot of peeps on your side use Netflix to see it.
No shortage of bastards then?
Nope. We're neck deep in bastards over here. ;P
how do they ever manage to keep a company running?
I guess there are a lot of unsuspecting peeps out there or perhaps they don't know any better.
Why aren't they being sued to smithereens?
Unfortunately with this line of work, it's basically menial and most of the workers are either not very sophisticated or don't have the means to do anything about it. These places like to use a lot of illegals. A person like that isn't likely to go to the authorities. And anyone who *would* go to the authorities, they'd likely pay you and then never call you back to work.
I had that happen before. Got a check and it bounced. Contacted the individual and got the run-around. Told the person to pay up or a complaint would be filed with the PD as it's a felony to write a bad check. Got paid cash and never worked for them again. I wouldn't work for anyone again if they operate like that. The worst thing is if someone is shady like that they can go on almost indefinitely by dissolving one corporation and making another.
Hey, a bit of good news(to me anyway ;P). Carla Esparza lost her straw weight belt to Joanna from Poland. (Sorry, I *really* don't remember how her last name was spelled as it was like 10 consonants and one vowel ;P). I stayed up to watch the post fight show as the fights were on PPV. Polish chick won by TKO. :)
What was the last season they broadcast?
The 2nd maybe? I think it ended with our heroes going on a boat trip with Hook.
Carla Esparza lost her straw weight belt to Joanna from Poland.
Congratulations? :)
How's the weather over yonder? We've been having some rather nice, sunny days. Still not too warm but quite pleasant.
The 2nd maybe?
Yeah, sounds like you didn't get to see season 3(Neverland)/2nd Curse and Season 4A(Frozen). We're on to 4B now.
Congratulations? :)
Yep. ;P
How's the weather over yonder?
Very, very hot. I went out to tidy up some of the hedges yesterday and I was melting and ready to keel over after an hour.
Glad you're fairing better. Do anything fun lately?
I was melting and ready to keel over after an hour.
Wow! In March? Geesh! That is so not for me. I sure hope you've applied sunscreen lotion. :)
Do anything fun lately?
Hm, well, I've been playing warframe. I'm at Mastery Rank 4 now, I've earned my archwing and am regularly hunting the void for mods, forma, blueprints, potatoes and other resources. I could theoretically grow a kubrow but those are expensive to maintain so maybe I'll settle for a sentinel.
I'm also still busy with the electronics. Still doing just basic stuff.
And you?
How do you feel about card games BTW?
Wow! In March? Geesh!
Yeah, I said the same thing. It doesn't ease into it here. I goes from nice to blazing seemingly over night, though it seemed a little early for it.
I sure hope you've applied sunscreen lotion. :)
Nah, I was wearing pants, t-shirt, and a hat for protection(part of the reason it was so hot for me).
Still doing just basic stuff.
So no Bionic Beavers yet? ;P
And you?
Had to take a tub of Smart Balance back to Walmart last night. Usually they don't say anything and just refund your money, but last night the girl started asking a bunch of questions. I *did* buy it from a different store but that usually doesn't matter. I don't think their store sells that item any more. Anyway, I got the refund but usually they don't question anything.
I was displeased to find that they didn't have a Lucky Charms t-shirt for St Patrick's Day. Happy St Paddy's, BTW! (I'm 18.75% Irish so I'm authorized to do that. ;P)
How do you feel about card games BTW?
I've never played any card games so I guess I'm neutral on that topic.
So no Bionic Beavers yet? ;P
I would probably prefer the fleshy ones anyway. ;P
I'm 18.75% Irish
Do all Americans have those percentages memorized or something? ;P
a tub of Smart Balance
So what's in the tub? Food, I assume? :)
I guess I'm neutral on that topic.
I just a found this card game on the internets. It's more like a story telling game than a traditional car game. I think it's interesting concept and there don't seem to be a lot of similar games.
Do all Americans have those percentages memorized or something? ;P
I think like half the country at least is part Irish, and yes, most peeps have their percentages memorized. I'm also 25% English, 25% Dutch, 25% Portuguese, and 6.25% Mohawk Indian. :)
So what's in the tub?
A butter substitute.
Hmm, I will have to look into this card game.
Hey, I got a gig for a repeat customer in a few weeks. :)
