plainswalker75 posted:"Year of the Job" was one of the running themes of the "A ticket came in . . . " thread two years ago, when several long-suffering IT goons quit their soul-crushing low-pay jobs for soul-crushing medium-pay jobs; the notable exception being Dick Trauma, who somehow managed to get hired at Shangri-la. It gets confusing, though, because the liquor of choice in that thread is almost always scotch/whiskey.

And when it does, i'll be here waiting for it! Actually, I think the bachelor thread is more about the scotch/whiskey and the enjoyment of your booze; IT is more about the numbing effects, so anything will do.

This is pretty much the first time I've seen a national attitude from a NZ native (apart from my husband; he's cool) that wasn't blatant and aggressive chauvinism. It's refreshing; thank you. My inlaws are batshit. What "country" is from, anyway?

Ghostlight posted:Honestly it's a step up from when the National Myth of Global Importance was based entirely on the performance of national teams for sports not played outside the Commonwealth. That one is still going though, they're proud enough of their union rugby team to slap its logo on several of their airplanes. Which probably confuses a lot of people flying there from the United States.

I don't think I've seen this one, and a threadsearch, SAclopedia, and the named user's profile yield nothing: . It's Baron von Blubba from Bubble Bobble. The "hurry! hurry!" is a message that appears in Bubble Bobble when you exceed a level's time limit, just before Baron von Blubba appears. So why is it "choco"? Is it, in fact, related to the user choco?
