It was at the GM Assembly plant here and was company sanctioned so I have no doubt the Santa will get fired.

A guy I used to work with's wife did a secret santa at her office. She's pregnant (and it's actually his) but is a pretty terrible person. For he gift she received a box full of bent up wire hangers and a note that said "You know what must be done." I feel like every jerky thing I've ever done falls short.

I don't know the people who did the gifting? The husband is a really chill dude who married a slightly crazy woman (she was anti-vaccine but he fixed that). It's her coworkers that are bastards. I know none of them.


Update: He tells me they're going to sue for a hostile work environment and harassment charges will be filed. She works in the offices but the SS was the entire facility, over 500 people participated in all.

I live across a bridge from Indiana. We've basically vetoed it because it's so awful. Mind you I've both lived and worked over there multiple times so I know all about it.

My sis was visiting recently and she's like "Yeah I'm gonna take my BF to Indiana to have a look at the city" and I told her that was a bad idea. She comes back a few hours later "Yeah so I got pulled over"

Clue by 4 aka the Cluebat or Attitude adjustment tool, commonly a large solid piece of 2x4. When one of those is not on hand, a cricket bat will suffice.

There is some debate whether a cricket bat or a baseball bat is best to beat sense into someone. Personally, a cricket bat is better as it's not really seen as a standover weapon, thence is more obvious that if you beat the poo poo out of someone, it's for good reason.

Protip for gift cards, especially the ones that are pains in the rear end about residuals and fees -- immediately use the card to buy an Amazon gift card for the same amount. Then it's sitting in your Amazon account for whenever you buy poo poo.

This is the loving truth. If I ever end up with another pre-paid debit card things I'm going straight to Amazon and converting it to something useful before it gets forever stuck on the card.

I made the mistake of spending most of my $50 rebate card on stuff with the plan of dumping the remainder into my Steam wallet. Turns out that can only be done in increments. Also when I tried to just buy a game that was slightly under the remainder or the card Steam rejected it. Amazon has a minimum of like $25 so I can't do that. Probably going to pick up a couple items at the grocery store and hope the card doesn't get rejected for reasons.

Back before some of you young'ns were born, there was this thing called usenet. Basically open forums.

There was a subgroup called alt.pave.the.earth. It was awesome in concept -- the earth is terrible and all of the creatures and trees prohibit our ability to drive fast, EVERYWHERE.

Pave the earth.
