I just tried to go to Target (which was closed because it was Easter Sunday) and as I sat in the parking lot I watched about a dozen different people walk up to or drive past the door as if they did not believe that the previous person walked away because it was closed. One woman on a cell phone was really not paying attention and almost walked into the door.

Where I work is closed for all federal holidays because we're a govt facility. We put out signs months in advance and people will still come in the day after the holiday and bitch about driving in and us not being open. The day after loving Christmas they did this. It did not occur to them to wonder why there was no traffic at the gate, the huge loving parking lot was empty, the lights were off, etc. They come up to the door and bang on it until the guard comes over to explain that the facility is closed for Christmas. And then the day after they come in and bitch at me for not being open, like it was my decision that we close that day and not the fact that it's a federal holiday. I'm just glad that Easter is always on a Sunday and we're not opened on Sundays so I don't have to hear that poo poo tomorrow morning.

My dad had to get a new phone because his new girlfriend's Doberman freaked out about his old phone's notification light, and proceeded to chew the poo poo out of it.

"Doberman 1, Phone 0", in his words.

Right up until people see the hallelujah scene and start laughing their balls off, yeah. Then again, that scene shows Snyder's inability as a director to really know how a movie works. Yeah, that scene was in the comic, and it had a point. But in the movie? It doesn't belong. It doesn't work. And Snyder, when faced with a choice between making a cut in something he may or may not have respected and ruining the entire product, decided he knew what was better than the audience. And was so very, very wrong.

From Snyder? Nothing. From Warner Brothers? To remove Snyder from the product altogether because he's the main liability.

The real issue is that this was the movie that was supposed to bring on the DC Cinematic Universe. That's one of the reasons DC moved from New York to the West Coast and has been floundering for a while: it was bought simply to use the characters in movies and television. So not only did Snyder gently caress up a movie, he definitely put the plans for a movie line in jeopardy, and possibly even destroyed a comic company. Even though moving DC Comics to the West Coast and engaging in a 'comics are billboards for the movie' policy that does nobody any favors. I guess that counts as schadenfreude: Snyder's attempt to bring his beloved comics to life ends up destroying one of the oldest ones still printing together. I'd find it funnier if this resulted in DC Comics going back to comics instead of being used as licensing fodder.

I'd rather watch Batman versus Superman than read this post.

Note the tow rope, and the hood (bonnet) already removed. The lights have also all been removed, and I think the radiator, too.

This was deliberate, I think. Entertaining, but not very schadenfreude-y

A Festivus Miracle: Dec 19, 2012; I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

What a pretty way to destroy your head gasket.

Content: I was out digging soil pits with our crew for our capstone project. These soil pits are about 2.5 feet deep, and we dug them pretty wide. While going back to fill in our pits, I wandered upon this puddle, and decided, in my water proof boots, to jump in it.

Turns out our old pit had filled with groundwater. Nothing like freezing cold snowmelt to the balls at 8 am.

Here's a lion that a Swedish king had done in 1731:

The taxidermist had no idea what it was supposed to look like and used the lion in the Swedish coat of arms as a reference.

What? No, don't do that. You could do more damage than the actual penetration if you don't know what you are doing. What if you nick an artery on the way out?
