Don't you know, that no non-professional grade set of walkie talkies work at anywhere near their advertised range? This includes ones for adults, not just the super lovely kids toy versions.

Bullshit, pluggers don't exercise at gyms. At the most they go and sit in the sauna at the Eagles Hall before the fish fry while their wives play bingo.

10 minutes of treadmill on setting 2 before while they chow down on half a pizza every Monday at Planet Fitness.

I hate this, and Girl Scout cookies. The companies that make the candy make more than the people selling it. Just ask parents for the cash, nobody wants your overprices lovely quality food.

Are you human? I mean yes, there's problems with moms marching their daughters around to get sales and the like, but it's nowhere near as exploitative as these fundraiser things.

No I am not human, I am a computer programmed to inflict pain, hence posting Mike du Jour.

You say that it isn't exploitative, but it's hardly a charitable endeavor. My co-worker has a daughter in Scouts and they are not allowed to go door to door for "safety reasons" which means they either have to hit up relatives, neighbors and co-workers to sell the cookies, or they get permission to set up a table outside a business to sell them. Each girl is issued a minimum number of boxes they must sell and the break down of profits isn't great.

The Girl Scouts official website explains that the troop gets approximately 15 percent of the revenue, while the regional council ends up with the bulk of the proceeds at roughly 75 percent which goes to salaries, overhead and other expenses. More detailed breakdowns differ troop to troop, but a 2010 article, based on $3.50 box price, says that, additionally, 85 cents of each box goes to the baker to cover production costs, while 1 penny per box goes to the neighborhood "service unit." None of the money made from actually selling cookies goes to the national organization. However, as it owns the rights to the Girl Scouts trademarked logo, the national organization is paid royalties by the baker as well as any other companies that make use of the cookies.

My co-worker has expressed his feelings that the time spent and badgering of friends required in selling the cookies is more than he cares to deal with so he just buys all the obligatory boxes and gives them away.

The Girl Scouts isn't evil, but stop trying to sell me stuff I don't want by trying to guilt me into it, just ask for a donation and be done with it.

The bigger issue is how much of this type of fundraising I see in America, fun raising car washes, band candy, cheerleader cookie dough, on and on. Growing up in Canada I just never saw it. The schools were well funded and if you wanted a band trip to Europe you asked the parents to pay, not send the kids out with boxes of $3 chocolate almonds from which the school saw $1 per box. This is only trumped by the charity yard sales and bar nights to pay for cancer treatment for kids and veterans. You're a nice country America, but get your poo poo together.

I got a little off track there. So comix, they're funny, am I right?

So what happens if a scout can't meet quota? Are they drummed out of the Girl Scouts?

What was the name of that strip that had the clown/mime character that did crazy stuff with the design elements in the comic? And is there an online collection of them?

Filak is a former registered nurse, a current webcam model—his far more civilized term for online pornography actor—and an avid health and lifestyle reformer.

Filak doubts the very premise of hydration. As a raw-food vegan, he aims to survive only on fruits and vegetables. He hopes to reach 150 years old.

Filak says he survives on around 800 to 1,000 calories a day, solely consumed in the form of whole fruits and vegetables. Even his dog, a chihuahua-shih-tzu-papillon-Pekingese mix named Sachi, is on the diet.

Poor doggie.

At an office I worked in there were little windows between cube walls and the way they were arranged with where the PC went and all you had no choice but to look directly at the person across from your. Luckily you kind of got used to having someone in your line of sight so you sort of tuned them our and my cube neighbor and I got along pretty well also but I would have hated to have had some of my other coworkers there. It would have been hard to try to come up with a solution to blocking that window so you don't have to deal with them without appearing to be saying "gently caress you" passive-aggressively.


Family photos, lots of them.

They look like they're standing. Is this a mistake, or are there really jobs where people stand in front of a computer in cubicles?

Since I have been living in the US medical buildings with a shared first tier secretary have dividers like that for privacy. Think of a row of bank tellers, but with dividers.

Are the characters in Funky Winkerbean complaining about a female character being popular and getting more merchandise?

Possibly being bothered by the fact that sex sells and since Boobies McGee signed on there is an upswing in collectable action figures being designed.

So yes, the are doing what you said.
