  1. I worked as a sys admin at an online brokerage for several years. Our team was spread out all over the country, so every morning we'd have a 30 minute pre-market conference call to talk anything that could affect trading like internal issues or outside stuff like earnings reports or fed news that could lead to high market activity. Our director was a Dwight Shrute type turd who felt like he wasn't doing his job if he wasn't regularly raking his people over the coals, so every single morning it was guaranteed that one or more of us was going to get singled out in this meeting for a trip through the shredder in front of all his/her coworkers. It was fucking brutal and was easily the worst part of the day. My routine for joining this call was ingrained: Dial in, enter passcode, and mute my mic. The other sys admin and I shared an office. He sat on the opposite side of the room facing the wall. A good 10 feet away. One particularly stressful morning as everyone is joining the call, I say to my office mate something along the lines of, "I wonder who fuckhead is gonna put on the rack today." I immediately hear Dwight reply, "This morning I think we'll start with you, TS." Turns out my office mate wasn't a stickler for mute discipline like I was. That was the beginning of the end of my tenure at that company. Tl;dr A hot mic picked me up talking honest and unfiltered shit about my boss during a conference call.
  2. That isn't Kate. That's Coral's mom. Maybe you were referring to a Kate-type.
  3. When it was firing on all cylinders, Community was as good a comedy as you're gonna see on network TV.
  4. It had an unsatisfactory ending and a lot of people took that shit very personally. That doesn't change the fact that it was a great show for 98% of its run. Ben Linus has to be in the top 10 of greatest TV show villains. I'm very sure you'll enjoy it. And yes, dirty island Kate is best Kate.
  5. Along this same line of thought: Vigo and the Carpathians
  6. The Cosby Sweaters Donkey Punch Mafia The Fatty Deposits Residue
  7. So many red flags. I have a feeling this isn't the last time we'll be reading about this guy in the news.
  8. Pool would go first, but I'd consider other targets if there were still rounds in the chamber.
  9. I was in my car when he announced that "prize" and immediately chuckled at the thought of taking a dump in switzer's pool.
  10. My god just look at that mean fucker. He's barely human. He'd beat you dead and feast on your remains.
  11. Well then, that changes everything. Bet the house on Teddy Roosevelt.
  12. Hate to break it to ya broseph, but Abe Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt are fucking dead. Obama would kick their asses
  13. What kinda stupid fucking question is this? You got three dudes over 70 and two over 90, then you have Obama at 56 years old. He'd beat those old fucks senseless.
  14. At least. I started posting on Hornfans in 2001, and one of the first memories was the thread devoted to that pic.
  15. The board hasn't changed, you're just feeling this way because the Shag -> Surly transition happened during the off season, and the Football board always migrates to the Recruiting board during the off season. This board will return to y'all's idealized vision of what it should be in September.
  16. Agree. This was a good episode, but it's the first one this season that didn't have a 'wow!' factor.
  17. I think that's the guy Talulah had on her horse when she rode into town. He's a captive.
  18. That sounds delicious! Do you have a link for this?
