  1. It checks out. It's the microscopic plankton that is single celled.
  2. Are you saying they're not single celled, or what?
  3. I guess being single celled makes that possible.
  4. It's made from an ingredient found in jellyfish. The ads promise improved memory and cognitive function. Wait... how smart is a jellyfish?
  5. That and Zumiez. Personally, I prefer Boscovs. I've never been in a Pac Sun and the one time I stopped in Zumiez, I couldn't figure out which science fiction characters the clothes were for.
  6. I woke up and found a pizza spinning on the record player.
  7. Video is not YouTube and accompanies editorial commentary. https://conservativetribune.com/worst-parking-job-in-history/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=conservativetribune&utm_content=2018-01-22&utm_campaign=manualpost
  8. Back in the day, getting your mouth washed out with soap was a punishment.
  9. Twenty five years ago, the door plaques were brass and bolted to the doors. These days, we change executives so often that brass plaques are just a big waste of resources. The new ones are plastic and held on with Velcro.
  10. As though I ever did steal copper...
  11. He had a top floor office suite with hot and cold running maids... and even access to the executive washroom. Things were going swell for him until he came to work last Friday and saw an EVS dumpster parked in front of his door. He doesn't work here anymore. His door plaque is in the municipal dump. Yup... That's just how precariously some people are positioned. I wonder whether he was given at least a severance check.
  12. I never let my cats out. A falcon makes its rounds in this neighborhood. Also, cats and cars are always a bad mix.
  13. Doesn't matter. It was worth publication forty four years ago. Shows you where the mindset was.
  14. Stolen from a magazine. Character change for update.
  15. Jane and Daria were at the county fair. Jane told Daria to wait outside a tent while she went in to see a palm reader. Jane came out of the tent eight minutes later, borrowed Daria's hand sanitizer and said, "He's very insightful. He said I have the hand of a real artist."
  16. Round Table makes way better pizza.
  17. You bid on assignments according to seniority as well. Some people like cleaning rest rooms... because of tips. I always bid far enough removed from that. I don't want a lot of contact with stuff that can be typically found in toilets. At least twice per year, every regular assignment is posted on a wall board. Workers are called to the board, one by one and in order of first to last in seniority. Each worker signs his/her name next to the desired assignment. The choice made becomes the "bid position" for six months. I've been handling "projects" for some time. Projects include cleaning up after unusual events, such as the time a fire sprinkler started unexpectedly and damaged an office.
  18. Just by swapping out an old appliance with a new energy saving model, I have cut my electrical consumption (and charges) by seventy percent. Let me see Al Gore cut his consumption by that rate.
  19. If more than one person wants a particular time block, it's awarded according to seniority. That's usually referred to as a bid.
  20. My uncle is there and he wasn't affected by the storms.
  21. It's almost time for summer vacation bids here at the casino. I'm usually the strongest contender for the most desired weeks. If I win the time slot I want, I'll be buying plane tickets to Houston.
  22. There's a second Chinatown in Flushing. Also, don't go there when it's cold because you'll miss things like the free outdoor erhu concerts.
  23. Scroll up and read first.
