Reply to Jack Thompson Attempts to Have Penny-Arcade Arrested! in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Actually, I am pretty disgusted by GTA, or are you suggesting that it makes no statement at all? Actually, there's a difference between being disgusted by GTA and spewing lies about games and the violence that may or may not be accessible (easily or not) contained in them. Jack goes overboard on this.

The World's Shortest And Best Fairy Tale in Humor JoeUser Forums

I did not write this and it's been a while since I put much of my own original writing up, but, meh, I felt like sharing it here anyways... To hell with my own original writing! A good friend sent this to me in email. Don't know if he wrote it or not, but it's something he might say, so I guess it could be him. World's Shortest and Best Fairy Tal

Reply to Jack Thompson Attempts to Have Penny-Arcade Arrested! in Gaming JoeUser Forums

One of the problems with Jack is that while many people can see him for the idiot he is, he is still being called upon by CNN and other outlets as an expert in gaming violence. He is still spewing untruths about gaming and it's being released by news outlets as fact. While Penny Arcade has a wide readership, it's still just a gaming/online comic site and doesn't have the reach of a CNN. So, some people are in the dark as to Jacks ass-hattery. Hopef

I was bored at work today and had only two classes to teach, so I amused myself by reading up about this a bit on a few sites. Really funny stuff! I love how they pushed his buttons and sent in a check in his name - there's a scan of that on their site, too. The memo says something to the effect of "Donated in the name of Jack Thompson because Jack Thompson won't"

Reply to Henry's got some fancy pants. in Pets & Nature JoeUser Forums

We use Hot Pants (I think, or something very much like them). We just line them with a pad and we've found that doggy pads are pretty much the same as woman pads, so we just use those because they are much cheaper. Link

If You've Ever Been SOL After LFG in WoW JoeUser Forums

Somebody posted this link on the guild forum boards. If you don't like Lord of the Rings or World of Warcraft, it won't be funny. If you're into either, or both, you'll be laughing. Really funny stuff. There is some strong language on it, so be warned. Link <!--W

Reply to Hooters and Cocks............. in Humor JoeUser Forums

Nice! HAHA! On a slightly (not really) related note, I lived just a short stagger from the very first Hooters ever in Clearwater. First time I was ever carded there was my 21st birthday. It was not the first time I'd ever had a beer there.

Reply to Wizards, Warlocks, and Dragons....OH MY!!! in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Yeah, I was a heavy player up until about 10 years ago or so. Made nearly $2,000 when I finally sold off all my books at a hobby/comic book shop. I do miss playing, more for the people than the game itself, though. It was a great way to spend an evening with friends. Now, I'm a big fan of World of Warcraft. Very similar to D&D in nature. The game is the DM, though, so everyone gets to be a player. That was one downfall to D&D at times.

TAIRing It Up! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I've been busy at work since getting back from my TDY trip to Cleveland so it's been a long time since I posted. This may be the longest I've gone without posting since joining JU a little over a year ago. I've even let two weeks go on my fantasy football league updates. As for the trip to Cleveland. It was a fairly busy week. I got my orders late (they

Reply to Your Freedom of Speech and My Freedom to Fire You in Current Events JoeUser Forums

The military is part of the gov. and the DOD tells them they can't protest in uniform, right? So for a time they sacrifice their free speech rights Not being able to show up to a protest in uniform is not an infringement on any rights. It's the difference between expressing your personal opinion and be

Personally, I've turned down jobs that require a drug test. Yeah, I work on computers...why do you need to know if I use drugs on my personal time? Because it's company policy? Bah, you can jam that policy straight up your ass. I could see if it were a job where there was a potential for harming others (driving a forklift for exa

Reply to The Army's Last Idiocy for Greywar in Humor JoeUser Forums

There's also the 12 months service remaining requirement. It's funny (and sad), but over the past few years I've noticed a lot of SSG's making the SFC list late, late in their carreers. Same for SFC's making the MSG list. It seems as if the Army is using promotions to keep people in longer than the RC

t's an odd thing, especially that they're tasking our Arabic linguists when we certainly have better things to do with them... Well, the TAIR Trips we're tasked with are 5 days long at the most and the payoff can be pretty good. From just talking to the recruiters this week, a lot of them have no clue

Reply to Copycat Blogs or Coincidence? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Little Whip once stole a blog idea right out of my head and posted it just hours before I had planned to do it. No joke. Although I did the sad dance inside, I did comment on it and told her so (not that I was doing a sad dance, but that I'd had the idea).

A Pirate! Horror! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

OK, so I posted this last year, but I figured in honor of national talk like a pirate day, I'd repost it. Yeah, I'm lazy. Years ago (1991), I was a part of a GASP (Gilbert And Sullivan Players) production of The Pirates of Penzance - The Slave of Duty. It was my first attempt at community theater and it was a lot of fun. In honor of National Talk Like a Pi

Going On A TAIR! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Next week, I'm going on a TDY trip to my hometown, Cleveland, Ohio for to take part in a TAIR trip. TAIR stands for Total Army Involvement in Recruiting. I'll spend the week going around to schools and trying to sell the Army and more specifically, the Defense Language Institute. I'm looking forward to it. I mean, free trip home and a week away from the office! W
