Nuke the gay whales for Jesus....

There, I should be completely unemployable now.

Depends entirely on the type of conversation.

What you see here, is the same me as the me in meat space.

I have done that

Is it time to change the subject with pie?

I don't say anything here or anywhere else that should cause problems at work, and aside from comparing my wife to an old Plymouth or suggesting she go to a party as Ironsides none of it causes grief at home.

Hey Nick, I'm pretty sure that's a Ford Pie Wagon.

In reply to HappyAndy:

It is, I googled Ford pie, I thought it ironic

It's all about context.

The exact phrase I use on my 20 something nieces and nephews, I'm just some old guy that doesn't get it.

You too? It was hard for my dad to impress on me that someone's reputation is their most important asset, it was hell passing that lesson on to my kid and probably worse given the prevalence of social media. I can only hope that she has listened to her dear old Dad and hasn't posted something that will follow her forever, because the Internet never forgets. So far I think it's not happened.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I got roundly cussed on another forum for suggesting that care be taken with what's put out there, to include personal info as well as things like credit card info, etc. One guy even said it was his prerogative to store pics of him and his wife having sex online if he so chose and that no one should be able to access them without his permission. Sure, in an ideal world. This ain't an ideal world, old boy.

Don't hold out on us! Link?

Ya'll worry too much. I mean, E36 M3, I get paid to play with cars!

The internet is like a neck tattoo. It's forever. At least until I get my hands on the launch codes. Then you berkeleyers that survive the nuclear winter better know how to farm and fend for yourselves. All your narcissistic Facebook bleating about insignificant details of your little lives will be a thing of the past. I will restore your virginity.

See, that is an example of too much info to have taken out of context during a job interview.

In reply to Giant Purple Snorklewacker:

Jihad much?

In reply to Appleseed:

Jihad has religious connotation. This is just restoring population levels to about 15th century concentration so what rises from the ashes can breathe a little (albeit with respirators for a few years).

Call it "Culling". :)

I'd really like to meet you.

Maybe, but my life is much better this way.

I'm rooting for a good plague rather than nuclear winter but the result is the same. Fewer teeming hoards crawling across the face of this lovely planet spoiling it for the rest of us.

The anti-vax crowd is working on it!

I want asteroid. If it was good enough for the dinosaurs, its damn well good enough for me.

Right on Appleseed, meteor impacts > nukes or plagues.

Getting executed by Kim soon?

Nope. Didn't get the haircut yet.
