Re: Open Bar: RECOMMENDABLE

Growing the fu manchu back in.

Also, we got another Safety Officer.  It isn't looking good so far.  He told me I had to tarp the ALL WEATHER welding machines.  I asked him if there was an easier way to gather up scorpions, snakes, and killer bees.  He then ORDERED me to do it.  I showed him the org chart and explained the chain of command to him, as well as the fact that his title is "safety technician", not "safety director", as his helmet says (he had the helmet made...and illegally modified).

He is currently whimpering to my boss.

Somehow, this all seems so terribly familiar.  ALMOST LIKE IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE.

You reached the end of the Tucson ouroboros again. Expect a threat of the end and a nightmare of teeth, before the nagging sense of repetition comes.

Expect it?  I set my fucking watch to it.

Seriously, how fucking hard is it to find a safety technician that doesn't think he's Goddamn Lee Iacoca?  This jackass has "Capt <last name>" on his helmet, and told one of my guys to refer to him as captain (Wtf?  For real.  WTF?  CAPTAIN?).  I told my guy to refer to ME as "Emperor by Grace of God Roger I", and to refer to the safety officer as "Just another bloody peasant".  He got mad, started bitching about me "undermining his authority".  I pointed out that he hasn't got any.

The man is obviously unhinged.  Time to push things along, and cut right to the end.

This is less an issue with authority or chain of command, more an issue where this guy needs to show the rest of the area how big ze cockles are.  He is clearly stuck at pre-high school levels.

And I am jet lagged and irritable.  I needed a victim, and LO!  There he was.

THANKS, TUCSON!

More sentences need to have the phrase, "and LO!" in them.

AND LO!  The ice cream man was capped in his ass, and did perish from it.  His life ran out upon the orange creamsicles, and still none would partake of them.

This one should be an interesting read for most of you.

That is so so rad! I wish the US would go in that direction. I wish the whole rest of the WORLD would go in that direction.

We still have a long way to go. At least if the comments sections of newspapers are anything to go by. But I was extremely happy to read that article. Warmed my pinko heart.

I used to think that the show must be real, because the plots, narratives, language, and behaviors were so awful, there's no way they could be deliberate choices.

But then I remembered that the average person's intelligence drops when watching TV.

"Scripted reality"

The producers sit down, decide what conflicts they want at the start of the season, and pass on gossip/use misleading editing designed to create those conflicts.

So it's not entirely scripted, but it's definitely fake.  After all, it's too expensive to actually follow these people around with cameras for 18 hours a day, go through all that footage, edit it etc.
