You make the vote

Ah, it’s a fine line when dealing with the realities of life versus the realities of dealing with douchebags. This post from F My Life is a perfect example:

Today, was my birthday. After hinting for almost 2 months for a Wii, my dad pulls out a shiny new Wii Package. The only problem? The box didn’t have a Wii in it. My dad gave me a Wii box with my VCR inside and a note saying “This is life. Once you think you’re happy, someone crushes it”. FML

Reality or douchebag? I vote the latter.

For English, Press 1, español, prensa numero dos

So many Americans get all up in a hype when foreigners come to the United States and don’t speak English.  I’ll admit, it frustrates me too, but I’m not a big whiner about it because hey, a majority of countries out there speak more than one language.  Why should I be all pissed off because I’m too lazy to learn another language?

I may change this soon, especially after I read the following factoid:

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer  fewer heart attacks than  Americans.

2. The Mexicans  eat a lot of  fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than  Americans. 

3. The Chinese  drink very little  red wine and  suffer fewer heart attacks than  Americans.

4. The  Italians drink a lot of red  wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than  Americans.  

5. The Germans  drink a lot of beers and eat lots of  sausages and fats  and suffer fewer heart attacks than   Americans. 

CONCLUSION

Eat  and drink what you like.
Speaking  English is apparently what kills  you.

…español, prensa numero dos.

Jackassery Award of the Day, Vol. 3

Today’s Jackassery Award of the Day goes to an entire group.  This group happens to be a crap load of Microsoft employees and vendors.

All the beta/RC testers for Windows 7 received an internal newsletter on feature highlights for the new operating system.  Cool, I appreciate that.  What I don’t appreciate is the fact that people started replying all to this massive distribution with thousands of people on it.

First suggestion: Don’t reply all.  This is really email etiquette rule number 1.  The “Reply All” button in Outlook, or any other email client, should be renamed “Annoy the holy hell out of people by clicking this stupid, worthless button”.

Second suggestion: Don’t reply all about the whole not-replying-all thing.  This action makes you look like a bigger jackass then those guilty of violating the first suggestion.  When you and all your colleagues send more “stop replying all” and “please take me off this distro” emails than those who originally replied all, you are way more annoying than the first jackass who was simply asking a question.

Third suggestion: Take this Jackassery Award of the Day and shove it up your own ass.  Maybe it will make you cringe enough to disable you from typing any more replies.  Everyone else can thank me later.

Jackassery!
