Steven Spielberg And The Curse Of George Lucas
- HARRISON FORD
- Alright folks, let's get this show on the road. I want to make it to Country Buffet by four.
- CATE BLANCHETT
- Pryvet, Harrison. I am evil Soviet. You vill help me find Moose and Squirrel, yes?
- HARRISON FORD
- Holy Christ, you're not going to talk like that the whole movie are you?
- CATE BLANCHETT
- Da. You vill help locate MacKuffin now.

You know …
Just …
Arg! Words fail …
Why Steven? Why?
At least now I get to make my own hours …
The job has:
- $0 salary and no equity (you're supposed to be compensated in experience)
- no benefits other than vacation and sick time: no insurance, for example
- no possibility of promotion or raise, ever
- no job description: just do what you're told
- micromanaging boss asks about project status every hour
- strict hours, starting at 8:30AM sharp
Would you work with micromanaging boss, no salary, and all your work thrown away?
I worked a job like that once, only it started at 7:30am. And yes, it was just as sucky as the job above was described. And I still have flashbacks. It sucked.
I'm glad I no longer have to go there anymore.
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
For Bunny, who likes grammar and word play.
The title of this post? It's a grammatically correct sentence wouldn't you know.
Also, add punctuation to this sentence to make it correct:
James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher
And finally, while not English, here's a poem in a dialect of Chinese that's just as confusing as the “Buffalo buffalo” sentence.
For those with more time than money
Final link for the day (yea!)—for my friends who play Dungeons & Dragons; too cheap to spring for metal miniatures?
Try origami miniatures (link via columbina), some of which are to scale.
