Lounge, I has queztions for you...
Ever eaten one of them 5.75 oz things of pringles at one time? You know, the ones that are slightly taller than a thing of 3 tennis balls and probably have enough calories to last you the whole day?

Did you feel sick afterwards?

Are the words of the prophets written on the subway walls?

Why will no one hire me?

Would there be world peace if we all walked around naked? I mean, who would drop bombs on other people, just because a naked guy told them to?

33. Technically, yes
But when there's anal leakage, don't we all suffer in the end.

Ha, "in the end." Get it?

8. Job hunting - ugh.
fax/email us your papers and then get lost. I was out of work for 5 years right after my car accident and when I started looking again I had to change careers at 45 yrs old. It took 300 resumes to get even one nibble and most of those turned out to be a wild goose chase.

Remember this, if a 45 yr old black woman in a wheelchair with a HS education can find a job then so can you. :)

There isn't a word big enough to describe how big a pile of good vibes I'm sending you right now. You can do this.

:hi:

12. Thanks. It's not such a big deal, really...
Just a part-time job, since I'm still in school and all... But, damn, I need to save up money for college. One place I drove past today had a help-wanted sign, but when I got closer, it turned out that they were out of business, and the building was for sale.:wtf:

So did your job search eventually end well? :hi:

16. I have a WONDERFUL job
The most wonderful business owner on the planet hired me as a clerk in his human resource office and put someone in charge of teaching me all about human resources. I now negotiate and process benefits for our 30,000 employees in 10 different states. The man told me he was hiring because if anyone can fight back from what I went through and look for a job instead of sitting around on disability then I obviously would be an asset.

Everyone should be so lucky to have a boss like mine.

11. My answers
Did you feel sick afterwards?
-Yes

Are the words of the prophets written on the subway walls?
-If those words are 'bush sucks' then I say yes

Why will no one hire me?
-Overqualified :)

Would there be world peace if we all walked around naked? I mean, who would drop bombs on other people, just because a naked guy told them to?
-Yes, because we would follow the guy with the biggest missile around who would tell us we could have bigger missiles if we just killed those people with the oil.

17. Ok, more questions!
Why do places have help-wanted signs if they're actually out of business?

How many people with wilderness survival skills would it take, provided they could find a place where hunting was permitted and one could set up a tent without paying to keep it there, to form a long-term self-sustaining hunting-gathering community?

If such a community could thrive, would its children learn the story of how their ancestors had returned to living respectably off of the earth, and saved their children from having to whore out their minds, as most people have to do in that other society where the food is kept under lock and key?

How the hell do I think of this shit?

Should I? Is it good? All I usually watch is Daily Show/Colbert Report. And sometimes Hamtaro. :blush:

26. You are as always profound
I'm ashamed to say I've done that.

I did feel badly afterwards.

I just posted the Sound of Silence before I read this...

I don't know why no one will hire you...

Naked people would be hard to take as seriously I suppose, but who knows.

28. My answers:
1. Yes, I have. And I was hungry again, two hours later.

2. Not quite sick, but I had a "gut feeling".

3. Nah, those are mostly the words of drunks and people looking to throw their ex-girlfriends under the bus (in at least the idiomatic sense).

4. You should probably wear pants to the job interview.

5. I don't think so. If we're all naked, then why would the fact that the guy telling us to be angry just happens to be naked have any bearing? :)

I thought it would make a better impression to just show up wrapped in a zebra hide... :shrug:

35. All that means is that you've killed a zebra at some point.
In some cultures, that makes you somebody that was hungry, and is no longer. Here, you're just some nutjob in a zebra-colored dress.

Who knew? :shrug:
