Huge fan of his. Got the chance to interview him once for the online writer's group I'm part of.

So..... professional wrestler Kane is considering running for Knoxville County Mayor in 2018 . It doesn't surprise me, but I think it is kinda weird since I live about 45 miles away and my brother had met him.

Whelp...I interview for a new job in about 12 hours. I stand to actually make significantly less money with this job, even though it pays 25 cents an hour more. But that reason is because I will be working significantly less. I will no longer be on call 128 hours a week, without pay, I will no longer have to wait for my habitually late relief to show up almost every day unpaid, and I will be able to put in a resignation letter that will all but doom my employer at my post.
I generally don't try to get my hopes up in these cases, but when I mentioned my interest in the position the manager scheduled me for an interview before I'd finished my application. That's got to be a good sign.
Of course I still remember when I interview a Journeyman Platemaker job several years back when I worked for the local newspaper and after meeting the guy who got the job I wound up riding the elevator up with the recruiter from HR. In her nervousness at being trapped on an elevator with me she admitted that I was the more qualified candidate, but since I was sub-contracted and the 2nd-most qualified candidate was already an employee of the paper in a different department it was just easier for them to hire him for it. Less paperwork to transfer a current employee than it was to hire a new employee. So I know there's no such thing as a sure-fire job.

I've got a 10k run Saturday afternoon. Looks like I'm going to have a brilliant time.

That's thunderstorms and 37C/98.6F with the humidity factor. And to think that two weeks ago, we were still in the negatives... Man alive.

It's La Nina, I hear on the news.

So I wanted to find the lowest ranking anime on MyAnimeList, and I was going to watch it.
I didn't expect to find a two episode OVA about a woman sitting on a man's face for 67 minutes combined, with no subs to even remotely give any kind of indication to what the hell was going on, but from what I could tell from the three minutes I watched of the beginning and the end, was that she killed someone by just sitting on their face until they suffocated and then laughed about it. From what I could gather, she was retelling the story to someone else and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I gave it a 10/10 regardless and put it on my list.

Never worry about your unfaithful partner watching Netflix without you again and leaving you behind!

How are turkey legs a medieval fantasy thing? They're native to North America.
RE: The Chit Chat Thread: 2 (Electric Boogaloo?) - SamuraiGaiden - 06-13-2016
Goose legs, swan legs, maybe even duck or chicken...but yes, Turkey not so much. You are correct in that strangetude.
I mean, there were royal ranks for Keeper of the Swans and stuff like that. I guess it's just an analog, we don't eat Swans nowadays, so we replace it with Turkey.
Kind of like how no one in their right mind would eat a Pigeon nowadays, but in the early 20th century they were considered a delicacy. They were on the 1st Class menu on the Titanic: Roasted Pigeon.

Actually had some wood pigeon a few years back in London, very good meat.
I don't think they used to eat the inner-grey pigeons, probably just as unappetising as they are today !

Fanta have made a Zero version of Fruit Twist.
If you're an occasional drinker of Fanta, and enjoy Fruit Twise. Buy the Zero version since it tastes exactly the same as the normal one.
