...and Tyjenks commits suicide

Apparently midriff-baring shirts are out. Instead, long, layered shirts are in. The end of an era:

“People are sick of the bare midriff thing,” Pam Cohen, owner of a Manhattan Beach, California, boutique, said . . . “Britney Spears is over. Layering is in.”

I don’t know what “people” she talked to, but it certainly wasn’t me. Or Ty.

Does anybody find it funny these poeple are paying “$38 to $48” for what amounts to a beefy-T?

I wanna live in California, so I can hand my money over like a sheep to a saleswoman at “C&C clothing.”

And while I’m at it, can I pay extra for you to sodomize me and pour sugar in my gas tank? THANKS!

Midriffs and the attendent belly piercings are absolutely disgusting. What are you going to do with that stupid belly button pierce when you get pregnant and your belly button pops out huh chicky-poo?

Ding-dongs. :roll:

Give me normal looking women in normal looking clothes with no piercings any day.

The trick, of course, is not getting pregnant.

And hey, if you do, you got a couple months to remove the offending piercing.

I’m not gonna lie - A good looking stomach with a BB ring is pretty damned hot. But I wouldn’t go so far as to make that a requirement; that’d just be icing on the cake.

I’m with Machfive.

Well, not the wanting to be sodomized part.

Ah, shit. That’s on record now, isn’t it? ;)

While we’re discussing your record, I’ll just note that you edited that post one time and left the sodomy part in. I’m just sayin’.

Yeah, well, I misquoted the price the first time around.

I wouldn’t want people to think I can’t read. But if they wanna think about me being sodomized, hey, whatever get’s 'em off. I’m not gonna judge. ;)

Retailers just really want layering to be in. They always push it because it doubles the number of articles you have to buy to create an outfit. I should know, I’m a schill.

They also want the look to change every year so that people need new wardrobes. I used to be a Nordstrom manager, and we used to sit down and figure how the new stuff could be used to requre new clothes, shoes, makeup, you name it.

Someday, if I’m very lucky, I’ll be able to say “I used to be a computer programmer.”

Nothing would please me more than getting out of this stupid field. It’s fucked up from start to finish. Sadly, computers are the only thing I like working with.

And firewood.

Unfortunately, there’s not much money in firewood.

How do you feel about working with solid gold firewood?

You could probably sell it here in southern California.

That’s for damn sure. I was going to go boycott the Ten Commandments removal in Montgomery, but instead, after work, I am headed to the mall, to picket, and make sure the memory of Brittney, and more importantly her excellent fashion sense, never dies.

It’s good to know that at least one person around here is willing to stand up for principals.

Off ya go, SpoofyChop. Leave the work for me.

Perhaps you just aren’t working for the right company, eh?

I think American tecchies in general are doomed. We’re all going to get outsourced in the next 10 years unless some kind of serious backlash hits, like, soon.

The quality of software will go through the floor. No offense to Indian programmers but to truly do a good job designing and building a system you need face time with the customer and flying people on 15 hours flights from India is not going to be practical. Big body shop companies that suck will outsource but who wants to work for one of those places anyway?

Dammit! Work is shite for many of us. I was enjoying my unwholesome thoughts about “women” (that term is negligible in these imaginings I am speaking of) in this thread. Spoofy then has to start whining about his job again and bring me crashing back into reality.

Cathcart, next time he starts up again, pick up your keyboard and break it over the top of his head. Thx.

Now, back to my happy place:

mmmmmmmm…Brittney/Christina…Brittney/Christina…Brittney/Christina…aaaahhhhh…

Damn straight Xaroc. I think the current outsourcing trend is a large "well, the other guy is doing it"lemming race at the moment. There’s a massive amount of turnover going on in the Indian IT shops, and everyone wants a piece of the actions. Its like another dot-com bubble, and it’ll burst sooner or later because I think that companies will learn again those rules that you describe.

What did I say about that depressing shit!?!

Wow, it is hard to find an attractive stomach via google. Much less an attractive, pierced stomach.
