“Every 30 minutes, a man in American is diagnosed with prostate cancer.”

I no longer like your help line, Blue Cross Blue Shield.

If you could grow a mustache like the rest of us, this wouldn’t be a problem.

Sometimes I love Wolfram Alpha. And then sometimes I decide to save myself some math time and punch in ‘distance light can travel in one second’ and instead of answering my question it gives me a summary comparison of CANada and INdia.

EDIT: Woo Bahimiron made my post make no sense.

And now everyone thinks you’re strange because I deleted my post, having remembered that, duh, that’s c.

I think in addition to an irregularly receding hairline, my hair is also starting to thin a bit in front. While not yet falling under the Willis Rule, I am about… a quarter-inch from it.

Of course, this WOULD be realized in the middle of Mo’vember, when one cannot shave their head due to looking absolutely STUPID with a shaved head and a mustache.

While searching for a suitable photo of Benjamin Sisko with which to reprimand Mightynute, I found this page containing an anti-Obama rant only notable for the number of photoshops inserting Obama’s face over Star Trek characters.

So… that’s better.

No, no. Shaved head + goatee or vandyke = acceptable.

Shaved head + mustache = G. Gordon Liddy, and no one wants to look like THAT motherfucker.

The only examples I can think of are professional wrestlers.

So…yeah. Avoid.

Anybody here got Il 2 Sturmovik Birds of Prey?

I’ve played all the missions in Battle of Britain on simulator, and it still won’t unlock Battle of Stalingrad.

Help?

PS3, Xbox, or PC?

What are you TALKING about? No one could say no to this face:

Mightynute · 2010-11-09T12:45:38.000Z

I will heart punch the crap out of you, John Many Jars…

Demon_G_Sides · 2010-11-09T13:05:19.000Z

Charles Bronson also says otherwise. England’s most famous prisoner!

Ten minutes on hold just to try and set up a non-emergency doctor’s appointment. I think I’ll try back later.

Why can’t I do this online?

I hate computer hackers on TV shows and in movies.

Do you think having to “write lines” as a punishment in school could have caused minor arthritic damage that developed into serious problems later in children’s lives?

Also, Stan “the Man” Staziak was my favorite wrestler to hate.

Delta · 2010-11-10T01:24:39.000Z

Oh, thank God that’s over. I’ve got a pretty strong immune system, so I don’t come down with much, but last night I was struck with food poisoning and one of those horrible minor tickly throats that are basically nothing but cause misery no end. I was awake until 5 without being sick but feeling at any moment like I might die, dreaming feveredly about Call of Duty and Rum Doings.

But ah! The morning always comes. Here it is.

I hate talking to people on the phone.

Matt Bowyer:

Blue Cross Blue Shield has a voice-activated automated attendant when you call. Normally I hate these, but this one is fairly impressive. It understood “Aye” in place of yes, and when it asked me if I was a member, insurer, or hospital, it correctly figured out what “the first one” meant.

I’ve found most of these systems to be quite clever; they almost always connect me to a real person when I say “fuck off, let me talk to a real person.”
