I took it, so I'll post the results. But damn it, this is the reason the Habs scored. You scored 32% femininity, 71% masculinity, and 45% uncertainty! Your soul is masculine. If you are female, you are probably a lesbian. If you are male, you are probably thrilled by this diagnosis, and quite possibly homophobic. That was really retarded. Those questions needed a "who gives a crap?" option. I did, actually, honestly take the "What kind of dating persona do you have?" test, and I'm not kidding: Sorry, but most women would rather see the human species wither to an end--and therefore deny the most fundamental instinct that living creatures have--than sleep with you.

I'd take it. The sec. world hasn't really interested me mostly because our sec. department is full of FBI agent wanna-be weenies.... "We need to investigate the situation before the purpetrator reconfigures the logging components to tamper with solid evidence ::snort snort::." I'm surprised they don't talk into their speaker phones using 10-codes. Honestly though, that one's probably worth it. I rack most of those up there with the extended support on an RCA; just another way to bring in more money from customers. CCIE, CISSP, RHCE, some of the developer certs - those are probably worth it.

Georgia has introduced the "Hope Scholarship" program. In a nutshell, the lottery pays for every (yes every) high school student to go to college as long as they can maintain a 'B' average. They must retain that B throughout the college years to keep the scholarship. It covers all tuition, most fees, and includes a book allowance. This has *really* made college "grades 13 -16." One of the most apparent downsides has been that students (and *parents*) see college as a right rather than a privelege. Teachers have been catching a lot of hell for giving grades less than a B. As parents see that college is covered, you'd better believe that that savings goes towards more important things like BMWs and boats. When little Jimmy's butthole teacher "gives" him a C instead of a B, *someone* has hell to pay! That "Hope money" was his way through college! I have a fancy car! It's seen as something to be taken away rather than something to be earned. Hell, they call the H.S. Diploma a "College Prep Diploma" 'round these parts. It's a double-edged sword. Make it available to everyone and the collective benefit is going to drop. You'd damn well better believe I've been dumping into a 529 for my daughter already. She's five and can make it through Sophmore year. That said, if she lands a rockin' scholarship, *then* I buy my boat! -Jeff

I predict not so close, 27-10 Jags. Had a good game last week, but I expect that we'll return to form this week. If I'm wrong, *next* week's prediction does a 180.. a little consistancy goes a long way for me. -Jeff

I've done that twice now, and the food ain't half bad. I think they're owned by the same shop that owns Red Slopster.

So I need one now to go see concerts and whatnot in Toronto, check out the falls, or visit family? I wasn't *going* to get it renewed, but after reading that I guess I kind of have to.

My wife, her mother, and her sister have all done it. My wife doesn't anymore, though, because she doesn't believe it's worth the hassle. Her sister still does, though. Not only does she go get in line, she drags her little princess of a husband out with her and he waits in the lines she can't quite get to. She does this every year and then compliains about how bad the waits are. -Jeff

Canada Deal for 2007?

You know what? As a father, I'm 100% completely and tottaly against ANYONE that doesn't agree with this! I love my daughter to death, but her future coworkers, schoolmates, and the neighbors won't. Kids need to be prepared to deal with the real world when they get there, mine included. Bending the rules for them now sets expectations for later in life... (insert cliche rant here). -Jeff

He's clearly a jack-ass, but honestly, so what? Yeah he said a bunch of Real Bad Things . He's not the first one and he's not going to be the last one. From the sound of his voice, his herion guy didn't pull through before the show. I think someone else may have said it already, but I'd guess rehab checkin in T-48 hours. Don't give idiots like this the 15 minutes they're looking for. He's no better than the next confederate biggot. The only difference is that this jerk off has a microphone. -Jeff

I found this on a Python blog that I read. Now I've got it making it's way across the office. This thing has been pretty accurate thus far. -Jeff http://www.gotoquiz.com/results/what_ameri...ent_do_you_have Your Result: The Inland North You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

What works one week isn't always going to click the next.

No but like I said, there *is* that creek on the otherside of...

Right! *If* I remember right, it's an Indian thing that they would not agree to move. There's a creek near there that my buddies and I used to ride mountain bikes/walk up back when I was 14/15/16; we'd pass that cemetary all the time as that's about where we got bored and turned around. -Jeff

It's actually still there. There's a little cemetary in the middle of one of the lots. Used to ride my bike past it all the time as a kid. -Jeff

Yeah that's what I noticed.... wtf? Kinda takes the "meaning" out of it.

Yea, next up we have... 1. Make sure Kiss puts out an album a year. 2. Free "We're #1" foam hands to all NASCAR race attendees. 3. Price ceilings on designer jeans.

I drove a truck up to the border of that place and turned around and went back a few years back. There's a mailbox out there in the middle of nowhere. Hang a left headed out from Las Vegas at that box. Head down the open range road for 11 miles. Boom, signs and cameras, guards on a hilltop, "deadly force authorized." So yeah, we turned around and went back.

Yeah, whatever works. I always thought it would have been Britney trying to loose the good girl image.

I can believe it. She's come along way from little "wait 'till your married girls" Britney. I always figured it would happen to either her or Christina; a tape comes out, Playboy, something.

Took all of 2 seconds to find it on google. Dunno, girl looks Britney-esque, but it could easily be BS.

I agree with a lot of this, honestly. There are a large number of "if Pastor Joe says it, then it must be true!" types out there. If Pastor Joe says gays are the bane of society, then gays are the bane of society! That aside, he's not simply speaking of Christians. Where's the muslim outrage to all of the middle eastern extremists? The religious *leaders* really haven't done a whole hell of a lot on that front. Edit: Just to make sure I'm clear, I don't believe religion is the cause for hatred of gays. I think that's a line of crap. I think that's more the fault of "kill everything different" syndrom. Jeff

I wish they'd start just winning these things classic style, my heart can't ta
