TRUE FACT:

when i nearly got bounced from my flight home this last weekend because orbitz is a shuddering pile of fucking horseshit and they offered me flight vouchers if i ended up sleeping on a plastic bench with my coat draped over my head like an airways hobo, my first thought was "if i get these and get to fly out of town for like a one night trip i am going to DC and getting shitfaced with TOMBOT."

RETURN TO GOVT JOB STUFF

ehhh i went to orbitz this time because travelocity nearly stranded me in the desolate cleveland layover wasteland in the not so distant past. they really all kind of suck, also us airways/united seems to lack a basic understanding of "only sell as many actual seats as there are on the plane" so who knows

Do you think it would be easier to raise a boy or a girl?

Do you think it would be easier to raise a boy or a girl?

A girl. I have been a boy. Boys are awful. Plus, I am the dad. Dads and daughters get along, right?

what do you think of the libyan no-fly zone.

I'm sick of playing world police.

is the world a bleak and grim place

Of course it is. People eat dogs and bathe in sewage.

where do you get your ideas for babies?

Top Gear re-runs.

How much lulzsec-type crap have you had to deal with, or used the opportunity to point out to idiotic higher-ups the need for evolved procedures?

my comments on the sitting DIRNSA are not appropriate

the honan hack just goes to prove that if your helpdesk sucks, all your other investments in protecting your customers are a complete waste

What do you predict will be some hot looks for lanyards in 2013?

eight months pass...

today i spotted a woman in her early 20s outside the university of glasgow wearing a white tshirt with the word 'TOMBOT' emblazoned across the chest

startled to see an eruption of ilx into real-life, i did a double-take and she caught me looking wide-eyed at her chest

it was v embarrassing

so i ask: tombot, was this an elaborate psyop to make me appear to be a dirty old man irl?

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 19 July 2018 12:39 (five years ago) link

(it def read 'TOMBOT' and not 'TOMBOY' btw)

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 19 July 2018 12:39 (five years ago) link

so let me amend my question: tombot, did you adopt this username as part of a longterm psyop involving international clothing chain topshop in order to troll me into staring at a woman's chest?

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 19 July 2018 12:42 (five years ago) link

The overwhelming urge to hungrily ogle a woman's chest is perfectly natural for a boy your age. There's no need to blame Tombot or yourself.

Pizza's the food that's sure to please! (Old Lunch), Thursday, 19 July 2018 12:59 (five years ago) link

au contraire, i think there's every need to blame tombot for making me look like a sex pest out there on the bustling streets of scotland's largest city

MY city dammit

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 19 July 2018 13:02 (five years ago) link

sure it wasnt MT city?

dele alli my bookmarks (darraghmac), Thursday, 19 July 2018 13:03 (five years ago) link

tombot's continued silence on this issue speaks volumes imo

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 19 July 2018 14:27 (five years ago) link

No I did not make that shirt

But it is a good story

El Tomboto, Thursday, 19 July 2018 17:59 (five years ago) link

feels like exactly the kind of thing the man behind that shirt would say tbh

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 19 July 2018 18:01 (five years ago) link

Also, best revive ever

El Tomboto, Thursday, 19 July 2018 22:48 (five years ago) link

And congratulations to darraghmac for the heyoooo

El Tomboto, Thursday, 19 July 2018 22:49 (five years ago) link

please, too kind, this is your night, too kind, etc

tombot do you have any lanyard updates

i'm joining the lanyard crowd :(

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Friday, 20 July 2018 00:38 (five years ago) link

The new look in 2018 is BATIK

I bought almost a dozen of them at the Petronas Towers gift shop last month. Many coworkers are looking very fashionable as a result.

El Tomboto, Friday, 20 July 2018 00:40 (five years ago) link

I'm thinking braided leather, kinda boloish

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Friday, 20 July 2018 00:41 (five years ago) link

I’m thinking you’re on a path to destruction

tombot what would the DoD do if the president ordered it to cease planning for/wasting money on climate change? just ignore it?

mookieproof, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 23:09 (five years ago) link

Like squeezing jello. I’m challenged to think of the right wording of the order that would have to come down to make the entire defense apparatus pivot towards spending more money on fuel instead of spending less

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 23:23 (five years ago) link

especially since Mattis has a DEPSECDEF who has made a priority of running an actual audit of DoD expenditures
