Ask TOMBOT

sometimes i atak rollerbladers

roxy, I am still trying to figure that one out since I've realized I am too old and have too many responsibilities to be drinking until 2am for half the nights out of the week.

I think for Xmas I am going to ask for a bunch of magazine subscriptions so I always have something to read around the house that doesn't take as much time as books, and I think I'm going to upgrade my netflix, because I would probably be better served by watching movies and reading news than by zoning out with playstation or comforting detective TV all the time. Even when I'm relaxing I feel better if my relaxation involves learning about new things.

tombot who would win in a fight between bruce willis with numchcuks vs. a stormtrooper on rollerblades with an aluminum baseball bat

Tombot, does your housekeeper clean out the litter box?

Even if there's pee on the floor?

you are leaving out a lot of variables I consider important. If I assume the stormtrooper is approaching at speed on his skates and prepared to just clothesline the shit out of mr. willis Mailbox Baseball style then def. the stormtrooper - OTOH with proper timing, Bruce could just as easily duck into a somersault and clip his would-be assailant's ankles with the 'chucks leading to a spectacular make-out session with the pavement

Mr. Plains: I have not gotten around to investigating the litterbox situation since the housekeeping operation took place. I am still dumbfounded by other amazing maid feats too numerous to list here.

And anyway Dr. Ben never pees on the floor (knock on wood)

tangential: my cat crapped in the car on the way back from RI to NY. he had one of my sweaters in there.. RIP green itchy sweater.

Kurt Cobain was still alive when this cat was born.

Stop this nonsense/stop tellin' lies
Kurt Cobain is Still Alive!!

tom is it a coincidence that the id for this thread is 6660

Have you considered this litter box?

If that was my cat, his ass would be sticking out of the hole while his face was in the litter.

Mr. Redd et le Blecchs: No, I have not. Upon brief consideration of that litter box, however, I would rather the cat's toilet not become a conversation piece, which would invariably occur were I to spend whatever ridiculous sum that thing probably costs.

on the plus side, your cat would be able to pretend it was a spaceman everytime it pooped

i sort of want a toilet that looks like that

max: it would seem that it is a coincidence, since the last time I was credulous enough to put any stock in numerological or other mystic hoo-ha was probably around 1987 at the very latest.

Could someone Photoshop a little space helmet on that cat?

also, max, you should know that real spaceman poopers look like this:

boooooring

tombot have you ever tried teaching a cat to use the toilet?

(a friend of mine tried this with his two cats--he said the smarter one was getting it but the stupider one was dragging her down, so he gave it up)

charles mingus wrote a book abt this

O GREAT NOW THIS IS THE SPACEMAN POOPERS THREAD

mr. proof: Yes, I have, many times. However I've been told it requires near-constant attention and much tenacity, which my work and school schedules since becoming a man who keeps cats prevent me from applying to the task.

i understand one of your cats is a doctor, though, so it shouldn't be too difficult

You really gotta have more than one toilet in the house for the cat training to work. Unless you don't mind shitting on newspapers ala Brian Wilson.

could always use a litter box

i understand one of your cats is a doctor, though, so it shouldn't be too difficult

Actual LOL-ing^^^^^

For clarification, his doctorate is in Bein' A Fuckin Clown All The Time

Dear herr Tombot,

If I took a job that is kind of shitty work (database management + data entry) and not related to my interests/training at all vs. my current job that has some relation to my interests but is in an unbearable work environment (writing and research) would I be happier???

my hours are long here and they would be shorter. I would also, presumably, not be cheated out of my vacation time any more.

well deej if you're asking the question it seems clear that the current job's relationship with your area(s) of interest is not enough to make you feel like showing up, so I would say go for the other opportunity. Being cheated out of your paid time off is a really awful shit thing to have happen to you so you definitely should be shopping the resume already.

I'll tell you one thing I've never even considered that I could really go out there and get a job that had "some relation to my interests" and have that be like some cool kind of thing. I hate to be mr. who-moved-my-cheese about it but seriously what you LIKE to do and what you SHOULD be doing are rarely the same thing

not in a "you can't write at all you should def consider just being a db mgr" sense but in a "for your own sake forget whatever career counselors have ever told you about doing what you love" sense

Have you read The Jasons by Ann Finkbeiner? I think you would maybe enjoy.

there are no good pictures of william atherton from real genius.

on the internet, I should specify.

also heave ho I said good pictures. like a decent-size still frame of william atherton as dr. jerry hathaway with minimal dithering and compression artifacts.

should joe gibbs be removed from the hall of fame
