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

-ology

mine studied "pillow"

feh, oberlin grads

meowsicology

probably explains why he was found wandering homeless in a bad neighborhood, at least

"field research"

I was making a joke about the social sciences

i was trying to make jokes too!

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.

southeast jerome y/n?

dude, the redskins are terrible.

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

xp "dithering"

to explain my response to mookieproof a little better, it's hard to enjoy Mr. Portis' character interviews when he's always getting hurt and his team is always losing games that they shouldn't be losing because their coaching staff is some kind of nursing home nightmare.

joe gibbs should not be removed from the hall of fame.

it's still kind of weird to be removed from 24/7 skins. less weird to be removed from wilbon's annual hockey column.

that said, for sheer assholish trainwreckness, not even the Danny can compete with the knicks.

you should beat the shit out of tony kornheiser, btw

we all should

Kornheiser is a guy who just kind of seems like he hates sports but knows he couldn't pull an Olbermann.

Dear Tombot, why are you always so :-( ?

hey tombot, shall we dance to yelle's a cause des garcons?????

It is a cute song.

Dear Tombot, why are you always so :-( ?

Well, lately, it would be because 2007 is shaping up to be quantitatively and qualitatively the worst year of my life on record. The wife and I split up, one of my best friends and his wife split up, and all my favorite bars are shutting up shop, not to mention it looks like it's going to be the fucking Patriots & Cowboys in the Super Bowl. PUKE. Also I haven't been sleeping well but that just seems petty in the face of everything else.

hey tombot, shall we dance to yelle's a cause des garcons?????

absolutely! it would be my pleasure.

:( Thinking of u bro

so she got the kids and you got ILX?

(sorry)

seriously though, hearing about that makes me really sad + scares me to death. hope you feel better soon. the holidays are the worst when you're feeling down.

so she got the kids and you got ILX?

We split the kids, I got the class clown who can't read and she got the moody goth.

there's a lazy ILE zing in ther somewhere

Tombot, did you read Charlie Wilson's War? When I sat thru the Sorkinized Tom Hanks adap last night, I imagined you screaming at the screen.

xpost, so many.
