rob, most stores keep a cat for rodent control. I suspect it’s against the Dept of Health rules but so are bake sales at school fundraisers.

Kens, I’m glad you’re beginning to move closer over to reality than those whining Democrats we have all over this thread.

more4less — i tend not to take lunch very often. Maybe once or twice per week (and usually only a 1/2 hr). In my head I trade that for screwing around on the interwebs. I’d feel I’d have to be far more *consistently* productive if I took an hour lunch everyday.

Oh — and just to be clear. I came in *today* at 7:45. I normally get here at 9:00 and leave at 5:00. 🙂 Those are my “official” hours.

next month – m4l

HA!! Does anyone here shop at the associated on 5th ave and union? I was doing my nightly ghetto food shopping last night and i came across a cat in the store! He was meowing like mad and looked like garfield. he was really friendly and i was petting and playing with him (think it was him, not sure) for a while and he started following me to the point where i feel like some of the other shoppers thought i brought my own cat in the supermarket to go shopping with me :-/ anyway, he was really cute and friendly, and was just wondering if it’s normal to have cats in a supermarket or if perhaps someone abandoned him there. Then im in the produce section (youre supposed to shop in that section last btw, not first like most people do), and im man handling the tomatos and realized ew i was just petting some cat hahaha. the cat was mostly lingering in the pet food aisle btw. i wasnt hallucinating cuz someone else petted him too! he was seriously loud.. other than the slutty cats who linger in my bedroom windows alleyway, ive never heard a cat meow that loud before.

Dave and Legion will like this…. [Hiding from bxgrl]…..

An economics professor at a college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before,
but had once failed an entire class.

That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”.
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A…
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B..
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D!
No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that. DISCUSS…
