Hey, that last one is just plain wrong. Hats are against dress code.
why the f*ck is your first floor the second floor
because we have a ground floor
No you asslamp the first floor is the ground floor.
As a French I confirm that the first floor isn’t the ground floor
What you must recall is that counting starts at 0 :)
Mind you, the hospital I work in you can either exit onto ground level on floor 2, 1, G or 5. :)
I’m extra glum at work today, after spending yesterday on the water with @Aiyestel and then having a lovely evening with @thenoisyfrog.
I think it’s withdrawal.
Work generally gets in the way of having an awesome life, I find.
@heybrett showed the @bmwmotorradusa #RnineT around #Maine and happened upon this peculiar #VW beetle? #ironandair #morethanmotorcycles #englishness #britishcars

No no no. Not a beetle.
A Morris Minor, far superior ;)
But I would say that, I own one:
Darren Wilson’s “blowout fracture”
If you’ve been keeping up with what the media is saying about Darren Wilson, you may have read this article that claims he suffered a blowout fracture: a fracture of one or more bones surrounding the eye. Here is a screencap from the article of “Darren Wilson’s” CT scan….
And then [Vimes] realized why he was thinking like this.
It was because he wanted there to be conspirators.
It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy.
You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn’t then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people.
It was so much easier to blame it on Them.
It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No-one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them.
We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do the bad things.

That’s how much the price of college in America has increased over the past 4 decades.
That is not a typo.

How in the hell can the police in Ferguson be stopped? What can be done? They are purposely trying to incite riots!
I want to know this, too! Does this mean any police department in the country can turn into the private army of the local government, with no way for anyone else to intervene?
Send in federal troops, or the National Guard.
At this point, it’s well past time for the National Government to step in.
And Scheming, to answer your question, the thing that’s standing between the police and invading armies is the good police officers, which DO exist, on one’s police force. Scary and sad.
The National Guard has been there since Monday, and they’re not there to control the police.
Calling in the National Guard — a military organization — is the farthest thing from the de-escalation needed. They have been used to quell bona fide riots in the past, and to enforce desegregation, but they’ve also been tools to enforce segregation and quell legitimate protest. And people ended up dead.
Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming
We’re finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio(Anyone else darkly amused by the fact that the governor of Missouri is named Nixon?)
A few days ago I’d have said the one hope was for a change of police leadership, but that happened — and it looked really good for a day or so, and then they went right back to tear gas and control and harassment.
