Edit: funny picture


Laugh all you want at that picture, but the major chair manufacturers do not gently caress around. In the last year I have had to take a crew into two separate major companies' local offices to perform extremely specific maintenance because:

Company A had a single person in Canada fall off their chair (out of probably a few hundred thousand employees in this exact chair at that company alone). Every location across both the US and Canada (possibly other places) had to have a fourteen-point inspection done on every single chair because of this. Out of the 800 or so my company did, we found zero problems.

Company B decided that, with enough concentrated effort, an employee could conceivably remove the back cushion on their chair, which would then have to be popped back into place for the chair to be fully functional again (total time investment should this happen: like twenty seconds). Because of this, they sent a representative and contracted furniture installation/service companies in at least five countries across the world that I know of for sure to go in and put five self-tapping screws directly into the back of every chair, roughly eight hundred at the location I serviced, so that this was impossible (total time investment per chair: like two to eight minutes).

A few years back a teenage boy was killed when his office chair broke in a way that led to a spring literally tearing his rear end in a top hat open causing him to bleed to death. So I think I understand why they might be a bit nervous after that.

To be fair it was because he kept bouncing up and down so much the gas cylinder ruptured. Someone should hire a company to leash employees to their chair so it doesn't happen again.

I choose to assume it's a page of an awesome Rap Studies textbook, and the passage is chosen as an example of rap that is not good, and is followed by an excerpt from a rap that is good.

To be fair it was a pretty sweet bong and my mom said she was proud of me but my boss said I was an idiot because it was a gravity bong which isn't technically a bong because the smoke isn't filtered through water but since then I've been working on a gravity bong bong so I think I'll get the last laugh.

How does the smoke go down into the cave?

Wouldn't it work better with the pot at the cave entrance, a fan blowing the smoke in the cave, and a bunch of dudes inside.

Or have the cave a closed system.

Guys, it's simple. You need a tunnel. Fan on one end, weed and big guy in the middle, then more fans to really get that smoke out there. Blast that smoke all over the place, start a drum circle and giggle a lot.

The old timey British martial art of "baritsu"



"In 1899, Barton-Wright summarised the essential principles of Bartitsu as:

1. To disturb the equilibrium of your assailant.
2. To surprise him before he has time to regain his balance and use his strength.
3. If necessary, to subject the joints of any parts of his body, whether neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, back, knee, ankle, etc. to strains that they are anatomically and mechanically unable to resist."
