If I can change gears for a bit, can you tell me about the time you ate 24 eggs for charity?
I couldn’t even get loving 10 of them down. Guy Fieri, a buddy of mine, put everything but the eggs in the drat thing. I was on fire. It looked like somebody took a big poo poo on a loving plate of eggs. I was dying.

But you know what? After the whole thing was done, the kid that actually started this Twitter thing, came up with this loving egg-eating contest, he walks up to me. He was a little gamer kid, some kid that sits in his bedroom playing Call of Duty all day long. Him and his buddies were just sitting around, and I think they were huffing paint or something that day because they were all high as a kite. Little teenage kids. I go, “Why did you do this?” He goes, [stoner voice] “I dunno. I was just bored.” I go, “What!?” But hey, it loving raised $10,000 and we matched it and it was for a good cause. An actual friend of mine who grew up around the corner from me showed up. I hadn’t seen him for 20 years. And he actually, I kind of passed the baton—or passed the fork, I would say—and he finished the eggs for me. We had a really good time. It was really cool.

probably though in this meritocracy called American Dream if you didn't get fired it's because you're not a complete piece of poo poo or you know whose rear end to kiss which is it? i bet i know

You are right because that wasn't my intention at all, I don't have the time this week for a long term commitment to a SA debate thread...it's way too nice out and that just really isn't my style anyways. :)

I'm serious though about UI, last I heard processing times for claims are about 10 weeks and extended UI benefits in the whole country have been eliminated since 12/28/13 and clearly aren't coming back thanks to John Boehner/GOP obstructionism...so now isn't the time to be ambivalent about losing ur job just because it means paid vacation for the summer. hth
