I've been RAPED
I have a single family home located in West Columbia, SC. Not too long ago, sewage treatment for my area (the Springdale area) was handed over to the City of Cayce, a shitty low-rent ugly little bit of the generally beautiful Columbia metropolitan area.
This asshole, if you will, of the area then began to have UNCONSENTUAL SEX WITH ME IN MY RECTUM. WITHOUT LUBE. Every month they pull up infront of my house in their beat up piece of shit 15-year-old F150 with a poor man's version of a monster truck suspension (wood blocks under the leaf springs) and proceed to FUCK ME OUT OF 37.69 a FUCKING MONTH. Yeah, that little 69c was a nice touch. You fucking rapists.
Yup- it's a racket... It's just about as bad with my friggin' trash. They come up once a week- the days vary, could be Monday one week and Friday the next... Then they charge me about $43 per 3 months. The problem I have with these friggin morons is that they convienently forget that I paid the last time and double, sometimes triple, charge me every friggin time. AND when I bring copies of the checks that I paid them with they always say the same thing "I guess it hasn't gotten into our system yet..." Um- you're a business that is all over the region and you have no fucking clue how to keep accounting books.... Yeah... I'll believe that when giant monkies fly out of my ass...

I can hardly wait until they do this with our health care.

Ditto. My old apartment had their water through the city and it was the same scenario. They would constantly try to charge me for my next door neighbors water though.
They could give me water, but they couldn't figure out where to send the bill.

Decoy Effect
Just read an article over at The Old New Thing about the Decoy Effect. Very interesting. By adding a third choice, you can skew opinion towards one of two legitimate choices.
You are asked to choose between A and B. 50% of people pick A, 50% pick B. If you want to push people towards A, you can easily do this by adding a third choice C that is not as good as A or B. Just make sure that choice A is better than C in more respects than B is. People use choice C as the benchmark; they see that A is twice as better than C than B and therefore pick A more often.
Keep an eye out for this kind of gaming in real life. If I find any I'll post 'em here.
And you included a bad URL just to see if anybody was paying attention, right?

Actually, my very not-smart smiley code was blowing away the URL, changing b l o g s.microsoft.com to b l a r g s.microsoft.com. C'est la guerre.

Grizzindhouse
So, just saw
Grindhouse yesterday. Was gonna build up to an amazing review with tons of screenshots and clips and all kinda stuff, then hit ya with a "Reel Missing" message below the fold. Since I can't find one, I'll have to write a substantially abbreviated and less multimediated review.
I got an idea!
Hey, was reading another blarg
and saw this cool thing--it was an "open thread"! That means that the blarg
post didn't contain any information relevant to anyones interests; the readers of the blarg
were supposed to comment on stuff that's interesting to them at the current moment!
So, try it. Please, since this is a new blarg
, post something for God's sake. Even if you're passing through and will never be back again. Extra internets if you post something funny.

We have to use all our cunning on this one. Ideally at the same time! For in the realm of logic...I fight unarmed.

Weird....your comments went all angry and stupid on that last post. It WAS funny, but the blarg cat obviously got its retarded blockyness in the way.

Tough shit; deal with blarg
cat. U fail; no internets.

Well, a cat's job is to get in the way. So a cat picture blocking your text is to be expected.

Another image 4 u
Introducing the What the MotherFuck!?! kid. Please use on this blarg

Do NOT fuck with crocodiles
You heard the
story. You wanted the pics--you sick asshole. If you have a strong stomach, continue reading (its wrapped in a NSFW. Go ahead and click)...
Answer
Earlier quiz has now an answer.
Blarg cat
Added some code to the Smilies template so you can use the blarg's
mascot in your comments. The extended BBCodes are:
- [ blarg ]
Puts blarg cat inline in your text
- [ blarg.l ]
Puts blarg cat floating to the left of your text
- [ blarg.r ]
Puts blarg cat floating to the right of your text.
Make sure not to place the included spaces within the []'s. Examples after the bump.
When it comes to blarg cat floating right, it helps to put the tag in, hit enter, and start writing on the line below the tag. Isn't HTML fun? Piece of fucking shit markup language agasdffasdfdf....

Added a few more fun ones; this one's the freaked-out coder guy from www.codinghorror.com. Perfect for nightmarish programming posts.
2 Posted by McGurk on April 13, 2007 04:51 PM (Ri74D)
Very
cool!
3 Posted by Pixy Misa on April 13, 2007 06:37 PM (PiXy!)
Forgot to mention that the coding horror guy tag is [ codinghorror ].
Not sure what to do with the image stepping all over other stuff on the page. I'll probably see if I can add some stuff to the comment template to help fix it...

Not kidding. Please put money in my PayPal account so we can buy her a pole for the bar.
OUR Bartender, you greedy bastard.
I have some Pine poles at my house, we will have to sand them down to prevent splinters.
