Re: Buckaroo Banzai Lives! Being fairly ignorant of how things work for the Phillipines (in terms of mail order), I might suggest you try Columbia House's or BMG's DVD clubs. I got mine through CH. Fairly inexpensive (no more so than a new release DVD, if memory serves... it might've even been less exepensive than that). It's worth it for the short documentary of Buckaroo's childhood, and some of the deleted/special features. Funny thing is, I played the ending credits FIRST, simply to hear the theme song. Anybody know if they ever released a soundtrack?

Re: Musings on Random Musings Here's one... what would keep one from a clearance? I mean, would a misdemeanor do it? I know I can get a secret; one of my sergeants (who works for the State Dept in his civvie job) tells me there are guys who have grand theft auto on their records with TS clearance. Anybody know if that's possible? I'd just like to know what I can tell employers...

Re: Musings on Random Musings What really irks me is that I'm SUPPOSED to have at least a Secret clearance (certain personal knowledge neccesitates it). My unit has dragged it's feet for the past 6 years, everywhere from ignoring my requests to telling me outright that I don't need it. Found the order that states that I do. Now that I'm on the way out, of course, they're not too inclined to waste time with it. I guess I can wave buh-bye to some federal jobs.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Sounds a bit like... justice, eh? Worldmaker, hope better days find you soon.

Re: Buckaroo Banzai Lives! Thank ya. S'been awhile. *can't wait to go home and plug in the Spec Edition DVD*

Re: Buckaroo Banzai Lives! *fondly remembers the ending credit musical score* Wherever you go... there you are. Can't wait to see this!

Re: A Thread for Random Mooings I know we say the sky is blue because that's what we've been taught to call that color. But what color is it really?

Re: The cranky thread 3000+ people die during 9/11. Scores of thousands perish in the recent tsunami disaster. And people here. STILL. DRIVE. LIKE. ASS.

Re: The cranky thread

Re: The cranky thread From either end, I imagine. Ouchie.

Re: The cranky thread That happens here a lot. It's bad enough when it's not marked, but when people deliberately take stuff that's marked as yours, that's grounds to seeing justice done. It was suggested that hot sauce be added to the meal. My brother did this to a guy at work; had him in tears by the time he was done. Turns out it was one of the very products Klytus linked to.

Re: The cranky thread I don't even really look at them like I'm expecting something... I mean, I watch them to make sure they clear the door, but that's about it. Held the door open for a girl here at work (I hold it open for anybody behind me, so it's not like I was trying for chivalry points). She looked at me, kept walking. My response was to loudly announce "You're welcome." in a smart-ass tone. I don't know why it irks me; or why it irked me so much at that moment. I think I'm just tired.

Re: The cranky thread Am I wrong to be a little... bothered... when I hold the door for somebody and they don't even acknowledge me? I mean, I don't hold the door open because I want recognition... but it still bothers me.

Re: The cranky thread Holy cow. You know, up till now I never even realized Amused was a teenager (I generally don't pay attention to sigs). Your posts put you well beyond your years. As for the issue... some people prove to be pretty intolerant; unfortunately, there isn't a great deal you can do about them. As for your friend... well, it's her loss. But you've obviously got your wits about you- I don't forsee something like this keeping you down for long. At any rate, I'm sorry to hear about it.

Re: The cranky thread I was so ready to enjoy the pizza that is going to be provided for staff meeting later today. Right up until I needed to answer nature's call, and fell victim to the phenomenon that every adult male has encountered at least once: A mound of crap so immense that the guy before you either couldn't or wouldn't flush it down. I swear. This just about beats out wiping snot on the urinal walls.
