2. The Freepers might not like it. They might talk about us in a bad way. |
|
And then what if Fox picks up on it? *wrings hands*

5. Concern & Pessimism Forum! |
|
We're gonna lose!
And if we win, we're gonna wish we hadn't.
And Obama will only serve one term.
And we'll get blamed for everything.
Waaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

your lack of concern for the concern of others will increase concern among those who feel the need to be concerned.

Sometime next month or so.
But the Apathy Forum just doesn't care.

14. I think that's ten endorsements from paid members, so we can start hammering out |
|
the forum philosophy, rationale, purpose, goals, rituals, rules, transportation, snacks and soda pop, seating arrangements, scheduling, agenda, lighting, recreation outings, study & quiz times, foreign relations, dues & fees, fines, and salary of founder.

Can always get a job at McDonald's, too, if they want their hobbies subsidized while real people go out to work at real jobs.

Try not to belittle my creative aspirations just because your step-dad may belittle yours. Break the vicious cycle right now, my friends. In return, I offer you the possibly in the future to be lightly compensated position of Concern Forum Evaluator.

25. Are you resorting to bribery in order to rally support to your cause? |

Dude.
I'm in.
But, I need it all up front...not that I don't trust you, but there's this guy, and, well, you know how it is, dude says he wants his coins like, now, or, you know, things might get a little, ah, violent.

"I offer you the possibly in the future to be lightly compensated position of Concern Forum Evaluator."
If you were serious you would have asked for the job definition instead of focusing on filthy lucre. And suggesting violence against the king of the corporation in the middle of your interview is not the best form, my friends. Plus, next time, please wear shoes.

37. Birkies and tie-dye was good enough for my last boss. |
|
He never gave me a job description, either, it was like, "So, dude, when you show up at nine-ish, just ask for Hector and he'll show you what it is you're supposed to do, he's cool, he'll get you set up."
Hector was off sick that day, and no one told me what to do, so I just chilled for the first week or so.
Dude, it was awesome. There was a Starbucks right across the street with this little goth barista, and she got me triple venti soy lattes for free. I hung out there most of the day on the company dime, and no one even knew what I was doing, but I got paid.
Serious.
Which reminds me, dude, what about the bennies?

That way, the people who demand constant attention can have their own playhouse.
ETA: I'd love to be a moderator. My post-count is still pretty low, so I'd fit right in. :)

listening to Muzacked Otis Redding."
Nevertheless, I'll have Ikonoklast call your people.

Don't be volunteering me for stuff outside the scope of my employment.
You said I'd get an assistant to handle the phones and e-mail.
Dude. I had to actually talk to someone that called yesterday.
It messed with my vibe, you know?

40. I thought you wouldnt notice that I volunteered you. |

It's rude for you to read messages about you that I wrote to somebody else. I'm beginning to rethink the trust that I have put in you for all these years. Unfortunately, the steering committee has put you on probationary status until further notice.

42. We simply need to rename our feelings. |
|
Rename "feelings of total doom" to "slight tickle in my sacroiliac." Most concerns can be alleviated by renaming them.
