Someone should put that in a video game.  The Halo 3 gay grenade.

I'd love to see that set off in Iran.  Especially how Ahmanjhad said last week that Iran has no gays.

I thought about hitting that up, but nobody here was interested. We're going to A.C. instead.

This starts off amusing then ends in a slightly disturbing manner...

QuoteA Georgia man got a surprise recently when his iPod caught fire -- inside his pants pocket. Danny Williams was working at a kiosk at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport when he says he noticed "flames coming up to his chest." It seems the year-old Nano he had in his pocket spontaneously combusted and the only thing that kept him from sustaining serious injury was a piece of paper in the same pocket that acted as a shield.

Williams told Atlanta's WSB-TV, "If [the] TSA had come by and seen me smoking, they could have honestly thought I was a terrorist."

This guy's pants are on fire, and the first thing that comes to his mind is, "shtein!  I'm going to get jumped by the TSA".  The US is no longer a free country.
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

So a guy at my company put in his two-weeks notice, and sent this email to all his co-workers, bosses, and friends in the company.

Quote
All,

It's with my deepest regards that I announce that this Friday October 5th is my last day with [company].  Let me stop with the BS, I got a smile from cheek to cheek that I am getting out of here afraid there might not be enough lifeboats on the titanic for my workerbee class.  Over 7 years I have learned and worked with some of the best teachers, friends, and hard working sob's that one could ask to work with.  Over 7 years I gave all I could to help the standing of this continuous money pit of [company], to no success (heck maybe I am the thorn in the side and once I leave it will make a profit).  One thing remains the same as all the 7 years I been here, this company cannot seem to turn the corner.  Do I think I know the reasons why, heck yeah but shtein I'm probably preaching something that's already a broken record. So I came up with a poem to describe it. This was for you Pops, you asked for a state of the union address.

            [company] in my words

We Got too many uppers playing the game of email tag
Lets whack another mammoth if the losses begin to sag
Heck we can't make no revenue so lets buy another foe
Damn they ain't sold nothing but the sales members still continue to grow
Lets come up with a catch phrase and hand out the kool aid drink cups
Lets push out promotions and paying the mammoth's like we do with vendor sups
Come on offshore fellas, and come on contract labor
Well get mammoth's to train you and ask them like it's a great rewardable favor
Well make sure someone hugs the mammoth's before another shoots um in the back
One thing sure it wont matter as the balance sheet is always in the red and never in the black
To the head honchos, and the rest of the 249 vp'd others I give a lot of points for your creative style
You've managed to put smoke, mirrors and a mirage over what's now just a highly dysfunctional dung pile
I leave at a time where I see no light threw my distorted mammoth vision tunnel
Before 12pm on Friday Oct.5th I be at a watering hole looking for a funnel
Downing the liquid and the memories before it all takes real affect
Knowing for 7 years of hard work it ultimately came down to just a lousy paycheck
I leave knowing the mammoth's still grazing will ultimately somehow survive
This mammoth is leaving this pasture, found another prairie on which it's grass I'll try


I wish all of you all the best of luck riding this wave of [company] whatever shore it washes up on my surfboard got eaten by a Great White Tugly Shark about 2 months ago and I decided it was time to move on before a Tornado turned into a Hurricane.  I know without a doubt that folks on this email, at one time or another gave their all to try and make this company a success some still might do it today and I truly admire that.  I'm moving on to what I hope is a greener pasture where I hope to unite with a different breed of  Wooly Mammoths and keep a herd, watching Black Rockets take off, while doing  a Atown dance with a DC flavor.

Ya'll keep your heads up, ya'll have my utmost respect.  If ya'll ever make it to the Southside of Atlanta hit me up, the dungeon in the basement always loves company as do my youngin's (seems like more of them daily lmao).  Good luck and God Bless to you all.

Pops work hard for that bonus, need some green beers to sip on. Love Ya man, thanks for the knowledge and the start, time to fly this pigeon coop for another clan as I can't find a rack mount unit to place my cpu on here anymore.

Sincerely,
Dude's name
Dude's home address
Dude's phone numbers

Not sure why he refers to himself and other workers as mammoths.

I've seen people burn a bridge before, but never quite like this.
The drawback to marital longevity is your wife always knows when you're really interested in her and when you're just trying to bury it.

Sgt PSN

Never before have so many words failed to actually come together and make a clear point.  I suspect your company will turn a corner with him gone.  And a profit as well. 

Father Demon

BillButcher, ButcherBill, or whatever he calls himself comes to mind.

But you point is extremely valid.

Demon, your company is better off without that douche.

Even if everything he said is true, he's still an idiot.

More importantly, what this douche failed to realize is that no one cares.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.
