Dixon Landing Road, Pt. 1
2.2.2k7

I'm in awe of and disgusted by a guy who prowls the bullshit email groop at the joint I work. In this context, I mean "awe" not as a good thing.
An example of this use of "awe" would be, "I'm in awe of the terrible play of da Bears in the game." Or, "I'm in awe of how bad I smell." Or, "I'm in awe of the giant pile of dogshit I nearly stepped in." I use the word "disgusted" in its primary definition.
The guy deserves my rancor. He's the type of guy you all know - the know-it-all jerk - and you yourownself hate. Global Warming? ("So-called" as he says.) He's an expert. Hubble's gyros? He's an expert. Math? Expert. Physics? Expert. Language? Expert. Language translation? Expert. Biodiesel? Expert. Best Cuban restaurant in LA? Expert. Visual effects? Expert. Mac OSX? Expert. The list goes on and on and on. Here's an example of his bullshit. Transcript from a thread on the forum. His is last. If you do not bow your head in disgust, you are better than me.

  • gold's gym discount? as employees are we eligible for gold's gym discounts or anything like that?
  • They do offer some discount. Not sure what it is
  • This has made my lunch turn. "For those who want to be really buff, a Dutch gym is introducing training sessions for nudists."
  • The root of the word "gymnasium" is the Greek word "gymnos" which means naked, so technically they're upholding the old tradition. Of course, there's probably a big difference between ancient Greek athletes and pasty, hirsute Dutch naturists.

OMFG. You can't possibly answer the question, can you? You have to impress us w/ yr vast knowledge of Greek language and history. Fok. Can the gal get five bucks off a spinning class for fuck's sake?

Tonight - Zeitgeist.
