Jenny and I got home from Bradford County Thanksgiving – and she decided it was time to get the patch I’ve had on the fridge on to my backpack. I was all like, “psh, about time, I’m tired of those Horde kids beating me up after Physics lab.”

Jenny got to work with her Home Economics Boogie-Woogie Kung-Fu-ie.
Huzzah, it is [Epic] – Hordies watch out!
Equipped with the most plum-est of purps, I now need some epic-level grub to make sure I have the calories to make with the asswhoopage.
Enter Port Richmond sold-by-the-pound frozen pirogi!

Time to kick some ass!

It’s not like I’m too poor to buy myself books, but I’d be some sort of idiot to think that if I managed to buy all of these, the time to read them would also be included in the box.
Since my (community) college has free, unlimited printing, I made this list and broke it out during a particular dry math lecture about inverting a sine function or some other sassafras. Then, I looked for patterns in it. Thus, we have a list of things that I think tell you a lot about how awesome I am.
- 8 pages printed.
- 19 Penguin Classics.
- 0 I own at the moment.
- 5 multi-volume books.
- 85 on the list.
- 13 speak on or written by Ancient Romans.
- 6 either about Britain or Britons.
- 1 about King Arthur
- 2 stars James Bond
- 19 “soft” science books.
- 2 Computer Science (specifically, programming) books.
- 18 Novels.
- 3 either about the President or the White House.
- 2 reference drugs in the title.
- 3 reference the American South.
- 16 names in titles.
- 2 mentions of the Cold War in title.
- 2 in the “Politics and Society in 20th Century In America” series.
- 5 takes place/about The Forgotten Realms.
Remember folks, it’s almost christmas!

Okay, let me start with the following: I’m not a un-fan of AT&T – but they are the low-hanging fruit this evening. I’m really tired of the US carriers simply lying about each others services.
via the recent Engadget article AT&T sues Verizon over ‘there’s a map for that’ ads – a lawsuit that basically lets them get a headline in the trade, and mainstream press with the following statement:
In essence, we believe the ads mislead consumers into believing that AT&T doesn’t offer ANY wireless service in the vast majority of the country. In fact, AT&T’s wireless network blankets the US, reaching approximately 296M people. Additionally, our 3G service is available in over 9,600 cities and towns. Verizon’s misleading advertising tactics appear to be a response to AT&T’s strong leadership in smartphones. We have twice the number of smartphone customers… and we’ve beaten them two quarters in a row on net post-paid subscribers. We also had lower churn — a sign that customers are quite happy with the service they receive.
Wow, that is just begging for someone to “help make sense of it” – lets begin.
.

Offer and provide being a key difference here.

Listen, I don’t care how many fucking towns, villages, wal-marts, and gangbangs your shitty 3G coverage reaches. THE FUCKING SERVICE DOESN’T WORK FOR SHIT IN PLACES THAT ARE ON THE MAP.
Verizon’s misleading advertising tactics appear to be
It’s kind of off-topic to mention this. Why not speculate Verizon got the idea to do this while sucking off devil cock in hell.
a response to AT&T’s strong leadership in smartphones.
Everyone gives Apple lots of money. That is not leadership. My cheap girlfriend who doesn’t spend money on premium peanut butter has an iMac.
We have twice the number of smartphone customers…
ellipses are never good writing, unless they appear in angst-ridden teen vampire dialog…

or mocking bad writing.
and we’ve beaten them two quarters in a row on net post-paid subscribers.

trading up to ye old double minus, the … said they missed…

you.
Amish people don’t believe that making less butter is something to brag about, either.
a sign that customers are quite happy with the service they receive.
or they’re in contracts. Or maybe they don’t like mobile phone calls interrupting their days.
All in all, this full-of-lies-and-distortions press release is about a lawsuit that doesn’t matter over an advertisement that America will collectively forget by the end of the year.
edit 1: fixed some obvious grammatical errors that I feel plenty bad enough about without your damned help.

Two because I have to.
Oh, and a pile of articles and assorted stuff, as usual.
