Doesn't really work without context.

I give up. I expect bad things from government bureaucrats, but this is beyond anything I've experienced before. There's some adjective derived from some author and some French suffix for this kind of thing, but despite being something of an expert in women's literature and English adjectives, I can't recall what it is - "à la Brontë" or something like that.

I shouldn't have laughed at that at all, and yet I did so uncontrollably.

PS: That thread is exactly how those of us who don't read what-if timelines view each and every what-if timeline.

Best post from that thread:

I feel like there's some code here.

Don't be stingy, Xahar. Why post only a snippet of a top 5 post of the year?

[ring ... ring ...]

Hello, you've reached the Department of Labor, Regulatory Compliance Information Services Division. How may I help you?

Hello, I'm calling from the suburban Milwaukee investment firm that e-mailed you last week. As you'll recall, we're considering an investment in a metal fabrication company in Oshkosh but we have some questions about the legality of the proposed contract they have sent us. One of the clauses contains a procedure for disbanding their union, but the legal precedents for the specific procedure are unclear. Have you had a look at the e-mail I sent and determined whether your department considers this a legal procedure?

Yes, I had a look at the contract. The union is holding the company hostage, just like the NJEA is holding hostage the taxpayers of New Jersey, who have been forced to increase funds to the New Brunswick school district by 35% over ten years with no improvement in test scores.

Uh... OK, but do you think that the contract is legal, or is the company at risk of prosecution?

The NJEA crybabies claim that "class sizes need to go down!" even though this hasn't shown any improvement in results, and they've got everything they want from their people in Trenton.

Right, but I'm not interested in New Jersey internal politics; do you realize I'm calling from Wisconsin?

Yes, the state where the previous governor Doyle raided the transportation fund to give to the teachers' unions. Now matter where you go, Democrats gouge the ordinary taxpayer to satisfy their greedy union buddies.

Look, I'm a private-sector white-collar worker in Waukesha County, I'm obviously a Republican and you don't need to convince me of that, but what do you think about this contract?

Republicans can be just as guilty as well. Before Chris Christie came along, Tom Kean sold the farm to the union thugs just as much as Corzine.

You're not answering any of my questions; this is totally unproductive.

On the contrary, I am maximally productive. The productivity of my answers can be straightforwardly measured by how many questions each answer answers, and I have given just one answer to all your questions.

You dumb*ss, productivity is the ration of GDP per hour worked. Are you still in high school?

No, I have graduated from South Crapsboro High School, which has a median SAT score 45% higher than Central Newark High despite spending $1,227 less per pupil.

I give up. I expect bad things from government bureaucrats, but this is beyond anything I've experienced before. There's some adjective derived from some author and some French suffix for this kind of thing, but despite being something of an expert in women's literature and English adjectives, I can't recall what it is - "à la Brontë" or something like that.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Many years ago, when a mere youth, I tried switching from my dominant hand to my left, and surprisingly I've never looked back.  It seems more enjoyable with the non-dominant hand, almost like another person is doing it, and as an added bonus you don't end up looking like this:

and then we have the jmfcst version of Occupy White House:

just think what a far better place the USA would be if the jmfcst's were on the other side of those gates!

Getting shot by the Secret Service for trespassing?  Agreed.

Goldmines tend to play out quickly. This is a respectable Institute, and it's well-endowed.

Don't use the e-word.  I don't want this morphing into a replacement for the Hot Guys thread.

e*****d, tho I will allow that E****t could be used as a synonym.

Shame.  I was hoping they'd lose the season, but it appears the Grinch stole Christmas again.

Essentially the same except I hope the nba would never recover.

Oklahoma City needs the NBA.  Thunder home games bring in roughly $1 million dollars each game so in a full season that's a little over $40 million.  This season that will be $33 million or so.  Of course, with our success in the 2011 Playoffs, the Thunder brought in an extra $10 million to our City.  We are expected to contend for the Western Division crown again this year (that kind of prediction scares me to death), so hopefully we can get closer to a full season's worth of revenue.

I like this new CBA as it gives the small market teams like the Thunder a better chance to compete in getting the really good players that always seem to go to the Lakers, Mavs, Heat, or Celtics, your large market franchises, and gives us a very good chance at keeping arguably two of the leagues best young players in Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

Yeah sure...but no one needs Oklahoma City.
