Internet comments

Some internet comments make you go: Did you just really post that?

Then there are internet comments that make you LOL at work & have no shame.

I’ve experienced both of these in the last two hours.

I’ll let you decide which one this is:

 

In my neck of the woods we have a series of McDonald’s with a double order lane – for those unfamiliar, its essentially two order windows adjacent to each other – the left and right car place their orders, then merge into a single lane to pay for their order. While a great idea on paper – McDonald’s neglected to remember that most drivers lack the capacity to yield and merge…or for that matter exhibit the slightest bit of “turn etiquette”. What will inevitably happen is a driver in the first position will have a lengthy order – while a driver in the far right “second lane” will only be order a McChicken. The driver in the second position wraps up their order quickly and speeds ahead five feet to the primary pay/pick-up lane – if there is the slightest bit of congestion this driver’s front end will stall about five feet from where the primary driver would merge into the pay/pick-up lane. At this point the driver in window number 1 just wrapped up their order and inches up to merge. Driver number one is waiting for the car ahead of him to pull up to the pay window. The showdown begins – driver number two (who ordered the McChicken in the secondary lane) believes he finished his order first and should not yield to driver one…depending on the aptitude of driver number one…this could result in an impasse…that is only solvable through the use of heavy artillery.
And not to mention…the pain in the arse the secondary window causes for the cashier – he/she must verify every order because you never know who actually yielded/waited their turn.
For quality & authenticate purposes here’s the link. FARK.com: (8022381) McDonald’s looks to speed up drive-thru service by adding another window. The first one to pay, the second to pick up the food and the third to review your existing medical coverage

Quotes from the World for Tuesday 11/19/MXIII

What is meant by “reality”? It would seem to be something very erratic, very undependable—now to be found in a dusty road, now in a scrap of newspaper in the street, now a daffodil in the sun. It lights up a group in a room and stamps some casual saying. It overwhelms one walking home beneath the stars and makes the silent world more real than the world of speech—and then there it is again in an omnibus in the uproar of Piccadilly. Sometimes, too, it seems to dwell in shapes too far away for us to discern what their nature is. But whatever it touches, it fixes and makes permanent. That is what remains over when the skin of the day has been cast into the hedge; that is what is left of past time and of our loves and hates.

Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf (1882–1941), British novelist. A Room of One’s Own, ch. 6 (1929).

My Toe

I hurt my toe yesterday, it hurts worse today.

Good Morning & Happy Monday. Today is 11/18/V3.4 & it is Allison’s Birthday!!!

I was suppose to go walking door – to – door, but since I can’t walk from my bedroom door to bathroom door. I don’t think front door to front door is the best idea.

Aren’t you glad we got two feet, two ears, two eyes & 1 mouth. I’ll walk in you shoes. I’ll listen to you. I’ll see you. I’ll give advice of you ask.

The word of the day is commix which is to mix together, blend.

So yesterday I officially twerk’d. There were several eye witnesses, but no video or photos.

So there is an event at 18001830. A meet and greet at Brix in Midtown. I apparently RSVP’d before I committed to go d2d.

Well this week shall be great, can I get a wha-wha?

Make it a great day.

Quotes from the World for Sunday 11/17/MXIII

After us they’ll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they’ll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, “Oh! Life is so hard!” and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904), Russian author, playwright. Tuzenbakh in Three Sisters, act 2.

Nah, You’d be fine

So someone texts me that they don’t wanna be kidnapped.

Good Morning & Happy Sunday. Today is 11/17/V3.4 & it is celebration day.

I told her that I don’t think she has to worry about being kidnapped. NOW I’ve never met this lady, so I don’t actually know her. Also I’m sure no one would want to kidnap me, at least I hope.

So we went out after 2300 last night, we were acting like a bunch of mid 20 y.o. Things didn’t get crazy.

The word of the day is antitype which is something that is foreshadowed by a type or symbol, as a New Testament event prefigured in the Old Testament.

So has anybody watched Reign | The Series on the CW Network | Official Site? Apparently it is the story of a Mary Queen of Scotland becoming.

We are going to keep this day simply. Watch some sports, hang out with some friends. Do what we need to do.

Have a GREAT day.

Kick off …

We are going to Kick Off our shoes, our mistrust, and embrace happiness.

Good Morning & Happy Saturday. Today is Saturday 11/16/V3.4 & we are halfway done with November MMXII.

It has been a GREAT Month for Team Vernon J. Getting things done and making sure we are smiling along the way.

Well it is back to work for VIII hours. Maybe a little more.

It is then time to get in the kitchen. You know how I LOVE that. I’m making a cake for FriendsGiving.

The word of the day is con amore which is Italian . with love, tender enthusiaam, or zeal.

What to do tonight after the baking & eating? Team Jim is going for the perfect week at Crescent Moon, so I’m doing that halfway. I was song stuff the other nights.

Tomorrow is church, NASCAR, & the previous mention of the holiday celebration.

Comment with anything you want me to do.

Vernon J isn’t dreaming.
