Once the Devil was walking along with one of his cohorts. They saw a man ahead of them pick up something shiny. “What did he find?” asked the cohort. “A piece of the truth,” the Devil replied. “Doesn’t it bother you that he found a piece of the truth?” asked the cohort. “No,” said the Devil, “I will see to it that he makes a religion out of it.Klyne Snodgrass, Between Two Truths (via andrewtgates)

It did occur to me that diabetes could take out a lot of foot tattoos, so that’s good.
Merlin during After Dark episode #48 at 15:44.
And that is why I have Audio Hijack Pro set to record 5by5 for 3 hours every Tuesday afternoon starting at 3pm Eastern Time. Sure, you could listen to the podcast when it comes out, and after its edited, and has been entered into an RSS feed or an “iTunes” subscription, but I want the full raw uncensored stuff.
I can’t, nor would I attempt to, explain why I found that particular sentence hilarious, and I suspect that if you were to listen to that episode of After Dark you would most likely find it not to be hilarious, especially if your mom lost her favorite tattoo to diabetes, or if a foot tattoo killed your family, but here’s what I will unashamedly admit: I was listening to Back To Work and after the show I was listening to the back-and-forth between them, and enjoyed it, but when I heard that line, I literally did that laugh where you — and by you, I mean me — spit and sputter and laugh all at the same time, and then I missed about the next 5 minutes of what they said because I found it to be so damn funny.
My point isn’t “FIND THIS FUNNY BECAUSE I FOUND IT FUNNY” my point is “I hope something made you laugh today.”
I’m going to a meeting tonight where I have to talk about some fairly “heavy” stuff (which is related to the reason I haven’t posted a Favorite Part in almost a week), and a laugh was extremely welcome today.

U.S. Tax Rates are among the lowest in the world
We’re not paying enough (and letting the rich escape paying their fair share), so why is anyone surprised that balancing the budget is so hard?
Note that countries like Sweden provide free secondary education (college/university) for all of their students, as well as national healthcare. If you ask me, we need to start forcing that issue. No more subsidies for corporations - all money goes to programs for human citizens, not companies, to benefit.

Clients From Hell: Ultra-strange encounter with a client at the supermarket
Client: “Aren’t you supposed to be designing my brochure?”
Me: “It’s Sunday morning. I’m just buying milk because I ran out.”
Client: “Oh, you did? Well, what should we do then if we run out of time for the project, huh? Just leave the last two pages blank and write ‘sorry, ran out of milk’…
Yeah, I guess church leaves a lot of people feeling that way…

Proverbs 24:17-20 (via rogieking)Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don’t be happy when they stumble.For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.Don’t fret because of evildoers;
don’t envy the wicked.For evil people have no future;
the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.
