Random Jibber Jabber Thread

I need a place to vent a little. I had a short talk with my ex wife yesterday to see if she had heard anything about our settlement. She had heard from the plan administrator on the 3rd of Dec. and that they had also sent a Lettie to my attorney saying they didn't have an address for me. I've had several conversations with my attorney's assistant and they have not said anything about it. I think they should have said something to me. I'm afraid this is why I haven't received the settlement yet. I think they dropped the ball here and I can't talk to them till Monday. I wish I could have minnesmoker talk to them for me. I bet I would get some action then. I know it's going to work out I just wanted to whine sorry.

Good morning all. It's a lovely cold brisk Sunday over here. Which admittedly is kind of strange because I could of sworn yesterday was Sunday. Either way church was pretty awesome and needed this morning. I think I'm pronouncing that wrong though, I thinks it's pronounced c-o-f-f-e-e.

Boxer's fracture right? Did they K Wire it? If so reduce the fucking bulk and use tape. If not I'd still move to tape. But that's me and I sneer at orthopods! LOL You may just want to rotate through those ace bandages LOL. Compression tape is your friend (and it's reusable SCORE).

Sorry Minnesmoker. Over my head.

But I would like to add that my fingers smell of fresh basil. Thank you Ushio.

or maybe that's the point. It's incomprehensible isn't it? Wait, it was originally written in Chinese! I recognize it now.

I would also like to thank Ushio for this harvest ;)
 
Why does Ushio sound Japanese while being made in Germany, while Hortilux sounds German but is Japanese made?

More ruminations on Chinese business writing. While in DC I took grad classes in business. Right about that time, a flood of Chinee decided to go to business school (5 year plan thing, no shit). It was like somebody flipped a switch! So a grad class is about 9 people and a full six of them were Chinese in two of my classes. The impact of this became apparent pretty soon. We had to do papers of about 60 pages in groups of three. So, of course, the three non-Chinee became the seeds of the three groups. And of course, we'll need to edit the work of our Chinese colleagues. So weeks pass and I start to get some writing back from my group mates. Utter nonsense. Not a single piece of information in it. Pages and pages of things like "one idea that stands out like a cool blue moon above a calm ocean is employee empowerment." then it goes on for the rest of the paragraph without ever again relating to employee empowerment - though the moon got two more shout outs!

So I checked with the other poor non-Chinese bastards in my classes and swapped some samples. We literally could have chosen any of the writing submitted by the Chinese and it would have been equally relevant/irrelevant to any of the topics we were writing on despite being on totally different disciplines. And these people had good English skills! And the similarity of the 'logic' was uncanny, almost chilling. Maybe things are better now. Been a while. Worse semester ever. Had to write entirely new sections for them, which they never mentioned. They got good grades.

I have a pretty extensive collection of communist written books in English from the last hundred years. The Russians made more sense but are extra amusing due to their invective "... But Trotsky did not realize that he was but a flea on the great Dog that is Mother Russia and that with but a flick, the great people of the USSR could cast him into nothingness along with his band of whiteflies and traitors ." the Maoist shit is just wieeeeeerd though. And it just gets worse after his death (running dog revisionists) Then they just stopped publishing to the outside world for twenty years or so.
