Fuck Whiff Chex. J. Fred ain't on no health kick. He's all about the Count Whiffula. Perhaps with a Whiff Tart on the side.

Plus, they might be able to convince themselves that the breakfast supplement is actually an early lunch, and therefore eat one fewer meal.

And pizza has calcium and lycopene and protein (and possibly veggies) and donuts generally have none of those. Maybe the boston creme ones have calcium.
Awesome justification. I think that I may have to follow up my morning pastry with a slice of pizza, just for health reasons. Do they still make those stretchy pants?

I'm looking at a resume with bullet point "qualifications" at the top (e.g., "successful track record of blah blah blah" and "innovative strategic planner.") Does this impress anyone? Also the thing is two pages long. Probably a brilliant candidate but I'm annoyed already.

Maybe em will bring me a chocolate muffin.

I am willing to bet their is a correlation between the high hits and the advent of the Spanky Show and resuscitation of the Big Board. Spanky gets big ratings. They have since fallen off since he is no longer regaling us with tales of Deer and Stalking.

I automatically ding all summer associate candidates who feel that their accomplishments deserve two pieces of paper. The recruiting people get pissed sometimes when I write that on the evaluations, but I think it's important to have standards.

My good man. The Two Page Resume is an automatic ding. Unless its from a recrutier who took over the job. Nah, still an automatic ding. One's accomplishments should speak for themselves.

I knew a gal who was a Two Pager (not including a Deal Sheet). There were paragraphs devoted to her internatinoal travels and multilingual adventures. She was widely despised and I weep for whoever ended up having to work with her.

If this is the same resume, please PM me immediately if not sooner.

Seriously, when I get annoyed at resumes, I try to withhold judgment until the interview. Sometimes the annoying resumes are submitted by hot babes . . . uh, exceptionally well-qualified candidates, and they can overcome the annoyingness.

Pathetic. It's sad, really. They say that in his day, Thurgreed was one of the best. His caustic wit and razor-sharp repartee kept the boards alive through many a dull k race or Paigow/Slave scratch-your-eyes-out-bitch marathon. And now, look at what's become of him. Hanging out at the Port Authority bus terminal, spewing out I'm-rubber-you're-glue retorts while he waits for his mama to throw him her castoffs.

I blame a life lived too long in the white-hot light of the wonder and the glory that are dtb and gwinky. No mere mortal could hold up in that rarified environment for too long.

Or perhaps it was his miserably failed attempt to carry off TMBD III. Once the people realized he couldn't deliver without the goodwill of the Betties, they smelled blood. When NFH declared the breasticle boycott, he was toast.

Oh well. Never let it be said that we don't take care of our own. I hereby pledge to fund Lawtalkers for a week for every photo of Thurgreed being fed a meal by a topless FBetty between now and Thanksgiving. Dig deep, people. Let's not let this tragicomic legend be lost forever.

Agreed. Interests section should be something like: "Avid golfer and rock musician". None of that "Enjoys books and travel" crap. It really all is about dork control, because you will need to deal with the clown on an on-going basis, notwithstanding how smart they are.

Golf drives me fucking nuts. I grew up playing golf and got bored senseless with it by 21. I still play now and again, but hardly any amount worth discussing. Why does every male at the age of 30 suddenly become a “golf guy”? I like it - its relaxing... But its one of those sports you can never master unless you have inherent skills. You can’t will yourself to be really good without a lot of natural talent, and if you play for more than 3 years, you realize this. Nevertheless, guys talk about how they’re changing their swings and taking lessons, etc... all day long. Its really annoying as hell. The only lesson a pro ever gave me that really made sense was to use my lead arm more than my support arm. That can convert a straight ball to a draw and add about 20 yards. But if you’re a slicer, you’re fucked, and most of the guys I hear talking about it are all fucking slicers. Its maddening. Just go play the fucking game and stop talking about it.
