Craptacular Caption Poll Reminder

Posted on November 19, 2009 by Caleb Newquist

We’ve got a close race in the craptacular caption contest. Polls close tomorrow night at midnight, so you’ve still got plenty of time to vote if you haven’t already.

And if you truly think you’ve got worse digs than this, send us your photos, we’re curious as how sadistic clients can be when it comes to accommodating their auditors.

The Solution to All Our Fiscal Problems

  • Caleb Newquist
  • September 1, 2009

stupid.jpgLeave it to the French. They’ve got the solution to all our fiscal problems. Whether we have the courage to follow their example is another matter.
The solution? Our frog eating friends have decided that they will start taxing people for their stupidity:
More, after the jump

The French Foreign Ministry is proposing a very narrow law requiring citizens foolish enough to wander into international danger zones, regardless of public warnings, to pay at least part of the cost of their own rescue.

For the purposes of our country, we would call for a much wider law that would encompass all kinds of idiotic behavior. For example, Brett Favre deciding to unretire again should be levied something in the neighborhood of 100% of his new salary. If he loves playing football so much, then he’d be thrilled to pay the tax.
The invasion of Iraq kinda goes without saying.
As for state budgets, New York and California’s fiscal crises would have been non-issues had a tax been placed anyone that was elected to those states’ legislative bodies.
Plus, since the amount of stupid behavior is so vast, legions of enforcement personnel would obviously be needed, putting many of you back to work. Pending your passing of an examination of course.
Discuss, in the comments, the appropriate tax levies for your most reviled stupid behavior by your fellow Americans that would solve our budgetary troubles. The existence of this blog/post is duly noted.

Is the Party Over?

  • Caleb Newquist
  • September 15, 2009

cheers!.jpgIn these frugal times, you may have noticed the lessening frequency of booze fueled get-togethers at your firm. Now that may new associates are/will be joining the number crunching fray soon we’re wondering if we’ll see a possible uptick in social events.
Knocking back some cocktails doesn’t always have the wide appeal in today’s diverse workforce (regardless of what the stats say) but often these fall events are well attended by boozehounds and non-boozehounds alike.
Discuss in the comments the current trend of socializing at your office. Is the culture at your firm or office drying out? Will it get amped up for the incoming staff? One would think that could be impossible judging by activity during this time of year in the past but since layoffs appear to be a bodily function for the firms these days, your celebrations may be occurring with less enthusiasm.
