an evidence point that shows that lb

#1 Post by ghostjmf » Wed Dec 31, 2008 7:53 am

did not capture the real me-essence in his portrait:
http://s512.photobucket.com/albums/t327 ... /?start=40

I might actually mention pee (a lot of us did at the time, actually, considering the circumstances we were under) or try to help out a contestant by doing an ATA IM from work (on a union-negotiated break, of which we get 2 x 15 minutes/per day; lb wouldn't know about that because the place he works doesn't allow unions -- or are breaks a federal law; gotta check, gotta check) but I would never, never, not ever try to win a contest with MY MOUSE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE KEYBOARD, BEING TOUCHED BY THE WRONG HAND!!!!!!. Wrong side/hand for me, anyway!!!!!!

LOL!

And it's funny you mention the break thing. We were wrapped up tonight at 4:45, which is 15 minutes before our normal 2nd break time on nights where we work our full shift, however, we were told we HAD to take that second 15 minute PAID break before we could leave since we had worked 6 hours, and were thus entitled to two 15 minute breaks.

And I didn't have to pay a penny of union dues to get that privilege of having to wait 15 minutes before I could go home.... :P

LOL - everyone's a critic. I could try to find something to complain about in mine, but the shoes are so fabulous, I get distracted...

You would think that talented squirrels wouldn't have to beg for scritches.....
Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

As I have not been graced by Monsieur Squirrel (perhaps a wee bit of jealousy over the national fantasy pastime, not that I would ever whine about it...) I can not attest to the accuracy of handedness in his colorful portraits although as one of the graced society of those in their right mind I am sure you know by now that the rest of the world is biased against us.

Again jealous no doubt...

The theory is that the properly-dextrous 10% of the pop has the language & reaching-for-stuff governed by the right side of the brain. In most of us (graced-society folks; I like that!). In others, there's just so much screwy going on (or maybe a big black hole) on the left brain side that the right brain just took the heck over. Dunno which I am, haven't been tested.

I can do stuff with that other hand if I haveta, as most of graced-society folks can, much moreso than the world-order-ruling 90% can with their other hand. But you wouldn't want my other-handed brain surgery (or attempt at speedy IMs). On the other hand, few would actually want my grace-handed brain surgery!

Wait 'til I take over the door-knob-/door-hinges-placement monopoly, though. Also the scissors franchise.

So he got the handedness wrong, but nailed the fact that you're a ring-tailed lemur?

It just occured to me that I don't think I've ever seen a mouse set up on the left side of a computer before. I just assumed that lefties learned to use a mouse righthanded (Hey, I eat lefty and swing a bat lefty, but do everything else right handed, though I heard that has to do with being "task specific")....

Also, people may notice in my portrait that I put my box cutter in my left pocket. That is not a mistake, as I really do keep it in my front left pocket even though I cut right handed. The reason for that......
Spoiler
It's the only one of my four pants pockets that's empty! I am all about doing the sensible thing.....

I think that's some sort of squirrel perversion.
