If any of you are pro snackers, you would immediately notice that they upped the prices of small-sized potato chips. What the fuck?! Is the economy THAT BAD that you have to hike up the prices by .10 cents? Weren’t these referred to as the .25 cent bags? That’s what everyone calls them, no? Now hear me out. Before you got 4 for $1, now you get 3. That’s 1 less bag of choice, lame. Now .25 cent bags go for roughly about .60 cents in vending machines….are they going to hike up the price too? In Mexico, you get the BIG bags for about .40 cents AND it comes with something nifty (i.e. pogs) in it. I hate America. Obama, get on this ASAPS.
So last Friday, while i ditched work because i woke up still drunk from the night before, apparently my office manager was enjoying a nice bottle of white zinfandel at her desk. Normally, my boss is pretty easygoing, to the point where he has taken me to V.I.P.’s for a classy lunch, but apparently she was wasted. I’m talking, complaining about her ex-husband wasted. The irony is that my boss, aka the guy that fired her, is her ex-husband. Anyways, now all of her responsibilities get added on to the work i have to do every day. So, as i’m learning some new accounting software today (I hate math) it gets explained to me as being so simple that, and i quote, “even a drunken monkey can do this.” Really? Drunken monkey? We just fired a drunken lady. Why couldn’t she have stayed on the team then? That would have left me free to complete my mastery of snood and twitter to my heart’s content.
Sometimes (OK, everyday) i find news stories that i wish were made up. Like, by The Onion or something. For real, this stuff should not happen in real life.
Police Arrest Ninja Nerds Claiming To Target Drug Dealers
Friday, August 22, 2008 4:00 AM
CLIFTON, N.J. — Police arrested two men dressed like ninjas and armed with Asian martial arts weapons who said they were delivering warning letters to drug dealers and users.
Calling themselves “Shinobi warriors,” the men carried knives, throwing stars, swords, nunchucks and a bow and arrows.
Tadeusz Tertkiewicz, 20, and Jesse Trojaniak, 19, were each charged with weapons possession. Tertkiewicz is also charged with harassment for a letter left for an ex-girlfriend.
The letters warned drug users and drug dealers that the “Shinobi will stop your cruel and sadistic intentions with justified yet, merciful force.”
In the letter, the two men accused drug dealers and users of having “committed sin of passing impurity” to others and that the “wind guides us to those of impure heart and intent.”
“Their intentions may have been good, but we tell everyone that they shouldn’t take the law into their own hands because it will cause more problems for everyone in the long run,” Detective Capt. Robert Rowan said.
Trojaniak’s father told The Associated Press his son is “not a maniac” and was only trying to help a friend.

Obviously these kids didn’t learn the lesson Batman taught his impostors in the dark knight. You can’t fight criminals in hockey pads. Also, the name Shinobi… That’s the best they could do? A Sega video game originally released in 1987? i completely agree with the author of this article in labeling them nerds.
