Has anyone else noticed how often the music that plays when you're on hold sounds like it's coming from an ancient, water-damaged speaker? Is this a ploy to mind-trick people into preemptively hanging up?

I've decided that instead of combing my hair straight forward, I'd comb it to the side. Dude haircuts in the military are limited, so everyone notices when you switch it up. (Everyone seemed to like the change too.)
Funny sidenote though. A couple of my German friends took notice and each said the same thing. "Ah, that's nice. You're combing your hair to the side. Hitler used to do that."
I laughed a lot. It's almost complimentary.

That doubles as a Moustache March question. You're slick.
I don't grow hair on my philtrum. Any moustache I attempt to grow will immediately have follow up questions like "Where's your van with 'Free Candy' written on the side?" and "Are you allowed within 1,000 feet of a school zone?"

Houses routinely take three short steps - a realtor open house, followed by a general open house, followed by bids being taken - all within a week. And usually there are multiple bids, all above asking price. At least once a month, I receive a cold call from a realtor who says they represent a buyer and wanted to see if they could talk us into selling our home.
And the houses in your area twice as much as they are in mine. Giff posted his house info on Facebook and I threw up in my mouth when i saw the price. Holy fuck. The sad thing is, or at least was, that federal government employees in Houston had a higher cost of living bump in their salaries than New York City. You couldn't buy a 200 sq. ft. studio for half of what Giff is listing his house at. I never understood their algorithm for determining salary adjustments, but Houstonians fucking won that game.
Further evidence from the Washington Post on how ridiculous is the cost of housing in the San Francisco Bay Area. Link, with more detail
I live in a city where the average price of a detached home has just hit $1 million (average townhouse is $600,000). Which is great for us homeowners... if we have plans to sell and move to Northern Ontario or Ohio.

Alfred Rosenberg is the underappreciated Nazi. The leading "intellectual" of the movement, crucial to the formulation of the final solution to the Jewish question, convicted and hung at Nuremberg, yet he gets much less ink than the other top Nazis. His diary was discovered a couple of years back; I'm waiting for a historian to plow through it and tell us if there is anything shocking or that can resolve an issue (like Goebbel's diary was a big piece of answering the Reichstag Fire thing.)
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago
Oh yeah…
Today I learned that there's an official unofficial haircut amongst white women that communicates "I fuck black guys." It looks just like the "Can I speak to a manager?" haircut. And if that haircut is worn with large hoop earrings, game over.
As a black guy myself, hearing this from a fellow black co-worker was a revelation. Why was I never told this before?

Agreed. Rather than effectively draw attention by playing in meaningless spring training games, Stand Up For Cancer should issue a press release with a single tasteful joke and a note that some comedians have made a donation to cancer. Unless that's too flashy.

I laughed during Semi-Pro, the movie about an ABA team in Flint. But I love the ABA and Flint. I saw Anchorman and was dismayed, except for the jazz flute bit. But I love jazz flute. I don't plan to see anything else he's in.

Loved Anchorman, loathed Anchorman 2.
Although his real life personality seems nice enough, on film, he is becoming more and more like Jerry Lewis inasmuch as every scene of every movie seems to cry out "aren't I the best? Don't you love me?!"
And pair him with Paul Rudd and you have a comedic shit sandwich of epic proportions.

You sir, are dead to me. Between this and Michael Keaton...I just don't know about you man.
My gall is sufficiently mitigated. Thank you for your concern.
