Assorted Thoughts 30: Always More Weird

• I have been known to occasionally visit camwhore sites simply to watch the lunatics in the chats trying to convince themselves that they have a chance of actually getting anywhere with the "women" in the "live" videos.
• Things you see at the DMV:
• Clueless customers.
• Argumentative customers.
• Dead-eyed, hate-filled clerks who wish that the nuclear apocalypse would hurry up and get here so they didn't have to deal with this shit anymore.
• Obese women with skirts entirely too short for my sanity's comfort.
• People having conversations about how the cops didn't actually manage to find the safe with the drugs and money in it, and how the cops did ballistics evidence tests on her hands after she was arrested next to the body of some guy who got shot four times and spent months in a coma.  Also it's unfair when there are issues because your car got stolen while you were in jail and got towed and you can't sort that out easily.
• I didn't make that last one up.
• I have the worst luck in the world when it comes to picking seats at sporting events.  The person sitting behind me is ALWAYS some sort of shrieking idiot.  And sometimes it's a child.  I don't know why this is the case, but a shrieking idiot child is way worse than a shrieking idiot adult.  Is it the high-pitched wailing, or the fact that they have not yet developed the ability to recognize the existence and rights of other humans?  Or is it that they're more likely to kick you in the back repeatedly?  I don't know, but at least they're probably not going to spill beer on you.
• A student asked me recently how harshly I'd be grading something.  I answered "On a scale of one to forty lashes."  The confusion and fear in his eyes was truly beautiful to behold.
• Even after years of playing Starcraft, I'm still amused that the key combo to build a supply depot is B-S.  Fuck off, Adjutant, I don't need any more goddamned supply depots.  This is bullshit.
• I would like for someone to start a BDSM-themed comedy club and name it "Quips & Whips."
