My father picked me up from school today, and he had a stuffed polar bear in the back of his pickup truck. A big, white, adorable polar bear.

Epic.

Fuck yes. Is it now your polar bear?

[nenjin]

Ah the things you learn about co-workers when you travel together.

So I'm on this week long thing with this guy. For several days, it's your typical business trip. Small hotels, fast food and crappy sit-down restaurants, boredom, angst and a desire to be home.

Eventually, we end up in glorious and scenic Shreveport Louisiana. And about 2 blocks from our hotel room is the Hustler Club, a strip club owned by Larry Flynt.

Now, I'm not much one for strip clubs. I like T&A, but I basically refuse to pay for any form of affection or sexual gratification. But this guy I'm with reeaaaaalllllllyyyy wants to hit the town and drink and have a good time. So I go to the club with him.

After about 2 beers and 2 hours, I've seen all the dancers and, being me, I'm kinda bored with the whole scene. (I mean, if I'm not going home with them..../yawn, I'd rather be gaming/sleeping. Maybe internet porn has just really desensitized me.)

I leave about 10:30 pm and head back to the hotel. This guy I'm with though? Spends a total of 7 hours in the strip club, 8pm to 3am. By the time I leave, he's up 5 or 6 beers to my 2.

He stumbles back in at 3:30am (after I've been asleep for hours, since, you know, WE HAVE WORK TO DO STARTING AT 8AM.) He blew $1,000 for 3 hours worth of a private room. He blew so much money, and was so drunk, he had strippers texting him the next day asking him to come back and spend more money.

Seriously, a sucker is born everyday and alcohol fucking wrecks your judgment. For that kind of money, he could have gotten a nice, classy call girl and spent aaaalllll night with her. Instead he's now a VIP at Hustler Clubs across the nation. Cue a drunk guy at 3:30, shouting in a darkened room going "FUCK, I can't believe I spent a thousand fucking dollars on STRIPPERS. *crash* *clink as he opens another beer*"

Bonus points: He spent about 3 hours sleeping off a hang over in the car while I was on-site working, and our clients were laughing/face palming at it. I love my co-workers, but fuck me, there are some things I'd rather not have known. For example, how little self-control some of them have when they're turned loose in a strange city.

[Flying Dice]

Nenjin, that's... uh, wow. That must take a massive lack of self-control. Most of the grand probably went towards the overpriced beer.

[nenjin]

At $7/bottle, no. That grand went to private dances at $30/10 minutes.

No, it was a polar bear a nice old lady gave to me. I gave it to my dad. He put it in the back of his pickup truck and we agreed to keep it there.

A police officer laughed at it.

Awesome

I can't imagine how they made this.

So, I'm a big fan of online courses because I don't have to deal with people.

My speech class requires me to give a speech in front of a minimum of 10 people. Any fewer than that and it's an automatic failure.

Really? 10? I'm supposed to dredge up 10 people who have the schedule to meet up for the sole purpose of listening to me talk for five minutes? Are you kidding me?

Good thing I know enough people at church. I guess I'll have to convince them to stay afterwards to listen to me blabber for five minutes every week or so.

I'm thinking about using video editing software after the first speech so it looks like I'm talking to ten people. I'm not sure if the teacher wants to see them the entire time, though. If not, I might just have them switch seats and change out a few people randomly through a variety of takes. They're not supposed to actively participate anyways, so...

...Okay, this is becoming more rage worthy than WTF. Not only does my teacher want the names of each of the ten people that listen to me, s/he wants their e-mail address and phone number, as well. I wouldn't personally be comfortable with handing out this information, much less asking it from ten of my friends. What the heck is wrong with this guy?

That's messed up. There's no way I'd give anyone that info.

[Knight of Fools]

Exactly. It's mind-bogglingly stupid. How am I supposed to successfully complete a course when I have to find ten people willing to trust a professor of a class they're not even in?

[MaximumZero]

Just tell him that no one would sign the waiver, because no one is that fucking stupid.

Note: Signing the waiver is a euphemism, in case I didn't make that clear.

[Kamin]

If I were your teacher, I'd only believe it if you only had an audience of women.

And your verification was 10+ nekkid pictures. 'Cause hellllll yeah.

(I'd be such an awesome teacher.)

[Putnam]

I think I just hit the hard limit for creatures added to Dwarf Fortress.

[Max White]

Do you mean to imply that there is a set limit for the number of creature types that can exist?
I thought that there were literally hundreds of types of genned demons...
