*groan* I'll try again later, when I have more strength. I feel like I need to drink a raw egg or something to power through all that mess.

Oh my god. There is a word for this. Anti-intellectualism?

Now wait...it just may be 'stupid'.

My husband has suggested the word I'm looking for is republican but I don't want to paint people with to broad of a brush here.

I could feel my IQ points draining away while reading some of that.

I call it "Willful Ignorance"

They don't understand it and therefore dismiss it as unimportant and don't even attempt to better themselves through even a cursory review of the material.

I made it through the first column. When the guy said he'd like to kick Hawking's wheelchair I was completely disgusted by these two megaminds.

I just wonder, being that their names are not obscured, how long it's going to be before Anon takes them to task. And while Anon is not necessarily noted for extreme intelligence or intellectualism, they are very much noted for addressing self-righteous fucktards. Just sayin'

I'm just hoping that the first person that responded immediately deleted the OP from her friends. A "friend" like that can suck the intelligence right out of your head, or at least take away one of the d6 that you used to roll for it.

I admit not understanding much of Hawking's theories - physics was never my strong subject - but I hate seeing ass-hats belittle his work just because they don't understand it. But I guess there were dumbass Londoners sipping gin and discussing how Newton's theory of gravity would not be of any use to them and how they would like to whack his wig off or something.

Really? Because all sorts of comments come to mind for me.

Like: "Boy am I glad there's no sound on that, so I can imagine the schlupping noises being made."

Or maybe: "They don't show the end of clip, where the host mistakenly steps out onto the floor and slides all the way across."

Of course I would never make such comments, as they are in poor taste and beneath me. But they definitely came to mind.

It's the "World Record" seal in the background that gets me.

In other news, Sean Bean is badass.

Whilst out for a drink with a former Playboy model (Manly Point #1) thirty years younger than he is (Manly Point #2), Bean called out a passerby who made lewd comments towards his lady friend (Manly Point #3), and was rewarded by later being punched in the eye and stabbed in the arm with broken glass (Manly Point #4). Bean then went back into the bar, refused an ambulance and ordered another drink (Manly Point #5). There are no reports of what happened to the other man.

This all actually happened this past Sunday night.

And the moral of the story is: Do Not Fuck With Sean Bean.

A Geek Squad Home Theater Repair Technician came to my house yesterday to do some trouble-shooting on my TV. Geek Squad? It was more like Geezer Squad... He is a retired second career electronics tech. He was nice and professional, but when I was at Best Buy I was over the hill at 33. He is at least twice that age.

Part of the call was to tell me to put any dangerous pets away when the tech arrived. So I put my old German Shepherd Dog in the bathroom when the tech showed up. After he diagnosed the issue, he said he was going to order the parts and come back next week. Then he left. I let the dog out, and he went and traced the techs steps to see where all he went. Then I went back to goofing off on the internet.

About 10 minutes later he walked back in unannounced. My old dog met him at the door. And I hear. "OH HELL, you let the horse in."

I am so happy that he did not attack that guy. I just wonder if I would be held liable for a vicious Dog Gumming.

My former boss is now following me on Twitter. I have no idea what's up with that. He's a real nice guy, so I don't mind, it's just unexpected.

One of the best jobs I've ever had, but that's not saying much, considering I've only held two jobs in my life (paper-boy when I was 10, and computer lab assistant at a community college when I was ~21 and again at ~24).
