People and their cell phones. That poor lady is obviously having a seizure, and people just taking video and not helping....
My company's having our year-end banquet at the end of this month. Every year we have a different theme for our banquet, and people can dress up accordingly. For example, one year it was superheroes, one year it was black-and-white, and one year it was different professions.
This year the theme is "countries of the world", so we've been asked to wear various national costumes. And I've been trying to think of what I could wear. Put on a kilt and dress as a Scotsman? Find some lederhosen and go as a Bavarian? Dress up as a cowboy and talk in a western American accent?
Then my wife suggested I wear a Chinese qipao. And somehow this has become the frontrunner option.

The question here is going to be how nice do your legs look in stockings. If nice enough, then go for it.My company's having our year-end banquet at the end of this month.

Qipao can be long too. They're mainly characterized by their high neckline and body-hugging shape. Also, they are traditionally fastened diagonally on the front, but this isn't a requirement, especially on modern variants.

What is Return to Forever, I am completely drawing a blank on that?
My random crappulence is holy shit, my dad shared a story on Facebook where the huge thumbnail was a woman that is a dead ringer for an old ex of mine. It was about a Canadian nurse who attended the Stupid Coup south of the border. I freaked the fuck out, first is my dad making fun of me, because he never liked her (and he liked every lady of mine he ever met) and he wanted to rub my face in it? Second, she would never fucking do that. She was more of a hippy lefty than I've even become. Fuck you dad, you fucking self-righteous prick. You've never shied away from a chance to fucking humiliate me publicly. You asshole. This all shot through my head over the course of the moments it took me to look closer at the face and realize it wasn't her and that the woman was from Ontario.
Jesus I might have some lingering father issues I haven't resolved.

Been having an interesting conversation with a lady over email.
I didn't answer because I get these kind of things all the time. Well, mostly they are ones requesting that they be able to post and would I allow it. Kind of like really polite spam.
Persistent, ain't she? So I thought I'd finally answer.
But like most salesmen, she didn't want to take no for an answer.
My response.
So this begs the question(s). Why would anyone think this place has any value and how much do YOU think it would be worth? (I'm not looking to sell, I'm just having fun with the amounts.)

My own opinion? The site is not worth anything significant to advertisers. We get a lot of visits, but those visits are from the same 100-200 people, so not unless they're looking to specifically target THIS GROUP. It would be like selling ad space in the employee break room. I don't even know if the aggregate contents would be worth $2k for anything other than as an enclosed population for anthropological research.
Also Dave, if I catch you selling this website to some fly-by-night huckster, I will take a week off work to come over there and pee on your doorknobs.

I have one and if anyone else did surreptitiously that would make it plural.
Throw out an absurd number, if they take the bait and actually give you the absurd amount, let us know and then just set up a new forum somewhere else and we all migrate over there.
I don't really see this happening, but in this completely hypothetical scenario, which would be more amusing: realizing a company bought a worthless forum for a lot of money, or Kurtz/Straub realizing their temper-tantrum made someone an absurd amount of money?
I am super stressed out about work and am on an almost entirely cheez whiz and diet coke diet.
I look forward to seeing you all on Jalforums
