seriousficSo I'm doing an eight-hour shift at work today when I find out... and here is where the title comes in, that management has somehow failed to schedule someone in the deli for two and a half hours. Old guy gets off work, new guy comes in, somehow these two events are a James Cameron movie apart. It's not that I mind, really, since working in the deli is just waiting for someone to walk up and ask for meat, which leaves a lot of time to jot things down on the ol' notepad. It's like having a corporate sponsor for my Cara/Kahlan fic! Although there was this one time a man came to the counter to ask for a freshly-sliced meat and where most of God's children had a face, he had a void.
Anyway, so it's not like I mind working the deli, it's just that I hate the thought that someone's gonna ask me "Hey, why didn't you get your work done?" and "I was too busy doing someone else's job to do mine" will be considered too snippy an answer.
Speaking of the last Nikita I watched (it was the one with Michael's angst. Did that narrow it down?), are we still doing the "not all Muslims are bad! Just the bad ones!" PSA every time a villain is Al Qaeda? The whole "Imperialist swine!" "How dare you misuse the Koran, Osama not Laden!" dialogue is getting kind of condescending now. Thanks, CW, I was going to burn a Koran, but thanks to your sexy new hit, fresh episodes every Thursday only on the CW, I've been educated while I was entertained! And on The Walking Dead, Michael Rooker taught me that racism was wrong. Result!
Also, is there going to be waterboarding every time a Muslim terrorist needs to torture a good guy? I get it, irony irony satire... I just don't think anyone who flies into a building to meet chicks is going to be real big on ironic detachment.
Say what you will about the insurgents, but they don't listen to the Dresden Dolls and their facial hair is unironic.
I miss the 80s, where every drug lord and South African diplomat worth his salt had Al Leong with some exotic torture implement. People took pride in their villainy back then.
Your joke here.
