I really want to apply for a job that requires a transcript, but since I currently work at the school, generating a transcript will cause speculation

Man, that bites. That shit should really be automated. Or, we should be old enough that our actual transcripts should not matter. Or are you applying for an academic position?

I have a chocolate chunk "muffin" from Coffee Bean. Why is it not a cupcake?

Or, we should be old enough that our actual transcripts should not matter. Or are you applying for an academic position?

I would think so! I have proof of graduation (hell, I can send them a JPG of my diploma, it's on my freaking wall right now!)

It's not an academic position, it's a position with a court system, and senior enough that your grades should not be an issue. I have to go home and see if I have one in my files. I might, I am such a pack rat.

Wouldn't that just be a cake then?

Nah -- I think Crumbs cupcakes are too big.

Or, we should be old enough that our actual transcripts should not matter.

This one.

It's kind of like how I couldn't register for grad school because I didn't have my vaccination records (25 years after the fact), so I was going to get revaxed, until I got to stand in front of someone with authority who just asked where I got my undergrad degree and then checked the box saying I was good to go -- because of course the undergrad place really checked, and when I was 17 I still had access to my pediatric medical records.

...OK, it's not like that at all, but it felt similar when I started typing!

Shaft vs Scarface & movie comics that should have been

A John Shaft comic book? Fighting Scarface? How awesome would that have been? I got thinking about all the movies that could have lived on past the final credits that never got adapted into comics.

Unfortunately, I think the idea of these comics is probably more powerful and entertaining than an actual run of movie adaptations. They would probably be done by staff writers with no love for the characters. So I settled on making the covers as a way to fuel your imagination at what might have been, because I believe in your imagination more than work-for-hire. Rock it out!

The Other Adventures of the Dread Pirate Roberts looks pretty awesome.

The first time I read this, I missed the dog part: [link] Still, at least cats wait until you're dead, right?

Sometimes I'm still surprised that I am a dude who goes to meetings and talks on teleconferences and shit.

I am also a dude who gets free lunches, so that's cool. Kung pao scallops, here I come.

That one reminded me of the dog who cured the (slight) infection I had on my toe via licking it! Good thing I was awake...

This has got to be one of the scariest headlines ever:

Meet the Bodybuilding Neo-Nazi Porn Star Who Embalms Dead People for a Living

The internet is full of strange people. Corinna Burt may be the strangest. The prominent white supremacist is an undertaker, bodybuilder, and former torture porn star. By phone, she discussed her unusual life and how racism "saved her" from porn.

Oh dear God. I couldn't bring myself to read the rest....

Good thing she doesn't embalm live people, though, right?

That one reminded me of the dog who cured the (slight) infection I had on my toe via licking it!

I will die first. I'm good with that.

I thought it was just his best friend. I still can't shake that particular ick.

I'm getting a total paranoia with people not answering my emails. Acknowledge me!
