giant black bear wreaking havoc
"I have a refrigerator in the garage. He opened it up, drank a gallon of orange juice, opened the freezer above and munched two frozen pizzas and snacked on frozen chicken," Philpott said. "He broke all the shelves and racks out of the refrigerator, bit into some fruit punch and squirted it all over everywhere, then dragged the trash can outside and took a crap the size of a basketball on the front lawn."
no shit sherlock
"According the Bureau of Labor Statistics, no one saw a higher rate of unemployment than architects, with the profession declining 17.8 percent."

meow mixy
so, there's this new guy in the office, and he loves to eat canned tuna. i think it's a protein, muscle building dietary thing. anyway, i think canned tuna is the most disgusting thing on the planet. it tastes horrible, and it stinks like a can of wet cat food. for this reason, i have decided to name him fancy feast. meow.
mum mum mum mah whorish face
megan phelps, the crazy granddaughter of crazy fred phelps, founder of the the westboro baptist church, has hitched her wagon to the fame monster (via director kevin smith?) in yet another desperate attempt to remain in the newsez. phelps has been using twitter (ugh, really?) to harass smith, and promote her untimely and hilarious (though not in the intended way) parody of lady gaga's poker face. she gives it a fundamentalist christain twist by changing the chorus from:
can't read my,
can't read my
no he can't read my poker face
(she's got to love nobody)
can't read my
can't read my
no he can't read my poker face
(she's got to love nobody)
-to-
you ain't got,
you ain't got
no you ain't got no poker face
(you show your filth to everybody)
you just got,
you just got,
you just got your whorish face!
(you show your filth to everybody)

oh, brother.
Here’s a rundown of occupations that were among the worst hit in 2009. (Data is from the BLS and looks at the employment picture through the third quarter of this year, the most recent occupational comparative data available.) 1. Architects
A feature in BusinessWeek earlier this year asked: “How Can Architects Survive the Recession?”
Alas, many did not.
Job losses in the profession jumped 17.8 percent, bringing the total number of employed architects to 189,000 in the first three quarters of 2009, compared to 230,000 in the same period a year earlier, according to the BLS.
Clearly, tough times in the construction industry did a number on architectural jobs, but better days are expected.
The BLS’ most recent Monthly Labor Review that looks at employment projections through 2018 shows that architecture and engineering occupations will grow by about 10 percent. (via)
the rest of the list consisted of:
2. carpenters
3. production managers and assembly workers
4. pilots
5. computer software engineers
6. mechanical engineers
7. construction workers
8. tellers
9. bookkeeping, accounting and auditing clerks
i think at least one person in my extended family falls into each of these categories. ;(
