The two have nothing in common, but I find it very disturbing that the Wikipedia entry for “sharecropping” is about a fifth the size of the entry for “Michael Vick“… I love my dogs and I think this bastard needs to fry for what he’s done; he needs to be thrown into a cage and poked with a stick until he gnashes his teeth. But this is a recent news event. Sharecropping has been an institution of covert slavery and oppression thats been used for centuries and is still used today in even sneakier ways. Just one of those random thoughts that I wanted to share.

I saw this “hipness” test on CheshireCatalyst‘s pages:

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here’s how it works:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)

2. Put it on shuffle

3. Press play

4. For every section, type the song that’s playing..i.e opening credits

5. When you go to a new question, press the next button

6. DON’T LIE. 😀

My Results:

Rob Riggle. Many of you know him as a senior corespondent from Comedy Central’s the Daily Show. I was reading his bio the other day and read that he was a Major in the Marine Corps. That’s pretty high up there. And he’s still in his 30s, so it isn’t like he reached tenure or anything. Most of the O-4s I’ve encountered were complete lifer assholes. For this guy to leave the USMC and go on to do other things amazes me. What an inspiration to service members who feel afraid to quit the incredably unfulfilling, thankless, dehumanizing, relentlessly soul destroying job that is military service. Rob Riggle, I salute you… and not just because I have to.
