Hiring in the Millinneal era: A Discourse.

laserguru - March 5, 2016

As someone who has been in management for fucking ever, one of the joys, no thrills of my job is the hiring process. Over the course of my mumblemumblegrumble years of being a manager I've hired and fired more folks than I can remember. The first person I ever had

Straight White Super Bowl 2016: Oscars Recap

makeitsnowondem - March 5, 2016March 5, 2016

The Oscars were last weekend. Let's see how my predictions did. Best Picture, Best Director, Acting Awards (5/6) I missed only one of the big six awards, with Best Director going to Alejandro González Iñárritu for The Revenant instead of George Miller for Mad Max: Fury Road. The lead acting categories went, as expected, to Leonardo DiCaprio and

Contenders Keep Stumbling – EPL Destiny Update/Weekend Preview

After the standings tightened last weekend, the midweek fixtures loomed very large. Of the three main contenders, only Leicester played Tuesday...and managed only a disappointing draw against middling West Brom. So, the door was wide open for the red-hot Spurs to take over 1st on goal differential, and Arsenal to

...so I gave you a Far Side cartoon, instead. Well, it's now March. March means spring is closer. It also means it's time for the greatest sporting event over the year*, the NCAA Tournament. While we're not quite there yet, it's tantalizingly close. Smaller conferences have begun their tournaments, and the

This Week In Violence! Presents Bo-Taoshi

The Maestro - March 4, 2016March 4, 2016

To residents of the Western world, it seems almost standard for us to use the adjectives "weird" or "crazy" to describe most things coming out of Japan, and yet despite these cliches, I simply can't find another word more appropriate to describe the game of bo-taoshi to you all. This is

Duchess - March 4, 2016March 4, 2016

The February of Duchess fell a bit flat. I have spent it sick. Not on my deathbed or anything but just enough to make wandering out in 30 degree weather not worth it. So I sat around on my couch playing video games and flipping between watching cartoons and political

The scene: The DFO clubhouse. Future Clone Debbie Harry holding the troll doll that used to be the present-day body of Moose, marches Doktor Zymm back out to the main room to find Low Commander of the Super Soldiers watching TV with the DFOers. Low Commander of the Super Soldiers:

Second only to gifs (jifs?) of pretty young ladies, the one thing that [DFO] Commentists seem to live for is analytics. So, cutesy intro aside, here's an unbiased look at which divisions in 2015 were truly the Best of the Best (Plus the NFC East). I subscribe to the "you are

CrimeBeat!: For Whom The Bell-End Tolls

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - March 3, 2016March 3, 2016

It was another boring week here at CrimeBeat!- no one went batshit at the Combine, there were no Fax Machine Malfunctions at the franchise tag deadline, but (as far as we know) no one punched, choked or otherwise abused a spouse or child, so....progress? In the great journalistic tradition of

"Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no fibs." After last night, the Ninth Commandment is going to be getting strained pretty seriously, as opponents try to run down the leaders. AMC might as well keep showing the "Godfather" movies on repeat. Hillary sure seems like she's going to pull
