"Having babies is fun, and having clones would be even more fun," Richard G. Seed, PhD, told WebMD. "Having a little Richard Seed in the house would be great!"
Yeah, having babies is SUCH A BLAST! This guy has a PhD. In being an idiot.

This is a great pen. It's called the Pentel Energel. Buy it for me. I remembered how much I liked it and added it to my Christmas Wish list. The entire current list can be viewed here. Apparently I have waaaaaay too much time on my hands. Oh, I almost forgot, I also need a computer chair so I can stop using my roommate's wooden kitchen chair. And I need a backrub too, stupid 25lb. frozen turkeys.

I love it when you try to explain something to someone and they get all hostile and won't understand you. It's not that they can't understand you, or just don't understand you, they won't.
For instance, tonight Megan Farmer and I were working in the office.
A woman (I can't call her a lady) came up and said, "Can I get a 4-way 50 cents box quick pick on the instant?"
For those of you who are thinking, "What the hell was she talking about?" you are exactly where I was at that point in time. I assumed by "4-way" she meant the game "win 4" so I hit "win 4" then "$.50" then "box" then "quick pick" and I was looking for a button that said "instant" but I couldn't find one and I could only assume she meant "cash value" (as opposed to 26 annual payments). I hit "send" and it printed a 50 cent ticket.
She very rudely said, "Well, that's not what I asked for, so cancel it."
I'm not a whiz with the lotto machine yet, so I asked Megan to come help me.
The lady said to Megan, "This girl doesn't know what she's doing. I want a 4-way 50 cents box quick pick instant."
Megan said, "By 4-way, do you mean win 4?"
The lady said (rolling her eyes), "Uh, yeah, the one with 4 numbers!"
To which Megan said, "Well, it would help if you called it by the real name." (YAY!!! I love it when I'm not the only one who doesn't want to take shite from customers)
So Megan hit "win 4" then "straight/box" then "$.50" then "quick pick" and it printed out a $2.00 ticket.
The woman said, "NO, IT IS SUPPOSED TO COME TO $1.50."
Like I said, I don't know anything about the lottery, but I can't think of a single way to ring that ticket so it would come to $1.50, at least not anywhere near the way the lady was explaining it.
So I said, "Well, it would help if you explain it in a way that we can understand what you mean."
She said, "Well, I thought that's what I just did, FIVE TIMES."
I said, "Actually you only said it twice,"
and Megan said, "You really don't need to talk to me like I'm stupid,"
to which the woman replied, "Well, you must be if you can't ring up a simple ticket."
I turned away and went over to the next customer in line who didn't mutter when she said, "Boy, that woman sure is rude."
The woman said, "Why don't you mind your own f***ing business?"
My customer was shocked and said, "Excuse me, can you watch your language? I have my son with me!"
The woman said, "That's too bad!"
My customer said, "Yeah, well you wanna take it out in the parking lot, ya old bag?"
I was trying so hard not to smile and give her a high five. The original rude woman just turned and walked away without getting her stupid ticket. If I had had anything sharp, I would have hurled it in her direction.
I hope her car breaks down.
And then explodes.
With her in it.
