People make fun of me for my refusal to say things like "Butthole Surfers" on the air. I have also been told that "bitch" is OK to say.

Shit, though, is apparently NOT OK to say. Half a dozen people ran in to stare at me in horror as I listed off "You just heard the song Shitbeard, off of the album Sexy Pee Story."
I didn't think the "7 dirty words" were a literal rule. This FCC stuff is pretty stupid.
(at least I didn't play their other album that we have, Cunning Stunts. I always mix up the first syllables.)

I remember several years back when a CBS show said "shit" on the air and it was huge news. The rule at the time was they could only say it as long as it was an abstract concept and didn't refer to actual excrement. Kind of like how PG-13 movies will sometimes get away with an "oh fuck!"

Maybe you'll get lucky and the FCC won't catch you.  As long as there wasn't an FCC inspector within a 15 foot radius of the building you should be fine.

oh, I am mostly mad that I had to turn myself in to the personnel director. I think the fcc forgets we exist.

why am I facebook friends with someone who accuses me of being intellectually dishonest, naiive, an elitist, close-minded, and someone who thinks things through poorly.

not to mention that at some point I stopped arguing with him, but he kept coming back and posting additional jabs.

i need some sort of ***** to poke me in the head when i try to argue on the internet. NEVER WORTH IT.

[Doc]

Because you are friends with college students.

I used to have friends who got along fine in real life but had epic and ongoing livejournal arguments. My favourite outcome was one person being called a 'pseudo-rapist'. I never really bothered to find out why.

[theinevitable]

ugh. this guy.

if I de-friend him, or just say "you're an asshole," he will tell our mutual friends that he bested me.

just because I am very bad at arguing doesn't mean you're right.

There is a childhood friend that I don't talk to anymore.

He was a PhD student for Philosophy.   

He asked me why I wasn't getting married to my long term partner of at the time six years.  I explained that we had issues with the institution of marriage and don't want to go that route.

The resulting conversation eventually ended with him telling me that I couldn't hold strong opinions because I hadn't yet defined for myself the concept of "Good".

Higher Education can result in brilliant idiocy.

LATER...
Ladyfriend:  How was dinner?
Me: I... I... don't know.  I'm not prepared to answer that for myself.

Just say "you're an asshole".  He'll get over it.

this guy is also a philosophy student.

fuck philosophy. i think i might be getting a STONE COLD F in that class.

[lprkn]

I enjoy learning about philosophy, but not showing what I've learned. Especially through papers and essays. Which I should be doing right now, instead being on a board about cartoon cats.

This semester:
Hobbes
Locke
Rousseau
Mill/Utilitarianism
Marx (we are on this now)
Modern Dudes: Rawls (modern liberalism), Sandel (communitarianism/modern republicanism), Nozick (?)

I have been asked to represent the radio station as a judge for a campus-wide battle of the bands thing. the winners get to open for the black keys (kind of).

So, yeah, I had a nightmare that I was mean to the bands, and everyone started chanting that I was a hipster douchebag.

I kind of want to get all Simon LeCowell on their asses.

[Doc]

You really, really should, at least in a fun kind of way. Play it up, wear a turtleneck.
Everyone loves a villain.

[Toaster]

I just realized that being called a "hipster douchebag" wouldn't make me feel bad at all, but being called just a regular douchebag would. Somehow the qualifier turns off some switch in my mind.

Douchebags and douche....baguettes?
