Baby Knee Pads!?!?!?!



Actually I hate most of the babyproofing section of Babies R Us.

I'm surprised the kid isn't wearing a helmet.

Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

The word "taxpayers". When people use this term, 95% of the time the meaning behind it can be translated as "fuck you, got mine, hands off."

My iPad is my most useful and most used piece of electronics.

I hate the phrase "opening the kimono."

When/where/how is this used?!
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Dumb business/management writing and the occasional news source.

It's in this week's Economist, for instance:

Quote
“If you open the kimono, a lot of good things happen,” says Don Tapscott, a management consultant and author: it keeps the company honest, creates more loyalty among employees and lowers transaction costs with suppliers.

This sounds like me pleading with my wife circa 1987.

So being a flasher is a good career choice?

Google the phrase and a lot of hits come up that clarify its meaning pretty quickly.

I'd never heard of it before today.  It is icky.
