Beefeaters. I concur...

Sounds more like Chris Rock to me but...

LMAO at him yelling at the dogs..."Tell that bitch to chill!!!" "Bitch be cool!!"

And yes, he does sound like Chris Rock trying to do Sam Jackson.

So I don't know how many people are familiar with Raising Canes (are they national or regional?), but there is a place in College Station named Layne's Chicken Fingers that is basically the exact same menu. You could probably order a #1 at both places, switch the packaging and fool the people you give them to. So when Canes came to College Station they built their place across from campus 2 doors down the street from Laynes, with like a crappy Italian restaurant between them. So that restraurant went tits up, and now they are working on it again, and I come to find out that some asshole has decided he is going to throw THIS right in between Laynes and Canes.

I also award this guy like -1000 points for converting "Chicken Fingers" to "Fowl Digits" to come up with his lame ass name. +1 point for the slogan "Awful Good Chicken Fingers" to hedge his bets no matter how his product tastes.

I've not been to either but one of our goober contractors from Louisiana won't shut up about Cane's.

"and I come to find out that some asshole has decided he is going to throw THIS right in between Laynes and Canes."

From Blood Meridian:

"The woman sat like that blind interlocutrix between Boaz and Jachin inscribed upon the one card in the juggler's deck that they would not see come to light, true pillars and true card, false prophetess for all."

Excellent!

Yeah, well, I'm sure you'll be taking up at least half of one of the lanes next to you.

No idea where to put this, so I'm doing it here...

So, my boss got walked out a few weeks ago for myriad reasons that I'm too paranoid to recount in extreme detail (beyond what I already have) here. With his departure, we've kicked into full "The King Is Dead Mode" and motherfuckers are on some Game of Thrones shit.

I got an invite to a conference call today with one of the banks that holds some of the cash and investments my firm oversees. This bank is under my oversight because of the types of investments it holds. The call was to go over some VERY minor trading problems that could be solved in 15 minutes and keep it moving, but the manager from our trading area was on the call too.

I did not get on the call (because of an overrun in my earlier meeting) until about 5-10 minutes after the start of the call.

I "beep" in but it was in the middle of a conversation, so I guess no one heard my entrance. I sit there quietly for 25 minutes while my counterpart from trading starts talking like he is in charge (he is not...and has no shot in hell to be) and then proceeds to throw me and one of my staff under the bus.

I sat there quietly the whole time and never said a thing; I just wanted to maximize my "fly on the wall" experience. I was getting HEATED during the call and finding out this dude's true character but I had to go to chair another call so I had to announce my presence. I stopped everyone from talking, told them I was listening the past 25 minutes but wanted everyone to discuss their points, then I listed all the things that needed to be done to get this (15 minute problem) solved. I then said I had to run to another meeting, so I would follow up with the bank and Mr. Cohort individually.

Mr. Cohort has stayed in his office with his door shut the last 3 times I've walked past. I'm about to drop some fire on him. Seriously.

They smile in your face, all the time they want to take your place, back stabbers.

I've worked in a couple viper's nests, remove the cancers before they poison the whole environment, it's the only way

in any place I have worked,one thing never fails, if you put a microscope on someone you can find enough for a dismissal, doesnt matter how good or careful they are (or you are)

just lay in the cut, don't extend yourself, dont go out of your way, just wait for said person to make an eventual fuck up and when they do, jump all over it

"just lay in the cut, don't extend yourself, dont go out of your way"

But now I make hits, every single day
With that nigga, the diggy Dr. Dre
So lay back in the cut, motherfucker 'fore you get shot
It's 1-8-7 on a motherfuckin cop

heh, better to find out now than later.

he sounds like a dumbass anyways, as if his little power trip wasn't going to get back to you even if you weren't on the call.

Don't get me started. I could go on with that kind of music forever.

Bkyln - You need someone you trust to go into that dude's office and pull the Samuel L Jackson stuff.

"What does Bkyln look like? Does he look like a bitch?!? Then why you treating him like one...."
