You can't seriously care about this, can you?

This article is a couple of years old... A Story of Limits Whether American-born or foreign-born, Asian Americans have enjoyed a much-envied reputation for achievement in education and technology. However, the modern tale of Asian [1] success in American society obscures the fact that Asians have found it difficult to reach the highest levels of leadership in government, education, and business. For large companies in the Bay Area, this can become a business-impacting issue in the next 5 years as Asians continue to be the fastest growing segment of the Bay Area workforce, especially as technology and knowledge workers. This paper will provide a quantitative review of the slow progress made by the Asian executives in the largest Bay Area corporations and begin a qualitative discussion on underlying factors behind this phenomenon. article on Asians

The news is reporting strange lights over Phoenix that showed up when a traffic camera caught them and a newscast then used that footage. So far, no explanation. Surely lurker has learned to turn the power settings down on his super vibrator, hasn't he? I showed him how! Burst of Light

Aren't Asians well-represented in Silicon Valley? That has been my impression.

Ah, but now the Texas rangers have the Japanese sensation Yu Darvish pitching for them, at least when he is not posing!

You can go to gcursor's profile, click on the find my content button, and enjoy many posts that show his deep wit. Just one that I liked a lot, his question for God: Why did you make a duck-billed platypus? I know that there are reasons to why you created them. I look at the platypus and have to wonder to myself if you were playing a practical joke? Maybe you got drunk one night with the other deities and this was your way of blowing off some steam. Maybe on the day you created the platypus, you were bored with the whole "world creation" thing and came up with the idea of putting two or more creatures together. However I know that we are all your creatures God and the platypus was created by you. But if I were you, I would expect it to be more than a little miffed when it reaches Heaven and finds out it was created just because you lost in Poker. gcursor

So I was feeling a little sorry for myself- yes, it happens- I was thinking that not many people were looking at my threads. We do post to get attention, right? Or is it just to inform, amuse and entertain others? I'll think on that. So, I looked at the first two pages, skipping the pinned topics, on the Hooboy Pub, , which is where I do most of my posting. Ten threads gained more than 100 views. My cheer level went up when I saw that 5 of them were mine! And the one with the most views of all, 512, was also mine. Not to brag, just to cheer me up. Who else is in there? gcursor's I'm Done thread has 167 views, while Totally Oz's desire to Fuck Rush Limbaugh gained 185. Adam Smith did well with his cloud computing thread as 125 views are tallied so far. Also making the list is Four Aces, who asked if we used laptop or PC and gained 190 viewers on that. Hey, there are 11 posts over 100. I just noticed that Oz's question on lies got 109 views too. So, there's another goal for you. Write something that will get more than 100 views! We do like a challenge, don't we?

A friend is scheduled to fly out of Dusseldorf in 3 hours and she is freaked at this news. She connects in London, so could be over the pond when the GPS goes out.

It's not a key, it's a code. It's given to each new member at sign up, and you were told not to lose it at any cost!

Thursday should be the day that the aftereffects of a huge solar storm should be felt on planet earth. Scientists say it could give us a massive jolt. Thursday evening might bring massive auroras, especially if there is not a full moon to dilute the color. That could be the good part. The bad part is that GPS devices could be way off. magnetic, radio, and radiation emissions could really foul up. Airline flights could be screwed. Your car GPS might send you 700 miles just to find a post office. Last time this happened, 6 million people in Quebec lost power. Oh, by the way, watch out for falling satellites! Stormy Weather

The Bieber baby has taste, at least in real estate. His new $10 million home, in the Hollywood Hills, (where else?) is stunning. Follow the link and you will see 12 shots of the place, which Ashton Kutcher had been renting for $50,000 a month! No shots of the Bieber bedroom, where he will wank to thoughts of Ashton in that very room...but you know that's why he bought it! Baby's Home

The Locke has left us, or so it seems. Anyone heard from him? Surely he didn't get locked out?

My interest in hiring escorts has diminished quite a lot. And, every once in a while, I get tired of being Lucky, but sooner or later I return. Gcursor has proven one thing to me in particular, he has a wild sense of humor. We need that.

I forgot part of the story. Former Oakland A's pitcher Rollie Fingers was at the stadium, selling his autograph. For $20, you got a cheap ball and his personal autograph, signed right in front of you. For $40, you got an official Major League baseball. Guess which one I picked? So, naturally, I checked Rollie's signature on the web, and it was the exact same, even the notation that he entered the Hall Of Fame in 1992: Not sure if Rollie felt it was a comedown selling his signature for $20 minus the cost of the ball, but I can't say that he seemed too happy. I think his career preceded the big bucks careers the kids have now. But, I am glad that I got it.

We can make a group trip out of it! Let's see...$500 divided by 4..that's you, me, lookin, and Lurkerspeaks....equals...Burger King or In and Out...or maybe we could add another guy and go to Five Guys! Oz, you like burgers?

Thanks, lurkerspeaks. I am glad we were able to get together. You will get a full, confidential report on Rio. Perhaps I need to meet up with my friends MsGuy and Lookin to rekindle the warmth!

MsGuy, has it occurred to you that I like telling stories in that format? And it is not against the rules, unless you are trying to build your post count, which I am not, and unless you do 30 posts in less than an hour, which I didn't. I think telling a story like that, where each post is sort of its own episode, is fun, and I think many agree with me! Burma Shave

So, the baseball game was fun, dinner was good, but ultimately at Dick's, I struck out! Add the OUT on your own! And that was my trip to Phoenix, told in less than 30 panels in one hour!

They weren't happy at that, as business was slow!

But, first lurker had a few things to say: (Including telling the other dancers that they were losing money because one of their fellow dancers was nasty to us.)

Upset, lurkerspeaks and I headed for the door:

After her performance, she came up to me and said I has not not better dare do that again!

Both lurkerspeaks and I thought he was inviting us to help him lower his shorts. He wasn't. So when I tried, I

One dancer, actually a pretty good looking guy, should have been wearing this t-shirt:

This fellow wasn't there either, but he could have been, since many of the dancers were white, along with at least one Mexican.
