and where is lenny?
You don’t want Lenny…
Remember that New Years at Lenny’s? He didn’t even have a clock.
I’ve heard of a handy man, but a handle man? That’s a new one on me!
He’s Dr. Handle’s kind of man!
I already have one. His name isn’t Carl.
Your (isn’t Carl) might not be as straight as you think…
Carl has the right touch. He’s very popular with the ladies.
The picture is of a box, not a lady
Oh, so THAT’S what I’ve been doing wrong!
he likes handling ladies’ boxes
|the kid|
What if I don’t like what handling feels like with Carl? Can I switch for someone else?
……no refunds or trade ins!
If I get a smaller box, will that come with a Carl Jr.?
That’s something you need to discuss with A……..
So this is the advice that my life is giving me? I will discuss it with A… and see what he says.
It’s ok. Failing is also part of life.
That’s why my favorite sport is baseball. One can fail to get a hit 70% of the time and still be considered great.
I’ve had enough of failing. I want to sink my teeth (what’s left of them) into a nice, smoking, juicy side of success.
That does change my perspective on baseball.
Just remember that you are the only one who can define success for yourself. My conviction is that we only truly fail when we don’t learn from an experience, or when we are not fully paying attention to the glorious spectacle right in front of us, the one called life. Most of the powerful learning and transformative experiences in my life have been things most people would call “failures.”
Don’t mind me, I’m pissed at the world right now because of the business thing. I thought it was the thing to do and it ate it, badly. I don’t like that part. I let the business down and wasted a whole lot of money. Wtf.
I really do know the feeling. I thought my full-time private practice was going to be fabulously successful, and it was a dream I had nurtured for years, when it turned out I worked my behind off only to end up so deeply in debt that bankruptcy was close at hand. And I often blame it on the system, which is broken, but there were certainly personal failures and mistakes involved, too. I usually gloss over that part, because some of those imperfections are with me still. But today I’m where I need to be–I’m quite sure of that–and I wouldn’t be here if that hadn’t happened.
I admire both of you for trying. I looked at the “being your own boss” thing a few times, and I could see lots of pitfalls, so I decided to stay in “the system”, even though it was a real pain sometimes. It seems to have worked out for me, but I knew a lot of people for whom it didn’t.
I had done other businesses and things were good. I felt really good about this one. Of course I made mistakes, some obvious, and some not; but what I could have recovered from in another time was not to be.
I was selling electric scooters and bikes. Help reduce carbon, and undercut the need for the oil war… Credit contracted and gas prices plummeted just as I opened shop. Unemployment in some ares near here is at 30%, and those are the official figures, in real terms i would add at least ten percent to that.
This is why I work for gum on the internet now.
This bothers me a lot as I am an environmentalist, and I wanted to help the ocean, which is turning into carbolic acid.
Bluejade,
Try to stay positive in these hard times. You went into business, not just for profit, but to help the environment. You are a good person and something good has to come back to you.
You know you have our support at Engrish funny.
But I KNEW about the problem and forgot to check! *tries to kick own arse- falls down*
If that’s the worst mistake you’ve made this week, you’re doing better than most of us!
Simple, lower your standards. There, doesn’t that feel better? Works for me! *helps DNT up, dusts him off*
Thanks. I’m only kidding. I really don’t have that much to complain about. I’ve put a lot of effort into many things that eventually went kaput, but in my case they didn’t seriously affect the way I made my living, which is why I feel entitled to say that luck really DOES have a lot to do with the outcome.
* waits for JohnB to define luck*
I define luck much the same way as I define coincidence, which is that there is a functional relationship between events that we don’t happen to be able to articulate at present.
We only change monkeys. Is Carl a monkey?
I don’t know if Carl is a monkey or not. That’s actually a good question to ask.
You can watch ATHF on The Cartoon Channel’s Midnight Swim and take your best guess.
IN SOVIET RUSSIA, CARL HANDLE YOU!
heheh…I found this on IMMD:
Last night, we saw a trailer for some movie coming out about Russian spies trying to kill the president. I turned to my (Russian) friend and was like, āIn Soviet Russia, President Kill You!ā Then we paused, and at the same time said, āWait, no, that one actually worksā¦ā IMMD
…ŠæŃŠ°Š²Š“Š°
This was a response to Shadow’s comment.
Cool, but there is no “i” in the Cyrillic alphabet.
Uh-huh, there is too, pronounced as a long e, as in keep.
ŠŠ¶Š¾Š½B could be written with ŠŃ or ŠŃŠ¹ to be pronounced as B.
Ah, correction, I don’t think it is used in Russian but the other Slavic languages that use Cyrillic use it.
That is correct. A long e in Russian is an Š, Šø. I know the i appears in some other Slavic languages that use mostly Cyrillic, but I couldn’t tell you how many. (I left the “B” in my name just because I got tired of looking for the Cyrillic Š on the keyboard. I took Russian in middle school, high school, college, and graduate school, and at one time was almost fluent. But that was 25 years ago.)
Yes, I know what you mean. I used to be fluent in a couple of other languages and understood several more when spoken. But I have found, like a few other things in life, that it has become a -use it or lose it- thing. Since I don’t use it much…
But I have also found that things I once learned will tend to come back to me much more easily than trying to learn something brand new. I honestly believe that if I could spend, say, a month in Russia, I’d probably come back speaking better than ever. Of course, since I have no real opportunity to speak it here (Spanish is the only other language I hear with any regularity around here, and even it’s not very often), it would get rusty yet again.
What if… this handle and Carl are contents of the box (fragile)?
Oh, when I get out of this stupid box, Herr Doktor Schrodinger is in for such an earbashing…
So Carl is the name of Schrodinger’s cat?
Carl may or may not be the name of the cat; but Carl better be there when the box is opened.
So now we know what Carl (CAAAAARRRRLLLLL!!!!) did with those two hands that were missing from the dead human in the llamas house…he cooked them up, ate them AND used them as a safety graphic…most macabre…
QC fail at the stamp factory
As you can see in the picture, only carl has the ability to make quadrilaterals and other objects levitate without touching them.
If that is a two-dimensional object, it’s a hexagon with a Y-shaped white decoration in the middle. If that represents a three-dimensional object, it is a cube, a three-dimensional object with not four but twelve linear edges. (Nonetheless the levitation is impressive, although the levitation of two-dimensional objects would be of limited utility in this universe, where we regularly deal with three-dimensional objects.)
*observes* *raises hand* Actually, it a cube with white rounded off edges*
er, yellow rounded off edges*
And that is not a white Y decoration. The supposed Y is the same color as the box material.
Sorry. A yellow Y. I said white because it appeared to me this was a black-and-white pattern that happened to be printed on yellow material.
Ya’ll better stay out of his pool.
Is this some obscure line from Beowulf? ‘Great was his strength, but greater was the size of the box, for Amazon had once again used enormous amounts of packaging. “Wait, Beowulf”, counselled young Wiglaf, “The contents are fragile – your axe could cleave this box with one stroke, but might damage the contents. Wait for your your housecarls to return, and one can assist you”. So Beowulf heeded his nephew’s advice to handle with carl, and the box was not destroyed.’
That’s a misquote
fair suck of the sav, I never studied Old English, so I struggle a bit.
No, it’s a myth quote.
I was hwaet-ing for you to make a dreadful pun…
I thought it was beautiful.
Ace, utterly ace!!
Amazon sent me a box sized 12″ x 12″ x 6″ last month, which contained a calendar and one, repeat one, DVD!
this must have something to do with my ex…
Or maybe with our fan club?
@Carl or maybe with our fan club
*throws hissy fit* BUT I DON’T WANNA WAIT FOR CARL!!!!
He’s gone levitating with his house in South America.
I thought he was just hiking on the Appalachian Trail.
That’s what she said!
No I didn’t!
