It's the map's absence of elbows that makes it's performance that much more compelling. I don't think I would have cried as much during this jazz elbow dance off if it wasn't for the map's courage in the face of adversity.

I saw a lady on T.V. She was born without arms. Literally, she was born with her hands attached to her shoulders... and that was sad, but then they said, "Lola does not know the meaning of the word 'can't.'" And that to me was kinda worse... in a way... ya know? Not only does she not have arms, but she doesn't understand simple contractions. It's very simple, Lola, you just take two words, you put them together, then you take out the middle letter, you put a comma in there and you raise it up!

I was TA-ing a calculus class that was being taught by a post-doc in Pure Math. While marking the exams I tell him "Maybe I should just give random, normally distributed marks".

He looks at me and begins the following story: "Back in the 90s, I was drafted into the Colombian Army for a year as a logistics officer. We did absolutely nothing in the base for a year, until someone from high command came to do an inspection. The problem was that we were supposed to do firing drills every month, but we never did them, so we had loads of bullets stocked up."

"The day before the officer came, myself and ten others went to the firing range with all the bullets that were meant to be expended. For 9 hours we shot bullets into the targets, usually shooting two guns at once, until they were all gone. Then I used Excel for the first time to generate randomized shooting scores for all the students. Problem was, they were a bit too normally distributed."

This is more realistic than you know. I cannot tell you how many times I've found myself doing something retarded for an officer because a general is "walking through our area."

I spent six months working "inventory logistics" (ie. "pulling stuff from warehouse shelves to put in customer orders") for a medium-sized publishing concern once. We had a guy who had been with the company for over a decade. Every day, he would walk up and down the aisles carrying a clipboard. He would look at the clipboard as he walked along, then stop at various spots, look at the shelf, then look back at the clipboard, then turn around and walk in a completely different direction.

Some new hire casually asked one day "So, what does he do?" There was a light chuckle among the longer-term workers, since no one really knew. Even the supervisor had a bit of a laugh at it.

The next day, the supervisor was buried in papers, frantically flipping through reams of old memos. We didn't know what she was up to, but we heard her say ClipboardGuy's name a few times.

A few days later, the warehouse manager was having a heated meeting with the supervisor, and ClipboardGuy's name was brought up several more times.

This went on for a few more weeks, and it trickled all the way up to the vice president of the company. No one knew what ClipboardGuy was doing, or even what his job was supposed to be. Turns out, for the past ten years, he had been doing absolutely zero work, but was raking in a hefty salary due to attendance bonuses.

tl;dr - I worked with a guy who made a career out of clipboard carrying, but a newbie ruined it for him.

Protip: unplug the copier with your foot (or in some other discreet way) and then "try" to use it. Curse under your breath.

Open the side panel and stare at it for a while. Reach in there and spin a knob or two. Close the side panel. Plug it back in. Repeat until bored with front/back/etc panels.

Bam. Half an hour wasted and a "hey I heard you fixed the copier, thanks for taking the initiative on that, champ" from the boss.

quick edit: for bonus points, pull the toner out and make sure to get some it all over your hands. Proof of work done + a reason to wash your hands for another 10 minutes.

When I was at a refresher training the high commander of the Finnish armed forces (besides the president) made a surprise visit and checked us on our excellent blowing shit up with 50kg of explosives exercise. Naturally somebody was supposed to salute him, but nobody had a clue what his rank was. The best our unit's highest ranking person could come up with was something like "admiral commander sir". He did seem a bit amused at our great skills.

[–]redworm 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The problem is that we're not encouraged to be efficient. If you get something done faster than planned and under budget then instead of being given windows for error your next deadline will be a lot shorter and your budget will be a lot smaller. So you end up getting your shit done then finding ways to stall and bullshit because otherwise the command comes down on you for not being busy enough.

It's really fucking stupid. We are effective but far from efficient.

[–]yankeeairpirate 9 points10 points ago

The units that are actually doing something, don't need to fake it and won't. The rest of them are trying to justify their budget like you said.

Before the camera comes out, it actually looks real. The camera should have just angled toward the walkers a little better.

I think that it is really the edge of the screen and the gif maker was moving the video around in the gif to keep the crewman in question centered in the gif. Even though the original tv shot never centered in on him.

He's pantomiming work in the hopes that no one notices that he's not holding anything for a quick scene.

They did the same thing in the first episode of firefly with Wash pretending to hold the steering wheel of Serenity. I think because the camera wouldn't fit where the steering wheel was and keep all the characters in frame at the same time.

Looks like the director just yelled at him "I DON'T CARE!

Thank you. I watched the gif five times trying to figure out what happened at the very end. I thought Coco tossed something to Andrew WK but I never saw anything in Coco's hands.

I just watched 20 minutes worth of Andrew WK videos on Youtube because of this. Thank you. I had forgotten how awesome he is in person.

I like how the black guy (Tracey Morgan?) starts to get up to dance along, then is like; "Fuck that. That is WAY too white for me"

Looks like he is tightening a nut on those pipes or something. So he is doing something and that isn't a map/poster...

Still, I like the GIF version better.

I picture this song to some kind of corny 60s pop song:

All the cool kids get your self on the floor

Do the Crank! (2x)

Take up a partner and get a against the wall

Put up your elbows and have a ball!

Do the Crank! (2x)

Shake those hips and move your elbows up and down.

It's all good, no need to frown

No turn that crank to the left

Show that girl that she's the best

Do the crank (2x)

[–]comox 14 points15 points ago

Pause. Take a breath and go for yours

on my command

Now hit the dance floor

It's gonna make you sweat till you bleed

Is that dope enough indeed

I paid the price to control the dice

I'm more precise to the point I'm nice

Let the music take control of your heart and soul

unfold, your body is free and behold

Dance till you can't dance, till you can't dance no more

Get off the floor and get a blow

Then come back and upside down,

easy now let me see you move

Next in line groove, work me all night

The music is my life

Ev'ry body dance now!

Ev'ry body dance now!

Ev'ry body dance now!

He's actually holding a thin semi-tranparent "wrench" and turning it. ...just watched it. It's from "The Lights Of Zetar", season 3 Episode 13 - at 37:10 into it.

He is using a string to find the distance between two points on a map.

You get a piece of string and measure it out against the legend. That string now represents a distance, say 2000 miles. You start at the first point of the map and hold the string taught from that point in the direction of the destination. You then swing the hand on point A over the other hand and it will be closer to the destination. So far, you have 2 lengths of string. That's 4000 miles. You repeat until you reach point B and blammo, you have your distance.

That guy is doing an awful job though.

I think you might actually be right, and the extra somehow either terribly misunderstood how that was supposed to work, or he was just messing around and didn't realize it would actually be used in the real take.

You know that you pretended you were a driver, or a captain every time you saw one of those, and the entire playground was a car/boat/spaceship. And that was the coolest moment of your life.. until the next when you saw something else to play with.

It's amazing Roddenberry kept that shot in the show, it looks so lame. On the other hand, if it took more than 40 years for anyone to notice then I guess it was a pretty good call.
