Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

I was supposed to fly, with my whole family, later that morning. We drove instead.

From a famous promontory near watchung, with about a thousand people, I watched the second tower fall.

We had a peer set to interview at C.F that morning, right as the disaster started. He'd missed a ferry and that caused him to be late for his interview. Just as well.

A number of our friends commuted through that site every morning at the same time. Luckily, they all eventually reported in, but we'd thought they were affected directly for a lot of the day.

I'm one of the good ones! Besides, I own the guillotine company, and you can't have one.

Would you consider maybe not being a billionaire?

I mean, the lead pipe is also an option. The guillotine is actually for your sake.

I like the good 'ol fashioned 5/8 inch rubber heater hose. About 2 or so feet of it. It's stiffer and a bit heavier than a section of regular garden hose. It'll take alot longer than a lead pipe.

I imagine that trip wasn't quite as carefree as it was meant to be

With a toddler! I wedged a little TV between the seats, facing backwards, and played a video of Cathy Rigby's legendary performance of Peter Pan, over and over, all the way down, and all the way back. By the time we got home, I had the entire thing memorized, and I had never actually SEEN it.
