    So, is the kid's full name Georgica Sawn Pond Rose Petal Qi Xin Popcorn? Because that one last name is just the final insult.


    Also, is Faith Popcorn more of a country singer name, a clown name or a hobo name? I can't decide.

    And are you willing to do all of this demeaning, soul-sucking crap for a mere $16.60 an hour*? If so, put on your hairshirt and come on down!


    *This is the high end, based on 3,000 hours a year at $50,000. You'll probably start at the low end.

    I knew of a "futurist" once. Jeanne Dixon. She retrospectively reported grand and astonishing predictions. However, when she tried her hand in real time, not so much. She drastically missed 'em all, and ended up writing one of those silly astrology columns. There's probably some term for a has-been futurist.

    I'm so happy that someone else remembers that!

    I remember when she went on Phil Donahue's show in Chicago back in the early 70s & past posted a prediction as to who Nixon was going to appoint to run the then Dept. of HEW.

    Except it had been printed in newspapers the day before!

    @Greasy Thumb Guzik: It was a simpler time, back then, with trust risen up above the gullibility line. All of her predictions were like, her waking up, anxious, calling a butler or friend; "Tell Roosevelt we should guard the ships in Hawaii!"


    She would tell us this in the seventies, about 1941. So it went. She was the most famous hindsight prognosticator of her era.

    Can you construct an Upper East Side townhouse?

    Can you find talented and gifted Chinese food?

    Can you cut a holistic veteran in New Jersey with bamboo?

    And get hot in a restaurant.

    No problem?


    Salary is lots of learning about Futurama.

    Just because she doesn't know how old her daughter is doesn't mean she fails to update her profile on a regular basis. Remember, "company comes first."

    I hope the biggest trend in 2009 is that companies will stop paying outrageous amounts of money for twee-sounding bullshit, and will instead concentrate on making a good product at a reasonable price, but I guess that's just too much to ask.

    "A sea of faces, young, perspiring and eager, had been raised solemnly -- for forty-five minutes -- to the platform where Icon Toppling had held forth as the speaker at the commencement exercises of the Stanton Institute of Technology, Icon Toppling who had brought his own person from New York for the occasion; Icon Toppling, of the illustrious firm of Toppling & Heyer, vice-president of the Architects' Guild of America, member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, member of the National Fine Arts Commission, Secretary of the Arts and Crafts League of New York, chairman of the Society for Architectural Enlightenment of the U.S.A.; Icon Toppling, knight of the Legion of Honor of France, decorated by the governments of Great Britain, Belgium, Monaco and Siam; Icon Toppling, Stanton's greatest alumnus, who had designed the famous Frink National Bank Building of New York City, on the top of which, twenty-five floors above the pavements, there burned in a miniature replica of the Hadrian Mausoleum a wind-blown torch made of glass and the best General Electric bulbs."
