Re: The random thought thread

Alpo makes these small soft dog biscuits I get for my Chihuahua. I can't help but notice hoe much they smell like Slim Jims. I haven't tried them. I am curious as to how many ingredients are the same. Not sure if the results would make me feel better about the biscuits or worse about the Slim Jims.

If you want to try that, be very careful. A buddy of mine when I was probably in the Reserves gave me a piece of what turned out to be dog jerky, but it looked and smelled exactly like regular beef jerky. I took a big bite, and it tasted exactly like liver. I have hated liver flavored things ever since I can remember eating food. I spit out what was in my mouth and threw the rest of it on the roof of a nearby building.

The look and smell have to do with the spices and drying process. It most like was liver or other organ meat.

I've actually come up against a similar situation. I had a new employee associate in the Tech learning phase, who picked my brain for every thing I knew. I soon realise that my specialised information was getting back to the boss to elevate himself to a promotion an better salary. I personally didn't care for any promotion in the company, but I did learn the corporate ladder principle, and who's helping hands you tread on while climbing up the corporate ladder.

It come to a point were I didn't share anything of worth with him any more. After some time in the company he would ask me how to repair this or that machine. I looked at him one day and said "Is it smart to play dumb, or dumb to play smart?"...

Only after I left the company did the real truth become known about the new employees...
I got it years later from the old boss, along with a round about way of an apology from him as well...

To the corporate ladder climbers: -- go for it. You'll only make hardened corns on all those hands that you tread on with your climb to the top.

Ho Hum, there goes any chance of a pay rise this year, the MD just cooked the motor in his 645 BMW.
He thought the cloud of steam was a quite an amusing sight until I informed him he wouldn't get much change out of $10k for an engine rebuild.

My brother who is a mechanic once told me the temperature gauge is not a decoration.
It's a shame more people don't understand that. Including me when I toasted the engine on the Taurus wagon I was using for work. D'oh.
It's also a shame that expensive cars get wrecked in some pretty stupid ways. When I was in High School, my brother and I would frequent the local boneyards for parts for our cars, and at one of the places there was a late model (for the '70s at least) Jaguar out in the lot. It was in the boneyard apparently only because it had hit a pheasant, and the grill was somewhat broken. There might have been a crack in the windshield and some dents in the hood too, but I'm not sure. Other than that, it looked perfectly fine (at least to a couple of guys who were still in High School anyway).
