That's from season four. You can't really blame anyone for missing that.

 

[djerdap]

That sketch alone proves you wrong. Cleese's absence notwithstanding, it still had some golden moments. The ant episode immediately comes to mind.

Damn. Mrs. Vermin-Jones.

I can. Before the days of electricity, I taped every single episode on vhs, then hand-indexed them on notepaper. I should know my references.

The entire episode was hilarious.

Anybody have one of those U2girl's PMs that are being mentioned in the new album thread? My morbid curiosity is getting the best of me.

I got one once, and mine was basically an argumentative response to something I said in a thread. Why she couldn't have posted it in the thread is beyond me. Then when I tried to respond to tell her as much, I got the message that she doesn't/can't receive PMs.

Super annoying and ridiculous.

 

[martha]

Just a touch passive/aggressive as well.

She went after you too?

This has gone too far; there are probably like 20 people she's had problems with.

Ha! I got one of these once! Same thing. I told her to post what she sent in the thread if she wanted me to respond. Otherwise fuck off

 

[corianderstem]

I wouldn't even say she "went after me." I'd say she just did her U2Girl thing with me. My comment to her was slightly bitchy (shocking), and if she wanted to call me out on that (which her post barely did anyway - it just read like a regular response), fine, I deserved it.

But to do it via PM when I couldn't even respond is just obnoxious.

And i thought the u2 community were friendly and warm to each other...just like the GA line before a gig.I guess the internet world and the real world are 2 different planets

 

[LemonMelon]

I feel left out

 

[u2popmofo]

I'll send you a PM berating you for feeling left out.

Speaking of job applications, as we were a few days ago, I just got a resume from a woman who listed her child rearing years as "Domestic Engineer." Don't do that.

Jesus. That's from Roseanne Barr and the 80s.

 

[Danny Boy]

Out of curiosity, what is the recommended way of accounting for stay-at-home parent time on a resumé? Surely you would get asked why there is a 4 or 5 year gap in your employment history.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I don't know, really. In this case, the woman is clearly a professional woman with a long and impressive work history. I wouldn't have even noticed the gap except for the unfortunate description of that period which was 30 years ago and, frankly, I don't care what she was doing then anyway, but I'm hardly an expert interviewer or anything. Seems like something along the lines of "personal sabbatical" which can then be explained during the interview is good enough.

 

[Danny Boy]

I guess it would stand out a lot more if you were just trying to get back into the work force after an extended break.

[martha]

Wouldn't "raising children" be accurate and honest?

 

[Danny Boy]

Yeah, and I would be absolutely fine with seeing that on a résumé, not that I'm in a position to be hiring anyone.

I would bet some job seekers would worry about that being perceived as "not being serious about their career," but I guess it beats an unexplained gap in work history.

At first glance I read this as Nu Shooz.

Oh yessssss. I was hoping they'd release an EP or something before I see them again in September. Two tracks will be sufficient.

Send me a passive aggressive pm and you can enjoy similar treatment

I can. Before the days of electricity, I taped every single episode on vhs, then hand-indexed them on notepaper. I should know my references.

I only stopped using this system about 6 or 7 years ago

 

[martha]

This gets scary sometimes.
