If Brett Favre wants people to pronounce his last name as "Farve"... why wouldn't he just spell it like "Farve"?

Who still says his name frequently enough for this to be an issue?

I have this nagging feeling that there are lifeforms on one of more of the moons of Saturn and Jupiter.

I am watching some C-SPAN or whatever the fuck it is and the Facebook kid is testifying in front of Congress. I see that he got himself a nice tidy haircut for the occasion.

WHAT A GODDAMN DORK. The guy is worth like 60 billion dollars, and still dweeby enough to care what the grown-ups think of his appearance.

Then again, these Silicone Valley sick fucks are not making money for the normal reason, which is to ENJOY LIFE. No, these entrepreneurs aren't sacrificing their normal lives and identities to make money. They are not about ENJOYING LIFE. They are doing what they do for power, influence and because they have some sort of cockamamie messiah complex. Like they are going "leave their mark on humanity" or some such lunatic shit. As far as pathologies go, I consider this kind of entrepreneurial megalomania to be about as fucked up as any other mental sickness. But it's economically productive, and people worship wealth, so these maniacs are foisted up as some sort of ideal for people to aspire to.

Exactly. We have rationalized the behavior as "innovation" or "entrepreneurial spirit" but really it's just another form of crazy. This one provides jobs though, so it has that going for it I guess.
