Unqualified Advice #3



If you’re the best there is at your job but you’re being forced to interview for the job you already do, do you shave your beard and cut your hair, or do you say “Screw it. I’m the best. They can take me or leave me regardless of my hippie hair and Grizzly Adams beard,”? –Dani

Have you looked at me? I should get “Screw it. I’m the best.” tattooed on my chest As I kind of look like a better version of Juice Newton.  I am a big fan of rewarding what works and what doesn’t. Let your actions speak for you.  My advice, let your freak flag fly, and save the new look for a new employer. Unless you love what you are doing, then CONFORM! everyone is doing it.



Two questions: Will the Vikings ever win a Super Bowl? What's worse. Being a Vikings fan or an ISU football fan? –Thad
Ever, like ever ever? Or my life time ever?  Doesn’t matter since they are my team the answer is “no”. But I will still go to games, and I will still buy the jerseys. Which feeds nicely into my next answer… The Vikings seem to just break my heart, where as the clones surprise me once in a while. You have to go to bars before Vikings Games, there is glorious tailgating and ours is a stone’s throw from the front gate at Jack Trice. Weighing everything carefully, being a fan of the Cubs is the worst. Now that I say that, maybe being a fan of the school that gets beat by the terrible in state rival is worse....but what do I know?  My advice is to cheer for a front runner like Alabama in football.

If a tiger eats a vegetarian then throws up, does it still have to count it a daily caloric intake for Wright Watchers?  -Eric
Yes, and then no.  Bu the really good news is that at no point will the tiger need to claim any carbs or gluten.  My Advice, the tiger should eat more and smaller meals, this will help to cut down on the regurgitation.


 Have you watched the Nightly Show? If yes, what do you think? –Dani

Yes.  If I say "not a fan" does that make me a racist?  Because I am not  a fan, the lines are poorly delivered. The jokes are already stale. And the premise is better on Maher’s show. My advice, Watch the daily show and then go to be 30 minutes earlier than normal, your body and mind will thank me.


Where has been your favorite place to travel/vacation to? – Matt

Let's Go. Right now!
Our favorite place to visit, GREAT staff and some of the best resort food we have had
Very similar to the Valentin, only this one was just named to a top 10 list and has made it VERY expensive, Secrets Silversands is a more affordable option in the same family or resorts.
 What is not to love?!?! you could live there your whole life and not see everything.
 Great ski community that we would love to visit in the summer to see what different seasons look like.
quick get aways:
Football, Baseball, Basketball, food, malls, art....
 Food, art, zoo, shopping
Football, Baseball, food, malls, art....
Chicago
Football, Baseball, Basketball, food, malls, art....
On the list to try still:
 it looks cool
I like wine



How evil is PopMarket? And how glad am I that I didn't know it existed in college (because then I would be super-poor). – Mike
First, my advice get a second job. I need to now.  And how evil? This evil(help me):
Genesis - Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot and Selling England By the Pound

Joni Mitchell - Blue and Ladies of the Canyon

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy

Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction

Megadeth -Youthanasia

Megadeth - So Far, So Good... So What!

Megadeth - Rust In Peace

Megadeth - Peace Sells...but Who's Buying?

  1. I think being a fan of the Washington Generals is probably the worst, from wikipedia:

    From 1953 until 1995, the Generals played exhibitions against the Globetrotters, winning only six games, the last in 1971, and losing more than 13,000.

    I only have Iron Maiden bundle 1, from PopMarket (and that was a gift)...but I am SO tempted every email that I get (twice a day). I do have a second job...so maybe a third?

    1. I agree they don't win, but that is the WWE of the sports world ;)

      there have been a few I have got, obviously most I have passed on. I feel bad for the mail man since it doesn't fit in the mailbox he has to come all the way up to the front door, but that is why he gets the big bucks I suppose.
