No...it's a very effective money devouring machine that somehow makes all the wrong decisions.

Not what I meant, but yeah... You're right 
An ineffective, money devouring machine...
I think the comma does it.
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>

public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}

Well, you know, the decisions are always wrong for someone.
But usually for most people except for those cashing in.

Had I seen that before the voting I would've voted Wilders 
Away with the Euro parliament!

Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Vote right + elections = impossible
Choosing between bad and bad is still bad.
Anyway at least you didn't have to waste 8 hours sitting there in forced labor for (almost) no pay.
Pff never again, next time I'll just pay the freaking fine.

So you won a 'socially useful' job, like our former PM Silvio? Congratulations!

Don't know about that, the temptation to start laughing with people's names got bigger and bigger as the hours passed (damn there are some really weird names out there)
I did the math, normally what they payed me would be enough for 20min of work but since it's on a sunday and those are usually double pay ...

As some may know, I'm an addict. Addicted to hunt down rare music which isn't known to the broad public (and might never be).
I tried to get hold on a copy of Springsteen's Born in the USA Outtakes album (Unsatisfied Heart - Remastered Born In The U.S.A. Outtakes, as it was called exactly) - I figured that it isn't available on CD (no wonder, this thing was released in the early 80s), so no chance of getting hold on it. Now my last hope is the quest for a vynil piece of the album, so if anyone sees one on eBay (or their own vynil collection), drop me a message (please).
I guess I should stop thinking about it 
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Beware. This crafty fellow is even more intelligent and wise than his frequent posts here would lead you to believe. Apparently he's completely underestimated the threat I present to any visitors and actually exposed his beautiful and bright wife to my insidious influence; even worse, he allowed his young son to sit in my presence throughout our dinner. The young man was well protected from my evil aura, I think, as he expressed his extreme boredom several times, albeit most politely, and was not overwhelmed by my awesome presence. I think I may have converted him to a new, rather quaint religion while his parents were revisiting the buffet, but I won't know for sure until the next full moon and the usual parental sacrifices the Dark Lord requires of His young converts.
Dinner was excellent, with Prime Rib being featured on my plate, accompanied by the Tropicana's amazingly delicious horseradish, which compares favorably with thermite on the heat index. IMHO, the Tropicana Express (nee Ramada Express) has the finest buffet along the river this year. The casinos are always in flux in their respective dining experiences, so that can change anytime, but for the past several years, Tropicana has never failed to please. Unfortunately, tonight their poker machines fell short of expectations, much to my surprise. Most nights when I stop by, within an hour or two, I find 4 Aces on my screen for a handy payout that leaves me well ahead of the house. But tonight it wasn't to be. Alas, I dropped a bit, hit a lesser 4-of-a-kind, was up a bit, then fell again without ever seeing my faithful 4 Aces all night. Oh well... 
All in all, it was a delightful night, and I much enjoyed meeting our esteemed colleague and his delightful family. I look forward to doing so again one day!

Well, that's your own opinion and thus deserving no much credit.
