**Passive-Aggressive

Formerly associated with a particular psychological disorder stemming from years of percieved underappreciation and bitterness. A character flaw brought on by a person’s inability to deal with their own bitterness, anger, or resentment in an assertive manner, thus, becoming a more passive form of hostility. See: petty, little bitch, worthless turd

This entry in urbandictionary is passive-aggressive because it was brought on by a coworker’s passive-aggressive action against myself, and thus, is my form of counter attack. It is unlikely that the passive-aggressive asshat will see this, rendering such an action unassertive on my part, but it is highly probable that this will be seen by some more trustworthy coworkers and they will immediately empathize and agree that my definition (including the synonyms: little bitch and worthless turd) fully apply.

Fear The ‘Reaper’

From CNN, “Brain effects of ‘hottest pepper in the world’ put man in hospital“.

What happened to a contestant in a hot-pepper-eating contest may give spicy food aficionados one more reason to “fear the reaper,” according to a recent case report.

The 34-year-old man, who was not identified, experienced a series of intense headaches and dry heaving after eating a Carolina Reaper, reportedly the hottest pepper in the world, during the contest in New York.

The man developed excruciating pain in his head and neck, prompting him to go to an emergency room, according to an article published Monday in the journal BMJ Case Reports. “The patient ate the pepper and immediately starting having a severe headache that started in the back of the head and spread all over within two seconds,” said Dr. Kulothungan

Making An Aluminum Foil Knife??

If you thought polishing Aluminum Foil Balls was a weird way for the Japanese to avoid having children, then try having an Aluminum Foil Knife fight….or, rather try making an Aluminum Foil Knife. Watch him tap, tap, tap. And polish, polish, polish, but he’s not, however, “getting the old porpoise polished“, is he?

WAT?? Polishing Aluminum Foil Balls??

No wonder the once mighty Japanese Empire is in decline.   The Atlantic writes, “The Mystery of Why Japanese People Are Having So Few Babies“.

Japan’s population is shrinking. For the first time since the government started keeping track more than a century ago, there were fewer than 1 million births last year, as the country’s population fell by more than 300,000 people. The blame has long been put on Japan’s young people, who are accused of not having enough sex, and on women, who, the narrative goes, put their careers before thoughts of getting married and having a family.

Or it could be that the young men are spending so much time doing things like, well… pounding aluminum foil into a ball and polishing it. Hmmm?

Watch him tap, tap, tap. And polish, polish, polish. Besides the fact that this whole foil ball thing is tedious, everyone knows that the only thing aluminium foil should be used for (outside of turkey cooking, etc) is for making “Aluminium Foil Hats“. That’s a conspiracy I could get behind.
