Why do people do what they do? I look around at the behaviour on the planet and it seems to me that `why' is kind of irrelevant. There's just no good explanation for a lot of the behaviour we're seeing. Our motivations are often mysterious even to ourselves." - Steven Soderbergh, film director.

Twice. In a nutshell: The oldest of five brings his fiance Meredith home for the holidays to meet the family. And like a shower of sparks in a densely packed fireworks factory, with magnesium walls and a floor soaked with jet fuel, things go from bad to catastrophic with masterful precision. Scene after scene after scene, like a train wreck following a dozen airplane crashes after a freak earthquake followed by the bloody-fucking-apocalypse--slight exaggeration--one thing after another...it's beyond dysfunctional, it's a scream. Somebody nominate writer/director Thomas Bezucha for a Noble Prize. This is far beyond the realm of mortals and the academy of motion something or another. Up until the moment that Meredith hands out gifts to each member of the Stone family on Christmas morning, you can't help but leave your damned jaw on the floor and wonder what in the name of sweet baby jebus could possibly else go the fuck wrong?

They got a lot of feedback from you worthless lot of heathens and failed to name me. Drunken indecision lead to more procrastination and here I am, stuck in hell.. this fuzzy little bastard needs a name still. Here it is cretins, the final vote. Three names are finalists for me, and you get to decide. By 'you', i mean the faithful mail list subscribers. This message is not being posted to the news, not being "tweeted" and not being screamed before post-coital activity with a hooker and cocaine. Instead, it's a private message, all alone like I will be tonight, left to jack off and enjoy some pcp. [...] (go to the page to see the finalists already!)

Message-ID: http://attrition.org/news/content/09-11-23.001.html Almost a month ago, those slack ass bastards that call themselves attrition staff figured I need a name. They got a lot of feedback from you worthless lot of heathens and failed to name me. Drunken indecision led to more procrastination and there I was, stuck in hell, still needing a name. Well, now I have one. Finally... FINALLY, they put their drinks down, put away the blow, and stuffed the hookers into the trunks of their cars so I don't feel like a major unnamed DOUCHEBAG with no identity of my own and no real reason to exist (like Lyger). I have a name, thanks to you people who actually care about me, and not those staff jerks who sat on this (*COUGH* among other things *COUGH*) for a few weeks.

Message-ID: Happy Holidays - Welcome to Staff Postal http://attrition.org/postal/p0019.html For only the fifth time ever, the staff and volunteers at attrition.org reveal our "uber-intellect" and "inner workings" to you, our faithful readers. We sometimes discuss information security, world politics, and things that "really matter". Most of the time, we talk about ass sex, Mexican food, and various ways to screw with the assclowns who pollute the security industry with their "dee-dee-dee". Before we proceed, a few words of holiday cheer from us.
