corporate refugee

It is said of someone that has been downsized, displaced or severed from a long time corporate career.
Most of the time this results in the loss of stability, identity, structure and community.

One morning during the summer of 2002 I was having coffee with a Director of HR. We were friends, so it was nothing out of the ordinary. Out of the blue he said to me, "We need to find you another job!" That was the beginning of the end of my decades long career with a large corporation and the beginning of a very painful journey as another corporate refugee.

The Refreshing Drink

The act of inserting a straw down the uretha of a penis while the recipitant pleasures himself, and just before releasing his liquid explosion, he places the opposite end of the straw into his mouth resulting in a tasty, protein fuelled refreshing drink.

John: "You' re looking really buff recently Terry."
Terry: Yeah, must be the refreshing drinks I've been taking."

divorce reform

Something that will never happen because there's no money in it.
It usually involves controversial ideas like bringing concepts of "innocent until proven guilty" and "equal treatment under the law regardless of gender" to family court. It also often involves controversial ideas like treating a marriage contract like any other contract where someone is free to exit the contract any time; but, if there isn't sufficient cause, the person exiting the contract must leave the other parties as unharmed as possible, and the person exiting without sufficient cause may face penalties for doing so.

I think it would be better if we had a system where, when one parent initiates a divorce, there is a rebuttable presumption (meaning a presumption that could be rebutted if wrong-doing can be proven) that any minor children remain with the other parent that didn't want the divorce. Scientific studies show divorce is usually very bad for kids, and this would probably greatly decrease unnecessary divorce.

Dude, you're talking about divorce reform. That will never happen.

Bush Like Reflexes

A play on "Cat Like Reflexes" but only when ducking out of the way when someone throws something at you. Based on the incident of when the Iraqi Reporter threw his shoes at Bush.

Chris threw a nerf dart at my face and I ducked out of the way at the last second and said:
Good thing I have "Bush Like Reflexes"
