6. I did a lot of design work for a Burmese civil rights organization

Sadly, I had to leave the logos behind when I left my last job.* But it's kind of weird thinking how one's work can reach around the globe. Somewhere in Myanmar/Burma, people are using my artwork to help promote freedom. It's kind of cool.

*hmmmm.

That seems to suggest Atman was abruptly fired from his last job, not allowed to return to his desk to get his belongings before being kicked out of the building.

<<<wonders.

Rob has no artistic talent - a conclusion the hacks at Mission Control also reached.

His cartoons are undecipherable.

The only thing his "art" might accomplish is to cause arguments over whether it's upside down.

His "art" is as pleasing to the eye as that horrendous baggy wedding suit.

I was stopped by Customs on a trip from Myanmar to LAX.

The Customs agents took me into a little room and accused me of trying to smuggle a Burmese python into the country.

After I proved that it was just an American kingsnake, they let me go.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

This reminds me of the first rule of DUmmieland.  DUmmies LIE, they always lie!

I'm still intensely curious as to why Atman wasn't allowed to take his personal stuff with him when he left that place of employment.

That seems so.....odd.

Not if the reason he left was a criminal offense . . .

Well now, I wouldn't allege Atman to be of a felonious nature.

I'm guessing, in a vague way, it has something to do with his short fuse.

They couldn't allow him to take all his sketches with him.

They would have had to disassemble the toilet stalls.

If it precipitated an assault . . . it wouldn't have to be a 'felonious assault.'
