Ok, worst Christmas present this year...

I just don't like big data having access to 24/7 voice recordings to archive for all time.

At some point in the future it will be a slam dunk to prosecute no matter innocence, you will always have damning evidence.

Impeachment:
"You previously testified you didn't know anything about MesoTeraTetrhydronicyclonicBiNucleicAcid" and never heard of it? (Total bullshit, don't google it).
"Oh, so you conveniently forgot that you asked Alexia 25 years ago to this day about this exact type of poison?"

GUILTY


Darker days are coming down the road from the nanny state. I'd rather they not have a better memory of what I said than I do.

That is an interesting point... albeit a bit tin foily, but with the way things are going, this wouldn't surprise me. Good thing all we talk about in our kitchen is what's for dinner and that funny thing that happened on the way to the forum.

Then, there's this: Parrot Activates Alexa When Mimicking Owner, Places Online Order
Reminds me of this:

I'm finding applicability for limited mobility. I can't just roll over and stretch to reach the lamp on the bedside table at bedtime anymore. Certainly won't be able to do it after 2 more spinal surgeries in January. Being able to get the Echo Dot to do it with an "Alexa, turn off/on the bedroom light" is very handy.

[Bailey Guns]

That's easy to solve. Alexa can just be programmed to Mirandize you every time you use it.

And those jelly belly beans are awesome. I've tried several, including bike and vomit flavored, and they are spot on. Disgusting but funny.

This has already happened in a murder case. Amazon wouldn't provide the info if I can remember correctly. I'll do some googling.

Edit : Ginsue posted it already...

As for a sort of awesome, sort of horrid gift: "Bean Boozled" by Jelly Belly. Look in the holiday section at Kroger.



Holy. hell. This stuff is no joke. After christmas dinner, we all played Russian Roulette with candy. It will not become a family tradition. The one complete "game" is good enough for life. You expect it to be kinda-sorta bad. But no, they aced this stuff. Spoiled milk isn't like - a week past expiration. Spoiled milk is you just took a swig of something that's been sitting in the sun in summer for three days. It's probably the worst. Dead fish is waaaay up there too. At one point one got stuck on my tooth and I almost puked on the table trying to get it out.

What makes this awesome though, is get some, and slip a few beans into the existing jelly-bean bowl at work or what have you. Hilarity will ensue, just disavow any connection to it. Don't put this out all by itself, make sure people get used to taking fistfulls of "good" beans first.

The barf one is the WORST.

The thing with the jelly beans, is that more often than not, if you have someone eat one, and don't tell them what it's supposed to taste like, they think it tastes like something else, often times something good. Once they've chewed a few times, if you tell them what it is, then everything hits and it much more funny.

Politicians don't have to abide by anything they said.
But, everyone else does.

Back on Topic

There is something wrong with you guys eating a jelly bean you know is horrible tasting ahead of time.

I would say "Damn Kids" but ...

If you're unarmed, you are a victim

ETA: I will say, I could eat the toothpaste beans regularly. They aren't bad, like mint candy. If you use this prank, know that blue is always safe.

Taste tester for Jelly Belly has to be in the top ten worst job list.
