good catch and all.... but their team name is the Carp? seriously?

The carp's kinda an important fish in Japanese culture. Quoth a random Internet page:
"In Japanese culture, the carp (or koi) represents courage and perseverance, as the fish is known for its strength and determination as it swims against the current upstream."

Alright well I guess they're only trying to refer to Koi, and those are cool and all... but go google image search "carp" and tell me you'd want that as your team name.

How is that better than Blue Jays, Marlins or even White Sox?

Yeah White Sox & Red Sox are weird, and being a small blue bird doesn't sound that exciting, but if you don't think a marlin is more badass than a carp you're crazy.

Crap! I was confused. I thought that "tarp" meant "carp".
As in, "Carp Surfing!!!!!!!!!" ...see? that would have been cool!

..maybe I was thinking of tarpon?

This really works. All you need is an annoying laugh and the right kind of fish.

Holy carp. You can explain most of 'em but what the hell was going on in the one around 3:10? Suicide attempt?

I think it's pretty stupid company policy to antagonize your own customers. But if that's how BoA chooses to handle their clients, then that's their decision. This gal makes no bones about it. She admits she was violating company rules, disobeying the orders of her superiors, and disregarding the terms of her employment. She got fired for it. Duh.

She's not the CEO of Bank of America. She isn't the branch manager. She isn't the department manager. She's not even the 'senior customer service representative'. She's an entry level clerk with 5 months on the job. The right thing would have been to quit the job herself the second she found out how BoA runs its shop and give them a bellyfull in the exit interview.

It is pretty much a national pasttime for entry level employees to carp about the company they work for as if they were the CEO and know how to run things. And I've never met a single person in my entire life who was fired from a job but who couldn't spin a moving, heartbreaking yarn about how evil and unfair the company was for doing it.

I'm guessing it was a carp. I've seen them while fishing the Shenandoah in Virginia, and they just kind of laze around, really slowly, and don't seem to care much about who's around. It might have also been sick and/or dying.

I don't think this was fake at all.

Memento mori.

Carpe deum. Seize the GOD, boys. Make your lives REALLY extraordinary.

Carpe siftem!

can we get a health channel in 4.0? i mean, we have a 'grindhouse' channel, but no health channel.. kinda weird
