Plural of beef.
OK, now that we’ve got that question out of the way, we beging our mild-mannered blogging. It comes as no surprise that in my actual schooling at an actual school, I have been warned to not publish photos of myself being drunk or in otherwise embarassing situations on social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace because employers also have nothing better to do with their time and will look to see if I have been photographed with any attractive young women.
A cursory Googular search reveals that other news sources are also hip to the trend:
Fine. I won’t. But my real problem is this: nobody ever takes pictures of me when I am working hard. I work hard frequently. Sometimes even in fairly public places like libraries, parks and zoos. And yet there is always something going on around me that is more picturesque (particularly, it seems, at zoos).

I will soon be asking people to take photos of me when I am hard at work. Then I’ll make an album on Facebook called “SPRING BREAK” and write a bunch of captions that explain how hard I work while on Spring Break. The answer, potential employer, is very hard.
