About stareatgoats

"The Men who Stare at Goats" is a fun movie so I chose this nick, but it doesn't mean much. I should have chosen "NotSure" instead:

"Program: Please speak your name as it appears on your current federal identity card. Document number G24L8.

Joe: I'm not sure if—

Program: You have entered the name 'Not Sure'. Is this correct, Not Sure?

Joe: No, it's not correct.

Program: Thank you. 'Not' is correct. Is 'Sure' correct?

Joe: No it's not. My name is Joe—

Program: You've already confirmed your first name is 'Not'. Please confirm your last name 'Sure'.

Joe: My last name is not 'Sure'.

Program: Thank you, 'Not Sure'."

    You are obviously wrong, but that's not the issue here. One can't help wondering what prompted you to say such an unkind thing in the extreme about 1.2 billion monthly active users…
