Pet peeves

[monique1971]

Oh? Next time I'll thoroughly inspect the thread. Heaven forbid a peeve repeat.

Maybe the thread starter could add a peeve index with a very short description of what's already been discussed.

Good God, no. As if anyone would read it anyway!

Relax, Lurnk. Peeve repeats are fine and dandy; I just couldn't resist a little snark about this particular one since Ekserb regularly emits a rant of volcanic proportions over precisely this issue.

Who could?

At least it won Best Picture. And damn straight, too.

Fuckety fuck fuck fuck. I bought the wrong cereal.
(Damn you, Wild Oats, all your boxes look the same)

And I couldn't get the two-disc version of The Departed with the limited edition packaging.
I got the regular two-disc edition with the slipcase, but who really cares about that slipcase when there's visions of beautiful, perfect stockpiles of the super special one floating around out there?
I wanted the fun one.
Double fuck. Or would that be "fuck" to the power of five?

THANK YOU for bringing this up. Finally. I've been thinking about this particular peeve for months and never thought to post about it here. You're a giant among men.

Is your SHIFT key broken? There's another one on the other side of the keyboard. You could try that.

Oh Ekserb, where would we all be without your typing prowess? Lost in a sea of misspelled letters and poor grammar run amok, I suppose. Truly it is you who is the giant among men (and women).

Sorry, couldn't resist....*giggle* *snicker*

Only according to some women!

Cool. A little snarkin' just may have set a peeve index in motion.

It's winter. Why the hell am I smelling skunk outside?

You know, I like the smell of skunk, at least from afar.

I'll call you next time my dog meets up with one

From afar.

I can definitely do without the highly intrusive and pungent burnt-rubber gag-inducing aroma that permeates every pore and sinus passage before settling into each textile fiber on the premises that tends to occur when dog-meets-skunk.

Jesus. You never fail to disappoint. I defy anyone to point out another member capable of producing as many typos in as little space. I was going to highlight them all, but stopped for fear of running out of red pixels on my screen.

I'm still waiting on that email. You know, the one you promised to send. The one with the attached papers that you've written showcasing your glorious writing style and impeccable literacy. I've a feeling I'll be waiting for a very long time.

I always thought that was an urban myth. Or rural myth, really.

nope, plus anything with citrus acid works too.

You have any cures for ant infestations?

 

[ShinigamiSama]

You have any cures for ant infestations?

bleach and peanut butter?

anyways

I hate it when people say they're coming out
only to tell you at the last second that they're ditching out
then one of them changes their minds and shows up anyways
like wtf?
make up your minds

 

[bluebell]

You could wear ant motels on your ears...

You have any cures for ant infestations?

Those little gits are STILL there?!
One word, Lor: BOMB.

Confession: I've done that before (though not often).
The funny thing is, we who perpetrate said crime are just as frustrated about it as those who witness the indecision.
At least, I am.
Perhaps we figure that bestowing our sparkling presence is enough to make it up to everyone.

Yeah, though in their defense I haven't really been very aggressive in my attempts to rid my house of them. You know, I'm actually starting to become fond of the little guys. I'm thinking of them as a sort of roommate who quietly reminds me when it's time to do the dishes. By, you know, swarming the kitchen.

But I'll be calling the landlord tomorrow to ask him to come fix my gutter, which I discovered hanging by a screw from the back of my roof this evening. Perhaps I shall mention this ant problem to him as well.

my anteater does.....

ask weird harold on the how to thread...smartest man alive.

"College" athletics


Face it, we live in what Mencken accurately labeled a "Commonwealth of Morons." The so-called colleges and their completely corrupt athletic programs are an obscenity (THIS MEANS YOU Ohio State, Alabama, Miami, USC, Florida, Maryland, Penn State, Florida State, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, West Virginia, UCLA, Virginia Tech, Michigan, etc., etc., etc.) Where do kids first encounter wholesale corruption and hypocrisy? In the ACC, the Big Ten, the SEC, the Big East, and the PAC 10! That's where kids learn "it's all about money" and "everything is for sale." What's all this idiotic nonsense about honor and integrity? Everybody sees that promising football and basketball athletes are treated with kid gloves. What is this crap about a "red shirted" fifth year man? It is beyond belief that colleges recruit athletes and provide free rides for 'em. How, on earth, did this happen? Most of these stoneheads shouldn't even be in college. The NCAA, the NFL, and the NBA are unbelievably hypocritical rackets; the NFL and the NBA, of course, use the colleges as minor leagues where they don't have to compensate the "talent." It is a circus and a bonanza for the NCAA, the television networks, and the coaches. The whole thing is sick and makes me want to puke. Thank god I didn't go to one of those diploma mills; I'd be ashamed.

Why is it that little Johnny can't read? Little Johnny can't read because he spends all his time glued in front of the boob tube watching dim-bulbs play football, basketball, and baseball. Little Johnny can't read because he's been deluded into thinking that he is likely to make millions as a lunkhead professional athlete. Little Johnny can't spell or read or write a sentence in English because he's popping anabolic steroids. Little Johnny can't add, subtract, multiply, and divide because his daddy (a fat couch potato who also can't read) is projecting his vicarious dream of athletic fortune on Little Johnny rather than contemplate the sordid life he's stuck with.
