What happend today that makes you wanna punch the daylights out of something?

Or just tell us about those everyday buggerups that really roots yer boot (pet hates).

A guy wants tech support NOW, because his laptop is malfunctioning. I can hear him typing stuff as I ask him details about what is wrong. He doesn't remember what the error messages said. He's increasingly abrupt with me, and while (theoretically) following my directions, there's a lot more typing than my directions warrant. He goes off and tries different stuff while I'm still talking to him.

For the love of all that is lovable, if you call me and demand my help, at least have the courtesy to actually follow my instructions and don't act annoyed that I'm asking questions about what is wrong instead of just charging in and changing things. :mad:

A gay guy felt my stomach in the restroom today.....err...a bunch of guys in my school crossdressed and worse short skirts and I was forced to see the horrible sight of their hariy legs.
I have'nt gotten drunk for a month.....
I have too much work in school and a lot of **** to wade through....

I've had quite a nice day so far, actually :)

Random rant #1: When will it be ok to stop pretending Sarah Jessica Parker and Venus Williams are good looking? Williams looks like an ugly guy in drag, and Parker literally looks like a witch.

I went on a few dates with a girl that I really started to like, and then she informs me that she's had a boyfriend for 4 years, but they were on a break. Now they are back together. And she's a student of mine no less. So I presume if I fail her on any of her quizzes she will attempt to blackmail me.

Fark...

Are you allowed to date students?

The kid in the dorm next door won't stop practicing his guitar (and his vocals to). If after all that practice you still sound like absolute crap you should give it a rest!

Parker has a horse face... and a gay husband to boot. I thinking Venus is either a man or trained with the China swim team.

My complaint for today; crazy lady next to me at work won't stop talking to herself.

Are you allowed to date students?

As long as I don't doink any before the semester ends I don't see a problem.

Are you allowed to date students?It's not like it would be wierd or anything, Newfangle is a grad student, there's only a few years difference between him and his students. ;)

Ah I thought he was an old foegy(sp?) thats what automatically comes to mind when I think of teachers....

I woke up at 530am and couldn't get back to sleep... until right before the alarm went off.

As long as I don't doink any before the semester ends I don't see a problem.I certainly hope you see the problem now. ;)

Teacher/student relationships, while not necessarily morally wrong or anything, are almost always a bad idea. A relationship where one partner has power over the other is always going to fail the smell test, even when there's no reason it should. And when such relationships go bad...trouble.

In the future, if you like any of your students, get their number, and call them up the day after they leave your class. To do otherwise is begging fate to bring the hammer down on you.

A girl I fancied called me fat :( . Im not fat, im bigboned.

Ah I thought he was an old foegy(sp?)No he's a Newfangle ;)

I sent out a paper for publication and the only reviewer's complain was that I have to include a reference to a japanase patent. Now I have to find the patent and somebody who can read it and translate it for me :(

I present to you a rant from my blog (and I hold the intellectual copyright of the term "SportsNazi"

Social Darwinism
I am now convinced that Social Darwinism has been brought back, that evil, rooting out of the inferior kind, to lead the "superior" humans, weeded out from the weak, into the future.
This evil is called "team sports".

Team sports is not a necessity, yet some people will continuously promote the widespread, even forced participation into such activities.
You know who you are, and I dub thee "sportNazis".

The only reason I can see for team sports is to:

a) Isolate those not interested in sports.
"Any deviation from the conventional thinking will not go unpunished, Ja?"

b)To promote the fitness and "healthy" mind ethic of the SportNazis, through the process of selection.
"UnterStumFuhrer Beckham, you and your fine, muscular legs have been selected to play for the team."

c)To weed out the "inferior" humans through this process of selection.
"Ja, herr Smith, for you, ze war is over!"

d)And finally, to eliminate these "inferior" beings through forced labour.
"Ah, Smith, not doing to well, Ja? Vell, two hundred laps of der field SCHNELL!"

This is a purely criminal thing that is being allowed to happen, in our own country!
It is the ostracisation, humiliation, and finally, the destruction of that clas of people, and it must be stopped, and we must all unite against the SportNazis, and their Blitzkrieg of sports.

A girl I fancied called me fat :( . Im not fat, im bigboned.
:lol: No offence, but your avatar make that comment particularly funny. I can immagine Homer saying that.

You're crazy noncon. :lol: :hatsoff:

Someone stole my water today, but said "It's only water".

1) I payed good money for that bottle (not a disposable one).

(Although I got it back, it was damaged :mad: ).

2) That's all I have to drink.

3) I got lacerated on some glass later (on my leg), because I complained he took my water :rolleyes:.

My blog is an MSN myspace, so private (lots of personal details)
This is the only real other rant I'm proud of:

Upon the Drinking Age
This is getting on my proverbial nerves. And I have nerves of steel. Strong steel too, like the 0.5% carbon steel, not the crappy 5% carbon steel that snaps.
Anyway, enough of this nerdish banter.
The person who thought up of having a drinking age of 18 in this, the United Kindom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, bastion of libberty, second only to American (unless you're not white) is a genius worthy of winning the Nobel Prize for beating Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in under two hours....oh, wait, there isn't one.

Okay, let's get this straight....I can legally get addicted to Nicotine, arguably the most deadly drug on earth, (I say arguably, because there is a small contigent of people out there who seem to insist that snorting chalk is a drug....you know who you are), legally have had sex for two years (wait, I can star in a porno, but I can't buy it? What do I give you all for Xmas?), yet I can't walk into my local Red Lion, stride proudly up to the bar, slap down my fresh, new, stiff £5 note, with Her Majesty's countenace upon it, and say, out loud, for all to hear, "I will have a pint of your best stout, Publican, for I am English, and as an Englishman, I can enjoy the benefites, of beiong an Englishman in England!".

Instead, this fine Labour government (though it's harly their fault, so I'm blaming Thatcher) insists on forcing us to wait until we are 18, in theory.
What is the logic of this?
At 18, you magically become physically, mentally, and emotionally mature enough to be able to drink alcohol?
I find this rather strange, as someone of my physique ("Rugby player") should have been able to drink five years ago.
As for mentally mature, there are people who I wouldn't trust with alcohol, if they were sitting in an armchair, with their wife, puffing away on an old pipe, while listening to some Ragtime Vinyls.
Emotionally mature? We3ll, I've seen enough emotionally mature adults to make a grown man cry.

Insisting that people should wait until 18 is basically what separates us from Continetal Europe, where they have a certain amount of trust with their teens.
That's why, as soon as they hist 18 here, they're drinking themselves into the gutter.
They think they can do it, because thye hit an arbitrary barier, giving them the right, without having time to aqquaint themselves, or consider it.
Why-oh-why is this limit even here?
Making a barman check my age credentials isn't gonna stop me drinking...I have parents and friends who would be all too happy to purchase alcohol for me. Even msot strangers would! You ain't stopping my blood alcohol level rising at all, thank goodness.

Now, if you excuse me, I need to get some heroin. It's a damn sight easier to buy that than alcohol around here.

Go on, get it off your chest.
People talk to me.

Undergraduates science students CAN'T WRITE ESSAYS!!! It's like they chewed up a perfectly good essay on thier topic and spit it up again on another peice of paper. Then I have to spend twice as long correcting them writing insightful comments like : "THIS SENTENCE MAKES NO SENSE" and "THIS IS THE THIRD TIME YOU HAVE REPEATED THIS PHRASE".

ugh

People talk to me.*sigh* Bozo, we've been over this. Those voices you hear? The ones telling you that the Mexican mafia is tunneling into your apartment from the basement, even though you live on the 3rd floor? They aren't people.

My political views, including my opinion on Thatcher:

Okay, I thought I'd put my political views down in concrete, so you can all know what kind of nutter you're talking to, and you can point and laugh.

Economic:
-The state should be socialist. 'Nuff said.
-An economic saferty net (i.e unemployment benefits and social security) should be provided by the state to all people.
Except the ones the state is actively trying to destroy.
-Rich bastard should be made poor and made to live in squalid property.
-Margaret Thatcher should be strung up from a lampost, for all to see, and an annual pilgrimage shall be held to stone the carcass.

Social:
-Legalise all drugs. The state should distribute.
Why? More access for addicts, and it cuts off the oxygen of cash to the mafia and dealers.
Fun!
-Legalise more or less everything. The state has no right in people's bedrooms. From a scientific point of view (and science is today's fuhrer), all types of consentual sex etc. are not bad.
-Get rid of the damn Church of England. How do you think the infidels feel?

Military:
-Last resource in times of crises.
-Stop using it for fegging economic gain, you hypocritical tossers.
-Have a suicide battalion comprising of chavs whisked off the streets of Newcastle.

Other:
-Don't give Northern Ireland back. At least not until the IRA stops being gits, and the north and south want to reunify, which they don't.
-Belgium should immediately be split into Flanders and Wallonia, and have the two parts handed to Holland and France respectively. Belgium is not a real country.
-Holland should be annexed by France. It is not a real country.
-The USSR should reform under the leadership of George Galloway.
-I fall over a lot.

School kids with HUGE backpacks .What do they have in there? They’re only at school for a few hours. You can’t get by them in the bus and when they sit down the damn pack whacks you in the arm or the head! My backpack was about the same size and I had a tent in it for camping for three months! Okay, rant over, go about your business.

I wonder how fast hamburger must be going before it reaches "terminal velocity" (Terminal to the target, not terminal to the acceleration)?

Wanna find out? Tie a string to a piece of hamburger and stick it out the window while driving. When the hamburger is at a 45 deg angle, the speed of the car minus headwind or plus tailwind is approximately the objects terminal velocity.

I can do science, me.

Poor kids...

I guess that everything in their backpack can fit in my laptop.

Atlanta radio sucks.

My collegue who is a devout muslim washed himself and then put on some sweet smelling perfume (excessively I might add) IN OUR OFFICE before praying to Allah.

:lol: :rotfl: Hilarious

An old rant in an old email about my first-year flatmates and various fellow students:
Christ. Just spent 4 hours cleaning kitchen and hallway. How can they stand to live in such squalor and filth? Do they just not care, or not even notice when there’s about ½ a bucketful of mess on the floor and it’s too dirty to see the pattern, and all the counters are covered in mess and dirt, bits of food, splatters, wrappers etc, and every single thing that’s out is filthy? Teabags, banana skins, bread crusts, onion skin, butter, biscuits, tomato sauce, potato peel, oil splatters, eggshell, a fish finger, plastic bags; packets of this, that and the other; more than a handful of miscellaneous crumbs, a bag of dead salad, apple cores, yoghurt pots, foil thing cases, ketchup, rice, pasta, grated cheese, splashes of milk and juice, cornflakes, all the nuts and bits of dried fruit that Manzil picks out of her muesli, a few spoons and knives (no forks for once) etc – and that’s just from sweeping the floor and tidying the counters and table, before I even get started on actually cleaning anything or washing up. A whole bin-bag full. They are DISGUSTING! And simultaneously neurotic about GERMS. I rescued a slightly blackened saucepan from the rubbish left by the opposite flat, and Manzil was having hysterics about “oh, why did they throw it away then? Someone might have DONE something in it. They wouldn’t throw it away unless it was like really horrible, no-one would just chuck stuff out just because they didn’t feel like cleaning it.” She got so worked up I put some of her disinfectant in it to pacify her (she then drained her leeks into it, so helpful) and filled it with boiling water. She uses antibacterial washing-up liquid (on the rare occasions she actually uses it), and has three things of bleach and other scary cleaners, not that she ever actually uses them. I honestly believe that I’m the only one who cleans regularly or thoroughly.
And how can those ****wits outside make so much noise just by rollerblading? Shouting about how different bits of the road make them go faster as well as the wheel-on-road noise thing. Heh heh, one of them fell over rather thoroughly, trying to do something show-offish just because a couple of tarted-up girls walked past. Honestly, the more I see of people acting like this, a) the less I feel inclined to go out and get pissed, b) the more I feel like going to live in Germany where there are more rules about socially acceptable behaviour, and rights and responsibilities of people in blocks of flats etc. When I’m out with Emma, I can have fun, get giggly etc on a glass of Sangria, but I don’t come back yelling and puking and disturbing everyone else for hours. What is the point? You go out, spend money on booze, vomit, go home and black out, then don’t remember anything AND have a hangover the following morning. Very expensive and wasteful.
And they NEVER bought or replaced loopaper or lightbulbs...
I expect the autocensor will mangle this a bit... god I was so [pissed] :gripe: !

I going to start 2006 unemployed and without money ( well, duh uh )

The question is, how do you know what a bordello smells like?

Another old rant...
I’m very pissed off at most of my flatmates. The first week Manzil was here, she carelessly binned one of my spoons. Since then, everyone has made themselves quite free with my stuff, and the breadboard is broken in three, the plastic sieve has been melted (I’d left it with pak choi in it in a saucepan with a lid on, on the hob: I found someone had pinched the pan, used it and left it dirty, put my sieve on top of the grill and then used the grill so that the sieve melted – and either not noticed or not confessed), another of my spoons has vanished, one of my knives has been broken, the wooden board has warped because they keep blocking the sink with food and leaving taps on when I leave it there, one of the plates has cracked quite spectacularly (but not yet broken), the plastic board has been indelibly stained, a spatula is chipped and a wooden spoon is singed, and they keep just taking my clean stuff out of my cupboard, using it, and leaving it out dirty. Even when they wash it, none of them believe in rinsing and none of them can wash properly, so the things are still dirty and greasy. Someone keeps leaving ripped-open half-used packets of potato waffles out, and half-eaten ones around too, including on the washing-up rack, on my board, and on the floor. Half-used tins of baked beans are not exactly a rarity either. I’ve defrosted the freezer twice this term and both times within a day someone has left the door wide open. Oh, and they keep leaving the gas on too (lit if you’re lucky, just on it you’re not), and setting the smoke alarm off, and leaving the grill full of burnt fat and the oven the same, except that that stuff also chars because, guess what, none of them brought a roasting tin or anything, so they all just balance their stuff – including burgers, meat including mince to defrost it, KFC, chips, waffles etc – straight on the oven grid, and never retrieve the fallen things from the floor of the oven, let alone clean the oven or oven racks. I’ve asked Mona to use my metal oven plate thing, so it hasn’t been quite as awful recently.

At least one of them hasn’t realised you have to use the shower curtain so as not to flood the bathroom, someone keeps leaving blobs of black makeup in the sink, all four of them leave black hairs all over the bathroom and completely blocking the bath plug-hole, the bathmat is usually in a crumpled sodden heap, they never open the bathroom window to let the steam out after showering, I’m lucky to find the towel not on the floor let alone clean and folded on the rail, and no-one ever seems to do any tidying or emptying of bins.

Most weeks I do a wash of the kitchen, bathroom and loo towels, bathmat, drying-up cloths etc (and I pay for the powder, and £2.10 for washing and drying); I tidy and hoover the hall (which despite being less than twenty foot long can take 20 minutes as they leave so much crap in it); clean the loo and sinks, tidy the kitchen counters, oven, grill, hob and floor and then wash them, and do loads of their washing up because it disgusts me. It’s always me who empties the bins and takes the rubbish away and puts in a new bag, always me who replaces light bulbs, always me who does evicting various insects (the others except Emma are too cowardly), and always me who turns the smoke alarm off (the others are too afraid of the noise to get close enough to turn it off). I know you think it’s really wet of me, Mummy, but I’d rather spend the time cleaning than have to live in their squalor. I’ve decided to do an experiment: since the start of the exams, I have been only clearing up after myself: I am not tidying or cleaning the public areas any more than I need to so that I can use them – just pushing their mess out of the way or working round it. It’s been more than three weeks and no-one has done any tidying or cleaning at all (but Emma swept the kitchen floor yesterday), and the lightbulb in the loo went five days ago now. I’m just not going to do anything until at least Wednesday next week, when my exams are FINISHED. I bet they haven’t noticed, that they won’t notice when I do a blitz and clean it all afterwards, and I would be astonished if they did anything. The only act of cleaning or providing I have ever noticed (apart from by Emma) is that someone has, within the last week, cleaned the bathroom mirror – and at the start of the year they all bought bleach and disinfectant and washing up-liquids which they never use, though when they do actually wash their things (instead of just draining the liquids into the bin, putting the solids into the sink – note which way round they do it – and then rinsing them under the tap), they usually use my washing-up liquid. Emma has bought loopaper three times, too. I brought the draining rack, the cutlery racks, the three public towels, the bathmat, the oven cloth, the sponges, two of the four drying-up cloths, the gas lighter, the boards that all of them use without asking or cleaning afterwards, and the washing-up bowl that they all nick when they think they might be sick or want to soak something (except Cherry uses the bathroom sink for soaking, overnight and usually a whole day, too – and Manzil who was once sick in the sink on Thursday, went straight home for the weekend, and on the Tuesday, I got fed up enough to clean the lumps out myself), and bought most of the cleaning stuff, sponges, always the loopaper and lightbulbs. I really hope that wherever I live next year is better.

Can you be intermediately dead?

I was wondering that too... :hmm:




Like that bit in Monty Python - "I'm not dead yet!"

I can't believe you hadn't heard of that before, Perfection (it is a good way of putting it though). Regarding the 'important' terminal velocity: the 'hamburger' we're speaking of is BE, right? If he's stapled to the third floor ceiling, and IglooDude's boss is on the second floor, we've already got a decent 20' drop, provided the boss is too distracted to notice BE falling. Assuming the drop is vertically coordinated, that might do the trick already, and besides, it's not like ID to not have a sidearm with just in case anyway.

So now I suppose you'll just need a scantily-clad prostitute to distract the boss, and a giant electromagnet capable of removing what are presumably carpet staples from a distance of about twenty feet. So we just need to determine what size electromagnet can counteract a carpet staple's fastening strength in a sheetrock ceiling from twenty feet away, and ID can finally achieve his destiny and install himself as a new Mexican mafia kingpin, ruling his territory remotely from BE's hole-in-the-floor apartment.

I was wondering that too... :hmm:




Like that bit in Monty Python - "I'm not dead yet!"


That reminds me of some verses:

My parents thought that I changed a word in a spread sheet to F**K, cause that is just something that is real funny and rebelious. Turns out that the spellcheck dosn't like the word Zuke. They didn't even apologize for not believing that I didnt do it after I told them it for 25 minutes while I was being interogated.

Actually I think it is MSworks. It was probably added to the dictionary at some time.Hmm, I'm not sure about works. In office though (and I'd assume works would be the same), the swear words are already in the dictionary, they just don't display in autocorrects or spell checks. So if you were to put "fuc" in word, the f-bomb won't appear in the list of possible corrections. If you were to type the f-bomb it would still register as a word and would be passed by he checker.

I'm so freaking TIRED. (Since school is so boring, I'm taking two university courses on the side.) I've consistently overslept the last week.

One of the junior saxophonists at my band practice is an absolute moron. He will oppose anything I say, and thinks that LOTR sucks because it's in English and his English is poor. I haven't seen an original thought from him yet, either.

My teacher gave me a C+ on my last essay, and when I ask what I should improve or do differently to get a better grade, she has no idea. So I tell here quite pointedly that if she can't think of any way in which it coud be better, I deserve a B. Her reply? "No, this isn't maths, where there are right and wrong answers. This is Norwegian." But she still refuses to tell me how to get a better grade.

Also, my last mandatory assignment for the programming course I'm taking was apparently corrected by some dude who wasn't in contact with my teacher, because he doesn't like object-orientation and thinks that my code is obfuscated. IT'S NOT OBFUSCATION WHEN I PUT A METHOD IN THE OBJECT, MORON!!

Full-day tests at my school begin tomorrow. They continue irregularly (I skip days where there are tests for subjects I'm not taking) until the 2nd Dec. I have my final programming exam at the university that day.

When I finally get to the holidays, I'm going to have to spend them installing a decent Java development environment. And Linux. And then get used to both of them.


...
Bah, I can't feel any rage. I suppose I have a good life after all. :)

I have an overwhelming urge to blow up my school. Its full of bloody gays. I can't stand this.....

Thats not all. My art teacher thinks I'm a sex pervert. My science teacher thinks I'm a Nazi radical, my English teacher also thinks I'm a Nazi, my human studies teacher thinks I'm a Commounist, my Spanish teacher thinks I'm a terroist....a bunch of my classmates think I'm insane, another bunch thinks
I'm a sex pervert, while others think I'm a Nazi, or Commounist or gay....
Oh also a few people think I'm a stoner, a drunk and a nerd....
How the hell did I get this reputation?

We think you're all of those things except a Communist. :p

Maybe you're taking hits from the brutal law of cause and effect?

Maybe you're taking hits from the brutal law of cause and effect?

I don't see how people could see me as a Nazi, Terroist, Commounist, Nerd, Pervert, Gay, Insane, at the same time....it just does'nt seem possible....but various people do see me as such....how screwed up

I can't believe you hadn't heard of that before, Perfection (it is a good way of putting it though). Regarding the 'important' terminal velocity: the 'hamburger' we're speaking of is BE, right? If he's stapled to the third floor ceiling, and IglooDude's boss is on the second floor, we've already got a decent 20' drop, provided the boss is too distracted to notice BE falling. Assuming the drop is vertically coordinated, that might do the trick already, and besides, it's not like ID to not have a sidearm with just in case anyway.

So now I suppose you'll just need a scantily-clad prostitute to distract the boss, and a giant electromagnet capable of removing what are presumably carpet staples from a distance of about twenty feet. So we just need to determine what size electromagnet can counteract a carpet staple's fastening strength in a sheetrock ceiling from twenty feet away, and ID can finally achieve his destiny and install himself as a new Mexican mafia kingpin, ruling his territory remotely from BE's hole-in-the-floor apartment.


Now THAT is finding practical applications for science!!! :goodjob: :clap:

And today's rant:
It's a merge. Don't be afraid. There's a full car length of room on either side, just work up your courage (and your speed) and get in there. No, don't wait... AAAARRRRGGGHHH, why wait until the end, then duck in front of me and make me slow way down? You fool!!

Here are my rants:

1. Turkey sucks. It is bland, has no taste, and feels like sandpaper. It is so dry, and tough. Newsflash: If you have to put gravy on your turkey, does that tell you anything about the crappy piece of meat under that tasty gravy? I simply eat plain gravy, cause it actually has taste to it. No need for us to mimick a bunch of pilgrimish kind of guys who "supposedly" ate turkey. It was the only thing they could probably hunt/catch. We have greater meat options nowdays. You are a moron if you choose Turkey for Thanksgiving.

2. Ok, for all you American Football fans out there. Football sucks. Anytime you get more than 10 rest breaks in a game, you know you aren't playing a real sport. It is BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody cares that you are 360 pounds, will probably die at the age of 60 beacause of being overweight, and can tackle somebody. I, can tackle people too. The differences in sizes of the people tackling doesn't make it more fun to watch or play. Here's a suggestion: Since you NFLers practice nearly every day out of the year, why don't you work on Passing plays instead of Running plays? In case you haven't noticed, Running plays suck, they gain you a mere 3 yds. on the average play, they are boring to watch, and trying to run up the center of the field through 6 350 pound fat guys is not only retarded, but it is uninteresting. Passing plays, when done right (that is what you practice every day for) gains more yardage. Im no Einstein, but more yardage sounds like a good thing. Trying to run through six 350 pounders is not a good thing. Maybe someone else has made this connection too.

3. I HATE all those fugly people in the mall who insist on walking on the LEFT side of the mall. They are friggin retarded and deserve to not only be flogged, but burried alive. I don't know if their tiny little brains can't process the fact that they are walking on the wrong side, but frankly, I don't care what their excuse is. To all you people who do this:
a.) You are fat, ugly, and take up the entire aisle. If you are going to
continuously eat at McDonalds everyday, at least spare me the
anger and walk on the RIGHT side of the mall.
b.) You are bumping into people for a reason: You are on the WRONG
side. What don't you understand about this?
c.) This is not England. If you wanna walk on the left, knock yourself
out. Just go to England though.
d.) The mall is crowded, so your fat gludious maximus on the wrong
side of the mall is not helping to alleviate the "traffic".

4. Another thing I hate is those people who have some ill-conceived notion that they are driving some $100,000 car and taking up two parking spaces will protect your prescious car. Guess what, just wait till I get older and you piss me off even more. Then we'll see if my key can resist the temptation of scratching up your entire care. Then we'll also see how much your sh!tty car is worth now. Even if you do this and you are driving a BMW or Mercedes, or whatever, who cares? Those cars suck anyways. You shouldn't have bought one in the first place. You are a frieken girl if you care that much about your car. (No offense to girls, I couldn't use anther word due to "profanity", even though that word would probably be offensive to girls as well). Heres a hint: Either park like everyone else does or buy a pick-up truck. Then I'll respect you.

5. Baked Potatoes. When I hear these words around dinner time, my stomach boils. What is the big deal about baked potatoes. Are you too stupid to realize they have NO taste whatsoever? The leather outer-skin tastes like poop, and loading your potato up with butter, cheese, etc. defeats the purpose of even eating a baked potato? If you have such a craving for butter and cheese, put some on your plate and eat it plain. You don't need a nasty-tasting baked potato to eat.

6. All you people who like sports cars and are proud of yourselves for knowing every kind of import or sports car there is: NOBODY CARES!!!!!!!! You probably will never be able to drive your dream sports car, You can maybe fit one other person in your sports car, They are impracticle for long road trips with other people or your family due to no storage room, thus eliminating your original intent of purchasing it in hopes of being able to speed or race, I doubt you like near the German Audobaun, so your racing days are very limited. And did I mention nobody cares what your favorite sports car is? They suck, nobody gives a da*n. Pick-up trucks are way cooler.

7. I can't stand all those people who prance around in their girly lookin FORD pick-up trucks. What don't people understand about a car name written in cursive, (Ford's signature), being the most pansy thing in the world? You try to act all tough with your "cool" truck, yet you buy the most girly brand ever? Jump off a cliff please. Oh, and just because you can revv your engine extremeley loud, doesn't mean it sound "tough" or "cool". Stop trying to hide the fact that your truck is girly and just plain sucks. Im unimpressed.

8. I can't stand Ultra-Preppy people. They walk around like they are special royalty figures and it is obvious they are preoccupied with their "popularity". Guess what? I don't give a darn about your Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirt. Millions of other teens have one too. You are trying to impress me by wearing a shirt that costs 40 dollars and you are trying to make it look like you are rich? I think you are a moron for paying that much for a shirt, and I don't care if you are wealthy or not. In fact, I hold grudges against rich people who flaunt their wealth.

9. Pepsi sucks, Coke is better. Nuff said.

I know I have more, I just can't think right now.

People who type text messages when biking need to die.

Here are my rants:



Do I know you? Scary....

It really bugs me when someone quotes a long post with a one line retort....;)

Sounds like you dont know much about american football.
Why teams run the football.

1) A good running back can easily get the 10 yards a carry you need for the first down
2) a great QB only completes a pass a little over 55% of the time. the other 45? ZERO yards
3) If you pass pass pass (like say, the Eagles), the defense stacks the defensive backfield, making it impossible to throw, and you cant score.
4) running the football controls the clock

a good football team must be able to do BOTH. If one can run the football well, its much easier to pass, because the safteys and corners have to creep up to stop the run, leaving the ripe for the picking on slant and deep routes.

duh. :)

my rant? people who dont get football!

people who call soccer football!

or english people who make fun of people who call soccer soccer, even though the word originated in england

The world game? The one with the round ball? The one played in almost every country on earth? Football.
The other football games always have a prefix or suffix to differentiate them from Football because they are a little more parochial.
IMHO the name Soccer cropped up because of the corrupting or confusing use of the name football used by these newer and more localised games.
In my country we have no less than 4 different codes of football (plus a few more marginal ones played at a local level). The one with the most influence in their area gets to call itself football. The others have to tack on an additional term to identify itself.

OFGS. I just wrote a lyrical and eloquent rant and suddenly it zips back to User CP, killing my text. Basically, I hate people with huge umbrellas, and I hate freezing wind and rain.

Whenever they confuse me and the rest of the Cross Country team for the soccer team. Cross country is more of a sport than soccer will ever be.

Liberal education requirements suck!

Balance be damned! I want science and engineering classes all day long!

Damn art paper. I just want to fulfill a core requirement! I wanted a cupcake class! Now I'm stuck finding nothing on this piece of Carolingian art from 1200 or so years ago.

I hate the Aztecs in Civ IV. I always seem to start next to them and Monty is always a PITA.

Yeah! We know e-freakin'-nough about stupid art! Carolingians can rot!

Carolingian is a time period, Perf. Stemming from the reign of Charlemagne.

I just want information about the Lindau Gospel Book Covers, damn it! I already have enough pictures of it!

Carolingian is a time period, Perf. Stemming from the reign of Charlemagne.They were also a dynasty of rulers (more like Droolers, those stupid SoBs)

I wonder if I could tie in the triumphant Jesus on one of the covers to something to do with the time of having Arabs invading Europe and more people from the east coming west as some kind of statement. Hmm...

I have my son proudly procaliming he knows what real war is like and doesnt think its all that hard and bad and that he could do it if they would let him. I am sadly one of those parent whos kid thinks that war is "cool" and sounds fun, not surprisingly, he thinks that anarchy would also be "fun" and "cool". He thinks he can just stab every guy that tries to rape him and kill anyone that murders becuase, he can ahdnle war rite? Aye carumba........

edit: ahhh bloody hell, another thread just remeinded me of the war......I hated the war....

How old is your kid?

i hate it when people say they'll call you right back but then never do or call back 298572983928358932 hours later

:lol: You rather defeated your own rant there, didn't you?

11 people of about 750 people care about me. That is nowhere near defeating my own rant.

Also about my flu; now I can't hear properly out of my left ear. :mad: :sad: I have a history of ear infections, so i'm scared.

Maths test; I botched it but i passed.

And FLIES! I HATE these fetchers.... My mouth is not a piece of rotting meat, you stupid insects. :twitch: I really hate flies.....

I hate it when people complain about trivial things such as insects, not getting phone calls, and disobediant dogs while there are people on this Earth with real problems, such as fatal illnesses, abusive parents, or the United States bombing them back into the stoneage.

Why people like the follow: Star Trek, Degrassi, The OC, Coronation Street, Medium, etc? It is the same boring junk; repeated over and over, weak after weak. Within 5 minutes of the intro, you can predict the ending. The characters are not 1-D -- they are 0-D, like mathematical points. True, there are other shows like those, but these spring in my mind first.

======================

Also, did any one catch the latest CSI: Miami? It was about a bunch of gamers decided to play out the game in real life, to the T. Included was a head gamer who play 80 hours straight and died, the female gamer who just wants to be accepted and the evil game developers -- who set up the whole affair to generate more sales. I bet the deleted scenes included a "Thomas Jackson", a tireless prusier trying to bring to justice the vile creatures to the fullest extent of his law firm; and how video games also promote gay love, evolution and terrorism.

Best line: "Hey! I ain't no gamer!"

I hate to find if the CSI teams take on people enjoying world domination simulations and acting upon it...

==================

Speaking of Medium, during a book fair at my college, I was browsing around when I encounter this real gem. We Are Eternal: What the Spirits Tell Me About Life After Death (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000B8K7HC?v=glance) written Robert Brown, a "medium's medium" who "read" for such luminaries as John Edwards (of Crossing Over fame), the late Princess Diana, and members of the Royal Family of India.

Here a review (http://www.curledup.com/eternal.htm), with this wonderfully hilariously section (unintentional, I hope):

Institutional religions are not the only naysayers. Psychic phenomenon are likewise rejected by the two dominant intellectualisms of the Western Grain, scientific method and the rationalist view of truth founded on the principle of methodical doubt.

Let's take the first. Certainly psychic phenomenon are "unscientific", based on the term's self-definition. But in the unsolved mystery department the sciences have plenty of skeletons in their own closet. Cosmologists haven't a clue what makes up the 75 percent of the universe called "dark energy," and are still pretty clueless about an additional 20 percent called "dark matter" (though they are confident they will one day quantify it). Yes, those numbers are correct: All the ordinary matter -- electrons, neutrons, protons, and so on -- that comprise our bodies, the earth, the stars, and the entire universe totals to less than five percent of all that is there. Anthropologists tell us all about the survival of the fittest, but go silent on the issue of why it exists and for what reason it was put here. Physics? What keeps electrons in atoms flying around at specific distances from the nuclei of atoms? It isn't gravity, because their infinitesimal mass would fly off in all directions at the velocities at which they orbit. The answer is: light. The constant exchange of light between the electron and its nucleus keeps the electron bound in its orbit. Give it enough extra energy from outside, e.g. heat, and it bounces up to a higher orbit and ejects a ray of light that is so characteristic in its properties that we have the word "spectrum" to define its energy state. Our eyes interpret this as red-hot versus white-hot.

Going this one further, cosmologists have learned a lot about the properties of the universe but still can't say why it was made in such a way as to proceed from its original state of infinite density to a state of utter nothingness. Physicists have very clear ideas about the various laws that govern the behavior of matter, but haven't a clue why these laws came into being or for what reason. Hence it is arbitrary to single out psychics and mediums and say they're nothing but speculative dreamers or overly gullible.
Your logic is bulletproof, Spock.

11 people of about 750 people care about me. That is nowhere near defeating my own rant.

Yeah so? Do you honestly expect anyone expect friends or family to give a damn about you? I don't.

Yeah so? Do you honestly expect anyone expect friends or family to give a damn about you? I don't.

Thats just me, my girlfriend and my family.

I don't care if you don't give a damn about me; But I do expect people who know me to care about me if something bad happens to me. I don't expect them to laugh their fricken face off at me for just being who i am.

Why do you expect that? Its a stupid thing to expect. People are naturally self-centered and sadistic (I am at least) and they enjoy other people's suffering. So there are very few people I expect to care about me proably only 3 or so people. Unless your aquaintances are unusally emphtaic don't be expecting any sympathy from them.

1. Why are asteroids always 'potato shaped'?

2. Why is everything either the size of Rhode Island or the size of a football field?

1. Why are asteroids always 'potato shaped'?

2. Why is everything either the size of Rhode Island or the size of a football field?

don't forget Texas, many things are the size of Texas. Like the potato shaped asteroid in Armageddon, or was it Deep Impact, or both?

Oh mock me would you! j/k But im genuinely bigboned:p so noone say any diffferent lalalalaalalalahaahahH what did you say? I can't hear you.
You sound like Eric Cartman.

1. Why are asteroids always 'potato shaped'?

2. Why is everything either the size of Rhode Island or the size of a football field?

Because Americans say they are.

don't forget Texas, many things are the size of Texas. Like the potato shaped asteroid in Armageddon, or was it Deep Impact, or both?
Yeah youre right, there are three classes of objects: Texas sized, Rhode Island sized, and football field sized.

Because Americans say they are.
One of the fringe benefits of empire is being able to decide how big things are;)

Yeah youre right, there are three classes of objects: Texas sized, Rhode Island sized, and football field sized.

Obiviously who uses those classifications? Americans. There's your answer.

And FLIES! I HATE these fetchers.... My mouth is not a piece of rotting meat, you stupid insects. :twitch: I really hate flies.....
Yes. Flies are one of the most annoying animals ever. Most people do not realise what trouble they in Australia.

Obiviously who uses those classifications? Americans. There's your answer.
I know but saying things are Punjab sized, Bangalore sized, and cricketfield sized, just wouldnt catch on I think:)

I know but saying things are Punjab sized, Bangalore sized, and cricketfield sized, just wouldnt catch on I think:)

Yeah but I don't think many people outside of Americans classify things in those cateogories.

I hate it when a nations calls a sport football when they hardly use their feet. I mean, come on. Use your feet and then you can call it football, not when you basically use your hand.

Also, I hate is when men wear so much padding that they look like they are scarded of being hit. Real men do not need to wear that sort of padding. Watch a game of RU, RL or AFL and you will see what real men are like.

I hate it when a Nation wins one Cricket series and then they proclam themselves as being the best in the world. Wake up and smell the coffee, because you need to wake up from this dream and face the reality that one series does not make a great team.

That is all I can think of about my rants about sport.

Yeah youre right, there are three classes of objects: Texas sized, Rhode Island sized, and football field sized.
Well one could say that they are referring to a proper football field.

Real men dont run around a field in shorts, with knee high socks and long hair;)

double post

soccer fields are different sizes from american football fields. i dont remember which one is bigger

I NEVER feel angry enough to rant. :mad:

Soccer Fields are larger.

Stupid Slow Internet causing me to have double posts!!! Grrrrrrrr!!!!

I've got two papers, one due on Tuesday, the other due on Wednesday (and another one due the following Tuesday, but that one is simple for me). I've got one paragraph on one and none on the other. I know what I want to say...I just don't know how to get to that. Introductions are so key....


Pleh, I think I'll go write another post on politics to get my mind moving...

I can't think of something to rant about. That's my rant, I hope you enjoyed it! :p

I absolutely dispise ice-cream vans. They drive around noisily, disturbing everyone with those dreadful "tunes" and rattle-bang engines and tooting their horns, and expect you to give them lots of money for a solution of sugar, fat and E-numbers. I hate it when one comes every day and plays the same damn tune over and over and over again: that happened to me when I was trying to revise for my exams in May. There were three; one with a creepy mangled version of Teddy Bears' Picnic, one with the standard ice-cream van tune, and one with a muddly scale and arpeggio sound. They would start at around 7am, and I would hear those jangling tingling infuriating sounds every few minutes until it got dark - around 10pm. Even shutting the window didn't help. I think noise pollution annoys me the most of anything from living in a city. There's one stalking around the halls now - for f's sake, it's nearly freezing and after dark! No-one buys ice-cream in winter, surely? :aargh:

Hmm, maybe I should get a blog and post all my rants there.

How come on TV, people who are happy jog backwards on beaches, laughing, with sweaters tied around their necks?

And more to the point, who lets their horses onto beaches?

Animals are optional, and its usually a dog I think, although horses arent that uncommon.

And the beach is never covered in crap, or used condoms or anything.

And usually looks like its Fall, or Winter.

@noncon: Agreed - for example, in all the collective distance covered, nobody ever impales their foot with a rusty treble hook. (I have :blush:.)

I may have never known what 'E-numbers' were until five minutes ago, but I'll take the opportunity to rant that Google's introduction to various chemical food additives these days is ridiculous.

And who ties a sweater around their neck, anyway??

I know I shouldn't complain about stuff that no one has any power over but I can't stand it now when It's getting dark so quickly.

It snowed here. I hope people shoveled that slushy garbage!

Though the undisturbed snow on rooftops and in this triangle across the street from me looks nice.

Also in another rant about about stuff that no one has any power over isn't it annoying the sky is usually grey instead of blue.

They would start at around 7am, and I would hear those jangling tingling infuriating sounds every few minutes until it got dark - around 10pm. Even shutting the window didn't help. I think noise pollution annoys me the most of anything from living in a city. There's one stalking around the halls now - for f's sake, it's nearly freezing and after dark! No-one buys ice-cream in winter, surely? :aargh:

Hmm, maybe I should get a blog and post all my rants there.

An ice cream truck drives by my house every so often (a little surprising - I don't exactly live in a big city...) It plays "Do Your Ears Hang Low?" or something like it every time, except it's just *slightly* off-key. Unngh. But at least it stopped coming after about September, and it never played at 7 in the morning... oh, God...

No-one buys ice-cream in winter, surely? :aargh:

Hmm, maybe I should get a blog and post all my rants there.Ranting blogs are the best.

And I buy ice cream in the winter, though not from a truck.

Come to New York...I believe starting next year, those trucks can't play those tunes (or at least as loud). And they're not around in the winter. I can't help you on the morning part though.

My supervisor is an incompetent control freak who is ruining my career development by keeping me in the dark and giving me no leeway to do my work, and only letting me do miniscule tasks, dictated in every detail by him.

He's a politically charged self-promoter, who takes all credit for anything that goes well (or more accurately appears to go well), and fingers the blame in my direction everytime something goes wrong, regardless of whether I had any involvement or not.

Of course, he leaves me to get things from people, who hate his confusing and overbureaucratic expectations, leaving me to demand things from people which I cannot justify in the slightest.

And he's ugly.

Our loathesome manager refuses to hear me out and is also a politically charged self-promoter who only believes in maintaining the stupid bloody hierarchy despite his complete and utter incompetence. :aargh:

Fortunately I have a job interview this week, one step closer to escaping from these useless scumbags.

You work for a Crown corp, don't you? If so, you practically sign up to have bosses like that! :p

Good luck finding new employment. I recommend moving to a certain Western city that has immense bandwagon pride for its hockey team.

Yes, Vancouver is very nice. ;)

My candle went out during the carol service. :cry: We do Once In Royal David's City as a processional, lights off and carrying candles. It was so cold I decided to keep mine lit all through the service (also I'm a pyromaniac), but it blew out after just three carols. :cry: And then I had to walk home in the freezing cold night. Why is the uniform all black? Walking in all black is not safe at night, the local drivers are quite insane enough already when they can see you.

My boss makes us do the Secret Santa thing every December. I keep drawing the name of someone I either barely know or can't stand. It reminds me of boarding school. :cringe:

Some idiot in a truck just took out the awning in the front of my work building. He effectively brought the entire steel and concrete awning down along with ripping the front doors off and shattering all the glass in the front door area (since they were all attached to a steel beam that was attached to the awning). The guy had to have been doing around 20mph+ to generate the type of force to take down a concrete and steel structure, though he claims he was only going 5mph (if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you). Luckily, no one was under the awning or near the front door, so no one got hurt. It scared the crap out of our receptionist though.

*Grr* Why must barbar shops be closed on mondays? I drive 7 miles to my barber only to smack myself on the head and say, "oh yeah, barber hours are in effect!"

Saw this one kid, about 18 yrs. old, in the mall and he was wearing his Virginia Tech hat sideways, and half-off his head. I absolutely can't stand people who try sooo hard to look "cool". It defeats the purpose of "coolness" when you have to try to look cool. Typically, coolness is something you are or you aren't, and wearing your hat sideways and half-off your head (in my mind anyway) makes you look like a fool. It is just irritating to see "college students" behaving and dressing like a retarded highschooler eager for popularity and attention. You aren't fooling anyone when you do that. I still think you are an idiot. Thats what I thought in my head.

My rant is that time is closing up, as I still don't know what to do in January (until mid-march), and I do nothing but read books at home now (we got the oral exams next week).

You have my sympathies. I hate those stupid things.

Do you mean Calgary, the team that was openly discussing moving before their one and only winning season of the decade?

Go on, get it off your chest.

What happend today that makes you wanna punch the daylights out of something?

Or just tell us about those everyday buggerups that really roots yer boot (pet hates).

Although this thread is meant to be an inferno, it's a therapeutic inferno, so keep your flames aimed at concepts, not other posters.

It didn't happen today, but last Wednesday, while driving home from work, I got in a bad car accident when a 94 year old man wasn't watching on-coming traffick (me) and tried to make a left turn on a 2-way street. Now I'm stuck with a rental while my insurance company attempts to sort things out. They are sympathetic to me (the guy is supposed to yield when turning), but that doesn't make me feel better.

To top it off, the rental had a flat tire the day after I rented it! Now that made me mad! Today I switched it for a different car, a Dodge Neon. This one's nicer. Oh yeah. :cool:

I included the word 'bandwagon' for obvious reasons. :p

Burned a part of my arm on Friday, second degree burn.
It seems to be hurting more and more every day :cry:

Up another night. Thankfully, this is the last paper of the term.

jus found out i have a 3000 word essay in for friday, 4pm. :( oh ****!

I hate having PMT. I am really stressed, angry and pissed about loads of things I normally wouldn't even get annoyed about. I hate the stupid arses who spend hours every night yelling and shouting and laughing drunkenly outside my window, waking me up and disturbing me. Today they started just after 4am, and didn't stop until nearly 5. Tonight they've been wandering around while making all that racket, so I've been hearing them for maybe ten minutes in every hour ALL EFFING EVENING.
I hate being overloaded with anger and frustration, curdling in me, when it's obviously hormonal (happens nearly every month), it's so stupid being a slave to chemicals, so frustrating, and I know it's the hormones which makes me even more pissed.
I wish my effing sister had told me before yesterday that she wouldn't come to see me until after Xmas; it's ruined my entire planning for the next few weeks. I'd got everything organised for her coming in this coming week, and now she finally condescends to tell me that she won't be coming after all, despite having made two spur-of-the-moment other overnight visits to friends during the week, so her excuse is just stupid. Now I have only tail-ends of nasty food left over, which I now have to eat before I go, which I'd been planning to turn into lovely food by buying new stuff and cooking them up together and now I can't because I'll be going in a couple of days and it'd be wasted. I just tried to use up some stuff and it's actually the first time I remember ever cooking something that tasted bad. So frustrating. I want to go on a rampage and kill people, which makes me feel alarmed and guilty, which makes me even more pissed.
Another thing that's driving me mad is my left ear. For the last two days it's been tender and painful; I can't see anything wrong with it (as far as I can do an inspection with two mirrors), but it aches all the time and is really tender to the touch around the ear canal. Even the skin around it is starting to be affected, and the muscle in my jaw. I've tried looking for a boil to lance, I've tried filling it with hot water while showering, I've tried a hot compress, I've tried a cold one, I've tried ignoring it, and next I am going to try asking someone to look at it.

Stuff Squaresoft.

Damnit they freakin put back Advent children for until next freaking year.

I've been waiting for that for 1 1/2 years already.
:gripe:
And It was put back on the day that it was supposed to come out on.

@ Sophie -- I don't get PMS (what it's called in the US) very often or very bad, but I feel exactly the same way when I get too short on food or sleep. And I hate it. I have so little control over how I act then; everything's this constant anger and annoyance. All I can do is try to prevent it by always having something decent to eat near me (real food -- sugary crud only makes me feel worse) and trying to get enough sleep. With my personality, both those things are difficult. Frustrating.

I can sympathize with Sophie. It's not as bad as 4 AM, but whoever is right above me has been moving and banging things on the floor for hours each day this week. It's not even during working hours...which I'd understand if it were some kind of moving or work.

On another note, for some silly reason the final exam for Managerial Accoutning is actually two exams. And I get to be stuck from 9 am to nearly 3 pm. At least there's a 1 1/2 hour break in the middle.

Heres a rant for you all. Do not go around hitting snowballs off the ground with a golf club. The club will end up slipping, fly 30 feet and take out a second story window. I know this because it happened to me.

I meant to post this one yesterday morning, but forgot to.

People who don't shovel their sidewalks after a snow! I was shovelling my driveway yesterday and diligently did the sidewalk as well. Looking around at the neighbors up and down the street, there were only two other properties which had the sidewalks cleared, yet almost all had already shovelled the driveways.

There are kids that will be using those sidewalks for school. Grrr!!!

That's actually a law here in Lawrence....

I started this rant thinking to talk about the latest music.

But then I figured it's not just the crappy rap or mushy R&B.. it was the lyrics. Or rather, lack of care for the lyrics. You see, I don't know about you guys but up/down here in Orewa *every* single girl from the age of 11 to 19 is utterly and completely brain-washed. They just don't give a spade about the lyrics of the latest song. 'ME: Hey sister, what excactly are you singing about? SISTER: I dunno. Who cares? It's cool...' At this point I usually attempt to emplode on account on hearing my sister sing lyrics to the tune of "I'll do anything for you babe.. anything" and "It's time to dirty!", "give it to me baby.". Now, if you've ever heard you're sister chant "I wanna take off all my clothes" Then I think you know excactly what it's like. Even my parents don't care if she starts the latest 'dance move' that looks strangely like a sexual postion. ME: Mum, [sister] is.. uh, 'dancing' again. MUM: TradaPIB, what did I tell you about interrupting you're sisters routine." It. Is. Driving. Me. Mad. As. I. Can't. Listen. To. The radio without thinking of my sister doing.. that.. Ack. ACKACKACKACK! The worse thing is is that this isn't a lone case. No my friend, this is happening *everywhere* to *all* girls. (my cousins, my neihbours, my class mates) It's like every single girl has caught this.. this stripper bug from songs THAT SOUND KEWL SO WHO CARES ABOUT THE LYRICS AS THEY AER JUST THERE TO CARRY THE TUNE AYE??!!?!@$... What? Did I just hear that correctly? The lyrics are just there to carry the tune? I can't believe she said that and I would rather believe that George Bush didn't cheat in winning his postion. But what's EVEN WORSE is that this is now the attitude towards music. Just look around, the Edge, ZM, even the asians on planet FM seem to have figured out that a catchy beat sells and meaningfull lyrics don't. My music collection consists of sane, real, meaningful music. Not this "La la la la la laaa" crap. And trust me, if I see one more music video on C4 that has black filfty rich sex addicts who are waving their bling bling bling bling around while sqeaking about what troubled lives they have and how ever did they survive those gettos (sp?) And oh how they deserve all that money I think.. I think I'm going to have to buy this T-shirt: http://www.engrish-store.com/ihatmystshir.html

I hate the damn paper clip cartoon in MS Word.

"It looks like you're writing a letter do..."
Why thank you for pointing out the obvious, now shut the f up.

That's actually a law here in Lawrence....

It's also a law here, but it doesn't seem to be enforced. I suppose that's another rant. :mad:

The El_Mac vote says that Trada wins on this page. I totally loved that rant. It's like your fingers didn't stop to take a breath.

Thanks. And no, they didn't stop to take a breath :)

OMG OMG RACIST!!! You just don't like it because its black music don't you!!!
Seriously I know what you mean, it seems the whole worlds gone mad. But what can you do?

The trouble is... is that my sister and her clone friends really think I'm racist for pointing out the 'black filfy rich sex addicts'. But, if I had said 'male' instead of 'black'.. would they say I'm sexist? No.

Let's get this clear people: Labeling a black person black is not racist. Treating them differently soley based on the colour of their skin is.

Word.

It's also a law here, but it doesn't seem to be enforced. I suppose that's another rant. :mad:

I actually paid attention to this today....There's a bunch of spots around town where people aren't doing this.

Common curtesy....Alive and well. :rolleyes:

Can't stand CSI, Law and Order, Jag, or any of the other crappy shows that folllow those sorts of storylines. Everyone in school thinks they're some sort of forensics detective or something just because they watch CSI. All those shows are so unrealistic as far as the routine storylines that it makes me sick. It also pisses me off how CSI, Law and Order, etc. craftily include a little 5-6 year old witness, usually a girl with a "cute" speech impediment and is ungodly smart for her age. As for the soap-opera-like acting, that pisses me off as well. But in general, it is their chronic stretch of things that in reality or real life occur very rarely, and they make it seem like it is an everyday event. Of course I have taken into consideration that a show about a guy who simply shoots another guy and is being tracked would be uninteresting. But they make it appear that teenagers who dress up like vampires, teeth and all, and go around actually sucking the blood of other people and killing some is an everyday thing. Its not. Sorry to tell everyone who is nuts about that show. It is not even in the least bit realistic enough to hold my attention. Sure it could happen, and it probably does, but not everywhere and everyday. And the "bad guy" or person who is always guilty puts up the same predictable verbal fight with the interrogators and crime scene investigator people every single frieken episode. Does nobody else get tired of seeing the same thing happening every episode, just a different murderer and different setting? People who are fascinated by these shows are dull and easily amused, and it pisses me off that both my dad and sister love CSI, Law and Order and Jag and etc.

Yeap. Same thing happened to my little sisters.

People who generalise will all die cold and lonely.

Trada, you cant listen to the radio because it makes you think of your sister dancing like a stripper? Why, how very Freudian of you! ;)

It just hollywood helping with the demand for young audiences to reqruit more human capital in the criminal justices career.An advertisement for the ever expanding criminal population.;)

I can't help but laugh when I read that :)
Thank you for making my day :D

Trada, you cant listen to the radio because it makes you think of your sister dancing like a stripper? Why, how very Freudian of you! ;)

but i can understand Trada frustration on regarding his sister virtue,he just care that his sister shouldnt be influence by the record industry of filth.All they do is produce women that it is ok to be uninhibited of their sexual desire.And the fear that she will succumb to the skin-trade.It is natural that a brother fear that his sister think low of herself by making it self a commodity of prostitution[porn,strippers,erotic models,etc.etc.].

Its funny how in alot of western society these days put so much emphasis on the woman body and not of their intelligence and piety,but like always,profit over people and sex sells.

I can't help but laugh when I read that :)
Thank you for making my day :D
Your sister must be younger than you. In my case, my sisters were older than me. I was more worried about them beating the crap out of me, than how they were dancing:lol:

@cartesian, older brothers in 1964 were thinking the same things. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

If an older brother doesn't find his sister dancing like that icky then he's probably in a coma.

In 1964 there was no Rap or Hiphop music.

No, but there was Elvis' 'pelvic moves' and whatnot. :)

Still, I remember once when I had to pick up my niece from a school dance. She was a freshman and I was utterly floored to see what they called dancing. Basically, it was simulated sex. That was in 1997 if I remember properly, and since that time the school were she went has banned that dancing, but I'm still disgusted it was ever allowed.

In 1964 there was no Rap or Hiphop music.

he got a point,music definately got primal and atavistic.Too many savage dance now these days.50 cent is the modern day Dionysus.;)

I'm a drama student but I would not and can not step into the role of these modern day rap 'artists'. 50 cent makes me want to puke.

Those transit workers are so set to going on strike when they dont even realize the MTA has enough money to pay for everything! Damn, why can't they use their union power to go pressure the state to actually help fund the system!? Sigh...they don't even care about the Taylor Law...and I don't think they even care how much money it will cost the city and businesses because they're not working.

Really hope it won't affect my finals next week. Must be a bummer to those who come from out of state if finals are put in January.

But that's not my concern!

I'm getting really annoyed at the current evolution of what is considered humerous/cool among young males about my age.

Think Maddox (who is legitimately funny), but retarded and derivitive. Its this stupid "shock humor" where people try and say as shocking and "un-pc" things as possible. I don't think its funny at all. Mencia (stupid comedian on Comedy Central) would be an example. Another example would be dead baby jokes, and most stuff on stupid Family Guy. Most of the crap that David Spade peddles on his new Showbiz Show is similar.

I keep seeing this crap pop up everywhere. People now like to wear t-shirts with little assertive slogans that are supposed to be "crazy". Using a Maddox tshirt as an example, "Vote Regressive Party: Against abortion, for killing babies".

Wow. You can be "un-pc"... how cool and funny.

I really don't have a problem with someone like Maddox doing it because that's his whole schtick, but when I see fat retards my age running around thinking that THEY are funny for doing this stuff, it just drives me bonkers.

Also, everyone thinks its cool to pretend to be narcissistic now, what the hell is up with that? An example would be a tshirt that my roommate (who is basically a human wasteland) wears that says "You're handsome" in mirror writing. How un-funny.

Another thing that makes me go crazy is when little dorks (usually emo people) decide that a movie or book or tv show is somehow amazingly good just because it contains some shred of "social commentary" or "symbolism" or "political satire" (they love to throw those words out like candy). Any 5th grader can put "social commentary" in a stinking story. What makes a story good is if it has ORIGINAL social commentary or is otherwise DISTINGUISHABLE from all the other crap out there.


Another pet peeve of mine are people who proclaim that they are "into indie films". There is nothing wrong with liking some indie films, but they just say it to try and be cool so they can get little horned-rim-glasses wearing girlfriends.

Additionally, any guy who wears girl pants thinking it is funny or nonconformist just makes me mad. At the risk of resorting to the type of comment I specifically said I hate in my previous post... I take a leak on a guy wearing girl pants if they were dying of thirst.

You too?

Ok here is my biggest peeve ever. Tight. Pants. On. A. Guy. WTF? Most people who wear them are A)Skaters or B)Emo, very few wear them otherwise. Skaters say it helps them skate. Bullcr*p. Skaters didnt wear super tight pants before and they were just as good, if anything they suck more. Emo kids wear them because they say they are going against the 'mainstream' styles, where there they are, wearing those damned tight pants, proably the worst mass style ever. So you think it would be over after a few months right? And only affect teenagers right? Wrong People who are 19 20 21 wear them too even though it was never a style when they were a teenager. Also it has been growing strong for Two years now. And it doesn't show signs of letting up. I hate the excuses they give for wearing them: "Oh they are comfortable" "They help me skate" They are against mainstream styles" and the suckiest one of all "Just Cause Everyone Else Does." Tight Pants are the worst thing to become massively popular ever.

I hate back to back tests, one on history and one on anatomy, and the pain my mind goes through trying to shift gears between two completely distinct topics in 5 minutes.

European Starlings and English House Sparrows. I hate them with a passion.

It occured to me yesterday that the Purple Martins are going to be hitting the southern U.S. coasts by the end of this month. They'll be here by mid March, and along with them will come the competition from Starlings and Sparrows for housing. *sigh* Dangerous, invasive non-native bird species! Oh well, I'll just have to have my air rifle ready and waiting.

I hate those teenagers who deliver unadressed commercial material on my doorstep, and when I return it to them (I accidentally heard them drop it off, so I opened the door, and picked up the paperwork on my doormat, then caught up with them as they were waiting to take the elevator down) the damn kids pick up my papers after I have left, and return it to my doormat!!!111!

I am fed up with stupid practices of my political science courses. They require some mandatory work, and students to evaluate eachother, but if a person gets a poor evaluation, it does not seem to give them any problems, even though the rules say that if they fail on their mandatory work, they are not allowed to take the exam of the course.

Why should the university spend a lot of money for less smart students to take exams and get mediocre grades, when they could instead have the students actually WORK on their papers, and improve (if possible), for then to let them take the exams. You 'd think they wanted the students to learn anything. Luckily the economics department has a good understanding of how incentives work.

And I am sick of waiting for the superintendant to come to fix something in my winter garden. He said he was coming next week, back in the beginning of november. He didnt call to arrange anything either. If I had time, I would have arranged something myself, since the man clearly cannot keep track of his obligations.

gaah.

Thread ... http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e122/Sophie378/Smilies/bump.gif :bump:

:( Today I got egged for the first time.

This is a new fad amoung people with a car and more time/money than sense, and a misplaced belief that random assaults which cause much annoyance are somehow cool and showing what a wonderful person they are. Basically, you drive around and throw eggs at people. Shplatch! Ow! Oh ****, I'm all covered in mess. I was just standing waiting for a bus (and it had snowed earlier today, it was really cold) when I get a sudden pain in my leg. Look down, there's a pale lumpy messy thing on me. WTF? Go to brush it off, and great, now I've got egg in my woollen handwash gloves, and egg all down my jeans (which were clean today) and on my bag. Of course the delay in all that prevents me from having the faintest chance even seeing it done, let alone getting a number plate and ID.
At least it's a good opportunity to use some smilies! Here: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e122/Sophie378/Smilies/curse.gif :gripe: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e122/Sophie378/Smilies/bagger.gif http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e122/Sophie378/Smilies/censored.gif http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e122/Sophie378/Smilies/cussing.gif

The person who lives in the dorm next to me likes to play his guitar all day long. If he interupts Survivor with that **** one more time I'm going to shove it up his ass.

I just got my exam schedule this semester. All in the same day. All on the first day of exams.

I'd like to meet the programmer that designed the exam-allocation algorithm and punch him to death.

@sophie... Birmingham is a tough place to live. I wasn't scared when I lived over there but I have seen too much litter and too many smashed bus stop hut windows. First time I heard somebody using the verb 'egg'. You look like an american, making verbs out of everything. :lol:

I have never heard of that type of assault before, I know that some people spanks other on the street and they tape it on the cellphone and they upload on the web, but the egg thing must be a UK only thing.

(Now I have to look up for a recipe of Yorkshire pudding in order to make pancakes :lol: )

I just got my exam schedule this semester. All in the same day. All on the first day of exams.

I'd like to meet the programmer that designed the exam-allocation algorithm and punch him to death.

I somehow have a final exam on the Saturday of exams week...even though exams are technically only scheduled for Monday through Friday. Which means that by the time I take my last final, there won't be anyone left on campus.

I have two exams, but one is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on the last day so I can't go home early.


Another thing, and I'm gonna direct this one directly at several unnamed people who post on this site, I call it soccer, deal with it. Yes we know the American version's not real football or however you term it but seriously screw every last one of you who "corrects" me on it. Pompous asses like you are the reason I have to qualify "I like soccer," with, "but, no, I'm not that type of fan," whenever someone asks me which sports I like.

You look like an american, making verbs out of everything.Atleast we don't make adjectives out of everything!

I had detention and missed the bus that comes after the one i normally get after detention. Lost bus pass, had to pay 3$ for bus

Atleast we don't make adjectives out of everything!

Are you trying to tell that I am making adjectives out of everything?

English is not my mother tongue, so I might have done that :)

I heard that rant about americans in Birmingham (UK), That's why I posted it, I find funny that someone in that place does it as well, not offense intended, Sorry :)

I plead not guilty on account of not committing the original offence. I only use nouns-turned-into-verbs when they're in common use - I wouldn't have called it "been egged" if I hadn't heard other people describing it before. Apparently it's common along the Bristol Road (nightclub zone; I was coming home from a supermarket). In future maybe I shall stand on the side of the bus stop further away from the road. Stupid design that you're exposed to the road and weather or can't watch for the busses ... :mad:

My rant: I can't stand it when some stupid fayget awper in Counter-Strike always seems to pick you out of a group of like 5 guys! That gets me so mad I could take the computer and throw it through the window! Another thing is when I get killed like 5 rounds in a row by plain old lucky shots! :mad:

No but it seems like something English people would do. Although now that I think about it they do nuns into verbs sometimes as well. Quite annoying.

Yep, "to egg" is a legitimate verb as best I know. (And I don't care what Mr. Webster has to say about it!) I've not heard of people being egged, though, just buildings. And I thought Atlanta could be rough...

I am about -> <- close to not caring and blowing off everything. I feel so empty, and my parents aren't helping by making me do things I don't want to do, and to add on to that, I've got a nagging cold that is persistant. Really annoying.

find a real person not the net to moan too. Whenever i am down i can rely on one flatmate or another and they can really cheer me up in a short chat.

The rant starts here!

I cannot stand mind-controlled, god-fixated, parent-obeying, self-righteous,
flabby-arsed, chemical-imbalanced, church-wallowing, suburban-inhabiting,
ill-educated, shopping-addicted, depression-filled, pram-shoving, space-taking
'give-you-a-nasty-stare-because-their-life-is-going-down-the-tube' mothers
and their cabbage-filled push-prams...Bugging me on public transport.

These sows think that they have done everyone a favour by pushing out the
next generation of mindless, fake-religious, consumerism-sucking morons for
the decay of Western society. Well done, lady! You had a baby!

Now get out of my way, and give people room on the bus before you and your
pram gets booted onto the pavement! Damn useless, idiotic welfare-parasites!

*sigh*

That feels better!

:D

Wouldnt life be better if the bus just hit them?

:)

Little Rant:

For some inexplicable reason, I get really pizzed off with folk who don't indicate when driving. It's such a small courtesty to other drivers and yet they can't be bothered. Well, I'm not a mind reader. I don't appreciate you making me come to a stand still when I don't need to. I'm not a fan of you thinking that you don't need to communicate with other road users. etc etc grrr grrrrr.

However, it's funny when people abruptly make their lane change and then switch on their indicator, as if to let you know that they've arrived safely.

So you are saying that you hate superficial people?:mischief:

There's a yappy little dog in the apartment directly below mine, his owners moved in a few months ago. The dog barks at pretty much anything going on outside, or seemingly nothing at all. Every once in a while, just for kicks, it'll start barking in the middle of the night for ten or twenty minutes (which generally doesn't wake me up, but does wake up my wife). Complaints to my landlord have gone unheeded (well, he's recently told me "we're working on that one" which doesn't much matter to me because I'm moving out next month).

Now, I am not a vindictive, cruel, or overly emotional or angry person. However, I'm thinking that an indication to the renters below us regarding just how we (and I'm guessing, their neighbors to either side and below them) feel about their damned dog would be appropriate. Can any of you vindictive, cruel, angry, or just plain evil folks help me out? :satan:

Get a dog whistle and play along.

:mischief:

Get some raw hamburger, and your drug of choice (for the dog, not you)....

^ He's back!!! :dance:

What annoyed me today....

Well, I need/want a job. So I go round town and look in shop windows and find nothing:( Which is understandable, because not long gone christmas and also the cities shops are gonna get shaken up soon due to a development project.

So I see that their is a recruitment fair in a public building. I go take a look, and basically it's just an excuse for the armed forces and various job agencys* to try and hire people. Hardly a wide range of choice there!

So yeh, am feeling down today about being unemployed:(


*which are ok for temp work but not when you need something permanent

Hey Ram-chan!

CD - I've had temporary positions turn into full time ones. Check it out. If nothing else, it'll give you money while you're waiting for a real job. And, as my pop says, people are more likely to hire someone with a job then without. YMMV.

Get a dog whistle and play along.

:mischief:

Brilliant!!! :goodjob:

Another brilliant one!! :goodjob: I'm thinking a laxative would be peculiarly appropriate, yes?

Make sure it's not chocolate based. Chocolate can be toxic to dogs.

I'm assuming you want to mess with them, not kill the mutt, right? Cuz if you wanted to kill the mutt, you could 'accidentally' run over it with your car.

A laxative! That's not appropriate, it's pure evil.

I use public transport for sleeping so I'd have to agree in part here.

The world needs more stupid people though.:p

Otherwise the smarter ones don't look so smart;)

I must admit though, lifes to short to rant about things like this save it up, bottle it up deep inside, force it down and then when the time is right go off on something that really bothers you with tsunami force.

Good point, thanks for the reminder.

You're correct, my conscience would *****slap me into a coma if I killed the dog, or even caused it (or the owners) significant pain. Besides, the only time it is out is when the owner is walking it, and I would prefer to be anonymous even though I am outta there soon.

I hate flying. On long haul flights to the other side of the world, you end up watching each movie four times, listening to every song you brought twice, reading the book you brought four times through, filing your tax return, writing an article proving the existance of God, completing a game of Monopoly.....and then there's still eight hours left in the flight! :mad:

So you are saying that you hate superficial people?:mischief:

I don't hate anyone.

I just find psychotic mothers with prams to be annoying!

:)

I have 3 Portfolio Assignments and 1 Culmative Assessment due tommorow.
My teacher said he would tell us a week in advance before it was due but instead told us Tuesday that it was due Thrusday.
Then today he decided to extend our time till next tuesday but 3 *******s in my class decided to be bloody retrarted pieces of **** and were messing around rather than working so instead the deadline is back to tommorow.
WTF!!!

Not only that its in Canadian Hoistotry. Candadia don't even have a BLOODY history. Canadia is a fake country WTF!!

It's not the baby factories on the bus that get to me; it's that no one seems to try to teach their children basic courtesy in a public place.

My wife and I were trying to eat lunch in our favorite chicken place, but couldn't talk to one another because of the table of six kids screaming and yelling and carrying on. Of course, the four mothers of these kids were at their own table separate from the kids, and couldn't be bothered to go discipline their own children, or at least instill some order. No, it's their form of "girls afternoon out" and since they can't get rid of the kids for an hour, they'll just pretend that they aren't there.

I almost started throwing ice cubes at them to get their attention. Later I thought that the best approach would be indirect: next time I am going to sit next to them and pretend that I am on a cell phone call, then speak very loudly about what girl I banged and go into graphic and vulgar detail so they and their children can participate in the call. I'll let them come to me and accuse me of making a disturbance to their peace.
