Related to that (since they are ridiculously easy these days): WHAT THE HELL, WASHINGTONPOST.COM. GIVE ME MY FRIGGIN PASSWORD SO I CAN DO CROSSWORDS.
UPDATE: So apparently the Washington Post's webmaster sucks or something, because none of the crosswords are displaying or anything, and instead magical URLs that mean nothing are appearing. Hire a competent webmaster, Washington Post.

Make sure you play with friends, it makes it a lot less sucky.

I have a huge stack of them being put to good use.
It's strange, when we first learned the alphabet, I could whip out the ayn sound like it was nothing, and I spent my walks to and from school practicing the ghayn sound. Now I can whip out the ghayn sound without thinking about it, yet screw ayn up all the time! Another problem is that, though I will learn to pronounce ayn, I will then only remember the word phonetically, so when I try to spell it later based on the sound, i forget things like taamarbuttaa (example, the word for time).
I can get ghayn reasonably well, because it's sort of similar to the R in some German words. (That's how my professor tried to help me with it anyway.) I think that the reason I can usually get ayn is because we've learned so few words that have it, so I just remember those. Our class is kind of behind.
The taa marbuuta memorization, for me, is about the same as trying to remember German noun genders.

Once I figured out that Baghdad and Maghreb used ghayn, it clicked for me. But my problem with words like "time" is that the taamarbuttaa is essentially silent when you say the word by itself, so I basically just forget about it. The same goes for fatHa, for similar reasons.

The Rock Bar of a mate is about to go tits up thanks to the smoking ban and he will probably have to sell the place if the ban stays. Also a couple of other favourite bars of mine are in trouble.
I'd like to thank the anti-smoking brigade for this. I hope you will all get run over by a bus.

Yeah their about to enact the same ban around here. I fear most good joints will be forced to close. Apparently you can smoke in psychiatric institutions but not at bars, what idiocy.
About my double-barreled shotgun problem...well I decided to go with the blonde for a number of reasons, the brunette is unsure of the whole thing because of bad experience from previous relationships and she might not really be that much into even though we clicked 90% four nights in a row. Anyway I offered her an easy way out and we'll probably stay friends because she is actually mature and hella smart. Now if she doesnt take it and wants to have a go at it...well godammit then. Women, cant live with them. The End.

That's okay, I even it out by hoping that people who want to smoke in my bars get run over by a bus.
Over here the hype of losing business because of anti smoking regulations didn't pan out that way for bars and restaurants.

In the UK pubs lost business due to smoking ban, but made it back by improving the quality of food they served (i.e. turned into half-pub half-restaurant).
Clubs didn't lose any business at all, IIRC.

Skeet/trap shooting. All the violence of a video game, it's active, and shooting at flying orange pottery certainly is dumb entertainment.

They send you a summons. Then they make you call for a recorded message the day before to confirm you still have to go. When I report tomorrow morning, then I suppose I can tell them I'm a racist, mysoginic anti-semite.
Of course, that won't work if the person on trial is a white Republican-type guy.

I got a summons only once before, and it was eventually canceled

I really don't like this one kid in my history class.
Everyone who thinks "There is no such thing as stupid questions" has obviously never met "The Riddler" as we call him....
seriously... he thinks he's smart, but as he argues, its soo obvious that he's going against himself, throwing random things in there that don't even pertain to the topic, and calls it a cogent argument. I know I'll do that sometimes too, but he does this pretty much EVERYDAY!

He can always call himself a misanthropist.
