Random Rants Two

[Trafalgar]

Ladies with big asses who take up a seat and half on the bus. I get scrunched.

Smelly ladies with big asses who take up a seat and half on the bus. I get scrunched and feel sick.

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

My rant is that my parents won't let me buy the Orange Box.

Dude, my parents wouldn't let me play most Teen games until I was 18 (except Smash Bros. and Star Wars games) and even until the day I moved out barred me from Mature rated games. They would seriously disown me if I told them the day I moved out I bought an M rated game... much less have played them at friends houses for years.

I hate pre-AP ELA and algebra. Remind me again HOW we're gonna ever use annotating in the real world?

Its funny, I had the exact opposite situation, I got Diablo Battle Chest when I was only 7.

Lol, I'm in a similar situation here... Except I'm allowed to play Teen games at least I'm not allowed to watch R movies either despite being 16... Hell I I'm allowed to swear, but not see it in movies/games!? wdf is going on here?

Heck as of next week probably I'll be able to drive, I'm allowed to swear, I'm allowed to listen to Eminem/50 Cent, hell I even have a date next weekend... But I can't watch R movies or play M games... wdf is up with that?

I wasn't allowed to listen to explicit lyrics either.

R rated movies it depended. If it was just violence or swearing I could watch once I had turned 16. Sex or nudity was a no go.

I hate IB. Oh so much. Bloody IB. I fell such great resonance to the below:

“YOU SHALL NOT PASS!”

~ Gandalf on IB

“I would commit suicide, but I have no freaking time.”

~ IB student on the IB program.


The International Baccalaureate, also known as Intergalactic . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ., is a graduating course for those students who enjoy an incredible amount of pain and torture before they kill themselves,

The program consists of forcing the unsuspecting teenagers to partake in Satanic rituals known as Internal Assessments and Extended Essays in which they molest children. It also contains so called "Oral commentaries" and "Oral presentations" which involve giving oral sex to your teacher non-stop for half an hour without taking a breath. It is said that the only way to totally complete such rituals with a high mark is to sell your little brother or sister's body to the Devil, or to Frank Entis. Finally, after living off intravenous caffeine injections for years, the students are subjected to tortures known as the Final Exams, which they do not feel ready for due to several years' insomnia (due to the caffeine). The Italian writer Dante has called IB the 29th circle of hell.

Mathematics:HL: By substituting 2 for 1, find the exact value for 1+1. Hence prove that 0 = 1 and derive an expression for an infinitely null existent non-existing value for theta. You have pi minutes to complete this exam, which is simultaneously an infinite and null value of time. You are now in a black hole. Find the mathematical equation that can prove you are in a different dimension. Prove that nothing exists.

Alternatively, find the equation of a line that does not exist (hint: let a = 7) and prove beyond a reasonable doubt to a kangaroo court that said line trisects a certain point (which also doesn't exist).

For extra points, find the equation of the planet that doesn't even exist in this universe. Use 16 variables: a, b, c, x, y, z, pi, theta, alpha, beta, gamma, mamma, yo momma, miu, mew, mewtwo and mambo. Find the equation of the distance between the sun and the Nebula Galaxy. You are not allowed to use a calculator.

Why??? Oh why did I take the IB?? WHY!!

Hahaha!

What were you thinking when you picked that?!

 

[ArneHD]

No. French. In. IB.

I'm so close to finishing the essay, so close, only a little bit more now concluding my unification of Radical Behaviorism and mainstream philosophy.

[Eran of Arcadia]

The media won't shut up about Notre Dame's football team.

Yeah. They're bad. I get it. Why are they still getting twice as many headlines as any other team? It feels like they get more headlines than everyone else combined. Including the ones that are, you know, winning? Big article over at cnnsi.com about how Weis is a terrible coach (well, all I can say is the Browns better start Quinn soon, he is clearly a god among men) and the offense is ranked last nationally. Well, do they do a story every year about how bad the coach of the team with the worst offense is? Media outlets that aren't even actually about sports are going on about how Weis is the worst human being ever, etc. etc.

Now, I am, of course, a Notre Dame fan. I went there. Graduated. But whether good or bad, I always found the excessive media hype tiring. And this is ridiculous. I mean, shut up already.

 

[Mirc]

I can't believe how rich and famous some people can get from stupid things... While much better ones get ignored.

 

[Integral]

I won't get my Intermed Micro exam back until after Thanksgiving break.

Considering that this one exam pretty much determines how my first two years of college go, it's slightly nerve-racking.


______________

lol @ IB.

Good luck to the class of 2008! Everything gets easier after you send in the applications. Work hard for just a bit longer, and you can relax after January 3rd or so (or whenever the apps are due this year).

Then, of course, prepare well for the AP/IB exams in May (are IB exams in May? ), and you get to fret all summer over the results.

But seriously, good luck to all those applying this year.

If it was just violence or swearing I could watch once I had turned 16. Sex or nudity was a no go.

What an interesting statement... IMO this is why your country is going straight to hell.
Before anyone takes offense, this is a subtle reference to the great movie that is 'American Beauty'.
And also I'm under the impression that you are American. Sorry if I'm wrong.
Seriously now, don't you think there is a problem when violence, gore, blood and murders are 'OK' ? Whereas nudity and sex, our natural state and the mechanism by which humans are made, are not ?

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

As I always say, there is a huge difference between watching something being acted, and the thing itself. Just because sex is better than violence doesn't mean that watching someone else pretend to have sex is inherently better than watching someone else pretend to use violence.

I hate ND, and I agree. I think this is b/c ESPN is trying to portray ND as racist, for firing Ty Willingham. Also, Charlie Wiess is kind of a douchebag.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

See now, I disagree about Weis. I never got what people hate about him.

But yes, I do think that it has a lot to do with Willingham.

 

[downtown]

He's fat. He's arrogrant. He wears (and brags about) his bling he got with the Patriots, a team that everybody hates too. He's an awful teacher.
