Random Rants #XXIV - The Angry Mob

[GenMarshall]

Did you eat anything that smells like popcorn?

No....


...but I did have a greesy hamburger and fries early today

My lungs are still in pretty poor shape after getting all that dust in then. Not to mention yesterday that I had an asthma attack in the dairy aisle because someone who bathed in a gallon of perfume walked right towards me. Then 8-10 people passed me, only one asked if I was ok.

Playing EU3 for 8 hours straight is not healthy.

I've thrown up blood twice, passed out, had my arms seize up, and possibly may never have kids.

Successful day? I think so.

What happened?

I did cIV for 17 hours straight, on more than one occasion.

EDIT: Including occasional toilet and eating breaks of course!

Wait-what???

 

[Mango Elephant]

Wait-what???

It sounds like he got kicked in the groin really hard.

 

[Yared]

and punched in the gut.

Well, the day started off bad. When I woke up, my knees and feet were sore (possibly something to do with the parish festival I went to yesterday). Then, around 4:45EST (maybe???) it started to rain and we might not go to the festival again today. So, the day has sucked so far........

I posted an okay idea in the Alt History thread, and so far NOTHING.

100 years is a long ETA to wait for a torrent file to finish downloading.

My oven's temperature is 7.4% off.

Adjust temperature 7.4%. Or rewrite the numbers on the knob to reflect actual temp.

Rant: Punctuation marks after a % sign look really misplaced to me...

That just reminded me of the episode of South Park and WOW.

You never struck me as much of a South Park fan.
Rant: I find myself with a strong, sudden urge to plow through some biographies of Eugene Victor Debs, but the library is closed, I lack transportation, and the local branch doesn't have any in stock.

Oh crap, what happened?

A combination of whiskey, bagging myself off the edge of a bed, and an increasingly worsening condition all played a part in this awesome experience.

Rule #1 of Eastern European backpacking: avoid Bucharest at all costs. So here I am. On the bright side, I haven't been chased by any rabies-infested dogs...yet.

Yesterday was reasonably rant worthy (as far as days travelling can be). Firstly, the above. Secondly, torrential storm. Thirdly, this morning I had to catch a one hour train. It was 100 minutes late. This afternoon I had to catch a two hour train. It was 150 minutes late when I got it, and 180 minutes late on arrival to Bucharest. And finally, on that train, I had to talk to, for abut two hours, an absoute nutcase. American, rich, ultra-right. It's hard to maintain polite agreement with someone seriously suggesting that anyone crossing the Mexican border should be shot on site.

That's an understatement.

Well, were you at least chased by non-rabies-infested dogs ? That's part of the Bucharest experience.

There was RAIN ??? There's been a drought for about a month now with really high temperatures. I hope it will rain here too.

A 100 minute late train is normal.
A 180 minute late train on arrival, is early.
Also (unrelated) - a train leaving unannounced half and hour BEFORE it should is also normal.
Don't you just hate communism ?

Ah...Friday nights...nothin' like 'em.

I think there was propane involved in there too. (Based off of Facebook.)
