Random Rants

[Guangxi]

So on the radio, on my way to work, they did a little contest that sounded funny: two listeners were asked to give in turn the name of a currency, and the last one to do so would win. Here it goes:
"the British pound"
"errrrr... the Canadian dollar!"
"errrrr.... oh, I really don't know"
Me: great. Way to go, morons.
Greg Kinth, the host: "Lemme help you. What's the currency in France?"
Alarm bells in my head. He's not seriously thinking...?
"Oh the French Franc!"
What?
Greg Kinth "Correct!"
WHHHAAAAAAAAAT?
Other contestant: "eeeerrr the roopee!"
Greg Kinth: "What? What's that? I've never heard of the roopee! Which country is that from?"
Contestant: "I don't know. Czechoslovakia, I think."
/tilt.

*headbangingonwall* wow.

*headbangingonwall* wow.

They have a sweet smiley for that.

 

[mitsho]

not on the rant side, but that smilie is really sweet...

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I don't get that either

I thought I was talking to myself for a second. Wow.

I hate when my flute has to go to the shop. I hate when people mess with my flute. I hate when I fall behind in flute lessons because I can't practice my flute. I hate that for the next week or so I will be stuck playing the piccolo. I hate that I won't be able to play it Sunday. I hate that it takes freaking forever to get your instrument repaired in the repair shop. I hate that my mom keeps promising a new flute but then makes me wait longer and longer. I hate that when I finally find the flute I want, I have to wait six more months or more so that she can get what she wants. I hate having to be patient. I hate having my flute right there and not being able to play it.

But I'll get over it.
As soon as I hit my head on a random wall a million times.
I do love that smiley.

I sympathize, I really do. If it's any consolation, my sax has been in the shop for over three weeks when it was supposed to be done in one

You don't understand.

You really don't.

More rants:

Last year's Last Supper re-enactment:

Since my church is a small one, Jesus was a co-ed part.

In the final auditions, there was me, a great actor who has experience.

And the organizer's daughter, a bad actor who didn't speak up, had no experience, and couldn't act.

Guess who gets Jesus?

The organizer's daughter.

My face was like, "WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM!"

Basically, the re-enactment got horrible reviews like, "I couldn't hear what Jesus was saying."

Augh. I'm still steamed over last year.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

You don't understand.

You really don't.

I really do. I've been playing Euphonium for ten years now. When I sent it to get a new acid bath, it was gone for two weeks. I nearly short-circuited.

Lol, so maybe you really do understand.

Indeed Cheezy

I do know what it's like to not be able to practice audition music for two bands and being unable to practice an entire musical when it's performance is in a month and I haven't looked at it yet

All I can do at the moment is practice for Drum Major auditions

I miss my sax...and my mouthpiece

At least you have a piece for the musical.
-.-..


Thanks for reminding me moreso of the things I can't do.

 

[Nylan]

I don't have it

 

[Firstlady]

I don't have it

I don't like you.

 

[Nylan]

I don't like you.

or any part of today?

what does that have to do with anything?

Not really a rant, but a question I've been dying to know the truth of. Is ClassicalHero really gay? I admit I am the most gullible person on earth, and I'd believe you if you told me Harvard scientists rose Ronald Reagan from the dead.

Did you know Harvard scientists rose Ronald Reagan from the dead?

Really?!?!?!?!

Any help with the bolded question?

I hate that for the next week or so I will be stuck playing the piccolo.

I have heard that playing the piccolo can cause severe hearing loss in the ear that is next to the piccolo body, because of the intensity of the sound produced in such close proximity to the ear. Be careful!
