May the rant be with you (May 2012 rant thread)

You’re right. {Hangs head in shame.}

flatlined?! WTF? Where are you…?

Well, flatline did warn us that it wasn’t good enough for a MPSIMS post…

The Rat King ate the internet!

I wish flatlined wouldn’t do this to us…

Ok, no more Phentermine or anything like it. The side effects on me are unbelievably frightening. :eek::eek::eek: I never want to experience anything like that again.

Doc, you’re already on thin ice with me. If don’t listen (again) and keep pushing this shit on me, I’m done with you. I will follow my own oft-repeated advice regarding professionals.

I think my a/c broke. At least, it was making a weird noise when I came home and, despite being on and the temperature inside being higher than the thermostat trigger, the fan on the condenser unit wasn’t spinning.

Ok, it is now officially not funny. Did we all just witness a heart attack? Was that her ultimate post?
(I hope she’s actually running to a neighbor’s to finish her post, after a feral cat bit her Ethernet cable…)

I know what’ll get her back: Man, I just made a PB/Mayo/Bacon/Blackberry Jam sandwich. I swear, it is the Penultimate Snack!

…at least that’s what my Auntie Penult used to say.

Didn’t she say something about her power going out about a week ago? Tho why that would result in a chopped off post… :confused:

Very weird. I hope she’s ok.

I’m guessing it was a penultimate joke, too. If so, she needs to GET BACK IN HERE AND TELL US!

:slight_smile:

I thought this was going to be referring to Penultimate Thule.

Fucking scumbag doucebag ticket scalpers need to be placed on a boat, drifted onto the ocean and bombed into fucking oblivion.

So my favourite band, The Gaslight Anthem, is coming to Toronto. I e-mailed the venue to ask when tickets would go on sale. They told me May 25 (today). 10 am this morning I’m at Ticketmaster but couldn’t get any. WTF? Checked the “on sale date & time” tab - THEY FUCKING WENT ON SALE MAY 24 - yesterday - and now they’re all fucking sold out. Called the other places in Toronto that sell them (would have made a road trip tomorrow) and they’re sold out too.

OH BUT…LOOK…the fucking “RESELLER” sites have them for like $100 US - 4x the face value of $23 CDN.

FUCKING SCUMBAGS. How are those “reseller” (read SCALPER) sites even allowed to exist? Self-serving pricks depriving actual FANS of seeing their favourite bands for the actual price of a ticket. May they all burn fiery deaths in the depths of fiery hell.

Well, her profile shows that she logged in yesterday at 12:43 am, for what that’s worth.

Apparently some people in the area near **flatlined **were being evacuated due to the fire, and some are being allowed home today, so maybe she’s just been out of range due to fire. Hope so. Anybody know her IRL?

ETA: she hasn’t been on line since the 23rd, at the time of her last post.

Well, while we’re all sitting around waiting for flatlined to tell us that she, Tony, and all the assorted critters are ok (please, please, I hope …) I wandered around the internet:

"…pharmacology similar to amphetamine…

Less common side effects:

Hallucinations
Hostility with urge to attack
Severe nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
Periods of mania followed by period of depression … "

Well, those all sound like fun. :eek:

Oh god oh god oh god.

The goddamned fucking IRS just spent me a letter demanding over $3,100. :eek: I just mailed them checks for over 5k last month. Assholes. Go after Mitt Romney and leave me the fucking hell alone. What kind of lousy kleptocracy is America where the fucking Republican nominee for president earns so much more than I do yet pays a lower tax rate?

When is the concert? Is there a chance you could win a pair of tix from a radio station?

The kind of kleptocracy where rich people in the legislature write (or at least approve) the tax code?

The kind of kleptocracy where only really rich people can afford enough advertising to get elelcted?

Why is it so hard to get my hands on decent cassette tapes? I only want a couple because my car plays them but anything good I can only get through Ebay or Amazon, and I can’t record them because my stereo doesn’t have a tape deck. Thrift stores haven’t turned up much but i’ll keep looking.
