Mini-rants

[QUOTE=Zambini57]
My mini-rant is about when some “Guest” posts a semi-decent OP and immediately some of the regs start in with the “Oh, please stay here, don’t ever (evar?) leave! Here, let me pay your subscription fee!”

I don’t like overly fawning behavior, such as when someone posts “I love (lurve?) you” in response to some inanity or other.
[/QUOTE]

What about telling an already existing member (s)he’s adorable? 'cause I almost told **olives **that recently and she totally is. She can pay for her own subscription, though. I’m cheap.

Why, for the love of GOD, can I not find shirts that fit???

I have broad shoulders and what appear to be unusually long arms. If I find a shirt that has enough room for both…I also get enough room to hide an anaconda around my waist. And I have quite an ample waist. What the hell is going on???

Who the hell are these barrel-bellied, short arm people these shirts are made for?

I picked up an "“XXL” sweatshirt the other day in a store and I swear that the sleeve didn’t go past my elbow.

I’m presenting at a conference in March, all the way across the country. I looked up prices for flights a while ago, and saw that they were around 350$. No problem.

I look again today - they’re 350$ EACH WAY. Total is about 900 dollars. And I can’t find a flight out late enough in the day to return, so I’ll have to stay two nights (and pay for two hotel nights), unless I want to skip out of the conference early. Aiee.

Is this conference in San Francisco at the end of the month? If so, I’m giving a paper there, too. I’m driving, though. Much cheaper than flying.

LOL, ROFLMAO,PMSL…and others.

Do not fucking post this stupid inane childish spunkstabbing bilge you half-witted excuse for a dead skunk

One of my ratties is sick and I’m sad. Stupid Life.

If I’m going to have insomnia, why can’t dopers on the east coast have the courtesy to post to the SDMB early in the morning? Fuckers.

I try. I mean I was up at 4am on a fucking Saturday when I don’t have to work. I pit my internal clock. Can I at least sleep until five? I mean six would be nice but I am willing to work with ya.

I want to sleep in for once :mad:

I’ve had a couple of minor warnings from a Mod. I’m unhappy, both that I got them, and that I deserved them :frowning:

It’s good to be back.

I would write a mini-rant about being suspended, but I was the only jerk/guy to blame for what I brought upon myself.

Surly’s a little harsh, featherlou - you can tell people to quit sucking my dick any day, so long as they ignore you. :D<snip>
[/QUOTE]

I dunno; I posted it early in the morning before going to work, and surly is probably as good a word as any. :slight_smile:

Nope, it’s in Edmonton. Montreal to Edmonton, mapquest tells me, is 40 hours of driving time - not ideal. Good luck at yours!

Fucking Netflix. Last winter between Christmas and New Year’s it took me a week to turn around movies, which was bullshit and I was pissed. This year looks like they’re doing the same fucking thing, except this time they’re saying movies were shipped on the 27th, from my own city, and they haven’t arrived yet! Now I am sitting here all weekend without any movies, and no guarantee that they’ll come on Monday, either. No, queue, they’re NOT at home! They’re not! Bastards!!

** bbs2k,** you are forgiven and given a gold star for effort.

SomeUserName: Try harder. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m on a committee that has organized a NYE Party for our small community. We have the facility, the caterer and decorations. We needed numbers of who is coming for this party and gave a date for response and payment. Why is this so difficult for ADULTS to understand??? Don’t ring me up the day before and ask if you can come.

Okay here I am. It is 4:59am. The gods have chosen to let me sleep in until 4:30 today. Where the fuck are ya?

Today, bumped into my 3rd African-American this holiday season, who was here in South Africa to “find his roots” (at least these last two didn’t add “Just like Oprah”).

Newsflash, you Kunta Kente-wannabe motherfuckers: The odds of your ancestors being from here is as minuscule as them being Patagonians. Go to the DRC or Nigeria. Oh, wait, we’re the only Sub-Saharan region with decent beaches and no malaria that isn’t a war-torn shithole, aren’t we? Hmmm, convenient.

39

So, it’s my fault that I didn’t trust other people’s opinions and judged them based on “Push the Little Daisies”; but why O why did I have to wait until the age of TWENTY-FIVE, deep into the 21st century, to discover Ween??!!

Fuck. My life has been wasted.
