Can we assume that some people have sucked recently in a specific way? ---

> [@Ludovic](#): > > Or if they’re skinheads you can take them bowling. Oh thanks, now I’m on a Camper van Beethoven kick, and thinking that either they must have forced YouTube to take down most of their songs or fans have been slacking, because there’s not anywhere near the amount of music that I expected, considering how many great albums they had. I’d do it, but I’m a person and I suck. /former old-school CBV fan, who used to be able to identify every single instrumental by name. ---

Here’s [a video-song I watch](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I7Q66uWKzU&has_verified=1) when angry at the bastards in Thai politics. (The song starts after about a half-minute.) (Someone noticed it had a bad word, forced me to enter a password, leading to the URL with “has\_verified=1”. I wonder if that URL change lets you access the video _without_ the password.) ---

I got lost in the wilderness once, and would have certainly died if I hadn’t stumbled across a discarded Coke bottle, which I used to dig a shelter and signal for help. That piece of trash saved my life. Yours might too! ---

This thread is probably about me. Aren’t they all? I’m sorry if I made you mad by complaining to the front office. You _started_ the laundry at 11:30pm. The next night’s party until 1:30am really pissed me off. I thought about calling the police, but my next-door neighbor beat me to it. Then there was Sunday night when you were screwing on your squeaky bed until 1am. Thank god your partner can’t last longer than 5 minutes. Not to mention that I caught one of your friends urinating by the stairs after one of your late nite parties. Not to mention the flood in my apartment you caused when you hooked up your washing machine wrong. Or the incessant dropping of bowling balls on the floor – my ceiling. You are the worst apartment-dweller ever! Think about others much? \*In your defense, you get a pass on clomping down the fucking stairs 4x a night. They’re really hard to be quiet on. ---
