Their argument may be good, but they are arguing something completely different. And dammit!!! My GF is coming into town for 2 days, then flying up to Sacremento for 6 days!!! THEN, she’ll come back and spend time with me. [sub]sullk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk[/sub] ---

I’ve been wanting to pit a certain poster who posts columns from his online webzine (I guess) as Great Debate posts. I don’t think he’s all that sharp and certainly not as sharp as a razor. He also seems to think rednecks that visit librarys with guns in their jacket pockets are scary. ---

Oh, come on! How can you not _love_ a [**Lobsang** rant](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=165129)? Especially one in which you provided the pivotal post that turned the thread into a thing of beauty? I’m shocked, **samarm**. Shocked I say! ---

I am irritated by people who P0sT lIk3 3Lit3 Haxx0rS. I am also annoyed by people who can only write “you” as “u”. I am vexed by people who proof read posts obsessively. I am particularly irked by human thesauruses who come up with different ways to say irritated, annoyed, vexed, and irked. The very worst ones are smart arse ex-pat tea drinking Vegemite scarfing Aussie chicks though, they really chap my hide. Oh…hold on a sec… ---

You know how you’ll be in certain threads, like _What’s your favorite hairball color?_ or _Any advice on how to get blood stains out of my car trunk without attracting too much attention?_ and someone pops in and say, “Well, shiver me timbers, Batman! I can’t believe no one’s posted THIS yet!”? I HATE THAT! So you posted something before anyone else did, BFD! Get over yourselves! I’m also tired of having rabies.
