Things you shouldn't admit on the SDMB

Fair enough. I just wasn’t sure about that. Sorry to be playing Master of the Obvious. :wink:

That’s OK - I probably should have mentioned it anyway.

Upon reading the Hornblower books again, I find Horatio H. to be a paranoid, micromanaging martinet.

Spelling and grammer are stupid artifices. And I think we should have avitars. Please forgive me if these have already been mentioned, as I couldn’t be bothered to read the thread before posting.

In the video game adaptation of Under Siege, you call Steven Seagal’s character Master Baker. :slight_smile:

I haven’t read the thread, but I’m going to post anyway. :wink:

I can’t hear the word “Master-Chief” without thinking of Viggo Mortensen, who played that rank in G.I. Jane, with Demi Moore.

Not just accepted–many Master Chiefs will rip you a new asshole if you call them by anything other than Master Chief. The other brances of the US armed forces are a little more forgiving–in the Air Force, you can call a Chief Master Sergeant simply “Sergeant So-and-So”, although it’s a little nicer to call them “Chief”.

Kind of. It’s in space, in the future, etc., but Master chief is actually a US Navy Master Chief.

Well, in the US Navy there are Chief Petty Officers, Senior Chief Petty Officers, and then Master Chief Petty Officers. The Master Chief is the master of the Chiefs. And like I said above, some are willing and ready to rip you a new asshole if you call them anything other than “Master Chief” to their face.

Well, it depends on the situation, and what you’re using instead. Forex, my ship’s Master Chief Corpsman had no trouble with the generally positive nickname, “Doc.” (Just don’t ask him, “What’s up, Doc?” Trust me on this.)

I’m I’m ever in that situation, I’ll be sure to use the correct term. On the inside, I’ll be saying ‘Mr Chuffy’ though.

I like Judge Judy

What does that have to do with this thread, and since when are white boys uncomfortable in San Francisco?
On topic:
You drive drunk.

So this thread’s been all over the map with joke and serious replies, but I’ve got one that, after lurking in a few threads concerning related topics over the past few months, seems to be a recent trigger:

That you consider yourself a feminist and don’t like it when people think that just because some assholes or idiots call themselves feminists means that the entire movement, concept, and word needs to be scrapped in favor of something less likely to make people assume you’re, gasp, not a nice girl.

That’s like Democrats wanting to trash the word “conservative” because of Anne Coulter.

And that you think that in some situations, yes, women are still discriminated against because of preconceptions about our sex.

I enjoy ketchup on hot dogs.
Bring out the firing squad.

Say it loud and say it proud! :slight_smile:

THERE ARE LIMITS !!!

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I like lamp.

I really, really LIKED Stephen King’s The Tommyknockers, dammit!

And I think the Left Behind Series is grade A great.
Ahhhh, feels so good to get it off my chest.

I think Terry Pratchett is a poor shadow of what he once was.

And I agree with lots of other people that animals never rank above humans.

I’ve never watched an episode of Firefly, Buffy, Lost or Heroes and have no desire to.
