Yosemitebabe, more power to you sister calling those people on two spaces. I have had my fun with those kind as well (never keyed a car).
However, I feel you way overreacted to County’s comment, which I took as humor. So it pokes fun at someone you like, isn’t that what humor is about? Do you have a running feud with this person? Or know something about County I do not? Because that is the only context I can think of that justifies your comments toward him.

Separate; distinct; disjunct. --Sir M. Hale.
Disjunctive; containing a disjunctive or discretive
clause; as, ``I resign my life, but not my honor,’’ is a
discrete proposition.
Or, listening to Rush Limbaugh is worse than taking two parking spaces vs listening to Rush Limbaugh is an indication of stupidity.
Two “separate” things. 
I hope this clears up my intentions yosemitebabe

**Quit whining! You’re the one that caused me to make that unwise comment about Rush Limbaugh and now I have to spend each paranoid moment, just hoping that coldfire will not notice my unfortunate slur of his heroe. :QUOTE]
You must assume responsibility for your own actions/posts, just as I must assume responsibility for mine and others must assume responsibility for having orgasms in parking lots.
Own it and you will become empowered and self-actualized.
You are right oh wise one. Parking lots!! Hmm…I must look into that more. Uh, only for empowerment and sel-actualization, of course.
Oops, I mean “self”. I got too excited to type there for a minute.:eek:
More information than I really need.
Oops, sorry. You should be careful whom you use orgasm in a sentence with. :rolleyes:
I can think of two or three ways to interpret that last clause; I can’t decide which is most disturbing…
My sister listens to Rush Limbaugh. (I listen once in a while, but feel no real loyalty to him.) She’s not stupid and she’s not “worse” than an asshole who would feel entitled to take two parking spaces.
Oh yeah, I get that it was supposed to be funny. But perhaps it would have been funnier if you’d made fun of me (since I’m actually here) and not my sister. Whatever, dude.
I just saw a similar parking job, and I was thinking it would be great to have a marker and a stack of blank stickers. The kind that are really hard to peel off. Just slap one on the windshield and write something appropriately biting. “BETWEEN the lines, asshole!” strikes me as appropriate. It won’t damage the car permanently, like keying, but it would be a real pain in the ass to clean off. And it gets your message across with a minimum of ambiguity.
IWLN, I think the Rush that Coldfire likes is the band, not the talking head. I believe his nick is from a song of theirs and I note there is a Rush tribute band called Coldfire. Astroboy14 was making a funny on your “I’m pretty sure only morons listen to Rush” line.
Either you were wooshed by Astroboy14 or I have been wooshed by you, either way as it is stinking hot here I am grateful for the breeze. 
Actually I wasn’t trying to be funny with that comment.
Ah. I see. After all, obnoxious does come so naturally to you.
Oh! That Rush! I have been thoroughly wooshed!!
Hey, did somebody tell Astroboy14 that I’m blonde!![she runs from the room, crying]
Asshole, obnoxious, my we are the feisty wench aren’t we.
I still fail to see what the big deal was, other than an overly-sensitive Yosemetebabe.
Back in the 70’s, the same comments were made toward those who enjoyed Hee-Haw, or The Dukes of Hazzard. Shows that were wildly popular, but many would not admit to watching them. When someone made the comment, or just rolled his eyes at me (actually it was ususlly women) when I talked about those shows, I did not go into a tissy about it. I just chuckled. The same could be said about professional wrestling, or Michael Moore, and the same reaction would be appropriate.
If I made a similar comment about one’s religion, being offended would be appropriate. Rush Limbaugh is DEFINITELY in the same catagory as Hee-Haw, pro wrestling, or Michael Moore as far as appropriate seriousness. Although many Rush fans see themselves as his disciples, which I find kind of funny.
County is still yanking your chain, and you are still responding to what should have been let go. Nary a day goes by without a comment relating to Rush Limbaugh. You hijacked your own thread.
Eh, I dunno. I get kind of pissy when people take pot-shots at my family. I’ll repeat: it’s my sister that mostly listens to Limbaugh, not me.
Besides, Limbaugh isn’t Hee Haw or Dukes of Hazzard. (Neither is Michael Moore.) Those shows are lighthearted. Fluff. People don’t curse these shows with great fervor and revel and gloat when the cast of these shows have personal hardships. People don’t wish death on the cast of these shows. Feelings can run real high and things can get very venomous when it comes to Limbaugh (as many threads here will attest). I didn’t like the idea that perhaps some of this venom was spilling out on my sister.
Well, with that said, I know you are right—it’s time to end the hijack.
I went to do the big pre-Christmas shop last week. I carefully parked my car within my parking space so as to allow myself room at the back, so I could get access to the boot.
I come back with heavily laden trolley to find the moron ‘in’ the parking space behind had parked within six inches of the back of my car, way over the line into my space, so as to allow themselves plenty of space at the back of their car. This wasn’t just careless parking, to get that close in the tight parking space it would have taken careful positioning. So I had to get into my car and roll out into the main traffic way in order to get in the back of my car.
Which is why said moron returned to their car to find a shopping trolley carelessly crashed* into the front of their vehicle. I’m not proud of it, but it made a point that was needing made.
*No, I didn’t really. I very carefully rested it against their front licence plate. It just looked that way.
I usually park well away from the entrance as the parking is plentiful, I am not crowded and I can use the exercise. Also, allows me to drive directly to a parking space and park rather than meander up and down parking aisles looking for a “good” space. Less opportunity for aggravation too. I imagine Rush tries to get as close to the entrance as he possibly can.
