It bugs me when people insist on using an obscure title for a movie or book or game or whatever, instead of its obvious title or the title that every normal person uses.
I mean look at this dumb thread:
“Elder Scrolls IV?”
Oh jesus christ. Just call it Oblivion like everyone else you dork.
It reminds me how people would correct me when I called it “Final Fantasy III” and they’d all be like “but it’s actually final fantasy 19 in japan and only 3 here bluh buh buhhhhh hurrrrrrr.” Fuck you. We’re not in japan. It says 3 on the box so I’m gonna call it three. I’m not gonna let the japanese dictate to me what to call something.
I am such a crappy parent that my son tried to ask me a question from the back seat and I told him to ‘hold on honey’ while I finished verbally abusing the moronic driver in front of me in traffic. Grrr at myself!
The Create channel is showing a lot of cooking shows focusing on seafood, particularly Gulf shrimp. Is this to taunt us with what we are about to lose thanks to Gulf oil spill?
Did you calmly say, “Just a minute lamikins, while I offer up some helpful driving tips to my fellow driver who engages in sexual congress with his own mother,” or did you scream, “Wait, dammit, cain’t you see I’m trying to rip this non-driving, make-up applying, cell-phone-talking-and-textingm simply-will-not-turn-left-until-the-signal-is yellow bitchhound from hell a new asshole?”
In a perfect world, I’d wish that your SO got up before you that day, heated some water in a kettle and mixed it with soapy tap water in a bowl until it was just warm enough for you.
Then, with a warm soapy wash cloth, slowly sponge bathed you in the bathroom while listening to your opinions on the plumber.
As long as you promised to never name any of your children Francis…
“For I am pent up and full of words, and the spirit within me urges me on. My words are ready to burst out! I must speak to find relief, so let me give you my answer. Don’t insist that I be cautious lest I insult someone, and don’t make me flatter anyone. Let me be Frank, lest God should strike me dead.”
What a frustrating shopping trip - first store had what I wanted - in a locked up corral. Second store closed ten minutes before I got there. Third store had one of the three things I was looking for, but their garden centre till had just closed, so I got to schlepp my big bags of dirt through the whole store to go stand in line for 20 minutes to pay for them. Gah.
Black flies. It seems I’m allergic. Couple of years back I started out with itchy palms (after being bit) and worked my way up to swollen face and difficulty breathing. Then I moved to England (where they don’t have em). Now I’m back in the cradle of blackflydom (Atlantic Canada) and hadn’t had a problem until today. My palms are itching. It’s spring and I want to play outside dammit.
For the love of God, enough wind already! It’s been 5 weeks of winds 15-40 miles per hour all day, every day (with higher gusts at times, of course) and we’re all sick of it. Go somewhere else.
They say they can’t build a wind turbine on Mount Washington because it’s too windy there, and the blades can’t stand up to it. Why does nature not want us to produce clean energy, huh?
I’m pissing myself off today, for some reason I just got into a piss poor, bad mood for no good reason this evening. Overall life is pretty good outside of some small annoyances but they weren’t bothering me.
As dumb as it sounds I think it’s because I spent most of the weekend doing nothing.
Is Obama running for every open Senate and Governor’s seat? You’d think so by all the Obama bashing Republican political ads. And what the hell does standing up to the president have to do with making a void state governor? You won’t be going to D.C. You stupid ego-maniacal cue-ball. Where were all you guys willing to stand up to the president when the previous guy got us into all these messes?
Hey Management: if operational needs REALLY justify dropping me out of my Saturday night and Sunday night tours, why do you keep having to schedule one of the ETs for overtime on Saturday and/or Sunday nights? Dammitall, I can’t really afford to have my yearly income go down by $5200.
Sure, the steward is grieving it (because it’s a bullshit “justification” that you’re not going to be able to provide evidence for when they finally get around to arbitrating it), but I’m betting that the new sortation system will be up and running before the grievance is resolved, and your operational needs are going to have me back on those tours collecting the Sunday premiums again, anyway.
NEVER EVER EVER put on makeup while driving, ESPECIALLY NOT MASCARA. We weren’t even at a light! She was poking a stick in her own eye at 40 miles per hour driving a Chevy Tahoe!
Also: I respect public safety and acknowledge that sometimes cops need to break traffic laws in the interest of preventing/responding to a more serious crime. However, flipping on your lights and sirens to cut across traffic and save yourself the 15 seconds that the rest of us had to wait at that red light is a douche move. We saw you after, you were just tootling along on patrol, not in a hurry to get someplace. Dick.
