> [@wellanuff](#): > > Please, please, please tell me you very recently saw this joke on Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” because I have never heard this joke before and now today I have heard it twice, within about 90 minutes, and if you just dredged it out of your memory independently I am going to have a hard time figuring out what the universe is saying to me. It’s not original but I can’t confirm the Seinfeld connection. It’s possible, but I _think_ I got it from some other source. ---

When clerks at large department stores say “let me check if I have that in stock” instead of “let me check if **we** have that in stock”. You are not the fucking store, I might excuse it if you’re the owner, but even then… ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Neapolitan ice cream. Everybody likes the chocolate and strawberry but nobody wants the vanilla. > > So the white flavor, despite being the most common flavor in the country, is ranked behind the brown flavor and the red flavor. It’s reverse racism! Political correctness is spreading its grasp even into our ice cream! The liberals are indoctrinated our children! And then they top it with their multicultural rainbow sprinkles! I agree with the Neapolitan ice-cream complaint but just not for the obvious political implications. Those are bad enough but there are two other huge problems with it: 1. How in the hell are they making that crap in the first place? Don’t tell me, I would probably be disturbed. I imagine it is some kind of Aquafresh toothpaste type plot but, whatever it is, it isn’t natural and it is obviously a forced assimilation that doesn’t work. The flavors are in the same container but never really blend or compliment each other much like a prison with competing gangs. 2. More importantly, you have some hard choices to make when you buy ice-cream, choose a career or marry a spouse. You can’t have everything you want in one neatly packaged container because the quality of the individual components will suffer. Make a real decision and stick with it. Neapolitan ice-cream sends the wrong message and is a horrific metaphor for life itself. ---

Tasting “real” strawberry ice cream has spoiled me. Has anyone bitched about how Wizards of the Coast is screwing control strategies and making a game solely about creatures attacking? ---

> [@Neidhart](#): > > The injustice of the Treaty of Trianon taking away most of Hungary’s land, resources and population? Wow! That’s actually a pretty serious and hefty violation of sovereignty, and… I’d never even heard of it before. The SDMB has had threads about the revocation of the Edict of Nantes…but not on the Treaty of Trianon. I think you win (and Hungary, alas, loses!) ---

Here’s a [picture](http://25.media.tumblr.com/d7364e03915066a33172146ac668cef7/tumblr_mhjowoc4DJ1s32n64o1_1280.png) of Homer Simpson. Notice anything strange about it? Look at the knot on his necktie. Do these animators not know that the tie goes horizontally across the front of the knot and then down to form the dangling part? And so the stripes across the knot should be turned 90 degrees from the stripes on the rest of the tie. They should still be diagonal, but going the other way! Damn that cheeses me off. I just saw them make the same mistake on _Family Guy_. Honestly, people, it’s not difficult. ---

> [@Neidhart](#): > > The injustice of the Treaty of Trianon taking away most of Hungary’s land, resources and population? It was unfair the way they treated Austria and Hungary as the bad guys just because they had their names up on the marquee. The Czechs, the Slovaks, the Poles, the Ukrainians, the Romanians, the Italians, the Croats, the Slovenes, and the Serbs who had also been part of the Habsburg Empire were allowed to just walk away from all responsibility for the war. ---

Make your birds right Mother Nature and stop screwing around with stupid designs. If you want to make a ‘fun’ bird, stick with parrots - at least they can fly and maybe talk.

All of you bitching about Neapolitan ice-cream have obviously never tasted the real, small-family business organic hand-crafted stuff, like I have shipped to me in liquid nitrogen containers directly from Neapolita.
