Whew it's hot out here! Summer Mini-Rants

After close examination my boyfriend thinks somebody stabbed my tire. I’d be spitting mad, but I’m too tired.

Randomly, or do you have enemies? :eek:

Probably by the same juvenile delinquents who broke one of my windows last August. The heat brings it out of the little shits.

However, since the window incident, we have cameras. I’ll be reviewing tonight.

When it comes to internet dating there’s not enough EEEWWW for all of us. I had a profile once in which I mentioned that I didn’t want to have children. This apparently forced every baby-hungry 35-60 year old man on that site to send me mail telling how I’d only find my place in the world and be comfortable as woman if I had a baby. Preferably his baby. Right now.
Whenever people mock womens’ biological clocks, I just snicker.
I hope you find a better candidate, Kaio.

Yeah, me too.

Honestly, the worst part of this is that it brings out my “pointing and laughing” impulse. I sooooooo want to post his message up for the world to see so I can explain why this made me laugh AT him, not WITH him. :smiley:

It would probably make me look mean and vindictive to do so, however. Oh well.

I’m still getting overtaken by giggles that he actually supposed his approach would work, even though it was clear that it wouldn’t and he basically acknowledged that in his message. Uhhh… then why send it, dude?

Nah, it would just look absolutely hilarious. Tell the world!

Knock yourself out. There’s a blog just for you: Why Women Hate Men

Looks like it hasn’t been in business for a year…

Can you buy the Greensboro ticket and just get on at Charlotte? Or are the airlines hip to that? (I guess you’d have to carry on your bag instead of checking it, but heck, that’ll save you another vigorous humping from the airline in the form of baggage fees.)

Hot!
We are freezing down here

Nope. If you don’t check in for the first leg of the flight they cancel you. I imagine if I tried to get on in Charlotte I’d be flagged and either beaten (kidding) or made to pay the larger fare.

It’s quite the opposite problem here - for some reason, Columbia is incredibly expensive to fly out of. Everybody drives to Charlotte to fly out of there because it’s so much cheaper. :slight_smile:

This is around 20-25 years old but is only appropriate for a mini-rant thread.

Yes, you are about the third person to tell me about this awesome role playing game where you play cartoon characters and you perform actions using cartoon logic, such as pulling a mallet from behind your back, with your success modified by how “cool” you described the skill + your characters skill points.

When I ask the three of you in turn if there are set rules for running across thin air and not noticing (like wile e coyote), don’t come back with “That’s pretty hackneyed, the gamemaster wouldn’t give you lots of bonuses for that.” Ummm, I KNOW it’s hackneyed. THAT’S WHY I ASKED IF THERE WERE SET RULES FOR IT ALREADY. It’s probably the action that most deserves its own table aside from combat!

I still don’t know if there are set rules for running into thin air and not noticing because you don’t look down.

But now that I’ve ranted, I feel better now.

Wow, I did not expect a rant involving Toon.

Yeah. :eek: And frankly, I don’t even remember if there was a set rule on that…

Attention Time Warner Cable: pull your goddamn heads out of your asses and fix my service already! My service has been out since Saturday; supposedly, someone is coming out tomorrow to fix this problem (my neighbor is affected too). I want to know why the first available appointment was on Tuesday - my service went out on Saturday afternoon! Service was restored everywhere else in the neighborhood - why did you skip two houses?

I’m tired of posting from my cell phone, but at least it works.

Eek! Now you jinxed it! Quick knock on something!

You know, your economy with words just a) pisses me off (“What the hell are you talking about?”) and b) ultimately causes you to use even more words (“No, I mean this.”). Explain completely and fully what you want in your first email, and you save us both a lot of time and frustration.

You’re a hotel - why isn’t anyone answering the phone? This isn’t filling me with great feelings for booking there. When we check in, will we just walk around the desk and grab a key and take whatever room we like?

Don’t take the one next to the office! There’s a hole drilled in the wall and they can watch you shower!
