    When people are stupid and they're not using their "there's" correctly over there.

    I'm trying to get in to soccer, but geez, I haven't seen so much whine-baby flopping since Bill Laimbeer played for the Pistons. In American football we don't fake injuries unless the offensive line needs a blow.

    The fact that I can remember random facts (like the year Putin was born, since I was reading a book where a character asked a question about Putin’s birth and I looked it up myself), but God help me if I try to remember something important from a week ago.

    I know this one. I know the battle of Hastings was in 1066, but I can't remember what day I last went out! :rolleyes:

    "Pet parents." No. Unless you actually sired that Weimaraner, you're an owner, not a parent.

    Any kind of baby would grate on my annoyance meter. No matter how cute, the best part about em is handing them back to their parents. :p

    I suppose I am anti-fur baby. And maybe just a touch anti fur after that statement. :D

    I actually find people with real babies more annoying that people with pets who they consider babies.

    Also, people who use their phone by holding it in one hand and operating it with the index finger of the other. We didn't spent billions of years evolving opposable thumbs for that shit.

    The plain fact that all professional golfers could play the game better than I do if they were blindfolded

    I had a friend when I lived in Victoria who was a fair-to-middlin' golfer. I'm the worst golfer for parsecs around, so I wouldn't play against him. Finally, he said, "Look, I'll make it easy for you. I'll play left-handed!"

    He STILL beat me. By a lot.

    When I read stuff that makes me do this...



    I am so sorry Minstrel, if it makes you feel better, you could most likely beat me as I would get tired of playing golf after the third hole.

    Local news anchors who never miss an opportunity to tell me what to do: "Don't drink and drive."; "Bring your pets indoors when it's cold"; "Drink plenty of water during this heat wave."

    Suck it, cupcake, I don't take orders from you.

    The fact that one of the foreign news outlets reported today's events as "Deadly Earthquake Strikes Japan, Hundreds Injured."

    Nothing in that headline is false, however.... At present, there are three known fatalities, no building collapses, and most of the "injured" that I've seen on the TV fit into the category of "bumps and bruises." No, we shouldn't marginalize a level 6 earthquake. It was fucking scary, but the city isn't in flames, the hospitals aren't doing triage in the parking lots, and pretty much everyone got home for dinner, if somewhat late.

    Totally fixable, and an awesome hobby! Lorry is what I saw in post above, leading me to believe it was a collectable antique. I'm inspired to get my RCs out! Those look like hobby shop parts. ..

    Looks like you could fix it with a piece of a zip tie.

    You can't tell me what to do! You're not my real mom! (Use that one on my friends all the time and they always seem very confused)
