    I thought you accidentally locked yourself out and went on holiday amongst the proles :)

    I may have mentioned this before, but it bears repeating: the continued pluralizing of collective singulars. :bigmeh:

    I feel like one day the following will be a perfectly plausible happenstance:

    "My arm are hurting."

    "Your arm is hurting."

    "No, my arm are made of lots of parts, so it's are, not is."

    "Okay, we're not friends anymore. Bye."​

    I think this should absolutely annoy a person.

    ETA: * "so it are are, it are not is." :bigmeh:

    Sounds like the ex-lady-Hammer...

    ELH: My arm are hurting.
    H: Your arm is hurting.
    Thud
    H: Ouch!
    ELH: Are your head hurting now?
    H: Yes. You win.

    The thing that annoys me more than air quotes, is when people make unbelievable three words.

    What's wrong with Air Qoutes? They enhances one's douchbaggery by 10 fold. I use to to look more like an asshole than I am. LOL

    Just saw a TV news report about hundreds of 'protesters' (with signs and everything) assembled outside some music label's headquarters demanding they stop publishing R. Kelly's work. Who are these people, and do they really not have anything better to do with their time?

    Works for him, I guess, but I just read Lee Childs' latest Jack Reacher novel, and his over-use of sentence fragments is maddening.

    Probably people who take issue with the fact that Sony was making millions of dollars off a guy who's been (insert legalese"allegedly" here) going after seriously underage girls for decades. He married Aliyah when she was 15 FFS. Apparently, the protest worked because I just got an alert that Sony's dropping him.

    edited to correct spelling of Aliyah's name and add the link to an article about her attorney, who was disturbed by this and tried to bring attention to it

    Some say he is a pig with a long history of locking young girls in a dungeon for his sexual gratification. Yes, and time could be better spent.

    This is why I ignore social media. I'm not burying my head in the sand, but I'm not gonna stick my face in shit either.

    A friend of mine keeps bugging me to play D&D with him, but won't let me play as a werewolf. "Why not?" I say.
    "Because you're not supposed to be cursed when you start the game."
    "But I'm allowed to be 27, clearly I've lived a life before then. What's to say I can't have gotten cursed in that time?"
    "Plus, it means you can only be hurt by magic weapons, which will make you rally OP in early levels."
    "Well, that's kind of the point isn't it?"
    "And there are no real negatives to it."
    "My character sheet specifically states that I accidentally ate my wife and children. I know it's cheaper than divorce, but I'm also pretty sure you could count that as a big ol' negative."

    Damn. Forgot about that. Still hate it, but happy to read yours if you show me how to record. That was my promise, if I recall. :D
