Both have their purpose. Try eating baked brie whilst driving at 70 miles an hour with a Mountain Dew Code Red in one hand.
Apparently when I was just a wee tyke my mom would put me in the shopping cart and I'd reach out with both hands toward the heads of lettuce and say "Salad balls!"
Talking of 'buzz words', I recently heard this phrase: Blue Sky - a colloquial term that means, according to Merriam-Webster, "having little or no value" and "not grounded in the realities of the present." The term is often used in reference to the intangible value of a business. I agree; I loathe them too.
You’ve seen the commercials for Baby Bell cheeses? It’s a lie. The cheese does not come out the wax covering as easily as it does on the commercials.
We cared less about the cheese. The wax is the best part... In elementary school, we'd roll the wax into a ball and flick it at each other when the teacher wasnt looking
My family raises beef cattle, but my husband grew up around his grandparents' dairy farm. He thinks if there are not an abundance of dairy products in the fridge, including and especially cheese, there is nothing to eat. For his birthday and father's day, I go to the fancy cheese section of the grocery store and buy him samples of a dozen different weird cheeses. For his sake I also endure incredulous looks at the grocery store when I buy a dozen cartons of on-sale ice cream. He eats a giant bowl of ice cream every night of his life before bed, and doesn't even have the grace to have a weight problem. Speaing of things that annoy me and shouldn't: Guess who is allergic to both beef and dairy products?
My Dad had that for like 30 years, between the ages of 35 and 65, I think. Then 10 years ago the allergies disappeared. Maybe you'll get lucky later?
I did up a grocery store package of TGI Friday’s mozzarella sticks as a snacky thing for the Mrs. There were only seven cheese sticks in the package, compared to the eight I get in the restaurant. There was considerably more marinara than what they give in the restaurant, which I thought was great, but it still wasn’t enough for all seven cheese sticks.
im annoyed that FB "listens" to my convos but this is a good one tho! this popped up on my newsfeed when i logged on today.... because of the cheese talk
Few things more annoying than reading an article on a news site, then deciding a short time later that you want to quote from it, and you can't find the damned thing. ETA: when you search a news website for a particular word, what possible reason could there be to present the returned articles sorted any other way than chronologically, latest date first?
These ‘gamble aware’ adverts on the radio that try to pass themselves off as some morally responsible, conscientious public service, warning us about the dangers of gambling too much. If this is what you’re doing, why do you have to throw in the name of your betting service every three seconds?
Here's one that annoys me. I'm not sure whether it should annoy me, or not. My guess is that it probably should annoy me, but not to the extent that it does. People who play architect but who aren't architects. I am a licensed architect. I'm also licensed as a building official, and recently I have been working part-time as a building official. (It keeps me off the streets and somewhat out of trouble, as well as supplementing Social (In)Security.) The department I work for sees a LOT of plans coming in for building permits that weren't prepared by architects. Where the law requires the seal and signature of the "design professional" responsible, these clowns pay a hack professional engineer to seal the drawings. They never meet minimum code requirements. We had one project that was rejected and resubmitted SEVEN TIMES before we finally gave up, said "Close enough, we'll get the rest on site," and gave them a permit. It's infuriating. It explains why, when I was wearing my architect hat, I lost so many projects to people who undercut me on fees. They either have no idea what the code requires, or they know but have no intention of providing complete documentation. We had one architect (licensed) who, when informed that his drawings were pretty pictures but didn't provide any actual construction information, had the effrontery to ask if we (the town building official's office) were going to pay him to revise the drawings. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
Trillions of dollars in government spending just this year, and I have to put a stamp on my absentee ballot.
I'm trying to come up with an example of another profession that requires certification where something like this could happen, without success. I'm pretty sure attorneys can't just sign off on amateurs' work, and no doctor would. Being underbid by hacks is pretty common, though, especially in the building trades.
