Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

Whom is an object. Who is a subject. Every time you treat whom as who dressed in formal-wear and use it as the subject of a sentence, an angel has his wings traumatically removed without anesthesia.

 

Chicago pronunciation, from a restaurant owned by short Greeks with long knives.

 

All this talk of gyros...I have a feeling tonight's dinner will be from my favorite Greek joint. (Either chicken souvlaki or the combination gyro, but we really know it's all about the tzatziki so the meat is moot.)

Back on topic, things that annoy me but shouldn't: earworms. I just had to play a song 5 times in a row to get rid of it.

 

Only 5? Must be a bad one.

 

Your what hurts?

 

Butt seriously...

I saw it last night in some ridiculous Breitbartish meme posted in other climes to the tune of "This person, whom shot that person..." yadda, yadda, limbic, box-of-rocks idiocy, yadda, and all I could see was that incorrectly used whom.

 

My wife keeps getting angry at me for my memory lapses and general lethargy and I get really bitter about it, like she ought to understand and be more grateful for the huge amount of money I'm going to drop in her lap if I can ever actually grow a pair and do the needful.

Of course, she doesn't know about any of this, so why would she think like that? As far as she knows I am every bit as lazy and stupid as I seem to be.

 

This sounds disgusting. Even I never could.

 

Well according to the feminist narrative, objectifying women is sexual harassment now, as is even showing attraction to women. But objectifying men is perfectly ok because patriarchy.

 

I haven't said anything about women. I said feminists. Men can be feminists too, you know.

I'd love to hear what rights they think they don't have. Nobody has been able to tell me what rights men have that women don't in western culture.

If I was campaigning for "equal rights for gay people" when we already have equal rights, then I would be glad if somebody called me out on it.

 

I'm gonna bail before the torches and pitch forks come out.

 

Eh, it's just a difference of opinion. It's nothing to get worked up about to be honest.

 

Well it was only Nsync ("Tearin' Up My Heart") thank God. 27 is my record but ironically I can't remember what song it was.

 

I am not worked up, just don't want to get caught up in the crossfire.

 

I know, I didn't mean you

 

Was it Ironic?

 

Quite possibly, that annoyed me but maybe shouldn't.

Earworm back atcha, Ash:


(The official video had really bad sound quality when I tried it.)

 

I pride myself on having absolutely no clue what any of these songs are

 

you and me both

 

No, and neither were any of the things in her lyrics.

 

I like to think that this was the point. She was being meta: the irony is that nothing in the song was ironic. Realistically though, I think she just didn't know what it meant
