A friend of mine is having a theological debate on Facebook via comments...
...I love these threads. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
However, I do wish he would just stop it.
COMMENTS
I like a good, slo-mo train wreck as much as the next guy, but I hate to see my friends get caught up in the burning twisted wreckage.
...she didn't stand a chance, did she?
How badly we have thwarted natural selection... ugh.

....not the little black chick? :(
No, no... people my dear, people.
The chickens are just living in their little chicken world.
And probably having a better time of it than we are with our stress, anger and over doing it all around...lol
Oh, to be a chicken now that spring is here.....lol
And rock the cash bar? REALLY?
I know YOU'VE rocked the cash bar.
Alternately, you can sing, "Locking the Task Bar."
(yes, I know what the words actually are...)
I know you know the words.
And I know that YOU know that I know the words.
Do THEY know the words? lol
A friend of mine on facebook just "liked" the groups, "I love him and he doesn't even know it," and, "I hate it when a guy breaks your heart and he doesn't even know it."
To the people, assuming women, who started these groups... you know... guys aren't mind readers and hints don't work with most of us. Have you ever considered... maybe... communicating with him?
Just a thought.

I knew people on Audiogalaxy (Rhapsody when it was still free and FUN) who started groupds such as "I hate AEYE" and the like. Honestly, I never got the point...but some people just have to announce their stupidity in bold letters or something...
Mostly it was because some guy online "played" them, and this was supposedly their way to get "back" at him. Not my idea of a fun time, but it takes all types don't it.
This is one for Thoth... I just received an email from one of my distributors, promoting an event they're having in DC next month.
This is a multi-billion dollar, international company...
The promotion... is black text on a dark gray background.
Essentially, it's like reading this. Nice, huh?
Who the hell designs these things?

Answer:
Some damned fool with an Apple and a hi-res monitor who works in the dark, that's who.
Seriously, don't these people think about the rest of us clods with our lo-res, 6 year-old monitors who have to work in OSHA-approved brightly lit offices?
GRRRR.
LOL- my husband works for a printing company, and I wish I had a nickel for all the times he has come home yelling about this exact kind of printing job...lol
And Thoth is right- it is usually someone sitting at a PC desiging all this stuff, and then walking in and saying "make it look just like this" when that is hardly realistically possible considering the difference in color from one to the other...
that's gotta hear the eyes a bit

...it was commenatry meant as a joke, not directions for you to follow. Let's try to keep up, shall we?
COMMENTS
I think you meant to say:
it was commentary meant as a joke... and I'm bi.
Yes birra. Will do whatever you say birra. What is your command birra?
(of course the above only works if you can see my blank, mindless expression)
...it is 5:50AM. I can't shake this.
Ever have one of those dreams that you wake up from with such an emotional charge it affects you as if it really happened?
Grrr. I need a drink.
...that too, Bijou. It seemed like, "and I'm bi," was becoming its own form of punctuation for a while.
"I'm a vampire that loves blood and I can't get enough... and I'm bi."
"I own 6 cats, living in my mother's basement, and I'm bi."
"Men can all go to hell, and I'm bi!"
"I'm here just to hang out and enjoy my friends, and I'm bi."
"I'm in college studying anthropology and I hope to visit Egypt some day, and I'm bi."
"If you hurt my friends I will become your worst nightmare, and I'm bi!"
Can you just imagine these people in real life?
"Doc, what can I do about this itchy rash? And I'm bi."
"No officer, I haven't been drinking tonight... and I'm bi."
Ugh...
COMMENTS
Everyone is so freaking interested in what I rub my genitals against.
I'm sorry...but most of these kids, and I use that term deliberately, aren't old enough to know WHAT they are yet. Bi is just the cool new label to use and shock people with, like emo, goth, etc. It means absolutely nothing due to the fact that it is thrown around like kleenex around here.
Around here I just kind of treat it like I'm talking to a Canadian and they're ending every sentence with, "eh?"
Bisexual might as well mean experimental now a days. They all just say it for shits and giggles anyhoo. :)
I only have one thing to say... Screw 'em all, I don't share! :P
Lol, very true and very funny! :)
LOL...ahh yes the good ol'e man hating profiles...you all know the ones...they go on and on about how evil and horriable men are..then towards the end of the page or in some cases in the beging they say something about being single and looking.
...I really am kind of tired of profiles with the empty warning of, "I'm a bitch," or, "I can be your best friend, but don't screw with me or (insert idle threat here)."
It's almost as original as the dislike list that includes liars, pedophiles, nun haters, murderers, rapists, nun-hating murdering rapists, overly friendly squirrels, pork rinds, republicans and parasytic bacteria...
...although the last two are usually lumped together.
COMMENTS
Pork Rings? rinds? lol
Love your list.
lol! Ive often had a chuckle to myself reading those profiles, then in the next breath they are saying how they would like to make friends on here, perhaps its not the best way to make friends when half of your profile contains threats??
Those damn pork rinds.
I love leaving snide remarks on such profiles :D
I'm a nun hating republican! Hate me!
You forgot tease!
I don't like subway commercials.
i've never run into an over friendly squireel however...that might be interesting.
I get a good chuckle out those who claim to be BI and or cut them self and if you have a problem with it then F**K off and then in the same breath say they came here for friendship lol
I used to have a disclaimer like that on my profile but then I realized one day that it's pointless. I mean, in real life I can make a person miserable if they piss me off but I usually don't find it worth the effort these days and online you really can't do anything to someone. What is anyone going to do to anyone else on here? "You were mean to me so you get a 1 from me and I'm going to have all my friends come give you a 1 too!" Ppppfffft.
...so "the group" is looking for a change... yes, all 4 or 5 of them, out of 107, that have voiced this desire but have done nothing to make any changes - and only one has even come up with an idea. An idea which is vague and stagnant since no one has put an ounce of research behind it yet.
But in your words, others are looking for a change so "let's go with it."
I'm not going to pat my own back, but participation was next to nothing before I made my first suggestion and put forth the effort (along with Morri) to organize it. Now we have a regular meeting happening and people are interested. Perhaps a little more activity from the official organizer would boost attendence and further interest.
You're the leader - you can make whatever changes you want - but if you're simply going to moo with the herd don't look in my direction to make the changes you want happen.
[/rant]
COMMENTS
I agree with you. We're not standing in anyone's way and people are more than welcome to come up with their own plans, but we're absolutely not responsible for taking their half assed "ideas" and actually making them work.
Exactly - like I stated in my message to the group, our meetings were NOT intended to be the ONLY meetings. Everyone is welcome to throw out ideas and organize whatever they want.
But thusfar all we've seen is a bunch of "we should... we should.. we should..." messages without any substance or plan from anyone else.
Ok, we should... in the meantime, this is what we're doing because someone actually planned it, organized it and puts for the effort twice a month to make it happen, and make it good.
I want to see what kind of effort ANYONE else puts forth on this.
...because no one ever takes action for a good reason, right?
At least, not for any better reason than any of your own... FEH.
...ok, you know what you people are like? You're like the stoned guy that comes up with these self-proclaimed fantastic ideas that will change everything but have absolutely no idea or means to make them work.
It's not productive. Offer up what is needed to make your idea work.
It's called, "Put up or shut up."
I'm starting to think the people who live north of the city are nothing but a bunch of prissy whinners.
Seriously.
They hesitate to travel to the towns south of the city for events. In the past, when I've had to give people who live in the north towns directions how to find things in the south towns, they act lost, like I told them they have to start driving on the other side of the road when they cross the city border... yet, they tend to get huffy and annoyed if we don't have the layout of all of the major roads in the north towns memorized.
After all, the world revolves around the north towns.
FEH.
They're the pompus part of an otherwise very humble, hard working area. You can definitely feel their sense of entitlement.
For example - I had to make a house-call today to fix a wireless network for a customer. Her 15 year old daughter was home from school, not feeling well, laying on the couch and whinning that her mother would not bring her everything she wanted.
Mom: "I can make you mac & cheese..."
Daughter: "Make me a (inaudable) sandwich..."
Mom: "For the last time, I don't have that. I can't make you what I don't have."
Daugher: (whinning) "Mooooommmmmmmm... but thats what I waaaaaaaannnnnt..." *loud sigh*
Uh huh.
Yeah, I don't know what an inaudable sandwich is either... is that with mayo and bologna, or is it just grilled cheese to go with the whineeeeeeee?
COMMENTS
Sounds like she was craving a cunt punch sandwich.
Sorry, it's been a long day..
Yeah, I would smacked her in the head with the bread... what a rude little prat.
Do any of them truly end? I feel like everything is just blending one day to the next.
COMMENTS
They say that's what happens when you get old..
Oye.. don't remind me.
You need a trip... someplace nice and warm. With some great food. Ky was in the 90's today, just saying. ;)
...somehow I think the majority of the problem lies somewhere between, people aren't serious enough about making changes in life and they're not willing to do things they fully expect other people will do if they ask.
It's in there somewhere. Unfortunately, in life it is difficult to change the unwilling...
Yes, yes.. the sand can change the rock, but it takes billions of grains of sand over thousands of years.
COMMENTS
And you know where that sand gets? In all the wrong cracks!
So so true.
Mix some water with that sand and it will wear much faster. Water will always find it's way through even the biggest obstacles. ;)
Change is good. The challenges that sometimes come with change can also be very beneficial and push you to strive for changes that are even better than your original expectations. Take rock climbing for example; Once you're committed to the climb there's no turning back because, believe it or not, it's easier to go up than it is to go back down, and when you've reached the top you realize the challenge was worth the extra effort. ;)
...I want some REAL root beer. Not this fake, sugary, flavored stuff...
COMMENTS
The Cracker Barrel has a brand, I think it's called Stewart's. It is the ONLY rootbeer I will even come close too, mostly for that very reason. Course, now I live in Canada with A&Ws everywhere, and I still won't touch the stuff....
Gawd, I miss Cracker Barrel, and Po' Folks, and Shoney's, and and and........
...thanks to Morri for sending this.
"BUFFALO, NY ( from the WKBW Weather Lab) On Sunday there is a slight risk for a few isolated strong to severe thunderstorms.
Mostly cloudy skies are expected though, and will largely limit this threat, but if there are long breaks of sunshine then conditions would be more favorable for severe thunderstorms to develop.
The main threats would be damaging winds and heavy rain, but can't rule out an isolated weak tornado."
Who writes this shit? It's almost like they're importing the weather from Bejing and having it translated to English.
If they're going to be wrong all the time, they should be forced to make it entertaining. How about weather forcasts in haiku?
Today promises
A great storm forms to the west
Perhaps sun instead
The high is eighty
Sun shine will warm the farmlands
Or cold and cloudy?
Honestly, they've been predicting these big storms here for the whole weekend. So far we've had mostly sun, a couple light showers and a moderate breeze, if any.
It's been downright beautiful.
We've actually been hoping for a nice, loud storm. Heh.
COMMENTS
I would SO read weather haiku!!
You should write weather in haiku for them.
You know I can't count to seven, so haiku and I don't get along well....
I think we absolutely should petition to have a section of the weather done in haiku.
yes!
I would SO dig the weather haiku report/poem.
