I'll go first...

Am I the only one who likes the smell of gasoline at gas stations?

Was there some huffing in your past?

I'm not here to talk about the past.

And am I the only one who now uses "tenuous, at best" and "cogent" offline too?

I've used cogent, and noticed two shows on TV that said tenuous. One was 'Real Time' with Bill Maher on HBO, n fuck I can't remember the other one. I think it was 'The Daily Show'. Been in bed all week, watched way too much TV. As far as cogent, I referred to the femalien as doing something cogent this week.

Am I the only one who uses the word 'turd' consistently? (and I have pretty much my whole life)

I've used "cogent" and "tenuous" in real-world conversations long before they were ever mentioned here. I occasionally invoke catch phrase that goes "if it walks like a turd, talks like a turd, and smells like a turd, it's probably a {fill in the blank -- e.g. "politician", "Ohio State fan", etc.}".

But have you used "tenuous, at best"?

Not while I'm sniffing gasoline, no.

'Its like trying to pick a turd up from the clean end'
'Cant polish a turd'
'Youre a turd. Yeah well youre a returd' end of discussion
Turdle

Come to think of it, I do use the obvious short form of "polish a bowel movement" every once in awhile.

Turdburglar.

Turdburglar.

You're not fooling anybody, Taymelo.

i cogently use 'cogent' in all walks of life. its an important part of my arrogance, which i would also describe as cogent.

lol...am I the only one who thinks buttplow put that on there?

Am I the only one who will honestly, and cogently, answer NO every time some dickhead asks me if I'd like to see pictures of his kids?

lol...am I the only one who thinks buttplow put that on there?


Ya gotta admit, that's cogent. I didn't see anything for "Wal Mart Sparty"!
JUst another instance of Sparty jealousy.

lol...am I the only one who thinks buttplow put that on there?

Nice find.

He should have added the "cogent" and "tenuous, at best" tags so people can find it in their searches more easily.

Am I allowed to cheer for U of M Ann Arbor if I'm currently attending grad school at U of M Dearborn?

I think we might need an "AKS bukdow" thread.

And that sounds mighty tenuous, Mo.

I'm all for starting one in the NCAA forum.

It'd be a mighty cogent thread, believe you me.

Am I the only one who thinks "cogent" is being overused?

I cogent that

I mean second that

Am I the only one who thinks "cogent" is being overused?

Very cogent observation.

These things run in cycles.

Check your PMs.

It's WTF tradition that once an inside joke begins, it will be used until someone is killed by using it too much.

Examples:
Alpacas
Bunch of Punks
105-87



p.s. While I've enjoyed the cogent craze, I find it ironically funny that the first time I use it, (yes that was the first time I ever typed the word cogent) Mxy condemns the word.

Fuck you Mxy. I do what I want.

everytime i use a word other than cogent i feel like an asshole.

ps: does this mean i should cancel the "cogent" brand wtfdetroit apparrel i was printing up?

ps: does this mean i should cancel the "cogent" brand wtfdetroit apparrel i was printing up?

I'm already on it.

Wait until you see the pleather jackets.

Has someone yet designed a UM jersey that says "my connection is tenuous, at best" and also sports a WAL*MART smilie with the slogan "Always low scoring - Always."

Because that shit is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.

<laughs> Don't get your 'net cog' in a pinch on my account!

If it makes you feel any better, I wasn't responding to you in particular (though my post came in after yours). If anything, it was b-diddy using "cogent" the way a Smurf uses the word "smurf" that was causing my sanity to be tenuous, at best.

me, use cogent too much? you just blew my mind, nothing makes sense anymore. up is down. left is right. cogent is uncogent.

Am I the only one who doesnt get whats going on with the Penis lookin woman in the Terrordrome ?

Am I the only one that didn't know that the Ambiguously Gay Duo was voiced by Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert?

I didn't know that either. Never noticed, but I sure will now.

Am I the only one who thinks of Melissa Ethridge whenever they see this thread?

I was going to post that Fool, but I can't get the song out of my head.

Am I the only one who gets momentarily hypnotized by MoTown's avatar?

Am I the only one that thinks the guy that sings that "Hey there, Delila" song was LHAO when he recorded that just thinking about the obscene amount of poon he was going to get just because of it?

It seriously sounds like that was the only reason that song was ever written/recorded.

Am I the only one who laughs his ass off looking at/listening to Tony Gwynn?

Am I the only one who thinks this board is great BECAUSE of the NCAA forum?

Am I the only one that thinks a $0.50 cup of coffee at a regular breakfast place tastes ten times better than a $5.00 cup of coffee from Starbucks or Caribou?

Am I the only one that thinks a $0.50 cup of coffee at a regular breakfast place tastes ten times better than a $5.00 cup of coffee from Starbucks or Caribou?

I'm certainly not with you on that. I recognize that Starbucks or Caribou aren't necessarily the best coffee in the world, but I'd rather have them than 90% of the coffee places out there. Most coffee is that office shit that comes out of a foil pouch and tastes like useless warm brown water. At least Starbucks and Caribou have some flavor in their coffee.

Although I do have to say I take a perverse pleasure in having this conversation at a Starbucks:

SERVER: What can I get for you today?
ME: Small coffee.
[Pause.]
SERVER: A...coffee?
ME: Yes. A small coffee.
SERVER: Just a tall regular coffee?
ME: No, a small regular coffee.
SERVER: "Tall" is what we call our small. There's Tall, Grande, and Venti.
ME: Then I'd like to change my order. For my first order, I'd like you to change your sizes to "small", "medium", and "large". Then I'd like A SMALL COFFEE.

Am I the only one that thinks a $0.50 cup of coffee at a regular breakfast place tastes ten times better than a $5.00 cup of coffee from Starbucks or Caribou?

I disagree with Swami, and it pains my soul.

The Fancy Nancy Boy shit is where the flavor is, not the coffee. For me, it's a $1.09 20 ouncer from Bucky's Amoco on the corner of 102nd and Maple. Half "High Rev Mocha", half coffee, and some french vanilla creamer, and it's as good as my $6.50 Fancy Nancy Boy thing that I treat myself to at the Starbucks in Country Club Plaza in Kansas City (I usually go there about four times a year).
And I NEVER tell the clerk at Bucky's that I have some High Rev Mocha, because it's more expensive. I simply say, "Yes. It's coffee". Besides, she kind of likes me, so I don;t think she cares.

The problem is, you can taste the fact that Starbucks tries too hard. Coffee should not fill you up - it's there to wake you up. I get full when I drink that shit.

And along the same lines as the dialect that you just described: I hate when this occurs at any food location:

Server: Can I help you?
Me: Yes, could I have a small pop?
Server: Sorry we don't have small. We only have medium or large. Would you like a medium?
Me: ...

No you dumbass, now I'm feeling like the larger of the two. How does America survive?

at my old job (got a new job, btw!) i worked the coffee vending machine hard. 40 cents a cup > 250 a cup. 2 dollars a day = 80 a month= 960 a year.

so its a simple numbers game for me. starbucks is ok, caribou is better, and dunkin donuts is king. but i'll take my crappy 40 cent coffee all day over that bullshit.

My rapport with the clerk usually goes like this:

Clerk: "Hey! HEY! STOP! Put that gun away! I only have 42 bucks in the cash register!"

dunkin donuts is king

Fully agreed. As soon as I can find a Dunkin Donuts that serves "coffee with cream" instead of "a gigantic cup of coffee-flavored cream" I am going to be in heaven. Easy on the milk pump there, Ramakrishna.

Am I the only one who can't stand the taste of coffee?

And we can agree on this. Cheap and good.

Let me explain to you why coffee is so great.

First of all, coffee and pastries go together like nothing else in the world. Have a cookie, drink some coffee, have more cookies. Milk is okay, but coffee is so much better. It's the perfect balance. A little bit of sweet, a little bit of bitter, it makes the world a wonderful place. Except if you are one of those abominations who puts sugar in your coffee, because in that case you are wrong and bad and should pray to the coffee gods for forgiveness.

Second of all, if you're like me, you need to remain regular in order to feel that you are at your best. I get cranky after a few days. You can eat a couple of pieces of chocolate cake, then chase them with a glass of milk, and you won't poop for a week. But you can chase an entire chocolate cake with a cup of strong coffee, and within 90 minutes you're going to be having one of those amazing spiritual shits that completely revolutionize how you live and think.

Third, the "rev" factor. You think you can have a cola or a Mountain Dew or an energy drink and get the same rev you get from a cup of coffee, but you are wrong. A cup of strong coffee contains as much as 175 mg of caffeine and nothing else comes close. When the British started a tea embargo on the US during the War of 1812, Americans started trying coffee instead of tea as our national breakfast drink, and it didn't take too long for us to change our minds forever. That war was a draw, but the British saw what Americans can do with a cup of strong coffee, and those effete homos won't be trying that shit again anytime soon. We've got Starbucks in fucking WalMart now. Anybody tries fucking with us again, we're going to have a Venti to go before we start cutting off heads and swallowing souls.

Honestly, I tried it a bunch of different ways over the course of a year, including sugar. It all ended up tasting like mud to me.

The occasional inane post on WTFDetroit is usually quite enough to get me to shit straight.

That was a truly inspiring post.

It's good to be an American. And the American drink is coffee. Whatsa matta, MXY? Why do you hate America?

Am I the only one that uses the AC in the car totally unnecessarily when it is like 70 degrees out just because it is more comfortable?

It's good to be a Muslim-hating American. And coffee came from the Muslim world. Whatsa matter, SWAMI? Why do you side with the enemy?

That's bullshit. I like my coffee like I like my women: tied up in a sack and thrown over the back of a donkey by Juan Valdez. No Ay-Rabbs involved in either process.

That's bullshit. I like my cocaine like I like my women: tied up in a sack and thrown over the back of a donkey by Juan Valdez. No Ay-Rabbs involved in either process.
Fixed.

That's all coffee is. It's cocaine without the euphoria. You still feel like the most important person in the world, you still talk a mile a minute, and you're still a huge asshole to everyone else, the only difference is that it doesn't feel quite as good.

After reading this, am I the only one who feels GLAD that he doesn't drink coffee? I don't have such an inflated sense of self-worth, don't feel like talking at breakneck speed, or like being a huge asshole. I win by not playing. :)

Am I the only one who can't stand the taste of coffee?

No, you're not. That stuff is horrible. I tried to get used to it for a bit during the first couple months of being a dad but I always just ended up drinking severely sugared cream.

I am I the only one that remembers the SNL Farley skit where they switch his coffee to decaf and he flips out on everybody....classic.

am i the only one who after reading this immidiatly destroyed all the tea on the premise, beer-bonged an entire pot of coffee, and then had to be rushed to the hospital for second degree burns all along their digestive track?

diddy, when your digestive tract heals, and you can eat solids again, you will realize that what you just did will go a long way toward making sure that America remains GREAT!

You sir, are a FINE AMERICAN!

Am I the only one who would've thought UMax drinks about 3 pots of coffee a day?

Am I the only one that finds it odd, looking back, that Happy Days took place in Wisconsin?

Am I the only one who finds it odd, when looking back, that anyone ever watched Happy Days?

There must have been shit else on TV back then. I mean, what are you gonna watch? Fonzie? Or Little House? or The Waltons? Or Battle of the Network Stars? Or The Love Boat? Jesus Christ, I don't know what I would do as an adult living in that period of time. Hold on with white knuckles until Johnny Carson came on, I guess.

Am I the only one who watched Galactica, MASH, Charlie's T&A...?

That's bullshit. I like my coffee like I like my women: ground up and in the freezer
FIXED!!!!

lol @ Zekyl.

Am I the only one who watches and enjoys that "I Love New York" show? It's dumb as fuck but extremely entertaining.

My wife watches all them shits with regularity. There gets to be a point where you know they're trying to bust on these dumb people, but it gets way too mean, and to be honest it makes me squirm a little.

Am I the only one who watched Galactica, MASH, Charlie's T&A...?

Oh no, man. I watched MASH like a freak, but even more I loved Barney Miller, Good Times, Sanford & Son, Hill Street, Laverne & Shirley, Kotter, All In The Family, and my sister loved The Jeffersons. Grandpa would always be like "get these Negroes off my TV set! Why do you always have to watch the Negro shows when you come over?!"

Me and my sister would be like "No Grandpa! We don't want to watch Adam-12 reruns! Adam-12 sucks! New Dance Show is on at the same time!"

My dad was the same way with my watching Sanford & Son, but he was also the one who introduced me to Barney Miller.

Am I the only one who doesn't like happy endings in movies?

I don't mind a happy ending but it bugs the shit out of me when you can tell that the writers moved heaven and earth to guarantee a happy ending. "Wait a minute, there's no fucking way - that guy's gotta be dead. He just took a bullet to the neck and now he's kissing Juilanne Moore over the end credits? Gaaaaaaay."

No shit. They've dummed movies down so much, I'm surprised James Cameron didn't have Leonardo DiCaprio die by planting an explosive in the iceberg that sank the Titanic, saving Rose and everyone else aboard the ship.

Along the same lines...the writers attempt to put the leading lady and leading gent as far away from each other as possible(DA/Prosecutor, rich man/poor lady, etc) in the begining, and we all friggin know by the end...read the end of Swams post.

Are you SUUURRE you're not an actor?

I mostly hate things that are European, but that's where European movies have us beat. They almost always have sad endings. I like a good sad ending. That's why I liked that movie "The Science of Sleep." This shy, eccentric, imaginative guy tries to win over the girl, but in the end he loses her because his "quirkyness" has long since crossed the line into "creepy." Every love story should always end the same way all real life love ends - boy loses girl.

Are you SUUURRE you're not an actor?
I just like movies a lot.

European movies also have this funny little thing called "originality" about them.
We just go ahead and remake The Longest Yard every 5 years.

Am I the only one who finds it funny the Dalai Lama has a website?

No, that shit is funny. I just heard a report that he likes Hush puppies. Not kidding.

There's a Long John Silver's down the street from me. Mmmmm, hush puppies.

Am I the only one who thinks that Detroit's signature style of architecture is the yoostabia? The yoostabia Pizza Hut, yoostabia Big Boy, yoostabia Taco Bell, yoostabia Ram's Horn...

There's a yoostabia Long John Silver's on Ford Road in Garden City that got turned into a heating and cooling shop, and it's hilarious. I bet it still smells like fried food in there.
