THOSE things, which could be the EASIEST to change (if by no other means then getting more than about 45% of the people to VOTE) we surrender to politicians and beaureacrats (SP?) that we spend our entire lives bitching about.
I don't get how Rupert Murdoch took over an entire country. In Australia, you have near-100% turnout, yet the Fox-wing smear machine manages to get and keep assclowns like John Howard in power.

Never sell stupidity short.

"One can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after having exhausted every other possibility." - Sir Winston Churchill

"It's quite difficult to get an American to do the right thing unless you also persuade him to do it for the wrong reason." - Michigane et Telegrafius

Has anyone ever really looked at the incumbency rate of Congress? As of the last election, it's 94%. That means 94% of all the legislators that are up for re-election get re-elected. People vote out incumbents for the same reason they vote people off of American Idol: "Sick of seeing them on the TV set."

When people George W. Bush into the presidency, few of them did so because they had the same political ideals, and even if they did, they were fooling themselves. No one knew very well what his real political opinions were. Anyone who actually believed they did probably jacks off to spy novels. It was a matter of "I like him, I'd have a beer with the guy." But here's the problem: very smart and dedicated people, the people you want to trust with huge responsibilities, are not like us. They are different. Those of us who are normal, slack-ass dudes, we don't see the world the same way as them. We might even think they were jerkwads if we met them, because their whole lives are about assuming the kinds of responsibilities we can only joke about, like Jack Nicholson's speech at the end of A Few Good Men. So what the fuck do I care about whether or not a candidate seems a little arrogant or prickly? All that matters is the guy's resume. I'm not a smart guy but I'll tell you that I spent long enough in school to know that if a guy is really talented, you look past his flaws.

And so people elected him, and the worries started to pile up. The long vacations, the nepotism, the general lackadaisical approach to the job...it all reveals a guy who just doesn't see the Presidency like a lot of other Presidents did. He was pretty sure that it wasn't as serious a job as everyone made it out to be. And bad things happened, and the news media (who had already decided Bush was the Mayberry sheriff who went to Washington) couldn't figure out a new narrative to explain things without making themselves look like liars. So they didn't say anything at all, and he got re-elected and the bad things got worse.

So now if we want to stop the bad things from happening, we have to sell a bullshit story to people so they don't have to do something difficult like learn how the Constitution works, or learn how to understand statistics, or learn how exponential growth models apply to population numbers and tax income. No, no, don't bother learning all that. Life is not about learning things. Life is all about a young boy who grew up with a dream to be President, and how he met the girl of his dreams and...puke.

Do I sound bitter?

I don't get why every fucking caller into a syndicated radio sports show begins by asking the host "Hey, how ya doin'?"
How do you THINK I'm doing? I'm sitting here at ESPN or Fox, babes are throwing themselves at me, I make a million bucks, I get 8 weeks of vacation a year, I go to every big sporting event, I don't have to say a damn thing all day if I don't want to, I can be wrong 99% of the time, and babes throw themselves at me. HOW DO YOU THINK I'M DOING?
Also, I don't get the two minutes of shmooze in every interview. As a listener, I really don't care if Mike Valenti partied with Larry the Cable Guy and his midget amputee bearded girlfriend two weeks ago in Cabo.
Also also, I REALLY don't get interviews with athletes who sound dumber than a rancid pancake. I realize not everybody speaks the Queen's English, but the interview with some dolt who plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars and can't spit out more than three legible words has me running for the "scan" button quicker than you can say, "So, I ran into you at Spago and didn't like your pants".

I hate how dumb rancid pancakes are. Fucking idiots.

They're even dumber than flatulent waffles.

I don't get why my balls always need a good scratch as soon as I get in front of an audience.

It depends on the audience.
If you're a Chippendale dancer, that could be a good thing.
If you're a gorilla in the zoo, ditto.
If you are the President, maybe not so cool, unless you have an intern scratch your balls with her teef.
If you are a professional afleet, it's a job requirement.
CHRIS:
Here's a remedy to your gas problem: Don't go to job interviews, just list your perrennial flatulence on the "handicapped" section of your job application, and maybe it'll get you hired without trying to lie when asked this question: "Why do you want to work here for us?

They're even dumber than flatulent waffles.

I have nothing to add. But, please define 'flatulent waffle', it is a term that suddenly interests me as I am Belgian.

Things I don't get: Why the fuck would anyone be interested in a fucking flatulence waffle? Crepes is close enough to crap for my money.

I don't get why people sit at a driveway to a business wanting to get out and don't use a turn signal. If you don't have the courtesy to tell me which way you are going, then screw you.

I don't get why people buy a new car and leave the plastic plate cover on the back of their car. Are they paying you to advertise their dealership? No. So unscrew the plate and take that crap off there. I have to watch enough commercials, see enough billboards these days that we don't need extra uneeded advertising. Until my dealership starts sending me monthly checks, I'm not doing their marketing for them.

Right you are, Chris! The only way I'll advertize for my dealership is if they give me a free car.
Of course, getting a free car would be the ONLY reason I'd go to an auto dealer.

Sorry if this pisses off any smokers, but too bad. I don't get why smokers think throwing their butts anywhere is not littering. Sure, they probably biodegrade in a few years. but in the mean time our streets and sidwalks are covered in butts. It's disgusting. How the state of michigan can fine you 500 bucks for throwing a napkin out the window but not a cigarette butt is beyond me. I have nothing against smoking, just use a damn ash try. If you want to throw them in your yard, by all means. But don't use public land as your personal ash try. thanks.

It's always puzzled me how actor/country artist extraordinaire, Mel Tillis, has such a terrible stuttering problem whilst talking, but when he sings, it's just beautiful, no stutter.

You think you have all the answers, huh. How about when my kid keeps me up all night, and judges typically show up 1 hr late, so its almost always basically a hurry up to wait situation where if you show up early, you wait a few hours to be called "early" and if you show up an hour late, you wait 1 extra hour to be called "late"?

Not so simple now, is it, champ? :twisted:

Ask Mike Tyson to hug your kids. Just once.

Good one. I also love that I suddenly get an uneasy stomache at job interviews and have to control the urge to fart.

To add to this - when I'm in the gym, when I'm wrapping up a workout and doing cool-down stretches, why is it that the immediately moment that a hot chick sits down to do some stretches as well, that's when the gut bomb starts kicking in, and the air biscuits beg to be freed?

Gut bombs, "air biscuits", and farting during job interviews. Hmmmm
I "smell" a morning constitutional in the air!

Chris:
Nice job on the cigarette thing. I'm a smoker, and I toss 'em out the window myself. From now on, if I smoke while driving, I'm going to put them out in the beer can I've just emptied.

And if you need a way to dispose of the beer can, you just can stick it inside the jar of glue you've just finished huffing.

And then shoot that shit off your dash with the 45 you keep under the front seat.

Nah, I'll just feed it all to the pair of Pit Bulls in the back seat I just bought from Michael Vick.
Damn, Mich, glue sniffing? I don't do that. It's dangerous. But I do at least try to build alot of model airplanes everyday. Funny, I don't finish many of them. I start them, but a B-52, last I checked, isn't supposed to look like Carol Burnett eating a purple jellyfish, is it?

Hahahahaha! No. No, it is not.

Here's my goddamn rant of the day:

A bathroom is not a place for conversations. Don't ever use your voice in one. The only exceptions to this rule is the first line of defense (ahemhem) and the second line of defense (uhh, someone's in here). Otherwise, keep your goddamn mouth shut. Even if I know and like you, if you try to say some shit to me inside the crapper, I'm going to stare daggers at you and say nothing.

If you're having a conversation with another dude, and you're both walking into a restroom, first of all that's a little weird because only chicks do that; second of all, that conversation ENDS the minute you hit the threshold or I will kill you.

Also, what kind of obvious mental defective loiters outside the doorway of a bathroom, talking on his cell phone? I like to grab their phones and toss them wherever I think the conversation would be more appropriate.

And to all those guys who think it's just swell to make noises whilst taking a piss: I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND CUT YOUR THROAT AS YOU SLEEP. There's only one thing in the world more disgusting than having to listen to some douchebag groan "oooooohhhhhh yeaaaaaaah" while he's taking a leak, and that's if he farts immediately afterward. I hope you burn in hell if you do this.

And this is why I'm not gay. This is it. I'm no big fan of women...they tend to mostly annoy the shit out of me. But you know something? I've seen a man take a goddamn sandwich into a bathroom stall and as far as I know, women don't do this. That makes my decision for me. Dudes are gross. girls slightly less so. Girls win.

awesome post

Wait, are you suggesting it's not ok to fart at the urinal? I've had this conversation with my wife and some friends before, and I wholeheartedly disagree.

I'm only mildly annoyed by people who fart at the urinal. I concede that it is, in fact, in a bathroom and if you gotta fart, the bathroom is the 2nd-best place to do it.* But don't make me endure that and make me listen to that horrible "ng...ogggggggghhhh" sound at the same time. Save it for your boyfriend, sailor.

* The very best being, of course, in the presence of a corporate vice-president.

I don't get people who want to light their farts on fire, or those who'd want to document it in Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fart_lighting

What the fuck gives you the right to take away one of man's great pleasures?
Farting is OK anytime, anywhere.
That was a great rant until you went on the fart tangent. Many "Guy Points" lost due to this. You can't sit there and tell a guy when to fart, especially if he's too shy to do it in public and has to do it at the urinal.
What next, you gonna tell guys they can;t jerk off after a certain age?
What are you, TWELVE? You have alot to learn, man. A long way to go.

What if you fart in the bathroom with the corporate VP standing at the urinal next to you? Bonus points?

Let me put it this way: A guy can sit in a dark green cloud of his own fart dust all day if he wants, while simultaneously jacking off and eating a submarine sandwich. I just don't want to necessarily be present.

The presence of other people when one bangs out a fart that registers on the Richter Scale and emits a cloud of gas that could kill everyone within a three mile radius is wasted if there's no one in the room to share in the accomplishment.
It's kind of a "male bonding" thing, and any guy appreciates that. It's right up there with getting a promotion or banging a hot chick. Telling your buddy about the fart doesn't have the same effect as being there when he wakes up in the hospital after being in a coma for three weeks, and you two can relive the moment at which he wandered into your cubicle just after you finished the lunchtime burrito and let loose, blowing him through the wall into the IT department where he hit his head on a crossbeam in the ceiling and was nearly killed.

The thing is, I am not all that ha-ha funny about farts. My farts are so godawful that they are frequently mistaken for chemical warfare. I must have some kind of disorder of the gallbladder or something. Every time I think I can let just a little squeaker out, it quickly permeates the entire room - and another guy wouldn't just laugh and say "who farted?" Any other normal person would know that they smelled something terrible, but they wouldn't be exactly sure what it was, and if they were informed that this smell was emitted by a human body, they'd be thrown into a psychic shock that would have lasting effects for decades. They can suffer from years of substance abuse and unemployment simply because their minds can't reconcile what they smelled with their basic belief in a God who loves his Creation.

Other people fart and laugh about it; my farts can disrupt the course of a person's entire life.

Why does your junk shrink up in the cold but your nips stick out in the same cold? That's messed up.

It's your favorite deity's way of saying:
"Don't fuck outdoors when it's fucking cold out."

Man, my favorite deity is always coming up with ways to get me to hate living in Michigan.

Fuck this. Come on you guys, let's pick up Detroit and put it in a better state. Let's take it to Oregon. Oregon is a little wet, but it's nice. We'd get to shake loose the rednecks, although we would have a considerably larger number of hippies (goodbye OxyContin, hello magic mushrooms!). In fact, Oregon doesn't have a real-as-fuck industrial rustbin right now, and maybe they could use one. I think it's a win-win situation. Does anyone have a trailer hitch?

I've defended Detroit and to a lesser extent Michigan for years and years on RealGM and other message boards. I love this place, but it's also depressing when you are trying to make it a better place and the stupid elected officials can't work together to make it better. This place is a disaster economically and our elected leaders are not making it any better. Some times you just get tired of defending a city that won't stand up for itself.

Unibomber was from Oregon. But he left here with the G family.

I have mad love for Detroit and everything around it, but I agree that politics is really awful here. People in Detroit are resentful (and rightfully so) that the state government is full of Merriwethers from Fowlerville and Van Der Sloots from Kalamazoo telling them over and over again how bad they are at managing their city. So they buy into the whole "them vs. us" mentality and they'll vote for the toughest-talking candidate no matter how transparently crooked he is.

The best thing for Detroit right now would be a general civil service overhaul. Fire all city workers management level and above, and don't allow them to apply for any city job ever again. Call new elections for all city offices, and don't let any of the current officeholders sit for re-election. Bring in the FBI to aggressively investigate city offices.

Corruption isn't necessarily a city-killer. Chicago is a city rife with corruption, and it works just fine. Detroit is a city overwhelmed with corruption. If you wipe the slate completely clean, it would still take another 10 years before anyone would invest heavily in the city again. Since I know it would be impossible anyway, all I can do is wait for one of two things to happen: either the voters change the way they think, or those voters get replaced with new voters.

Mushrooms and olives. Oh, and tapeworms.

Pineapple on pizza. Why not put strawberries and lemon wedges on there too? Pizza is meant for meat and veggies, nothing else. Although I do enjoy Thai pizza, that is meat and veggies too.

People who can't stand any kind of spicy food at all. Not many people are tough enough to hang with the chilis like my wife and I, and I don't expect them to. But if you've had to get rid of Tostitos brand "Medium" salsa because it was too hot for you, you may want to consider growing a pair.

Agreed! I like to sweat when eating sometimes, and the hotter the better. One thing I do hate, though, is that when something is so spicy there is no flavor beyond the heat. "Big Daddy's Bar-B-Q" in Des Moines is great, and he has a wide variety of sauces, and the hottest ones are so hot it kills the flavor of what you are eating.
BTW: I LOVE pineapple and pepperoni pizza with extra sauce. I don't get why pizza parlors are so chincy with the sauce.

No shit, I agree. I know people who get heart burn from green peppers.

Pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, green peppers, extra sauce, and the Cajun Crust. Also, I will be putting this shit on it:

Don't forget the sulfuric acid, Mich.

Don't forget the sulfuric acid, Mich.

It's mostly just sour water, kind of like Frank's Hot Sauce.

No shit, I agree. I know people who get heart burn from green peppers.
When asked how hot I want my food, I say "medium". I'm between "don't dare the chef" and "total fucking wimp". Quite apart from heat though, I fucking can't stand green peppers and don't get how other people can. The smell and taste of green peppers makes me wanna hurl.

I've never been one for hot sauce. I've just never gotten the enjoyment of it.

I used to hate green peppers myself for a long time. It's pretty pungent smell those things give off. Then I discovered that if had a piece of pizza that had green peppers on it, and I took the green peppers off, it tasted better than if it never had any green peppers on it at all. Clearly it added something to the pizza that I liked, so I started eating it with the peppers, and I found I really liked it.

I was a really picky eater as a kid and there are a lot of things I used to hate that I've since discovered I like.

Green peppers
Broccoli
Lima beans
Cabbage
Chiles
Soy Sauce
Green onions
Fresh spinach
Raw onions
Horseradish

There is still a gang of stuff I can't eat though:
Fresh tomatoes
Olives
Cauliflower
Cooked spinach
Radishes
Cucumber
Cooked onions

Basically any vegetable that seems slimy to me does not get eaten. I love most things you make with tomatoes, but not fresh tomatoes by themselves. And I just have no idea how to deal with olives at all. It's a salty, bitter, oily FRUIT. There's just something unholy about that.

EDIT: If you don't understand hot & spicy stuff, try going out and getting some spicy Chinese food and a bottle of wine. Eat a little spicy food, drink some wine to put out the fire. Repeat until it feels like every part of you, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes, has gone completely electric. I don't know how else to describe it, but if you could bottle that feeling and sell it, you'd be the richest person in the world. Food should not just be something you do with your mouth. It should entertain your whole body.

P.S. don't touch your junk afterward. Little advice from your uncle Mich.

My gf doesnt like mild sauce from Taco Bell. I on the other hand, like jabenero sauce and jabenero peppers on my pizza.

I like spicy. I can't do any of the extreme shit, but I like jalapenos, hot (not mild or medium, but not fireball insano stuff) wings, hot salsa, etc.

I also will enjoy the casual regular BBQ. I'm really a fan of all foods, and unfortunately, that means it's only a matter of time before I'm a fatass...

I like to go to Szechuan Empire restaurant in Livonia, and order their Kung Pao chicken. It's really good and they just throw entire chili peppers in there so that if you didn't get it hot enough to suit you, you can just chew on a chili pepper to compensate.

Mich:
Are you saying it's not a good idea to eat some spicy food and then go to the bathroom in the restaurant and jerk off?

I'm saying it's probably not a good idea to cut up habaneros for dinner and then go take a leak without washing your hands repeatedly first. It's pretty much exactly like getting pepper sprayed in the works.

I don't get how some account support people for major communications companies even have a job.

I spent 45 minutes talking to the lady from Verizon because my DSL account was not activated properly and she couldn't find my account. I asked her a half dozen times what account she was looking up since she never asked me my name, and every time she said it came up on her screen. 45 minutes later when she still couldn't find my account she finally decided to ask my name. I told her and it wasn't what she was even looking up. What a moron. I kept telling her she never asked me my name and she insisted she had it on the screen.

Well, as most of you know, when you close on a house, you have to fill out tons of paperwork and sign your name about 100 times. The dude we're buying from whips out his wallet and removes his tattered SS card so he can reference the number each time he needs it.

I don't get why I don't get off the fucking internet and go study for my test or go to the gym and workout...or BOTH! FUCK Bye!

I hear you. I don't know how people don't know their DL# either (unless you just moved states). I had to fill that out so many times back in the part time job era that I know it by heart. Most people don't though, and I never understand it.

I don't know my DL#.

Nor do I.

I don't get my girlfriend.

I don't get your girlfriend either... not yet. :)

I don't know my DL#. I know part of it, but I still have to look when I'm asked for it (which isn't very often).

I don't get why this "419" scammer really thinks someone would fall for this (sent to me in response to an Apartment ad on Craigs list) (For those not familiar with the scam, they agree to send a huge sum of money to pay for the entire lease up front, send you a real official looking check, and then a week later, before the check bounces, they ask you to wire them half the money back, letting you "keep" the difference for your troubles. I'm sure many of you have gotten the version where they claim to be an exiled African king needing your help to transfer their money out of Africa.):

I don't get the people who use checks...besides for bills.

Seriously, they ask for a urine sample when you pay with one. Get a freeking check card already and stop slowing me down.

And while we are at it, I don't get the grociery shoppers too stupid to get the correct size item from the sale ticket on the shelf and then make the clerk rifle through the add at the check out holding everyone else up.

I don't get why demand drafts are allowed to persist in their current form. (They're what make paying by check as insecure as paying by credit card #.)

I don't get why the post office takes a signed credit card but not one that says "check ID".

I don't get why people would sign their credit card. I'd rather have to pull out my ID once in a while than lose my card and have it presigned so that whoever finds it can go ona spending spree.

I don't get why when I write the word spree, I think of Sprewell choking someone.





Wait, yes I do. Nix that.

I don't get why people would sign their credit card. I'd rather have to pull out my ID once in a while than lose my card and have it presigned so that whoever finds it can go ona spending spree.

That's what I am saying. They MAKE you sign it at the post office. It's just plain stupid.

I don't get the meaning of LeBron.

Whatever they say about themselves, the opposite is true. Take this information and go get laid a lot.

I don't get why almost all pizza places show a guy's hand dropping the toppings (especially shredded cheese) onto the pizza in their commercials.

We all know how the shit got there, but I prefer to pretend that some super sterile machine did it, not some dude with dirt under his fingernails that just dropped a deuce without washing his hands.

Is that supposed to make it more appetizing?

Good call. What about the Time to make the Donuts guy. It's been a long time since I've seen that, but I thought that guy was a fat slob.

At the pizza places I worked at, they made you wear gloves at all times.

I take that back, at the first place I worked at, it was a small family owned Italian place and they broke a TON of health codes. Hell, the lady that made the pasta sauce mixed it with her arm in a big bucket. Just stuffed her arm in there and started mixing. Gross shit. But at the second pizza place I worked at, they were big on gloves. I don't think the hand in the commercials ever has a glove on.

He died like 3 months after he retired.

I don't get why peeps add letters to words. Like this guy at the gym said 'I've got an 'ideal' Ideal? wtf? this same dumb bastard always says 'warsh' instead of 'wash'

This guy also seems to think other peeps want to talk to him while they are working out. I'll be struggling to inhale oxygen on the treadmill to stay concious and he thinks I want to discuss the weather or something.

I don't get how when I find out that a co-worker or my wife has strep throat, my throat instantly starts to hurt, too.

Is it a Corsican Brothers-type thing?

I don't get why I didn't hit on the knockout blonde in front of me in the checkout line tonight. Chick even gave me an in and I stand there like the house on the side of the road.

I gotta step my game up.

I don't get that either. Its happened to me. Not that long ago I was standing there gazing at this hottie thinking about what I'd do to her when I look back at her face she is giving me the biggest smile and says hi. I was so caught off guard...stood there tongue tied.

I was always the same way. Now I have no problem talking to them, but that is probably because I am married and would never stray from my wife ever. Without the nervousness (because it's just friendly chatter), it's easy to shoot the breeze with anyone.

Yeah Ive always had a tough time approaching chicks if the intentions are for myself, but if a friend says a chick is hot Ill walk over to her and invite her to our table/bar area without hesitation. Its all mental. Im not married, but taken, and hot chicks dont 'bother' me anymore in that sense.

People who cut their grass at 3 pm when its 90 and sunny.
Hey! That was ME, yesterday! But...

People who cut their grass at 8am when Im sleeping.
...normally, I cut the grass in the morning. Not stupid-early 8am, probably more like 11-noon, before I take a shower. (I'm not sitting high on some tractor -- I have to shower afterwards or OSHA gets called.) What I don't get are the neighbors who mow in the evenings.

Yesterday, though, I had an excuse. I just got my lawnmower back from a friend who was borrowing it, because his broke. While he was borrowing mine, mine broke too (not his fault, he's just unlucky as hell) and I had to go out there and help fix. When I got it back yesterday at just after 2pm, I hadn't mowed in about 3 weeks and wanted to be sure he hadn't passed on any of his bad mechanical karma to my mower.

Pussy.

I don't get how my girlfriend can get mad that I'm friends with a girl I dated 8 months ago, but its ok for her to send messages to her ex from 3 months ago. Isn't that a bit hypocritical? Am I wrong in being annoyed by this?

No youre not, but she may be equally and justifiably annoyed. With some finesse, you need to talk to her and establish that either you both get to be friends with ex's, or neither of you do. Also, if her ex is of 3 months ago I'm guessing its a relatively new relationship. That makes it tougher to establish these things without already driving a wedge between the two of you. If you really like her, think theres potential, etc then I'd have the talk. If she just seems like another girl maybe don't have the talk and just deal with it.

That's the hard part. It does seem like it has some potential, but whenever I try to have the talk she just gets really pissed. She doesn't do well with criticism. In fact, she always seems to find a way to turn around and be mad at me when it happens. I'm really not sure how.

Zekyl:
You break up with someone, that's it. If you don;t have kids together, they are GONE. Why even bother with them, unless you TRULY developed a friendship after a long relationship. But, and ex is an ex, and consider yourself LUCKY AS HELL if there were no kids involved.
As for your girlfriend, so far, you've given some very strong proof for people who think you should take a year off after breaking up with someone.
Having said that:
I can;t think of anything that sums up "some potential" better than "whenver I have the talk she just gets really pissed", or "She doens;t do well with criticsm" or "She always seems to find a way to turn around and be mad at me when it happens".
Sounds like you guys are off to a fantastic start, and I think you should propose to her very soon, she's a KEEPER!

Don't forget that she tells him how to cut his hair.

Haha. She actually told me I was right about the whole situation last night and she was just mad because I proved her wrong and she felt stupid because she had no argument. I win.

Also, have I mentioned that on a scale of 1-10 she is easily an 11. I am probably around a 5.94.

So instead of feeling mad, she feels stupid?

I don't get what you've really won, here.

Lower self-esteem=easier time getting dirty sex.

I was thinking I win as more of a "she finally admitted she was wrong, its an improvement" win. Not really a win, but an improvement more or less.

Why do they have to put tags on the neck/collar of a shirt? They should put them on the bottom side seam so they don't itch your damn neck the whole time.

I don't get why construction workers pretend to be bums so that I'll buy them an ice cream.

I don't get why you would buy a bum an ice cream.

Didn't. Just some dude on the street was playing like he was homeless and when I walked by was like "Man I'd really like an ice cream." I later found out that the dude is always there and that he isn't homeless but a construction worker.

Go back and hit him in the face with an ice cream cone. It's the only way to make this right and save your pride.

I'm sure that'd be fun but since the dude begs for change when he isn't homeless, I think pride is pretty low on his priority list.

I don't get why it's so easy to think highly of a chick and assume she's slobin' the knob of some loser all at the same time.

Agreed.....


I don't get cheating. If you arent happy in your situation, just leave it. What's the point of setting yourself up in a terrible situation and setting up your loved ones to be hurt horribly? Be committed or be single.

...I like to live dangerously. >_>

Agreed.....

I agree. The only way it makes sense is if the cheater is married to a "bread winner" and doesn't want to lose that money. I still think you should just leave either way if you are considering cheating.

Agreed.....

You aren't cheating because you're not happy. That's just the excuse to get into her pants.
You cheat because you want some strange. Sheesh, you guys have so much to learn.

I especially like using the "I'm going to see my mom in the hospital" excuse.

Try this one: "Honey, I scored some new barfly from the "Spoon and Rectum Pub", can you please go sleep on the couch so we can have a little fun?"

You know what, that just might work. After all, honesty is the best policy. And for an April Fool's prank (or her birthday) I'll give her a copy of the sex tape.

I also figured if I told my girlfriend the girl from the pub only looks a little better than her she'd forgive me.

You know what girls also like? If you just run up to them on the street, and kick them in the butt. Try it sometime.

Nah, I'll just use my penis.

We need a dirty joke thread.

Very much so.....

Why do I always have to go #1 and #2 at the same time? Is it too much Diet Coke? (I always end up taking a leak first to see if it relieves any of the pressure.)

Every time I have to pee or shit it burns. So thank god I never had to do both at the same time.

I don't get why you haven't had a doctor check that out, if it's persistent.

You already know what I was gonna say...

I love sweet pickle relish, but can't figure out why they put it in squeeze bottles. It just doesn't work.

I don't get in baseball, when there is rain after the 5th inning, what criteria is used to decide whether to call the game and make it final or to suspend it to be finished later.

I think its if both teams bat in the inning. If the home team cant get to the plate in the bottom of the inning its rescheduled. I may be wrong though.

I don't get why it take my dog 5 minutes to find a place to shit. He'll pee on every tree we walk by, but when you take him out in the back yard to shit he's suddenly choosey about where he goes.

I don't get why people veto trades in fantasy sports. I mean who gives a shit really!

I don't get why TV controls would be embedded in the side of a Stryker-made hospital bed at upper-arm level. If you're actually lying in the bed, you have to have your opposing hand cross your body and wedge between your upper arm and the bed to hit the fucking controls. I was visiting someone who had an unexpected trip to the ER over the weekend, and watching them try to change the fucking channels was painful.

Wow, I've never seen them that way. That sucks. Most of the ones I have seen are little corded remotes that have the speakers right there on them. BTW, I think they should put headphone jacks on those things because they sound like shit thru the remote and you have to jack it up so loud it defeates the purpose of not having the TV sound on.

Why my girlfriend lies and tries to hide things that are blatantly obvious. I've got a 3.92 gpa, I'm not stupid bitch......

Don't worry, it's ending soon enough.

I don't get it. With a 3.92 GPA, I'd expect that you'd know the syntax is:

"I'm not stupid, bitch......"

or maybe:

"I'm not a stupid bitch......"

:) ;) :)

Good luck with the woman.
Be sure to have one last good fuck as you terminate the matter.

I don't get why someone would expect someone to use proper english when talking about a girlfriend that made him mad.

:) ;) :)

I saw that after I posted but I was too lazy to go back and fix it. The only reason I haven't already ended it is because I have 2 tickets to California leaving Thursday and they're not refundable or transferable. I figure I might as well go have a good time in Cali before I tell her she's been a bitch and she can get out of my life. Is that wrong?

Did I make the right choice in still taking her to Cali with me?

On one hand, I'd rather not go alone, since that would make for a fairly boring trip. Why not have one last week of fun before I end it, right?

On the other hand, I bought her the ticket to California as her birthday present. I'm pretty pissed she A) thinks I'm too stupid to figure out what's going on and B) continues to lie to my face. I could have pulled the "teach that bitch a lesson" card and waited until Wednesday to say "oh by the way, you're a lying bitch and you aren't going."


Thoughts?

I'd take her as long as you can get a lil while on the trip. If not, leave her at home. See how nasty you can go.

As long as you can get a lil while on the trip.
Shouldn't be a problem.

Who knows, maybe the trip will go well and things will work out.




















I really hope I'm not that stupid

Absolutely, it didn't sound like there was much of a chance. Good luck for sure.

People who lie to your face, repeatedly, even when it's obvious what they're up to, are just fucking sad. SEVER.

Zekyl, I think I told you to give this broad the high hard one up the ass and then give her the heave ho a long tome ago.
You want to bed hop and end up miserable and married by the time you're twenty five, go ahead. Just don't give us this crap every time you meet some new bimbo at the bar and think she's The One.
There's a fucking good reason all us old guys wish we were single again, you know.

Don't listen to him Z, we haven't had a good pussy whipped bitch in here since Unibomber was posting.

I would definitely facially humiliate her first.

Let that be your lasting impression of her.

I don't get why people say "let's see if we can't do ____"

WTF is that shit? Let's see if we can, not if we can't. I had a teacher that said that all the time..."Let's see if we can't get this done in the next 20 minutes"

Of course we can try and not get it done. How about trying to do it?

I'd take her as long as you can get a lil while on the trip. If not, leave her at home. See how nasty you can go.
If you want to be nasty, leave her in California.

If you want to be nasty, leave her in California.

Tell he if she doesn't do a three way, back door or any other fantasy you might have that you'll leave her there.

She'll either put out or you'll have a good fight. Can't say which would happen. Probably the latter with threats. Might want to just suggest the fantisy first and see if she's game.

Try to get as much out of it as I can first? Works for me. I'm always open to suggestions.


Chris, that's kind of like when people say "I could care less". Oh, you could care less? That means you care. If you didn't care, you COULDN'T care less. That drives me nuts.

Agreed. I have all sorts of little pet peeves like that... Like when somebody says, "Yeah, I seen it yesterday!"

Everytime someone does that, I need to count to 10.

oknotreally but it irks me

I've started correcting people. It pisses them off, but then they think about it the next time they say it. Then I don't have to hear that shit as much.

Some times I bust people's balls on the whole Pop vs Soda debate just to mess with them. I ask them where it says "pop" on the can and they can't find a justification. That one doesn't irk me (everyone says pop here), but I can still have fun with it.

Soda pop still is king.

And maybe people think Meijer"s" is owned by a dude named Meijer?

And maybe people think Meijer"s" is owned by a dude named Meijer?

It was/is.

It used to be known as "Meijer's Thrifty Acres" (Fred Meijer was the founder). Maybe the "'s" is a carryover from that?

I did not know that. Continue dropping knowledge on the children Glenn.

And here's what I don't get...how is it I can be so manly but have the ass/hips of a woman?

Sounds good enough to me. I just called it that because that's what I was used to hearing it be called by everyone.

how is it I can be so manly but have the ass/thighs of a woman?
Glad you shared......

What exactly does it mean to have the ass/thighs of a woman?

I did not know that. Continue dropping knowledge on the children Glenn.

Actually I was wrong, it was founded by Hendrik Meijer, Fred (who runs the place now) is his son.

Lots of good Meijer's info here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meijer

Wow, I did not know that. Continue dropping knowledge on the children Glenn.

And Zekyl, wide hips (don't know why I said thighs) and a big ass.

Ahh, that makes much more sense.

Yeah, I'm tired. Trying to make it to and after the All Star game. I accidently bet on Magglio's first AB to be a double when I meant to bet on a single. :(

I hate that too. I also hate when people pluralize Meijer. I'd say %90 of people I know say "I went to Meijers"

I hate this shit. This is STRICTLY a punk-ass hillbilly thing.

My next-door neighbor has been a proud employee of Ford's for 20 years. He tells me this shit every time I see him, along with how much he likes White Castle's. The next time he tells me this I am going to set him on fire.

No, its Dearborn's Heights........

I hate this shit. This is STRICTLY a punk-ass hillbilly thing.
No, as Glenn pointed out, for decades, "Meijer's Thrifty Acres" was referred to as "Meijer's".

In general, the business of how and when to apply "'s" is murky and complex. That "'s" isn't just a possessive/genitive, but a clitic, and not STRICTLY punk-ass hillbilly by any means. The practice of referring to a business with a trailing 's" (or just trailing "s" with the once-possessive apostrophe being long gone) is big in the UK. But, if you want to feel better about the hillbilly aspect:

If he can survive a steady diet of White Castle food, I doubt that mere terrestrial fire will have any effect on him.

This is more of a "thing I never got".

So I was driving in to work today and happened to think of the Marijuanna thread and then started thinking of all the different names for the sticky. I got a little off track with "houka" which isn't marijuanna and that lead me to "the hunka chunka" which is what Sylvester Stallone calls sex in Demolition Man. That lead me to thinking of having mental sex with Sandra Bullock, like happens in the movie, and that lead me to this revelation.

All the women in that hypothetical world are virgins.

It's like the Muslim version of heaven for martyrs. I never would have guessed they served Taco Bell there.

All the women in that hypothetical world are virgins.
Holy shit, I never caught that before. Very interesting.

All the women in that hypothetical world are virgins.


All the people in the cities, yes. The outcasts below ground (led by Dennis Leary) drove cars manually, smoked, had sex, etc that everyone else didn't do.

Still pretty wild to think all those people up there were "untapped" resources. And not just virgins either, those people never kissed at all either.

Shit, that's old stuff. It goes back to the Fifties, with the robotic, dress wearing, made up June Beaver housewife who looked like she hadn;t had sex since the catholic church was invented.

Like Pleasantville.

(Good flick, btw)

Sandra Bullock was a virgin cop. June Clever had 2 kids. They are not even close to the same.

I don't get why my buddy played the 'This is about me, not you' when breaking up with his squeeze over the weekend. It didn't soften the blow. Just break up.

I don't get why cashiers give you dollar bills and then the change after that in drive thrus. The damn coins just slide off the dollar bills and onto the ground where you can't get to them unless you get out of your car and walk back. Give the damn coins first, then put the bills on top of them.

I don't get why I never want to have the employee touch my hand when they are giving me said change.

when you're putting your change away, it'd be so much easier if the coins were on teh bottom.

--Detroit Lions Coaching Staff

People are never going to stop talking about that, are they?

Well, I don't think they ever should.

I don't get why the dude wasn't fired for being an embarrassment to the team.

I don't get that people don't understand by now that the Lions don't mind being embarrassed.

I don't get why when my wife makes a sandwich, it tastes so much better than mine, when i make them the exact same way.

Your wife is probably sprinkling drugs on your sandwiches.

I don't get why my wife thinks her sandwhiches taste better if they are cut in half.

They do. Its science.

They do. Its science.

I was going to say, 'but they do taste better'

This smells like a poll to me. Glenn?

I don't get that people don't understand by now that the Lions don't mind being embarrassed.
It's obvious I don't get the Lions, then. I don't get idiots who masturbate with sandpaper, on similar principles.

I suppose they taste better diagonally cut too?

Why don't you add: "Becasue she told me they do"?

Cutting things physically breaks chemical bonds which often leads to an increase in things like the smell of the item cut (think about fresh cut grass, rather than an ordinary uncut lawn). The smell of food has been shown to greatly effect the taste of food. Thus cutting the food changes its taste.

Like I said, science.

Does that hold true for cutting the cheese as well?

But isn't the lunch meat or tuna already sliced or cut up? How about the tomato? It's already sliced. The bread is already sliced.
It just doesn't add up. I think the real reason women like to cut sandwiches is because they're neat freaks. They are too worried about crumbs and shit.
It's just another form of control.

The part you cut, is clearly together before you cut it.

If they're cut in half, your first bite is not against crust. Nay, it's into the juicy middle where all the goodness lies.

If they're cut in half, your first bite is not against crust. Nay, it's into the juicy middle where all the goodness lies.

I think thats it too. Instead of a mouth full of crust, you're already at the goods. I like to break it down so I take about 35% crust with 65% goods per munch...then grind. You end up with a lil crust and then toss that to the dog.

This would make a fascinating front page article.

We'd be drawing traffic from all over the internets.

And to expound on Fool's theory, today I had a sandwich and cut it into 475 pieces, and yes, every one of them was better than the last!

I made no claims about exponentiality. I simply stated a fact about chemical bonds. Go write a new "dropping the deuce" article that I can ignore.

What? I just verified your theory! I should be hailed as one of the great sandwich experimenters of all times! Right up there with Dagwood Bumstead!
And I've given all the credit to you, oh Einstein of the Hoagie!

The only reason I cut a sandwhich is to dunk it in something (french dip, maybe grilled cheese, etc). You have to eat the crust some time, might as well start there. If you cut it, you are tempted to just eat out the middle.

I don't get why everyone seems to hate crust.

I don't hate it, but the innards are without a shadow of a doubt better. I'd rather start there.

I don't get why everyone seems to hate crust.

Me either. If you hate the crust, stop buying shitty bread.

Do you make a sandwich with the ends?

I don't get why I never watched American History X until today.

Do you make a sandwich with the ends?

No, that's too much crust. You have to have a good blend of both. I give the ends of the bread to the dog.

We call that "the heel" in our house, and those pieces get thrown in the backyard for the birds.

That's my fav. piece, especially on some nice fresh bread. Wonderbread, not so much.

I don't get the appeal of Wonder bread at all.

I don't get how a cheeseburger and a double cheeseburger both cost $1 at McDonalds.

No, please do give me your AOL rant. I have nothing better to do.

Also, I don't get why I constantly edit my posts.

I don't get why anyone uses AIM at all (I'll save you from my AOL rant).

I must disagree with you here. I use AIM to keep up with friends at home while in school and vice versa. And Budweiser sometimes tastes... too good...

No match for my favorite, however (Sam Adams Boston Lager).

Well if you want to be able to threaten people over the internet, AIM is the way to do it. Usually you only hear about guys (especially the dudes on To Catch A Predator) getting busted for doing some shit in Yahoo chats.

I don't know how my penis would function without the ability to threaten people anonymously, seriously.

I don't get the appeal of Wonder bread at all.

White bread in general doesn't really do anything for me either, but Wonder is the worst.

I don't understand why people like that bland, old-fashioned "chop suey" kind of Chinese food. I like Chinese food as much as the next guy, but I'm not going to any place that says it has "chop suey" and "cocktails."

AOL is a shit corperation that charges people 30 bucks a month for shitty dial up, a crappy browser interface that cators to idiots that don't know how to use Internet Explorer properly. They have shitty customer service (who doesn't I guess), they lock down your account sometimes when you get spammed because they think you are running a porno ring or something. They spam you with pop ups to automatically update your service every two weeks, and you cannot even read what the updates are. If you decline, it keeps popping up anyway until you install them. The whole company is basically a piece of shit. I'm sure you could find thousands of blogs with stories about how they suck.

Yes, AIM is a different breed, but they still own it. I refuse to use any service by them because it supports the parent company. They get ad dollars for ads on the AIM window, which supports the shit company.

I chat on gmail or through MSN messenger.

Anyway, back to the "Things I don't get"...

10/10.

^^ Timbeau, it could be that you weren't ready to confront such issues as racism, how it affects American society, and how people react to it. Or possibly the underlying, covert racism that sometimes rears its ugly head in the form of Norton's character.
It also could be that you hate Elliot Gould and the Terminator kid.
And lastly, it could be that yesterday's scintillating discussion on the merits of cutting a sandwich before eating it jarred something in you that made you decide you were finally ready to tackle this very thoughtful and provoking movie.

We call that "the heel" in our house, and those pieces get thrown in the backyard for the birds.

I was going to use that...'heel' but didn't think anyone would know what I meant.

I don't get why anyone drinks Budwiser (that isn't forced to at a stadium).



Blasphemy.

Why? It's one of the worst main stream beers out there (and I'm not talking about the bargian beers like Nat Light and Milwaukees Best).

If you were given a free case of regular priced beer (in the $10/12 pack range), what would you pick?

Bud? That would be near the bottom of my list. I'd rather drink almost any canadian beer, any miller product, and plenty more. I prefer ales anyway, but Bud is one of the worst tasting beers for it's price IMO.

Everyone has their own preference, but I think the bulk of Bud drinkers simply like it because of its availability really. They started drinking it because their buddies got a keg of it, or that's what the stadium serves, or something like that.

Mostly joking but my Uncle drank Bud. The drinking age in Mich when i grew up was 18, which meant some were indulging by 16 and a half or so. Its kind of like your first girlfriend.

Bud was my beer for prolly 15 years. But there wasn't a lot to choose from back in the day.

Now-a-days its Fosters, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and an occaisional Bud or even Coors Light.

Not sure bout this but there does seem to be more Canadian beers in Mich than out here.
