“it doesn't work cause our work filter is blocking it...oh yea, there's another one...web filters”

“OIC”

“when talking about disaster movies, and how they "evoke 9/11", usually unfavorably.

latest poplular example is cloverfield. well, jesus. a giant monster is attacking the city, buildings are falling, theres death, destruction, mayhem, smoke, fire, people running confused and terrified. how the hell is that NOT supposed to remind one of 9/11? sht

"excuse me, mr 500 foot tall mutant monster, while youre knocking over buildings and causing death and destruction on unheard of scales, could you please try to not evoke 9/11? some people are sensitive to that. k? thanx. bai"

“they used actual footage from 911 in that movie, which i did find a little tacky”

“How about the express lane sign at the grocery store -- "10 ITEMS OR LESS". The proper word is "FEWER"!! Grrrrr. Just a little pet peeve of mine.”

“¡°they used actual footage from 911 in that movie, which i did find a little tacky

“not sure, i didn't see the movie...i am just going off a report i heard on NPR”

“well, i couldn't find anything on it...maybe i just heard the report wrong”

“thats how urban legends happen. maybe we should start this one”

“im gonna go spam everyone in my contact list right now”

“sounds great...add something about a little boy being sick and needing your help and it will be gold”

“he's sick because he saw an advert for the movie and thought it was real, and now he's too scared to get better”

“...and when they developed the film there was an image of Mohammed Atta in one of the broken windows.”

“...but if you pass this message along Bill Gates will send everyone a free can of RC cola that will only make certain minorities sterile.....”

“AND YOU CAN SEE A MUNCHKIN COMMIT SUICIDE WHILE THEY DANCE DOWN THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD!”

“I am getting tired of these Da#n Ring Back Tones....sitting there listening to crappy music while the phone "searches" for someone......”

“Not all of them, just these:

-Colored ones, especially pink.

-Teeny Tiny ones.

-The ones that are hooked together. I just want a paperclip, dammit. I don't want to have to perform a friggin' chinese puzzle every time I want ONE.”

“Note to self:

Send NC a box of paperclips, all attached to one another.”

“I TRIPLE DOG DARE YA!”

“a pink and green paperclip chain.

By the way, my pet peeve is when people like my dad say Chicargo and Warshington. Melts my brain.”

“i attatche all teh paperclips together at work to annoy my co-workers when I'm bored. Helps pass the time.”

“Yo Currahee, I kept quiet about your "delish".

LOL!!”

“Delish is one of my favorite words as well as Fandamntastic and brilliant.”

“I hear ya Currahee. My mother in law can't pronounce Michigan. The ch becomes a hard "chuh" sound.”

“Don't say warsh either. The correct spelling of the word is wash. I do not see a r there.”

“fandamntastic - A friend of mine will like that. He made up sucksessful for when you accomplish something, but you do a crappy job.”

“not being able to use a tazier to make my students work.....lol”

“not being able to use a tazer to make my students work.....

seconded”

“lmao”

“whut the FRIDGE youins a sayin in hear ..ya here...”

“people who list "having fun" or "hanging out with friends" or "chatting with friends" or something similar as a "hobby"

holy freakin crap! how lame and boring are you, if thats a hobby? next!”

“crash/ Who you hangin out with?, and do not lie?”

“crash - listing "backpacking" is just a fancy-pants way of saying "walking".

Hey, why are such things as personals on your mind? You can't be THAT bored!?”

“Sarge......really now......take a deep breath and take your thumb out of your mouth.”

“ listing "backpacking" is just a fancy-pants way of saying "walking".

ummmmmm no

why are such things as personals on your mind? You can't be THAT bored

just a random peeve”

“people who announce "i dont watch tv" all the time....ooooohhhhh youre such a rebel. way to fight the power”

“I don't watch tv. I don't even have a tv. Why do you have an issue with that? ;)

People who have a tv and say "well I don't watch mine much" when they find out you don't have a tv but will go on at length about all kinds of shows? LOL”

“LOL..about 12 years ago I was arguing a case infront of the HUD Labor division. They were mandating "racial quotas" in hiring and contracting.

So I go into the hearing (actually a well organized Lynch mob) with a stack about 1' high in folders with papers and multi colored paper clips.

The drones would ask a question and I would pull out a folder and flip to a colored paper clip and show them the information. Then I would put it back.

We did our little dog and pony show then waited for a half hour while the mob went over our testimony.....The official reply,"We will consider your testimony seriously."

A year later they changed the law. But the classic line from the HUD director was, "Very impelling evidence and I really liked the colored paper clips."

LOL....”

“i dont have an issue with ppl not watching much tv. i have an issue with ppl ANNOUNCING it every time the subject of tv comes up, like its some sort of badge of coolness

yea. whatever. you dont own a tv, but your husband has every episode of the family guy on his hard drive. you dont fool me”

“yeah, but its true, we don't own a tv.

In defence of those of us who don't, its not to show our 'coolness'. Its to say hey, ok, we don't know what your talking about. I don't care if so and so got yelled at by some dude while trying to sing. Can y ou talk about something else other then TV for a change?

Thats what we are saying.”

College Basketball Thread”

“CB, I'n NOT talking about here, I mean in real life with other people face to face. Co-workers and such who want to go on about judge so and so, or some stupid idol or things like that LOL! You crack me up!”

“then why do you always burst in to the tv threads to announce you dont have a tv? its not like youred trapped in that thread”

“...and so we rot away our hours posting”

“I don't CB. I do watch lost on line, thats the only one I follow.”

“Can anyone tell me where idol is online? I forgot to record the girls singing.”

“Reading an article or story by a reporter that uses the word "even" when listing things that fit into a group, "even" though the item emphasized with the word "even" is no more dramatic in it's relevance.

For example - "Lots of people practice Tai Chi, like parents, the elderly, handicapped individuals, even young children."

REALLY!? WOW! EVEN young children!? That's fricken amazing!

“maybe he meant as opposed to "odd" young children. they can only practice in groups of 2, 4, 6, 8....”

In fact, she is even allergic to dairy products, some fruit and wheat, and can react to non-cotton clothing and plastic furniture, the Daily Mail reported.

Even dairy products, huh? WOW! It's so strange that she's allergic to EVERYTHING, but EVEN dairy products? Now THAT'S hard to believe. I don't know anybody allergic to dairy products. I can see her being allergic to everything EXCEPT dairy products, but EVEN dairy products? Get out of town!”
