I'm pretty sure I had written this sort of thread a while back, yet I can't find it anywhere.
Hmmm. I'll have another look, and if not I'll just answer "afresh."

Sheds, you bitch!
Don't dredge up the old stuff, Mudger. I'm sure there must be other things that have enranged you since. People who don't appreciate your reviews, for example. ;D

On a similar-ish note - daddylonglegs. What purpose do they actually serve?

Wasps. I am not one of these people who scream at spiders or insects or anything like that, but if you want to see The Curmudgeon turn into an hysterical, shrieking woman - put me near a wasp. Those things TERRIFY me. I hate cruelty to animals - I don't like crushing ants or anything, but I would happily turn every wasp into fucking powder under my boot.. if I could stand close to one long enough.
Gossip Magazines - Heat, Closer - all that glossy "see what Britney bought at the supermarket" drivel for morons. Honestly, when did we get like this? And the most annoying thing is, it's not even CELEBRITIES that they talk about anymore. Bruce Willis is a celebrity. Madonna is a celebrity. Some utter dick from Big Brother is NOT, yet page after page is filled with these bottom feeders, and you can see Generation Dead-Eyed hoovering up every last bit of pointless information about them. I would bet more under 16 year olds in the UK know who Kerry Katona is than Johnny Cash. And in what kind of world is that a good thing?
Text speak - you see it on phones and its started to invade the internet as well (or is it the other way round?) Whatever - its a plague on communication. People don't seem to want to write WORDS anymore, its all this 2moz and "wot u up2" bullshit. The only person that can get away with that is Prince - and he was doing it before mobiles were invented. Smiley faces I can (just) about handle if they're used sparingly, but there is NO excuse for that kind of lazy, idiotic crap. In fact, I think this is probably the only website in the world you can come to where you don't see it.

I am the wasp-destroyer in our family, because my husband is allergic and my boys haven't been stung yet so I have to get rid of them just in case. I dread every summer for this reason. Text speak - amen to everything you said. I h8 it 2.  |

Cellular phones. Used on occasion, they're fine. But used whenever you're driving, walking, sitting in a theater, at a fucking concert WHILE THE BAND IS PLAYING, in an elevator, etc. STOP IT! It's impossible to have a conversation with anybody anymore uless they turn the damned thing off first. They just ring and ring and ring with obnoxious hip-hop and emo ringtones endlessly. And if it's not calls it's endless texting. Doesn't it usually take longer to text a conversation than to just call the person outright? There's a time and a place, but it's replacing actual human interaction at a frightening pace. I will never own one of those things. I won't be THAT guy. Here's some "Boondocks" love to play me out: youtube.com/watch?v=VBflm_S61Wg God bless you, Aaron McGruder and Samuel L Jackson. |

I hate when you go to parties and things and there's a bunch of girls sitting with either their mobiles on their laps or sitting staring at the fucking thing the whole night.
As for the Boondocks - I fully expect this show will never see the light of day in the UK. What is the premise, exactly? That white guys talk like black guys or.. what?

It's amazing, Curmudgeon; arguably the best show of the last few years. Think South Park meets The Simpsons meets anime, but for American black culture. I could rave for days, but the premise is that a poor black family moves into a white suburb and some ol' weekly craziness goes down. It's the most daring look at race-relations out there and it is VERY Fortress-like in it's attitude towards pop-culture. One episode has Martin Luther King returning to lash out at modern black culture like so: youtube.com/watch?v=E2WfZeouDhk&feature=related VERY controversial, Al Sharpton had a fit. Throw in plenty of Bruce Lee and samurai film references and John Woo homages, killer guest stars, political satire by the truckload, and even more offensive humor and you've got one of my flagship shows. You'd do well to find a way to see this show. It'd never fly in Europe, but it's definitely worth the time and money to buy in my book. Here's another taste: youtube.com/watch?v=E9tai4JlWmQAwesome. |

This whole boring message board. You sound like a bunch of old women. Your welcome message promises all and delivers a big fat yawn fest. I have read more interesting posts on a cross stitch forum.
