Things That Piss Me Off, vol. 2

[[BrockLi] Home] This wouldn't bug me if they didn't use similar ten-character codes for both promotions. I didn't realize the iTunes promo had ended until two of my codes were refused and I took a closer look at the bottle. Bastards.

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

[malefactor] the perfect box: We're going to be rounding up those Critical Mass assholes too, think they can clog up Midtown one Friday night a month, fuck 'em. These little miscreants have no idea how easy it is to carry around 100 sets of handcuffs at a time, now that Western Civilization has married the twist-tie to the punitive heights of technology. And once we get 'em in the vans and away from the cameras, we can do whatever the fuck we want with those damn college brats. Time for the blue enema.

 [A View from A Broad] Stuff and....stuff: You know those beepers that big trucks have, where when they back up, they go, “BEEP BEEP BEEP Hey, dumbass, get out of the way?” I think they need to combine those with those red flashing stick-on lights that undercover cops use on TV, where they just whip them out and stick them on the top of any old car and presto! You have an improvised police car. That way, if I had one of those devices, with the flashing red light and the warning noise, I could just whip it out at the appropriate moment, slap it on top of my head, and the crowds could head for the exits in an orderly way, instead of fleeing in a lemming-like panic the way Tokyo reacts to Godzilla.

 [It's the simple things in life that give you pleasure...] Growing Up (1/5): Viggo turned back around to look at the kitchen as he let that sink through all the booze they had consumed tonight. A drawer hung open from under the counter opposite the doorway, and Viggo could see a gleam coming from the marble countertop. He walked closer, feeling as if his limbs were suddenly made of lead, and he bent to look at the four rings of water sitting there. He turned back around to look at the two younger men, who were staring at him in horror, and from there Viggo could see a little puddle of water on the floor, right next to the door.

 [RandyRants.com] Tiger and Apple: A bit on the pricing snafu: Apple retail stores price things different than the online store and they won't sell you any software there - their boxes are all retail and not education SKUs - but hardware is fair game. They also will price match any "real" ad. So when they tried to charge me full price for the 512MB DIMM upgrade [who in their right mind spends $150 for a single 512MB DIMM?

[GawBlimeyGuv!] XXL-the one size that fits all!: Sadly the porn sites are blocked, just as well really as it's a sackable offence, though if they weren't blocked I could probably have them for entrapment... After that I sat on a train to Victoria from London Bridge to buy some papers in WH Smiths (for the free CDs, my entire compact disc collection comes from freebies in newspapers) and then got another one back home to Sydenham. I got in just before nine & was just about to cook something to eat & settle down to CSI New York when my phone rang. It was my old school mate Headhunter, asking if I wanted to come to the gay club XXL, near London Bridge, tonight, with one of his mates Margie.

The Shaved Ape Chronicles: It's MY Blog, You Bastards!: I'm really enjoying the new series of Doctor Who and, if the ratings in the UK, the ratings in Canada, and the fact that I get raped by thousands of downloaders each time I get an episode from BitTorrent are any indication, I'm not the only one. It's a very cleverly done show, very true to the pulpy roots of the original 1963-1989 series, but definitely geared towards people who have never seen the old show and would probably (quite rightly) mock its low budget and nerdy conventions if they did. Me, I'm loving the fact that I don't have to hide my fondness for this series any more.

  Lying Media Bastards: This trend fascinates me. The name of the format seems to come from the video game You Don’t Know Jack, which was vaguely edgy back in 1995 (Media professionals have their fingers firmly on the pulse of people in decade-long comas). The “Jack” concept does not have to use that name, however. Philadelphia now has a Ben station, presumably based upon famous Philadelphian Benjamin Franklin.

Gut Rumbles: If you drive around southside Savannah today, you may encounter "Sallie Mood Drive." It's a long, straight stretch of road that intersects Eisenhower Boulevard and Montgomery Crossroads, and it's got all kinds of shit built up around it now. Back when I was in high school and during my early college years, that piece of pavement was called Meridian Road, and there wasn't a damn thing out there but woods on both sides of that long, straight road.

What things BeFell » Blog Archive » Penis Monologue: The other part of the angry lesbians little speach that made me hate her was her claim that women are raped on campus every 15 seconds or something like that. The first thing that popped into my head was “are you counting the skanky girls who go to frat parties, get wasted, go down on a guy, wake up next to him and have him arrested.” Of course she was because girls should have the right to be as slutty as they want and fuck as many guys as she wants then ruin their lives because she finally got around to sobering up and she doesn’t want that kind of a reputation.
