You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?

[Flick James]

Yeah, the 5-second rule. Is this really a rule? So, if my food drops into a pool of bio-medical waste and I retrieve it within 5 seconds I'll be okay?

Yes. 

Try it some time.   

Alright then. I'll try it with this piece of string cheese. One one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand, four one-thousand.

AAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!

The 5-second rule is more a matter of excusing yourself out of doing something that might be considered gross by an invented fantasy.  In all honesty though, even if you find a week old chip under the sofa, it's probably not going to hurt you if you eat it.

I'd agree with you, but I'm horribly sick from following Doggett's advice. DAMN YOU DOGGETT!!!

[Mr. DS]

People who sell you out after you recruit them for a job or committee.  It makes you look like an @ss after giving the person a big thumbs up in your proposal only to have them leave or pull a stunt.  I had a "friend" do this to me recently and I'm a bit PO'd about it.

Been there a few times myself, and it can be infuriating, not to mention embarrassing.

Shirley Phelps Roper.

If I could kill only ONE PERSON in the world, it would be her. Don't know who she is? Let me give you a hint.

[indianasmith]

She is an evil woman and the daughter of an evil man.
One of these days God is going to demand justice from
those bullies.

[Doggett]

God hates my tears ?

What ?



Seriously ?
Why did He give me tear ducts then ?

If anyone drives humanity away from religion, it will not be the atheists, but rather the fanatics. The worst enemy of any faith is the morons and nutjobs among its own adherents.

Seriously, no matter what your position on homosexuality, no sane and moral person is going to think a placard reading "God hates fags" is an appropriate expression of religious faith. Some of the most intolerant Evangelicals I know will at least profess to love homosexuals as human beings in spite of condemning the practice, and would never wish harm and suffering on them for it.

For the record, my position on homosexuality is that if you're discreet about it, and everything is between consenting adults, you can make love to a hole in a tree for all I care.

[Doggett]

...you can make love to a hole in a tree for all I care.

I hear some hippies do that.

I hear some hippies do that. 

It does tend to make the maple syrup taste funny though.

Has anyone seen that Andy has a dirt mind thread...

[AndyC]

Might not be that bad of an idea.

You know, as much as I despise them, I can't help find myself strangely interesting in the Phelps clan.  It's like watching a train wreck and then thinking, "Gosh, what cause this train crash?  Why is this the way it is?"

I'm thinking Fred is just a hateful person, period, and this is just one way he's found to be able to channel it.  (I say "one way" because there's been reports from kids who've grown up and left the Phelps household that he's also an abusive bastard.  It wouldn't surprise me.)
