Just about every morning at work, I pass a car in the parking lot that straddles the line between two parking spaces, so it takes up both of them. Why would someone do this? Do they think their precious vehicle is too important to park amongst us little people? Are they afraid their car will get dinged if someone parks too close to it? Whatever the reason, every time I see this car I think "Geez, what a douche."

I'm tempted to leave a note under the windshield wiper one of these mornings that sez "Get off your high horse, a**hole. You drive a Kia, not a f***ing Lamborghini."

Just take a dump on his windshield.

Well, maybe that's a little too far. Start with the note, yes.

Did I mention this before? The popularity of the Nostalgia Critic and his imitators. Can't act, feels as amateur as the movies they criticize, occasionally funny but mostly snarky in the most obvious way, betrays no affection for the bad movie genre. There is one show in this genre I like, but only one.

More than one person back when I had this job in town...
I'd keep hoping one of the adjacent spaces would conveniently open up, so I could park uncomfortably close to them.
That's what @$$holes in oversize pickup trucks would do back when I owned a motorcycle.
Never could figure out what it was with these s***kickers & their oversize pickups.

Why are clothing manufacturers suddenly making shirt pockets teenie weeny?

It's getting so I've got noplace to put my pen, or my grocery list.
Used tho be, you you could fit a whole notepad, cellphone and a pocket camera in your shirt pocket, but now I'm perplexed to the point I find myself cussing in public every time I hafta change my glasses.

You think that's bad? I bought dress shirts online that had NO POCKETS! Great looking shirts, it just never occurred to me that I had to check to make sure they included the damn pockets!

I heard about "sin eating" on an ep of night gallery starring Richard Thomas.

Now this.

Here's what I don't get:

I may not know chapter and verse too well but in general I have more of an idea what's actually  in what is commonly known as the bible than a lot of christians I've  met. So I am utterly unable to comprehend how anyone could read any version of the bible and find anything what so ever that could even begin to justify sin eating.

I suppose it was a clever,  poor,  hungry person who started this little heresy.

Ah well, if a poor person came up with a way for poor people to use religion to scam money out of rich people, then god bless him.

In all fairness to the church of England  it actually never approved of it. It may be that local vicars in some areas let it slide,  again possibky seeing the fact it helped the poor help themselves as making it forgiveable.

The doctor that circumcised Trump threw away the wrong piece.

Now that is a mental image I could do without. No man should ever wear one of those.  :lookingup:

All the craze about The Beatles. It's amazing how it still holds to this day.

I mean, Lennon is nothing but a character, and the musical side of the band is complete garbage. :tongueout:

Guys asking for viewing recommendations on youtube, something they can "watch" while they are playing a video game. I don't get why do everything at once?
Either you play a game or watch something. Simple as that.

I know most of the time I'll play a game, watch a movie, listen to music and read a book or paint some miniatures, write a story or whatever all at the same time. I also have to make sure I get plenty of time in with Ash while doing all the rest. I'd get bored if I just did the one thing.

I have never gotten why the SA national cricket team - world beaters on any given day - always fail when it comes to the Cricket World Cup. They got their arses beaten by England yesterday!

I dunno. I just read the more different things you do the less you get done?
