I heard the song shipping up to Boston was done for an old record. And they hated it. Eventually they put it on a later album. Makes me feel warm and bubbly that the song that put them on the map and they have to play everywhere they hate. Even if it's not true, I like that story.
Faggy teachers.
My wife :eek:
People that butter up just before asking for a favor. And especially if it is out of character for them. I get what you're doing, resent it and am kindly refusing. If you just asked instead of this fucking ruse I would have gladly helped. Now, fuck off.
What can I say, I'm a spiteful motherfucker.
in a different way, my wife will ask questions that are out of character unless she wants something. Q: "What are you doing Thursday at 5:30" A: Busy, Q:"Doing what?", A: something besides what you aren't directly asking me about....
It's a setup, so you have to play strong D in these situations
People with kids who think you should have kids, and try to get you to hold their babies at parties.
And throw pillows. How many pillows do we really fucking need? I have a pillow with shards of glass sown to it. You can't even use the damn thing, it's decorative I've been told. If you were to fall asleep and accidentally grab this pillow, you would shred your face. It's a fucking liability I tell ya!
Grandparents that can't figure out how to turn the video on while Skyping. Click the video camera image.
Is the problem on our end or yours? It's been you the past umpteen times so I'm going to go out on a limb and assume it's you again.
People that drive 50 in 55 zones and then punch it when you try to pass them.
Really?
I mean, we were meant to be apart. It's safer that way. And no, your dick won't shrink when I pass you.
People who smoke with children in their cars. arrrrgg
Currently sitting at a tech conference with shit internet. There are probably about 150 of us here, with roughly 3 devices per person, and I'll bet we're sharing a 10mb circuit. I just did a speed test from my laptop in the main hall and got .65mb/sec download.
Ordering a double White Russian at a MSP airport bar and watching them open pc's of 'cream'.

Gear Reviews.
Backcountry stoves for example:
"I love camping!!! I love cooking outdoors so this nice stove is perfect for me!!! I bought this nice stove when my cousins came to visit for our upcoming 25 mile hike in my favorite park! I love this nice stove because I can cook with it!. Having said that, I only make hot water meals in a bag! I love it because it's nice and easy for me to use! Having said that, I got sprayed with my fuel when I put it on my canister because my stupid valve wasn't closed! I love this stove because it's nice and small and fits in my nice new pack! I love it because it gets nice and hot! Having said that, I burned my fingers on my pot handle because it gets nice and hot too! I love using it with my nice new titanium cookware. Having said that, my food burns easily!"
I want to thank the company for sending me this nice stove to review on my blog!
Likes: nice things, cooking water
Dislikes: fuel spraying in face, burning fingers, burning food.
or the less narcissistic version:
Love it!! Love cooking outdoors!! Bought it at the store. Use it when other people come. Can cook water. Can adjust flame easily. Burned fingers a few times. Can fit it in pack. Favorite stove.
or the utube version:
Video starts like a network tv show with jazzy music and various sporty outdoor scenes... then fades to a kitchen table with a cardboard box, a pair of hands and a voice. "Hello utube, sorry I haven't made a video in a long time, I've been sick. Sorry about the crappy video and sound, I'm using my old camera phone". The voice recites the specs... "this stove weighs about 127.54 grams"..."it's made from space-age nanotech something or other...". "the manual comes in different languages... it looks like french or something and some other language... oh good, there's the american one". After showing how it comes out of the packaging, reading the instructions/warnings and explaining how heat works, if they decide to actually light it up, there's 9 minutes of waiting for water to "cook".
why do you hate techtalk steff?
The new type of techtalk causes chest pains. "It was a beautiful day for a hike. We wanted to try our new gear, so we decided to make tea. I love this stove, it makes us so happy, it's the best thing ever, our friends can't stop talking about it. Check our blog for photos and updates."
Ultralight backpackers.
Imagine hiking with someone who counts their matches and M&M's.
