  1. I kinda have to laugh at all of you men out there who are complaining about the lack of sleeping space because your wives are expecting. AFAIAC, if the Lord ever blesses my wife and I with a baby, I am going to enjoy every moment of it. We've been waiting long enough as it is.

  2. What the hell is a gift avatar?

    Here's the story behind a "gift avatar".

     

    A few years ago, while I was surfing the net, I came across a website for the Church of Satan out in Salem, Massachusetts (run by someone other than Anton LaVey). The guy who ran it, who called himself Lord Egan (real name John Dewey Allee), put up an Ourobouros baphomet and said, "This Ouroboros Baphomet is his gift to you". So, I spun that around and decided that I would put up avatars toward fellow SS members and how they might apply to them.

     

    Don't worry. I'm not a Satanist and it's not a hex against any of you. It's just that I have a very bizarre way of piecing things together in tangents. Sorta like that Connections show that was probably aired on either Discovery or the History channel.

  3. why have I never gotten a gift avatar yet?

    Don't worry. Your time will come.

     

    Now, my complaint for the week: If last week's vote in the NY State Senate was not an indicator that NYS is running like lemmings into the sea and hasn't reached its nadir yet, I don't know what is.

  4. Just promise her you'll scream oh Jesus at the end.

    Yeah, right. Xander Crews is only thinking about one thing, and it certainly isn't the gray matter between his ears. Can't respect a woman enough to not treat her like a

    w h o r e.

     

    That's what he gets for hanging out with John Thomas all these years...

  5. Two complaints this week:

     

    1, Some people are just so trashy and utterly lacking in decorum that, once the maintenance staff clean the restrooms at public places, someone has to come along and trash it - and then have the nerve to blame maintenance for not keeping it clean! :angry:

     

    2, The way some people drive out here, it's going to be their last Summer vacation ever.

  6. She left me, dumped me, forsaken me, ripped out my heart and crushed it. Its over, done, finished, no longer happening, my wedding is canceled, my life is dark, i am lost in a stormy sea of memories and heartache.

    I am so sorry to hear about this. Same thing goes to thanes16 as well. :cry: for both of you. Seriously.

  7. The unions are only part of the problem. They had their time and place, and if operated in a sane manner, would still matter. Essentially, they are the hagfish on the bloated carcass of the American worker. (having metaphorically died and hit the sea floor).

     

    The worker, of course, was killed by capital. Capital, in a democracy, can not achieve its means without the collaboration of labor, to the detriment of labor. Keep voting for those upper-class tax cuts, middle-class. You're likely to have your job outsourced in recompense.

    The whole system is a mess. Whether it's big business or big labor, every one is in it for themselves. At the end of the day, we pay for it out of our own pockets.

     

    In all honesty, it's going to take a monumental collapse before things are made right again.

  8. Oh Hell, I'll bite on this one.

     

    What is it about America that while we preach at each other about the land of opportunity and social mobility, we do everything in our power as a society t o ensure those things are complete lies.

     

    Honestly, it shocks me that people can look at the nominally generous benefits (in exchange for less than market-value pay and the opportunity to pay for union membership that 75% of members will never benefit from directly) and think the following:

     

    "Those people have it better than I do..." this is not the socking part yet..."screw those people ###### better, I will embrace a political view making life worse for them, instead of working to make life better for myself."

     

    Flame away, you know I'm at least factually correct.

    I find nothing wrong with this assessment. The labor unions have practically priced themselves out of the market, and have actually been the #1 reason why companies go out of business.

     

    Bethlehem Steel, anyone?

  9. Moving. It sucks. My everything hurts.

    Including your facial hair?

     

     

     

    Ok, my complaint for the week (or maybe while this country still exists). This STILL hasn't happened yet! :wallbash:

    Oh, well. I guess if I can spin it a certain way in support for secession, I'll borrow MLK's four famous words: "I have a dream".

  10. Not really a complaint...but close to it...

     

    With a great goaltender and a great defender and an average but deep team...you can

    grind down the most talented team in the 101st-108th games of the season.

    Still, no team that joined the league in 1970 has won the Cup outright.

     

    Thanks, Dallas... :thumbdown:

  11. Bikers (bicyclists). I get that you want to wear tight fitting cloths, but do you really have to get the ones that make you look like a billboard for Pellegrino and Fiat. You are still 30lbs overweight. You are not fooling anyone into thinking you are a sponsored, professional rider.

    :lol:

  12. Hochul's election is another reason why I'm glad not to be living in NYS now.

     

    Since so many native WNYers have left for greener pastures, now would be a good time for the CSA to be resurrected like a phoenix rising from the ashes. My complaint is that it can't happen soon enough!

  13. Why didn't someone tell me the world is ending Saturday? WTF? I'm sooo out of the loop.

    Chz, trust me on this: the world will not end on Saturday. Unless some of us die on that day (which I say with the utmost amount of respect), the rest of us will be here. Pay no attention to the Family Radio ads.

  14. Help Nathan Fillion Buy Firefly!

    I heard something about him trying to do that. I hope he can pull it off. The right people were cast for the show. It would just be a matter of getting the original cast members back on the show.

     

    Firefly was definitely a unique show. It didn't mess with anyone's heads (although River's head was messed up by no fault of her own).

  15. Been saving this one up since last Friday evening. It's actually three things, but they're very, very related...

     

    (1) Female housemates.

     

    (2) Terrible television. Specifically: Teen Mom 2.

     

    (3) People who don't understand that the significance of watching sports in real time (as opposed to DVR'ed) is much greater than the significance of watching crappy reality shows in real time.

     

    Now that the playoffs have started, I think I have laid down the law. :thumbsup:

    I agree. They don't make shows on the telly like they used to (although Firefly was halfway decent). So much recycled garbage and the people who do reality shows give me the impression that they actually like the attention they're getting.

     

    As Neil Peart wrote in "The Big Money", It's the fool on television/getting paid to play the fool.
