| What about verbing? That's fun and/or annoying as well.

| I seem to be developing a headace. Now I just need to come up with a decent marketing strategy so I can sell it to others and make a fortune.

| Here's a beef:
I live in sort of pricey residence and the population holds both gay women the straight women. One of the things that I noticed is that many of them try to do bodily harm to straight girls - I just observed a woman from an outer island, who is very pregnant, get the bums rush from a couple of gay women. How can we encourage more cooperation between the groups? Are gay women afraid that the straight world will know them and is that why they don't want straight women around them?
Can you respond to this?
As for the first poster: anyone who has to excuse themselves to say they are taking a d....p was probably abused for diapers and is stuck in that stage of development. If a person's in the middle of a conversation and needs to make a quick getaway, just say "I'll be right back". If the person needs to say "Where are you going" just say, "the mens room" or "the ladies room". That should cover it. | |

| While listening to commercial radio last night I had the displeasure to hear an add for a stroke screening program. While the program is (I'm sure) worthy, one of the "testimonials" they use makes me clench my teeth in an effort not to start yelling at the radio. It goes something like this:
"I'm so glad that I got this test. My doctor says that if I hadn't I'd be nothing but a statistic."
Wow! You'd be a statistic? Hummmmm.... as opposed to be a statistic for having gotten the test? As opposed to being a statistic for surviving? A statistic because you are rich? Poor? Known to flick his boogers onto oncoming traffic?
Perhaps these people should get together with the advertisers that constantly want to talk about how their product/service is a "Quality" product/service. Always good for a laugh. Take the Ford Motor Corp. Where Quality is job 1. Sure.. but just what KIND of quality? At that point most people that I talked with (a HUGH survey of my three or four closest friends) knew that the proper modifier was Cr*ppy quality.

| Torch wielding mobs... Why do rampaging mobs in movies only come out at night? Is there a guild contract clause that stipulates this?

As it happens, the angry mob guild is having some internal conflicts. When it is sorted out and we have a new headquarters (the old one burned down) we will be back to running werewolves and crappy referees out of town. | |

| I wonder why it is that both small birds and small dogs seem to have scrappy egos way out of proportion to their size? (Or is this in the same category as "All rock drummers are short"?)

Oh and als there seems to be a small hang up on the coffee service to be provided durring the required 15 minute breaks durring chases - the WG s demanding that the coffee service provide only sumantran Mountian, while the TWM guild is demanding Foldgers Perkolatr drip only.

- Flexibe
- Waterproof
- Sanitary
Water Proof? They're PLASTIC! Why the #@!# would you need to say tat thy are Waterproof on top of that???

| I read somewhere that the gentleman who invented the paper straw did so after deciding that there must be something better than wheat straws to drink his julep through.

| I need to use closed captioning on the telly (or subtitles turned on when watching a DVD) if I want to watch it, as I can't hear. My dad and I were watching Harry Potter 5 recently, and right underneath a shot of Harry and Ron running like mad, was this very enlightening caption: [RUNNING]
Good Lord. | |
