Happy Festivus, Lounge! Let the Airing of the Grievances begin!!!!!
Where to begin? I have a lot of problems with all of you. It's like trying to figure out which child to beat first.

Hey, football fans. Guess what? No one gives a shit about your little sports obsession. The way you people talk, one would almost believe you're actually playing the game. Yet, when I turn on the TV to look for you, all I see are over paid athletes who seem to care little about who wins or loses. Get a grip - it's only a game.

Next up: Rush/Led Zeppelin fans. I don't know why the hell you two fight with each other because I have news for you: both bands suck. It's time to let go of the 70s. They weren't that great anyways. Chicks wore green mascara. Let that settle in for a little bit. Thank god Punk Rock came around and kicked the shit out of your decade's music.

Number 3: Lolcats. Fuck lolcats. I can haz a big fucking headache trying to figure out what is so goddamned funny about illiterate cats (and/or their owners).

What else? Oh, I remember. Anyone who thinks The Dark Knight should be up for some sort of award needs to get their head examined. It was a Summer action movie with no crazier of a plot than Total Recall. Thinking suicide victim Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar would also mean retro-paying one to Brandon Lee for The Crow.

star star star CAPS star star star and 'kick this thread if.... ' are tools of the attention whore.

Why do people tell total strangers about tragic and/or ridiculous events in their personal lives on random chatboards and then get pissed when total strangers make comment? That's like leaving a few thousand dollars unattended at a bar and wondering why people would steal. You're asking for it.

Chuggo wasn't that funny.

Alright, that's all I have this hour. I'm sure I'll have more as the day goes on. You have one day to get it out, Lounge. Don't hold back.

4. That's another thing...
You East Coasters have your heads up your collective ass. There's no reason to live here willingly (trust me, I don't). The food sucks, the people suck, the traffic sucks, the people suck, the weather sucks, the people suck. Don't even bother bringing up earthquakes because you asshats have a hurricane 'season'. Get that?! A whole fucking season dedicated to mass destruction and mayhem inflicted by mother earth.

Fuck that.

8. So you realize the last time a "hurricane" gave this area a direct
hit was like in the 70's? (Isabelle only nicked us).
At least you know its coming. Call me back when they can predict earthquakes in advance!
As for the food...That puzzles me. You must not like international cuisine much then..cause you can get just about anything you want here...
Fucking carpetbaggers. I bet you are one of those idjits that doesn't know how to drive in the snow or rain!:P

11. Unlike you jackasses who think they can drive in bad conditions
When it rains or snows, I stay off the goddamned road.

I've attempted about every possible international (and national) food to my liking. I think my microwave could get four stars in the greater DC metro area. To acheive a decent meal around here, you usually have to give a pint of blood and your first born. But I guess that's the price you have to pay for supposed 'gourmet' (like a half way decent steak and mash potatoes).

By the way, do you think this area has enough fucking buffets? And whatever a Bob Evans is, I don't want to find out.

3. I have a grievance with people
who think Heath Ledger committed suicide. He had a little girl he loved to pieces, and was in the midst of filming a movie. His death was accidental. Lastly, he should have won the Oscar for Brokeback Mountain, but since that didn't happen, the least they can do is give him Best Supporting Actor for TDK.

5. If it was anyone else but a big star
it would have been labeled a suicide. When people overdose, it's a suicide, accidental or not.

9. I don't have a problem with anyone here
I have problems with people I have to deal with in real life, however. I work for a non-union trucking company and the trucker with the most seniority has his head firmly implanted up management's ass. That wouldn't be a big deal if the guy wasn't making "suggestions" that end up affecting all of the other truckers in a bad way. Yeah, I wish that guy would get a DUI or test positive for dope.

13. Bad drivers.
Edited on Tue Dec-23-08 10:31 AM by redqueen
Like people who come to a complete stop in middle lane of a six-lane road because they almost missed their turn, but instead of driving on and turning around like a normal considerate person would do, they just stop all traffic so they won't be inconvenienced. Everyone else should be inconvenienced you know, but not them. Oh, heavens no.

Really just anyone who is inconsiderate of others. They all disappoint me greatly.

And people who wear so much fragrance you can smell them after they're gone. Them, too.

And people who just hang up on receptionists. x(

21. ahem...
your mockery of my inner peace and spiritual light does not affect me in the slightest....


That being said, I now have some grievances:
Smartassery in teh lounge is out of control, it is as if the entire place is infested with snarky (although witty and amusing) cyborgs!

Ghost kicking creeps me out a little

I still don't know what kudzu or chuggo are

There are not enough threads about the male anatomy, but breast threads are like a plague of locusts

Oedi is an evil genius and I think he is secretly controlling my mind!

That is all.

16. Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy, you RUNIED a once proud football team!
You should have let Brett come back instead of sticking with Aaron Rodgers, an inept ne'er-do-well who has a propensity for epic chokes that make the 2007 New York mets pale in comparison. Instead of winning the NFC North this season, we are in the basement, saved from a utterly humiliating last place finish only by the massive black hole of pure, unfiltered suck that is the Detroit Lions. If the Packers leadership has any balls, both of you two shit-idiots will get a matching set of shiny new pink slips for Christmas. then you two fuckernauts can go drive another proud franchise straight into the ground (preferably one that deserves it like, maybe Cowboys or the Patriots.)

17. 110th Congress, you screwed America over with the $700B "bailout"
Why couldn't you have stood up to the banks and the holding companies? Why did you have to kiss the assess of Citibank and AIG and Bank of America and fawn over them saying "Yes, Sir, can I fluff up your pillows before kissing your ass again, Sir?"

Frankly, a lot of you Congressmen and Senators are dumber than a box of hammers, and your collective backbone is as rigid as a plate of spaghetti. Would that we could clone the likes of Russ Feingold and Dennis Kucinich and stuff Congress with all of their duplicates! And yes, some of you Democrats are on my list, too. Dianne Feinstein, you couldn't even commit to referring to waterboarding as torture? May your panties change from silk into bamboo on your person, and may you chafe mightily for it.

That's enough for now. I'm sure I'll think of more later.

18. Punk rock wasn't that great either.
Edited on Tue Dec-23-08 12:29 PM by Elrond Hubbard
Punk died for a reason: it sucked.
It's like a two toothless crackheads fighting it out in a back alley. You don't really care who wins and they both smell like shit.
I'm sick of music on the radio, and the radio in general. They play only shitty music, and make people think that all modern music sucks. People declare that all modern music sucks when it's just that they're too damn lazy to look into all the great music that's out there.
Dennis Kucinich isn't all that fantastic but people seem to enjoy wanking him furiously at every opportunity.
Commercials. They suck.
People suck too.
People on GD and GD:P need to chill.
Relationships suck. Why are all of my relationships train wrecks?
I can't stand college football and couldn't care less about it.
I can't stand how people are so fucking obsessed with cats. They're just animals with bad attitudes that are slightly cuddly and don't do much more than eat and shit. And the word 'kitteh' fills me with uncontrollable rage.
Why, oh why, can't things just work out as planned for once?
I hate reading about people bragging about their wonderful relationships. I'm bitter, dammit, and that's just fuel for it. Maybe I should be less bitter, but I haven't had a reason lately not to be. BITTER BITTER BITTER.
I want to find the energy to hate some people, but I just don't have it. I hate dry skin. I hate sleeping. I hate being awake. I hate not being able to write. I hate being unmotivated. I hate being a compulsive procrastinator.
I hate lame 'kick and rec this thread' threads. If you're more of an attention whore than me, you have serious problems.
HOW'S THAT FOR A MOTHERFUCKING RANT YOU FUCKERS???

29. Perhaps you're right... but where are the stripes?
Edited on Tue Dec-23-08 02:51 PM by redqueen
If they can put detailed little curvy lines all over the turtle's shell and down the owl's wings, they should damn well put them on the poor zebra. I mean really... that's just rude... fucking over the zebra for no good reason.

So... even if it IS supposed to be a zebra, I still have a greivance with that person.


On edit no... I really don't think it's a zebra, cause I'm pretty sure the mane flopped over to the side, and zebras' manes stick up. I shouldn't have eaten that one. Oops.
