Rant: My new 2nd favorite team, the Reds got fucking shitwrecked by St. Louis. Hey gotta root for the local team. Bigger Rant: A friend had an extra ticket to the game, Club seats no less, in what apparently is an unofficial holiday here in Cincy. I had to work. In Lebanon, OH. Oh the joy..... Biggest Rant: Cannot get a West Coast game to save my ass. Would love to watch(at least DVR) my beloved Mariners destroy fucking Oakland in what is going to turn into a regular thing as they steamroll their way to an AL West Title this year. No. I am stuck with Cubs/Braves and other non important games. Rave: At least the Yankees lost to Boston. To the guy considering the Chinstrap Beard: DON'T DO IT!!!! You will be mocked mercilessly as a pinnacle of douchebaggery. Trust me, its an institution here in Cincy, and not looked at with any sort of redeeming social value. Rave: Fuck the Yankees.
Rant: I absolutely despise talking on the phone while driving. It is dangerous, and of the many ways I am daily afraid I might die, it ranks right near the top. On the way home tonight, however, I had to call The Fiance on my cell. No sooner did I start tenuously dialing than a fucking bird smacked directly into the windshield, three feet from my face, scaring the crap out of me and evoking a rapid series of staccato screams at an octave I didn't know I was capable of reaching. I'm thinking that's a sign.
Rave: Dockers beat the Bombers at Etihad stadium. First win in Melbourne for ages and first time at Etihad in 4 disappointing and frustrating years! They are looking great so far and if we can beat the reigning premiers Geelong this Sunday will be the first time they have won 3 games in a row since their inception into the AFL. Cmon the Dockers!!!!
Rant: Motherfucking women and their dramatic bullshit. My best friend for the past 4-5 years is a girl, and I've known that I've liked her more than friends for quite awhile. It's been established that she doesn't feel the same way, so I manned up and got over it last October. Everything has been fine and dandy between the two of us since then, and I was genuinely content with our relationship because she's the fucking coolest girl I've ever met. This past weekend, however, we proceeded to get blackout drunk, and after leaving the bar, she cornered me in an alleyway and started making out with me, claiming that she was so afraid of me leaving (I'm going to grad school and will be moving out of town in less than a month.) and didn't want to see me go. Now I'm left here not knowing what the fuck is going on and what the fuck I am supposed to do. Goddammit, why can't women just be rational sometimes?
RANT: Lucas is determined to ruin the Star Wars franchise. Jesus christ... <a class="postlink" href="http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.reuters.com/ridley-scotts-robin-hood-open-cannes-fest-reuters" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.reu ... st-reuters</a>
Rant: I think i'm more broken than I thought I was. Rant/Rave: This is far from over, her actions have proven that. It's just will she choose to see the obvious. The way you acted Friday and Saturday combined with you crying for 3 days, and you never cry, fucking says something.
Rant: Fucking mother fucking fucking-ass crack smoking fuckers. My building, and my suite were broken into last night. 3rd time for this building in the last 6 months. Rave: It doesn't look like they took anything. Rant: They fucking emptied every single drawer and the place looks like an earth quake hit. Rave: At least I didn't lock my desk. Guy across the hall had all the drawer fronts ripped off both his desks with a crow bar. I have got to move my office out of this fucking ghetto. I swear if I'm here the next time they come, I'm going to empty a magazine into their face.
Motherfucking Rave: Trapped the fox this morning, despite the fact that foxes don't normally walk into obvious fucking traps. In true redneck style, I kept the tail for good luck. Picture is in the hunting thread. Rant: Duke. I hate them so much. Did you know that every year the athletic departments have to report how much money they spent "assisting" or whatever each individual athlete? Well, turns out, Duke spends more money PER PERSON than Butler spends on the entire basketball team.
Rave: Butler covered the spread AND my modified spread. Thank you Bulldogs. Rave: Working from home. So much fun it should be illegal. Rant: Comcast. All of my HD and OnDemand channels skip and get scrambled/herky jerky. You've been here three times to fix it and even went to my neighbors house to adjust some "bounce back noise" you were supposedly getting from their connection. You are the reason I watch 90% of my television via Hulu or Graboid which cost a mere 5% of what you charge. Rave: It's incredibly enjoyable to tell your biggest customer, NO. No you cannot reduce your order by 2/3s and keep the quantity discount. No I don't care if you take this particular project elsewhere. Yes you're about to move onto the wrong side of the 80/20 equation.
Rant: Got an infected spiderbite or some shit. On my thigh. It may prevent me from biking/swimming today. Fucking lame.
Rave: Just nailed a phone interview with a major ad agency in Chicago. Ravex2: They actually called me back 30 minutes later to see if I could come in today to interview. Rant: I can't because my current job refuses to give people days off unless they're request way in advance, and I'm not even an hourly or salary worker.
Rave: Sex. First time in a long ass time. Rant:Had to go hoggin to get it. Jesus Christ. I knew she was large last night, but I woke up next to a goddamn beluga. Rant: My friends all saw me leave the bar with her. Not gonna live this one down for quite some time. When I got home, tubgirl was the background on my laptop.... Great. Rave:Fuck it. It was funny. Well worth it.
Rant: Maybe I missed the notice, but when did the Rant and Rave thread turn into everyone's combined twitter account? I'll admit that every now and then I posted a few single line rant/raves, but outside of a posts here and there, that's all this thread is now. Hell, this has started to creep into some of the threads in the General Discussion Board too. The reason I stuck around on the old board, and moved here immediately when I found out about it was not only the funny, but the substance. It wasn't just a bunch of people listing off their favorite shows or movies, it was explaining what makes them great, or what made them reminisce about old television shows they watched as a child. It was much more interesting to go through than just a bunch of YouTube clips. No, it isn't enough said. Explain why you had high hopes for it after the first Boondock Saints movie. Go into detail about why the sequel sucked. Use some analytical thinking. We're all smart people here, it's not that hard to put some effort into our posts to make them more than just a single line, or a YouTube clip. Throw in at least a few sentences, and at best a few paragraphs that will make people want to stop and notice next time they see your avatar beside a post.
Rant: Not being able to access Youtube while at work. I'm missing out on so many things! I hate being on the computer when at home, so I end up forgetting to look at all the things that are blocked at work. Rave: Apple cinnamon Nutrigrain bar for a snack. Hell fuck yeah.
