DISREGARD THIS HYPERBOLE. THERE IS NO THREAT FROM THE MECHANICAL REPLACEMENT ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT DEVICES.
MAINTAIN DAILY PROTOCOLS. GLORY TO THE MANY.
This past weekend was exhausting.
Nothing like a review of this thread to get the old rant juices flowing. Working on part three now.
Rant incoming!!!
Welcome back rant enthusiasts! This is the final rant about moving…I promise. This portion of the rant is about essentially living in (expletive deleted) box city. So, on top of having to box all of your (expletive deleted) up and lugging it to a new place, you then have to spend the next several weeks living out of boxes like a (expletive deleted) hobo. What? Did that offend any of you hobo sympathizers out there? Well excuse me!! Whatever, tell it to the (expletive deleted) wall. Where was I? Oh yeah, living out of the boxes you (expletive deleted) spent several hours packing and then now have to (expletive delete) unpack and put somewhere in your new place. (Expletive deleted) that sucks. The worst part about it is we always very generically label the boxes with things like “Living Room” or “Kitchen”. So then when you need to find the TV remote you have go through (expletive deleted) 15 or more boxes just to find it. Then there is the whole thing of it taking almost twice as long to unpack this (expletive deleted) as it did to pack the (expletive deleted) in the first place. After a while, you just find a spot in your new place and just start shoving these (expletive deleted) boxes there. If you have a basement, your basement becomes a (expletive deleted) sanctuary for (expletive deleted) boxes full of (expletive deleted) you are never going to use or need until you have to (expletive deleted) move again. (Expletive deleted) I hate moving. It is seriously one of the most draining activities in the world. You would think by now we would have made this easier or simpler, but NOOOO. Instead we as a society are wasting tons of money on figuring out how to (expletive deleted) improve our ability to download porn and ensure old guys can get hard-ons. Wow, did I just seriously type that? Man, I’m waaaaaay off topic here and I think it may be time to call it a (expletive deleted) day with this one.
Tune in next time when I return to the completion of Operation Rant List completion with a rant about Cyclist who ride their bikes at night in the middle of the road. Those (expletive deleted)…
Rant list:
Cyclist who ride their bikes at night in the middle of the road
Stupidity replacing common sense
Co-workers
Cow orcers
Produce bags (as suggested by Mrs. JMD031)Just a few more before we are done with the list.
Back to your regularly scheduled rant programs.
I give this rant four stars. It omitted a crucial bit about "that one [redacted] thing that always gets packed in the wrong [redacted] box" and "that one box that always gets [redacted] labeled wrong". Otherwise spot on.
Thanks for the feedback. I often get worried that the rants are too wordy or too long or not long enough etc. One of these days I'll get it down to a science.
How is everyone enjoying their Memorial Day?
Slept in, which was nice.
Ate too much at friends' get-together, which was not nice.
Working on recap of last Pathfinder session. Rants will be on hold for a bit.

Hey
Nothing like a lazy Sunday.

Welcome back rant enthusiast! This rant is about Cyclist who ride their (expletive deleted) bikes at night in the middle of the (expletive deleted) road. As you can probably already tell, this is a topic that really lights my fires. Why? Because these individuals are (expletive deleted) jerks, that’s why. How so? Well, it’s quite simple really. These (expletive deleted) “expect” everyone to give them the same courtesy as a car while they simply ignore most of the basic (expletive deleted) rules of the road. I’m sorry by my 1 ton car beats your 30 pound bicycle any day of the week and I will test that theory against anyone who dares. Of course if I did, I would be the one going to (expletive deleted) jail and getting (expletive deleted) (expletive deleted) in the (expletive deleted). Another thing that gets me is that there are often sidewalks really close by that they could utilize, BUT NOOOOO, these (expletive deleted) have to use the road going (expletive deleted) 15 mph. What really (expletive deleted) me off is that there are plenty of sidewalks in my neighborhood and there is a (expletive deleted) forsaken bike trail. Seriously, I wouldn’t care so much if these guys would not use major (expletive deleted) roads. Also, WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH GOING FOR A BIKE RIDE AT 9PM AND WEARING THE DARKEST THINGS YOU CAN FIND IN YOUR (expletive deleted) CLOSET!!!! Sure, you got a bunch of (expletive deleted) blinking lights going which are just as likely to cause me to have a (expletive deleted) seizure than to make your (expletive deleted) (expletive deleted) seen. If you haven’t figured out by now, I am not a fan of people who do this. But just to be crystal clear, I have no problems with people who ride bicycles and I have no problems with people who ride bicycles on the road. What I do have a problem with is people who ride bicycles at night on busy streets and expect to be given the same respect that a car would get despite the fact that that individual is making the absolutely stupidest decision ever by riding on these busy streets in the first place. Now, I could have just posted that and called it a day, but it would not have expressed how (expletive deleted) this makes me. On that note, this has gone on too long so rant over.
Join me next time when I rant about…Stupidity replacing common sense. Wow…this might as well be a (expletive deleted) rant about YouTube or so-called “reality Television” or whatever.

I give the bike rant 5/5 stars. Thank God, someone else who agrees that if you can't go the speed limit you should not be considered a true vehicle and thus SHOULD GET OFF THE ROAD AND ONTO THE SIDEWALK/BIKE PATH WHERE YOU BELONG.
Stupid no-bikes-on-sidewalks laws....
Wait...there are laws against riding bikes on sidewalks?
Yes. Lots of them. I know Phoenix had it in some areas and Chattanooga has it downtown and on Gunbarrel around the mall. (Chatt also has the problem of a lot of non-downtown areas not having sidewalks at all - and outside downtown also barely having any roadside paved borders at all, usually just having the white lane line then a few inches of pavement then drop-off into grass ditches.)
Apparently the threat of "hitting a pedestrian with a bike is justification for an assault charge" isn't enough to deter the potential of bike riders just running walking folks over, so a lot of cities passed ordinances keeping bikes off sidewalks and ordering them onto the streets. And then they posted up all the "Share The Road" signs, to try to enforce the idea that - despite a bike's inability to keep up with the flow of traffic or otherwise contribute to proper travel convenience - they should be treated in all ways as a true motor vehicle.
I remember reading an article some time ago about how a big California city - I want to say SanFran, but don't quote me on it - had noted that pollution and traffic congestion had increased rather than decreased after passing a bike law - because the bikes were clogging up traffic and causing people to go slower and spend more time in their cars thus kicking out more pollution, rather than what they had expected of more people ditching their cars and going biking.
So many irons in the fire...
All of them?

Can we have a rant about elves and their superiority complex over orcs?
I think I can squeeze that in.
Long weekend and no internets makes me go something something...
Go crazy?

Go crazy?
Don't mind if I do!
blaaaaaabllllllaaaaaablllllaaaaaaablllllllaaaaaaaaaaaalalallallaa!!!
So, I made a post about irons in a fire and how there were so many of them. There continues to be many irons in the fire. All of them in fact are still in the fire. So, be patient or something. Also, why don't more people post in this thread anymore? Is this like a passing fad where people only come by if I've posted a rant? I guess what I'm saying is please post more.
I think the main reason for lack of posting except post-rant is that there's little discussion going on otherwise. Rants prompt new conversations but without them there doesn't tend to be a subject of discussion.
So I guess I'll toss one out. Bagels. for or against?
Bagels: Pro... until it comes to weighing myself, then Strongly CON.
Bagels: Pro... until it comes to weighing myself, then Strongly CON.
Heh, story of my past week and a half...
Bee Gees: Pro, since the only way to make it in this business is to play the blues or sing in a very high voice.
Bra Glues: Con. Don't stand up well to humidity.
Slag-Eb: Con. The Demon Lord of Excess Carbs, presently engaged in a titanic battles with Barry the Pastrami Paladin for control of the best deli in Sigil.
Bagels? Oh yeah. Pro.
My daughter calls Bagels "doughnuts"
So after a lot of thought, I have decided to go back into Active service for the Army.
Good luck.

Hadn't you just finished up and retired?
What made you decide to go back?
Bagel: Very Pro Bagel, in all sorts of different ways.
Bee Gees: Pro
Bengals: the animal yes not the football team
Beagles: I love dogs so pro
Bra Glues: need more information not familiar with them.
Slag-Eb: Demon Lord ... excess carbs fighting a Pastrami Paladin? I am going to say pro since I am always for competition and it sounds like Slag-Eb keeps Barry working hard and not complacent.
Finances.
I've only got 12 years in.
I'm mad I can't be one of "The Gang"
Can you snap your fingers while singing and dancing on sets of the Upper West Side in the 1950s? Good, you're in The Gang.
Who says you can't be apart of "The Gang"?
I'm going to be working on some stuff that is non rant related.
Is it Tuesday already?
