I'm assuming that there was some kind of substance use induced coma involved.
JMD031, have you treated The DaVinci Code to a rant yet? I ask because I discovered a copy hiding in my library the other day and felt obliged to drop-kick it across the room. People who pass pseudoscholarship off as a topic for a thriller really (expletive deleted) me off.
Another vote for a DaVinci code-inspired rant here!
SnowJade, you can post your own rants on the thread if you feel the urge. JMD031 awards rant points to contributions he approves of, too.
I'm trying to find it. I emailed it to a friend years ago, and kept a copy. Unfortunately, I changed computers, and I'm afraid it may have been sacrificed to Lolita by the Code Monsters. If I can locate it, I'll certainly post it, with JMD031's approval, and thank you for requesting it!
Just an FYI, I will be on a brief hiatus during the month of September while I'm on my Annual Training. I'll be sure to build up some rants to share when I get back. Until then I hope to have a rant or two before I leave.
The hiatus hasn't started yet....
Wouldn't happen to be urban warfare and crowd/riot control, perhaps in conjunction with a large number of Russian troops, would it? *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*
Nope, just your average every year training for being in the reserves.
Good news. Internets will be "spotty". This is good news in comparison to "no internet". So, keep this thread alive.

I'm not feeling very ranty but . . .
Last Saturday I went to this work party thing and brought my bike. After the thing I unlocked my bike and walked it up the hill (which was steep enough that riding up would be slower), and stepped on the pedals, but my gears were stuck, so I spent like three minutes sorting them out. Then I started riding down the hill (the other side), and my back tire looked kinda flat. When I got off it felt totally fine, but I still pumped it up a little and checked the pressure on the front one too (it was also fine)
I rode home and kept checking my back tire because, you know, you don't want to accidentally flat and then ride it for a while. Eventually I assured myself that I'd been imagining the flatness, and that I just hadn't seen truly flat tires in a while. I rode the last mile or so without checking!
And then as I was coming down the final grade!
I heard this flopping sound!
Wow.
So now I need to find the patch kit and run water in the tub and put the tube in there and find the hole(s) and see if it's worth patching, and if it's not I have to go out and buy a whole new tire
and I have to remember to do that before my next Saturday engagement
Here's a good rant. Why aren't their more hours in a f-({!#&! day.

Ok so spotty means "$50 for unlimited Internet for one month while you are only there for two weeks". Fortunately, I am "borrowing" someone's account. Unfortunately, I don't have a new rant.

Hmm ranting about perhaps non one ranting here anymore? I mean does JMD031 need to be the only one to rant here? I have certainly ranted a few times but only we two can't be expected to keep the ship together. I honestly haven't been here for a while either so I certainly need to take some blame too for lacking the rants but seriously folks lets start some rants. Lets really get ranting up and stuff. And why aren't there enough hours in a day? What is up with that Blue Pigeon. I mean I go to sleep and then when I wake up I need to be at work and stuff would be nice to have a little time at home to relax and perhaps enjoy the morning and not have to rush out the door and stuff. Perhaps have some breakfast spend some time with my wife and grand daughter. Who do I talk to get this sorta thing fixed anyways?

Here's a rant about autumn
Autumn, season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. What the **** does that mean? It means that the Poet Keats has been on the laudanum again, and Mighty Thor could come down from the sky and start firing lightning bolts up his winkie-woo before he took any notice of what's happening in the real world, namely rain, cold and encroaching darkness. Yeah, sometimes it's crisp and bright and clear and the apples are ripening and the jolly farmer beams as he reaps the bountiful harvest and all that ****ocks but that's the frosting on the turd, to be honest. The clammy, chilly turd.
Of course, I always associate September with going back to school after a glorious summer spent hangin' 10 crunchy hodads on my woodie while shooting the curl (or at least that's what the undercover police officer told the judge she saw me doing), so it always has a melancholy, depressing aura about it, especially as I'll be doing nothing but sweeping up leaves from around now until December. Bastard leaves. Bastard Autumn. Bloody bastard seasons, the lot of them. Why can't we hibernate, that's what I want to know. Bah. Mgrh. Feh. Poot. Ni.
Wow...+4 rant points.

Autumn's my favorite season out of the year. It's not yet cold, but it's no longer hot, and it doesn't have the hell-on-wheels allergies of spring. The temperature is just right for my comfort (yay jacket weather!) and I'm not sneezing my head off like I am the other 3/4s of the year. Couldn't be better.
I have returned....with no new rants. Sorry.
Anyone go skinny dipping in the winter?
Not even in the summer.
I am currently planning a rant about buses. Time: TBD.
I am now one of the cool kids.
Plans I had for today:
1. Go to Zoo with Family.
2. Start Serpent's Skull AP
What I'm actually going to do today:
1. Go to Zoo with Family.
2. ????
3. Not Profit. :(
This is due to one of players having to drop due to health reasons. So, I'm looking for new people to hang out with.
Done with what?

My rant on rant points.
You only just now begin to understand.
But points mean prizes!
Or maybe pikes.
Or fauchards.
Or guisarme-glaives.
Or Bohemian ear-spoons.
Points mean Bohemian ear-spoons.
By the way, Lucky7, JMD031 snuck up and pinched your phylactery while you were busy seeking enlightenment. I saw him. And then I found £5.
Or Bohemian ear-spoons.
Points mean Bohemian ear-spoons.
You rang, old bean?
Quiet, Jaundice Eyes, I'm busy meditating.
Yes, let the hatred fester.
Good...good.
lucky7 gets -2 Rant Points. Which means you owe me points. Better get to it.

I'm so Mythic I started my Serpent's Skull game with only three people. B)
Has anyone yet commented on the saying "Those who can, do; those who can't, teach"? Because I could become quite eloquent about that subject.
I like better the next step:
"Those who can, do, those who can't, teach, those who can't teach, lead."
Given that my two best friends are teachers, every time I see/hear that phrase it makes me want to punch someone.
So please, rant on.

+1. Most of the Longears Clan are teachers (not me, though).
I was quite looking forward to the Da Vinci Code rant. That'd be a goodun.
What we could do is rant collectively, maybe in a sort of Exquisite Corpse/Consequences style, i.e.
Maybe that should be a forum game. Maybe it already is. Maybe I've got a load of comments to process about cardboard, it's 23.45 and I'm REALLY REALLY ****ING BORED.
Me too.
Do eet.
Com on Geeet to the Copper !!!!!
You have just now realized the awesomeness of JMD031. Welcome to the club. In turn you also know probably understand the awesomeness of Gruumash.
Oh, keep your flamin' hair on.
We take zee caffeine, we takes ze guarana, we takes ze corn syrup (een huge quantities), we put eet in ze can and you dreenks eet, gasping as you are revitalised and inspired to do Great Deeds with the tingly taste of bull's testes
EDIT: And, of course, the Awesomeness of Gruumash is truly the Awesomeness that Passes all Understanding. Or passes something similar, if not that.
