Who's pissing on your chips today? - Page 6

Cicero · 11-12-2008, 05:40 PM

Hey I'm just f'ing pissed ummm'kay? Pissed pissed piss, and it's not a pissed that will just pass. It's a pissed I will take action on. No sweeping it under the carpet. Pissed.

I've been angry for about 24 hours now. That's a long time for me. And the longer I'm angry, the more angry I get for being angered. Don't give me that "no one can make you angry" "you decide your own emotional state". F'ing no. Some people deserve to get it when they don't know when to stfu, and say a bunch of insulting crap, esp. unprovoked at all. If I'm choosing to be be pissed, fine. That's just fine too. Fu** it.

How do people know that they have crossed the line when someone isn't there to shake their red face.

It's just going to keep happening. I feel like I have to give up. Which is the real pisser. Being in a forced situation suxors. Lose-lose. I don't like to lose.

I've been pissing in my own chips lately so I'm just gonna stop it.

HungLikeJesus · 11-12-2008, 06:25 PM

Is that how they get the salt-and-vinegar flavor?

First, it's "to whom" and not "whom to."
Second, "jest" is a joke or witticism, "gist" refers to the substance of a conversation and can be used when one is making a synopsis of a conversation.
Third, "my kids swam..."or "my kids have swum..."
Fourth,"Where" refers to location, and while the pool is the location, you are referring to the past tense, "were". Not to mention that we usually use the letter 's' when we make a plural. As in "...these meets the line ups were..."
Fifth, I'm gonna stop now and not take you to task for your shitty punctuation (mainly 'cause my own pretty much sucks) or your indefensible use of "the fact that" (according to Strunk and White) and your repeated failure to recognize verb tense or plural nouns.
Finally, You are in serious need of either penis, pussy, or more tennis. See that you get taken care of before you log on to your computer again.

BTW, If you are spending QT with your family on the weekend, why do you even have your cell phone with you?

Or you could just respond with:
"Mm'kay, thanks for sharing."

What's wrong with 'the fact that'?

See item 13. "Omit needless words"

I just read some of it. He takes the fun out of language. Sometimes its not about being concise, sometimes it's about rhythm and flow, personal speech patterns and dialect.

I'll continue to use my preferred method...the fact that he deems a reductionist approach to be more effective doesn't resonate with me :P

footfootfoot · 11-12-2008, 09:25 PM

He's no James Joyce to be sure, but he does help a lot of others who also aren't Joyce be more readable.

That;'s pretty much what I went with. sorta. ish. well maybe not quite just that but with a little additional info.....she apologized.....

We just got home from an overnight trip to find that two of the three large pumpkins we had on our side step were stolen. Part of me is pissed, and part of me wonders why the hell they didn't just take all 3, because now we still have to make a trip to the dump to get rid of the last one.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-16-2008, 01:30 PM

Because there were only two of them, they couldn't carry three.

Dump? Drop that sumbitch out at 80 mph, all the king's horses and all the king's men, couldn't scrape up enough to fill a sandwich bag.*
