What's mildly irritating you today? - Page 208

skysidhe · 12-29-2010, 06:32 PM

It comes in directly. It is hard to catch a signal because I live on the southern outskirts of town facing south. In fact, I am so south the geese poop in our pool.

The broadcast towers are north...so

The antenna setting is interesting,I wish it were a simple matter. I will attempt to find the perfect antenna for a reasonable price, just because I am curious.

I'll save 20 dollars a month this way anyway. I will keep comcast for my internet. It's good, except they keep wanting to sell me extra super dooper speed internet for 'only 10 dollars more a month." It's fast enough. What they can't fix is their terrible, terrible HD. They need broken up. (In a good way)

anyway... yesterday: beard dandruff. black shirt.

and when I got home, Uncle Bald Guy is visiting, and the fucker drank both of the Golden Monkey beers I had left. There is plenty of other beer in the house (A whole Lancaster Brewery Sample 12 pack, 1/2 case of Yeungling, a couple Guiness draughts) left from Christmas. How did this cocksucker intuitively know which was my favorite $12/six pack beer, and then drink THE LAST TWO?? cockbite. I never liked this guy.

hmm... i might be more than mildly irritated here.

them's hangin' rights there.

Sideways snow keeping me from getting to work.

Dang head cold. Ugh! I'm almost better by now, except my voice is G-O-N-E from coughing. Number 1, my children do not respond to whispered instructions. Number 2, I'm supposed to record sometime next week. I'm praying for some combination of speedy healing and a delayed script.

I have read everything that I hadn't read on the cellar and now all the icons are gray. Someone post something already.

It's funny how we don't notice funky stuff with our own equipment because we have learned how it behaves, and we just adjust our technique to use it. I was snow blowing my parents driveway, and it took me forever to start the snow blower (electric start) and then I though the thing was on its last legs, because it didn't have the power to get through the packed plowed snow bank at the end of the driveway.

Turns out it wouldn't start because the choke doesn't need to be on "full" to start, and it was fading by the time I got the the end of the driveway because the throttle lever is subject to vibrations making it slow down.

Once you know to set the choke on normal to start, and to occasionally push the throttle forward again, the thing works like a champ. You do it without even thinking.

Just use the Steve Dallas Random Thread Picker and see where that takes you.

I'm bored...

Call me names. I haven't been called anything that's made me laugh with it's proposterousness, wit or accuracy for a long time. Let's have a name calling competition. You have 24 hours and I'll pick the best. You can only call me names, though. No sniping at other dwellars, you might hurt their feelings. I'll send the best pick my best pickings

Shawnee123 · 01-04-2011, 01:49 PM

I need a cigarette. When I'm out there, I'll try to think of something perfectly suited to the enigma that is "monster." (you have to really draw out monnnnnsterrrrr, like you're holding one of those cigarettes on a long stick and wearing an evening gown, dahling.)

monster · 01-04-2011, 02:12 PM

Monster, you cunt, the pen maybe mightier than the sword, but you wield a keyboard like a pissy toddler attacking with a broken doll. If you take our eyes out with it, it's sheer dumb luck.

Shawnee123 · 01-04-2011, 02:21 PM

monnnnnnnnnssssterrrrrrrrr, dahling, I don't know what's wrong with you, but I bet it's hard to pronounce. It's hard for you to see the big picture, with such a small screen, but I wanted you to know: any friend of yours, is a friend of yours.

See, and all without calling you a cuntburger. You cuntburger.

monster · 01-04-2011, 02:25 PM

I've never been called a cuntburger before.....have I? I gotta admit i don't always read posts when i know they're just gonna be pissy/whiny -perhaps I missed one. Any way, just so long as it's not a cuntburger with pickles..... ::shudder::
