Google it.  LemonParty.org did a really good interest piece on it a few months back, still on their main page if you get a chance.

    The day I retired I set an auto reply that said something like "As of EOB today I will be retired.  If you expect me to reply to an email after 10:00 am today, you will be disappointed."  At the 3:00

    I hate the people that ignore it when they have the right of way and try to wave me through first, it just fucks up the system and delays everyone

Gluttonous Camping.  Sharing a sleeping bag with a woman who cant' stop eating.  It's in tents/intense, you'd love it.

Lots of hotplate specials in that event's future...

Sports announcers from the Midwest who pronounce "game" as if it rhymed with "team."

 

Kinda like "gheem."

"The Patriots looked like they were back in that football gheem." 

Sounds more Canuck than midwest.

I moved to Missouri from Texas a few years ago.  I have heard "warsh", seen some hideous BBQ, seen provel "cheese" on pizza, I've even eaten fried ravioli.  I have never heard anyone here pronounce game as "gheem".

It's more the Ohio / PA / upstate NY crowd, and it's more people you hear on podcasts and radio rather than TV

I just thought of one that is along the same lines.

As I mentioned earlier, people here say "warsh" and "quatter" instead of quarter.  It's like they take the "r" out of quarter and use it in wash.  A guy at my work is one of the offenders that I have to listen to.  A few weeks ago he was saying the word "analyze" but pronounced the first 2 syllables "anal".  So, anal-yzed.  I got a good laugh out of that one and am giggling a little now recalling it.

So, doens't make me surly, just makes me laugh.

"Tree Fiddy" was a funny part of blacklab's radio interview/downfall of shaggy. Otherwise it's not funny. Especially seeing it dropped every third post.

Missouri is in the weird yankee/redneck hinterland.

That area's about as Midwestern as Texas is.

I've never heard anyone pronounce that word that way.  That said, there's a weird western Midwest thing (you'll hear it in Iowa/Nebraska/Missouri/Kansas) where people will turn the flat "a" into an "ay" sound.  Our old announcer would always pronounce "hashmark" as "hayshmark", for example.

I missed this post before my previous one, but this is kind of exactly what I was talking about.

Agreed. Hell I thought it was something the Shag created but then found out years later it was actually a South Park reference. Haven't watched that show in over a decade.

Any bottle (mouthwash, medicine) with that annoying shrink wrap around the lid, with the spot at which you're supposed to tear it open. 9 times out of 10, that shit is still damned near impossible to open.

Took my kids to the TX/OU softball fundraiser game last night in Frisco.  Some of the players + MM were signing autographs.  95% of those trying to get autographs were adults, many of them holding posters from Interstellar, Dazed and Confused, etc..  I'm assuming they were trying to up the value of their merchandise with a signature.  Effing annoying that kids get crowded out so people can sell things on Ebay.

Doesn't really make me surly, but it's amazing to me how many grown men leave the vents on their suit jackets sewn shut from the store. I'm no fashion expert, but got damn.

That reminds me, I need to get the second booster. I almost said fuck it, then I googled shingles.

Pharmacist here.  The Shingrix vaccine is very undersupplied right now and backordered everywhere.  Start working on it soon if you want any chance of getting the second dose within the recommended 6 months. 

It makes me really surly when mfr’s come out with a new product, market the hell out of it to create a huge demand (esp. for a shingles vaccine, i’ve had shingles, it is the worst), then don’t have the product to supply the demand.  Customers blame the pharmacy instead of the mfr.   sucks.  

Sorry for the thread detail, definitely not trivial.

When people call a college football team a club. I don't know why this annoys me. I know they used to be clubs, but now there is a definite distinction between club sports and varsity sports.

people  who leave bits of garbage in shopping carts.  sample cups, a sheet of wax paper for getting donuts/cookies, etc.  toss it, asswipe.

Tom Landry always called the Redskins Warshington.

I came to love his dialect. The Bengals played in Cincinattuh. The Cardinals played in Sant Louis.

It's pretty nasty leaving asswipes in the shopping cart

Seems like every damn cart and basket has some piece of trash in it.

How I can’t read The Giving Tree with my daughter without getting teared up.

That Shel Silverstein is an asshole

Someone posts something about a news event and another poster asks for a link.  Original poster says they are on their phone and can’t post a link.

Why not?  It’s not that difficult.

So Columbus used Spanish money, Spanish ships,  Spanish navigators, Spanish engineers, Spanish sailors, Spanish cartographers, Spanish security forces, and the endorsement of the Spanish crown...but the Italians found the New World for Europe?  

Not quite sure if serious.  Don't get me wrong, his salesmanship and leadership to stave off mutiny were both impressive for the day.  But remind me how again this was an Italian expedition and not a Spanish expedition?  In my opinion, it was the first case in a half-millennia of classic Italian behavior.  Wait for somebody to invent a worthwhile industry based on integrity and growth potential...and then extort them in an effort to siphon off what is not rightfully yours using belligerent language and a sharp jacket.  

It was Spain, not Italy that brought Europe across the Ocean.
