Re: stupid gripes thread
Wait, so what is the incorrect usage of "rubric"? Working in education, I use that word (correctly) on a daily basis.
Oh, and Marty... Wait until the guy leaves for the day and restart it for him.

It's just about as productive as drawing everyone else's attention to an auction item on which you yourself are interested in bidding.

Re: stupid gripes thread
In Tulsa, it being the current meth capitol, we have been told that one of the symptoms of use is bad teeth.
AAAAAGH! This was supposed to appear right under the previous post. Not on a new page.
So there's a gripe.

I've got to post in this thread just so I can reach 10,000...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

HAHAHA!!! Congratulations, sir. May you quickly become poster No. 2. I have held that shameful position for too many years now!
I forget who is behind me, but I'm solidly at #11. Really hoping to not end up in the top 10.

Could be worse...they could be encouraging people to become TubeNet addicts and that could lead to tubas in convenience stores which would block the aisles to the "Big Gulp" dispensers!bloke wrote:Now that the government is actively encouraging people to become cannabis addicts, it won't be long until we see "methol" cigarettes in convenience stores.

I got five gold ones. I am invincible. I always have a jumbo Si Robertson style tumbler with ice at work. Me and the metal teeth are a veritable snow cone machine.Just broke a molar in half eating popcorn.

Re: stupid gripes thread
Why must people bring up old, dead topics? Or ask about items being available when they are clearly sold?
