Festivus '07 Airing of Grievances

[Yegolev]

Sorry, I tried reading your entire paragraph but I failed miserably both times.  I also fast-forward to the end of Matlock episodes and Colombo specials.

[Paelos]

Even chimps use tools.

Yes, but even we get tired at all this monkey-proof packaging these days. You can only poke at something with a stick for so long.

[stray]

Oooh, I finally got one.

I hate how when someone misreads a post, insults you about it, and never comes back into the thread again to read your perfectly swift asskicking of a clarification and rebuttal... And then... Goes about his or her merry way for months under the delusion that you're an asshat, holding that one little bit of imagined idiocy against you.

[stray]

Not enough people here who realize that the last 15 minutes of the Road Warrior is the greatest shit in cinematic history. Not enough 100 page threads about it.

Not enough talk about Rocky either.

And certainly not enough talk about music in general. Every one of those discussions craps out... Can't get even a fraction of the length of the shittiest kind of MMO related thread.

The same goes for console game discussions.

Yes.  This Sucks.

Also, people who are flat out wrong and ignore it, switching topics like your grand rebuttal of their very fucking existence didn't actually count.

Wire clippers. Fuck untwisting.

I mentioned that.  They do me no good when I'm at someone else's house who doesn't have them, or doesn't have easy access to them.  Also, it isn't much help when the wires fuck up the smaller variety, because they can't just use the thin stuff that's in actual twisty ties, but they have to use heavy cabling that could secure your car.

Have you considered opening boxes and operating the wire cutters before you wrap?

[Signe]

I hate Rocky films. Sylvester Stallone sounds like an idiot.  Is that a grievance?

[stu]

I hate that video arcades aren't as popular in the States as they were when I was a kid.

I also hate that the games at the Dave & Busters here aren't even worth glancing at.

I hate that I can't find Geometry Wars at an arcade.

[stray]

I hate Rocky films. Sylvester Stallone sounds like an idiot.  Is that a grievance?

He's acting. He wrote Rocky. Stallone is actually a genius wit a 180 iq.

[stray]

I hate bartenders that don't give you some leeway to stick around after hours to wait for some people, even if you tip them $100 a week. Bitches

edit: I hate bartenders in general. They think they're cool. Almost as bad as strippers.

[schild]

Stallone would sound like an idiot if he was talking about how he just found the cure for cancer and it turned out to be real.

[Roac]

Yes, that would be helpful at someone else's house.

[Signe]

Stallone sounds like an idiot regardless of the circumstances.   His acting is pretty crappy, too.  As far as IQ is concerned... who DOESN'T have an IQ of at least 180?  Puh-lease.  I've seen his art... didn't like that, either.  Maybe his other Rocky films were brilliant.  I don't know.  I couldn't make it through the first one.  Luckily, films, art, and other Stallone-y stuff is easy to avoid so I guess it's not even really a grievance.  Just a useless and yet somewhat satisfying bitch-about.

[Phildo]

Hard to not sound like an idiot when half your face is paralyzed.  Not a whole lot the guy can do about that.

[Signe]

I'm not talking about his speech problems.  You probably knew that, though.  Don't make me schmack you.

[stray]

As far as IQ is concerned... who DOESN'T have an IQ of at least 180?

99.99 percent of the population? Maybe?

[Azazel]

He's actually quite a good actor. Sometimes. When the role asks for acting and he chooses to act.
To Wit: Cop Land. First Blood (not the later Rambo films).

I remember seeing a press conference for Cop Land with Bob de Niro and Sly. De Niro basically spent the whole thing telling people that Stallone was sorry for his past in making crappy action films and that he now intended to do some real stuff. It was most peculiar.

[Roac]

Saw Cop Land, and I thought he was high for most of the movie.  He had this blank, spaced out expression.  Was a decent movie, but not because of him.

[Signe]

At the expense of causing Stray to poke at my name with a stick, I think he's a terrible actor.

Err... Stallone, not Stray. 

[Mrbloodworth]

I hate that I'm such a poor writer, sometimes I would just like my posts to make more sense.

I'm going to steal that one.

I hate that wighting was never a strong interest as a kid, now i have a hard to getting my point across to others when writing or typing. Even if i now enjoy writing.

Ill just draw you a picture.

[Velorath]

I hate that wighting was never a strong interest as a kid

I used to love wighting people in Myth.

[Strazos]

I hate when people bring their children into Gamestop, they have no idea what they want, and then spend the next 10 minutes or so perusing the store, and making a mess as they go.

Also, people who can't control their children in public should be shot. Or struck sterile.

[lamaros]

I hate people who think an argument is a fight; that discussion is the same as small talk.

[Yegolev]

I hate Rocky films. Sylvester Stallone sounds like an idiot.  Is that a grievance?

Only if Sylvester reads f13.net.

Speak of the devil.

[Hoax]

I hate that wighting was never a strong interest as a kid

I vote:  "Not a wighter" for Bloodworth's title...

[Ironwood]

Float free, little unstickied thread, Float Free !

Well, I'm glad this site got some semblance of a Rocky discussion for once. That's one thing off of my grief list.
