A Billion Things I Hate (cont...)

- Digger Phelps. Take that highlighter and shove it up your ass. Tool. Get off my television and go bore your grandkids with your "insights." Leave the rest of us alone.

- Anyone who uses anecdotal evidence in an attempt to prove or disprove a scientific theory. Especially related to global warming. Please let the scientists handle the science, they do a pretty good job. If they need a moron to babble about irrelevant tangents, I'll give them your number. Until then, just take this piece of string and go play in the corner.

- Players who want to "chat" during online pente matches. I don't speak fucking Albanian or whatever the hell gibberish you're typing out. And even if I did, I don't give a shit about what the weather is like in Albania or whatever other banalities you want to share. Make a move!

- The Cult of the Snuggie. When is this shit going to stop? Fair warning: if you show me your Snuggie, I'm going to burn it. Whether you're wearing it or not. Hopefully the former.

- My printer. I have never had a single print job on this printer that printed right on the first try. Not one. The printer was included in the deal when I bought my computer, I guess you get what you pay for. All I can say is that when I get a new printer, this fucker is getting the Office Space treatment. Well, that or the Intergalactic Gophers treatment and I throw it off a playground structure. Either way, it's going to be a violent end.

- Armageddon Week on the History Channel. Especially "prophesy based shows" that attempt to predict disasters by interpreting old texts. (The Bible, Nostradamus, etc.) But none of these shows have any validity. They are merely a collection of wild, unprovable assertions. It's ridiculous.

- (Speaking of the History Channel...) Any genre specific channel that doesn't stick to its genre. Reality shows on MTV, live action shows on Cartoon Network, future-based shows on the History Channel, etc. etc. Its getting to the point that I'm half-expecting the Weather Channel to start airing sit-coms. I wish I was kidding.

- Wendys' new Bacon Deluxe or whatever. The Big Bacon Classic was the perfect sandwich, and it was a travesty that it was ever removed from the menu. This impostor is way off the mark. If you're going to bring it back, why try to change it all? To promote that shit-on-a-bun Baconator? Just bring back the Big Bacon Classic and quit fucking with my sandwiches.

You know you can get a Snuggie with your favorite team's logo on it now. It doesn't look like the Snuggie movement will be ending anytime soon...

...although I did read that the Snuggie itself is a piece of crap and does not hold up well in the washer. Like your printer, I guess you get what you pay for.

Let me rant about fast food. Burger King! I wanted a cheeseburger, but right now their double cheeseburger costs less than a regular cheeseburger (how that makes any sense is beyond me), so I asked for them to ring me up for a double cheeseburger, but only give me a regular one. They said they couldn't do that!

So I asked them to make me a double cheeseburger, minus one beef patty. They wouldn't do it! What ever happened to "Have it Your Way"????

Ridiculous.

I have to admit it - I own a snuggie. I got it for Christmas last year. The "official" snuggie is the thinest piece of fleece ever.

Burger King ruined it for me when they moved from the angus to the steakhouse (which is flattened and usually burnt to a crisp).

Remember when all of the fast food places were trying to promote no-trans-fats and apples in lieu of fries during the health craze we had a year or two ago? I think that's over.

I am getting sick and tired of all the armageddon specials. We have all of our favorites set on our cable box and I don't bother looking at what is on any other channels. History Channel is one of the few HD channels that I don't have programmed.
