Save me from utterly clueless “techs” who make you sit there for twenty minutes while they “check the problem”, then return to tell you that “add-content-block.net is working fine.” WELL FOR CHRIST’S SAKE, I KNOW THAT MUCH! WHY, EXACTLY, DO YOU THINK I CONTACTED YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE? P’s message board got hacked; he […]

IF YOU TYPE EVERYTHING IN CAPS SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU’RE SCREAMING AT ME, I’M ACTUALLY LESS LIKELY TO READ YOUR POST AND HELP YOU WITH YOUR SICK FISH. I’M NOT BLIND, AND IT’S HARD TO READ WHEN YOU TYPE LIKE THAT. IF YOU WANT HELP, TONE IT THE FUCK DOWN. Oh, and illiterate people […]
Okay, no I don’t, exactly, but why the hell they had to give display options to people who oughtn’t have them, I don’t know. The default is three small photos across the page, and sets/groups/whatever (I forget) to one side of the page. I turned off the sets/groups/whatever because I don’t like the clutter, but […]
For Christ’s sake, why do you have to keep turning up and hanging around? I know you own their house, and we’ve been here a while, so you know us, and you know I’m here during the day. None of that means we’re pals or that we should hang out and chat. The fact that […]
What the flaming sweet Jesus Christ on a skateboard is Sourceforge hosted on….A FUCKING 486 with a dial-up connection running over 50-year-old copper? I don’t get anything from there unless I really must because IT LOADS LIKE MOLASSES RUNNING UPHILL IN JANUARY but I don’t have much choice if something on a particular site is […]
Jesus Christ that irritates me. I stumbled across a photo slideshow about how to identify insects and their bites. I thought, “Oh, this looks interesting,” or at least until I got to the point where a black widow was described as “poisonous”, and the venom of a brown recluse as, “extremely poisonous”. NO, NO, NO, […]
For the last fucking time, it’s catalpa. Not catawba, not catoba, not ca-anything else…CA-FUCKING-TALPA. Catalpa speciosa, most likely, but it’s never, ever anything but catalpa. Jesus Christ.
At some point, litigious must become downright goddamned retarded. Why else would my chunky peanut butter, clearly labelled “peanut butter”, made from peanuts, containing large chunks of peanuts, and with peanuts listed as the first ingredient bear the bold-texted warning…. WTF? I weep for the demise of common-fucking-sense, since it’s obviously become an anomaly amongst […]
I knew something didn’t look quite right with the “Pray as you go” sign. It’s just barely visible at a 500px width, but this crop of the full-size clearly shows that makers of religious signs (or at least this one) are fucking illiterates. Honestly…”it’s”? Someone please text Jesus with a prayer for a grammar and […]
P. wants to learn Spanish, and it will be easier for him if he has someone with whom he can practice. I don’t necessarily give a shit about speaking Spanish, but…meh, whatever. I have Rosetta Stone, but it wasn’t installed, so I decided to install it. Of course, it runs only on Windows, so I […]
