Stuff you hate (aka: the new f. you thread)

[cutout]

Vintage photo effects. All of them.

Can you elaborate on this?

Instagram, Hipstamatic, faux-Leica, cross-processing, all that stuff.

DEAR SELF-STYLED INTERNET PERSONALITY: nobody cares that you don't like the Beatles.

[Steve of Bloomington]

Oh come on, not liking the Beatles is rebellious! No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones, or The Clash. (except the Brett Haskins version).

I hate mice in my house. Not mice per se. Mice in the house. Come on guys. I have 3 acres and you're welcome to all of it except for the house. You've been really great about this for the past few years. Why the sudden desire to help yourself to my Cheetos? Sheesh.

I also hate the subsequent but unavoidable anti-mouse pogram. Is this how Pol Pot got his start? I hope not.

If only the dumb things could be reasonable.  I don't even mind them in the house as long as they stay out of the kitchen.  But do they abide by these easy terms?  No, they do not.  And before you say, "Wait a minute there, toots.  All the best treats are in the kitchen--surely you can see how unfair it is to expect mice to resist that temptation?" I will counter by saying they can eat all manner of stuff we can't and I'm willing to give them all of that, plus warm, safe living quarters, in return for nothing but a little restraint.  It's a damn good deal, were they smart enough to see it.

My little sister had a taxidermied turtle that was shellacked and the mice in her rent house ate the flesh off of it, exposing the bones on all the visible fleshy parts (head, feet, tail)

[Sarah]

Hell, they eat fiberglass insulation; a stuffed turtle must have been a gourmet delight.

[Alex_from_the_woods]

That stuffed turtle story is seriously freaky. Sounds like a prop from the Addams Family show. Now that I think of it- is the turtle for sale?

And Sarah- they eat fiberglass? For reals? Think of the implications of a steady diet of fiberglass.

Pros:

You'd be able to float forever.
If you drink a cup of tea- it'll keep you warm for a really long time

Cons:

Going #2- reeeaaaaaalllly itchy

[Sarah]

Nah, sorry to disappoint, but, though they burrow through it, chew it up, and wreck it, I don't think they gain any nutritional benefit from the exercise.  My point was more that they seem to be willing to try 'most anything.

Ugh. I've had the same group of friends since just about kindergarten (obviously, we all have friends outside the group, but there's a core group of about 8 of us that still keep in touch.) we've been through a lot and we've always kind of had a brotherly shit-talking thing. Lately one of these guys in particular has become extremely sensitive, reading too much into any comment and taking them as insults when they aren't even directed at him. He just sent me a message on facebook about how I need to stop trolling on facebook (which I don't do) and about how he uses facebook for networking  and he doesn't need me fucking up his contacts (I don't even know where he's coming from)

Ugh.

I'm missing Thanksgiving again.

Jesse Ventura's conspiracy show on TruTV.

[jendawnb]

Eww, TruTV is spelled "TruTV?"  I don't know what I was expecting, but ... not that.  Gross.

[Steve of Bloomington]

I don't get TruTV. I imagine the show would be good for 10 minutes of entertainment or so, kind of like Sarah Palin's Alaska was.
