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

[dave from knoxville]

I hate how self-aware I am of the dumb stuff I say.

I was chatting with a former teacher the other day and I, for some reason, decided to tell her that "my life is falling apart" to get sympathy. I'll probably never see this person, whom was very influential to me, again and this is the impression I decided to leave her with. I've been thinking about it nonstop ever since. What's wrong with me?

Apparently your life is falling apart.

I'm desperately lonely and inadequate, but saying that "my life is falling apart" was a bit much.

Pidgeon, you asked what was wrong, and I quoted you; remember? "I was chatting with a former teacher the other day and I, for some reason, decided to tell her that "my life is falling apart" "

I wasn't making a value judgement, I just thought you forgot you had already answered this question.

Don't be lonely, that's why we are here. Just damp town the James-ness.

Oh no, you misunderstood what I was saying. I was saying that "my life is falling apart" was a bit much for ME to say.

Wait, one of our lives are falling apart; which one is it?

The Westboro Baptist Church is going to protest the funeral of a co-worker's young sister who was beaten to death by her boyfriend. I know they do this crap all the time but it just hits a little close to home

What is the "spin" they're trying to put on the protest?

[erika]

She deserved to die because she's a Catholic.

I know this is probably not the ideal time to suggest this, but wouldn't it be great if a group like Improv Everywhere (that usually does stuff that doesn't actually mean anything to anyone) would go fuck with the Westboro Baptist Assholes on one of their missions?

I bet they could get a bazillion people to participate, and it would finally bring them useless hipsters up a few notches in my book.

Anybody see the Louis Theroux episode on the Westboro Baptists? Scary stuff.

I just saw in my mind's eye 1000 people dressed in camouflage hot pants wearing wigs and fake mustaches carrying signs supporting the church.

I hate the rush by online newspapers to provide multimedia content. Often enough, the subject of an article will interest me, and I click through to see it's a video. I don't want to watch a video! I like reading.

Wow. Too bad. That's really a shame.

[Pidgeon]

White people do things this way and black people do it another way.

Can I get a stand-up special now?

This is not only a forum where the right can laugh and be themselves.  It's also a place where comedians stuck in the 1980's can laugh and be themselves.   I kept waiting for Rosie O'Donnel with a perm to come out chewing gum to introduce the next act.
